Kotaku:
Whether you liked Nioh or hated it, I must truly commend Team Ninja for their spectacular job on handling this demo. This is the kind of demo that I wish every game was able to sport before release. But first, let’s take a quick history lesson regarding this Nioh.
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
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 :)
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.
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.
Yeah, I can't remember the last time I spent so much time playing a demo. Probably PT actually. I hope we see more of this game at E3.
I have played the demo several times over now trying different builds. Probably have 20 hours in the demo. Game is pretty much a day one purchase.
It's great, haven't played a demo for this long in ages, ended up completing the second level too.
Take notes Square Enix, your "Platinum Demo" was utter garbage.
I concur. Not only is it rare that a demo comes off as more robust than most full games on offer in this day and age, but being rewarded DLC as an incentive for completing the demo as opposed to purchasing is just icing on the cake. Kind of like how it was with Until Dawn, this was one game that was nowhere near being on my radar, but has instantly become a must have.
Great,lengthy and rich demo adding matchmaking and dlc if u finish the first stage is just great day 1 purchase for me and i almost never play sp
