The Drop
What a week! The intense, multiplayer battles of Alienation begin on PS4 alongside the long-awaited dungeon-crawler Severed on PS Vita.
Developed by the critically acclaimed studio Housemarque, Alienation pits you against a massive alien invasion of Earth. Unleash devastating weapons upon the alien hordes and earn upgrades to better influence the outcome of the fight. Massively destructible environments will crumble before your onslaught as you battle with up to three friends in a ruthless game of survival.
Meanwhile, in a colorful and strange world, a young woman awakens to terrible misfortune in Severed on PS Vita. Explore a monster-filled dungeon and dispatch your foes in a tactile new combat system. Wield the powers of the fallen to unravel the mystery surrounding the woman’s missing family.
Team Ninja: "The Nioh franchise has sold over 6 million copies worldwide now!"
At 6 million NiOh is on the cusp of nearly outselling Ninja Gaiden’s 6.8 million with just only 2 titles under its belt
This could mean Team Ninja may see no reason to return to producing new NG games
The latest Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection had sold 240,000 units worldwide at last count
Unfortunately that may not be as high enough a number to convince Team Ninja to also commit to continuing Ninja Gaiden alongside Dead or Alive and NiOh.
And when they aren’t working on those they’re focused on licensed properties like Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order and Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin.
I wish I were wrong but that may be how Tecmo Koei sees it. Hopefully they prove me wrong and produce Ninja Gaiden 4 at some point
To be fair, does anyone still trust Team Ninja with Ninja Gaiden*?
Let’s be honest here, it was Itagaki who created Ninja Gaiden greatness, with NG1, NG Black (improved version of NG1), and Ninja Gaiden 2.
The Sigma versions of 1 & 2, done without Itagaki, while decent/good, never lived up to the originals, and NG3 was a mess.
And they half-assed the collection, so many huge fans of the series never bothered picking that up.
I’d be excited if Itagaki would announce a return to the action ninja genre. If Team Ninja would announce a NG4, I’d be skeptical.
To be fair, Team Ninja DID show they’re still capable of releasing greatness with the Nioh games, but with Ninja Gaiden, without Itagaki, they have never been able to reach the quality of NG Black again.
(* … does anyone still trust them with the DOA games, for that matter … !? )
Things are not seen from that stand point.Ninja Gaiden Never had a game produced for PS4 or Xbox One from the ground up.Nioh sold 6 milion because exposure and Marketing are way bigger this days than they were on PS3 and Xbox 360 generation.The Ninja Gaiden collection was never going to sell much since theres nothing new on them,this collection is actually worse to what was already available on Xbox 360 and can be play by BC on any Xbox One console.Ninja Gaiden needs a new game that shows new stuff and that gets backed in the marketing like Nioh.This collection games have already been played by anyone that likes Ninja Gaiden years ago it didnt bring nothing new to the table it was obvious that it would not sell very well.
I just picked it up a couple of hours ago, it was a nice surprise to see it there.
they deserve this, Nioh is a amazing game. Hopefully they will expand and make a more ambitious game and have even more sales.
With PlayStation Now’s May lineup, you can try to survive unrelenting yokai in feudal Japan, rub shoulders with manga icons, and battle your way across an entire city. Starting tomorrow, May 4, Nioh, Jump Force and Streets of Rage 4 will be available to play on your PS5 or PS4 console.
Ohh I always wanted to try Jump Force. Can get back on my fantasy of being Goku :)
Talking about Goku, I used to like him a lot, but he just became a selfish jerk that only want to fight and left his family behind to rot lol, at least we see Vegeta spent some time with family here and there lol
Goku's far from selfish. He's just an idiot with an addition.
Also Dragon Ball Z starts with Piccolo basically being Gohan's dad. Not sure how these things became a realization in 2021 lmao
Nioh was given out on PS Plus around a year ago (most people who have PS Now also have PS Plus) and Jump Force is not particularly good. There's a big gap in quality between PS Plus and PS Now.
Streets of Rage is a fantastic game. Didn't know about Nioh though. I don't think I have it. Though I'd rather play the ps5 version in the future
Streets of Rage 4 is a must-play title if you like beat em up.
Also, not everyone has PS+ so Nioh is still a good game.
Total worldwide shipments and digital sales for Nioh 2 have surpassed two million units, and total shipments for the Nioh series have surpassed five million units, publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Team Ninja announced.
I'm so happy to hear that because that means they will continue developing amazing games like that.
Nioh is such a great game. I love the series.
So we're getting the Ni-Oh demo this week. That is awesome. I wonder when the game will be released. It's easily one of my most anticipated games. How could it not be? It looks like a cross of a few of my favorite games: Onimusha, Ninja Gaiden and Dark Souls. It has so much potential, I hope they pull it off.
Ni-Oh looks like a really good game. Rare for me to care much about AAA these days, outside a few.
Nioh demo yessss
only interested in the ni-oh demo
