Nioh’s Demo Is Good For Us All

Pixelgate writes:

''Team Ninja’s Nioh is full of fresh ideas and nice concepts. After spending a good 2 hours playing the demo, I was impressed. The one thing that stood out was the fact that it was a demo. It’s so rare to see demos released free of charge, which is quite sad. I can’t recall the last time I had been able to truly try a game in such a manner. The modern method of pre-order ‘betas’, almost asking the player to pay-to-try, has never sat well with me.''

PixelGateUk2928d ago

it's worth a shot, lots of nice ideas

Phil322928d ago

One of the few things the Wii U does right-- lots of demos compared to the competition. hehe

PixelGateUk2928d ago

for sure, the 3ds has plenty of demos too

Has any console game have done this "choose your graphical setting" thing ?
Action Mode (720p60fps) and Cinematic mode (1080p30fps).

NewMonday2928d ago

remember BF3 on PS3 had graphic options that can be turned off to help performance

freshslicepizza2928d ago

bioshock allowd you to turn off v-sync to get better frame rates

starchild2928d ago

Yeah, Infamous Second Son allowed you to lock the framerate at 30fps or run with it unlocked. The Last of Us Remastered also allowed you to lock the framerate at 30fps.

The "movie" mode in Nioh actually doesn't run at 1080p. It uses dynamic resolution scaling, but seems to average around 900p.

Not really a demo, an alpha test that ends tomorrow

which inspired the Deathloop idea

I’ve got it, never played it. Prey is a game I really wanted to like and it’s a game I really should have liked, everything about it is right up my street. But I just don’t know what it was but I just couldn’t stick with it.

How is it cool that a developer working in 2 projects were shut down?

Jingsing3h ago

He is being sarcastic because this is clearly another battle for N4G propaganda news article to try and filter out the bad Microsoft articles. It is ancient news.

@jingsing
Exactly mate I just wanted to be sarcastic.

We went over this month's ago. Great timing though considering all things going on these last few days.

Shts cute

This is the Microsoft defense force. They can't spin the current bad press in any coherent way, so all they can do is normalise the idea of studio shutdowns so that what Microsoft is doing seems completely normal as opposed to shambolic and a direct effect of bad decisions for the gaming industry. But hey, it's a cute attempt indeed.

Wake me up when Sony axes Housemarque after Returnal.

Then we'll talk.

Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.

VenomUK5h ago

It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.

Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.

SimpleDad7h ago

Of course, they rereleased MGS series on modern platforms. Thank You Mr. Kojima.

shinoff21832h ago
