Sony and Koei Tecmo are releasing The Nioh Collection for PS5 next year. It has great box art but the price tag is also rather expensive.
FromSoftware's Elden Ring is creeping ever-closer, so how can you prepare for Elden Ring launch day? With these seven games of course!
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.
Sony’s dropped a surprise PS Store sale for some of the PlayStation 5’s biggest games, including Returnal, Demon’s Souls, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Scheduled to run until 28th June, the promotion sees Housemarque’s roguelite reduced to £52.49/$49.69, which represents a 25 per cent saving. FromSoftware’s cult action RPG is also temporarily £52.49/$49.69.
£52 is still pretty high for a game that’s on sale but it’s a bigger discount then Nintendo offers on there games.
(taking into consideration your pathetic comment history) What the hell is the point of this comment? WOw yOu JuSt deStRoYeD SoNy dUde
It's just on sale for a weekend. Calm your tits. This doesnt mean the games are selling poorly, kid.
You're right. The X's exclusives are still selling strong. Ms doesn't need to put them on sale. Oh! Wait...
No it didn't. The way I see it is.. if you're not hell bent on day 1, then you can hold out so $70 isn't an issue for you. Also who doesn't like to save $$$ on bangers. Hope sony comes up with a service to rival gamepass. They have the titles for it.
People need to stop pretending that psnow doesn't exist. The only benefit for gamepass is day one exclusives that most people don't want to own hence why they're day one. Even ps+ has given me a better library that GP.

Or more chances of Xbox selling you a free to play game with ugly graphics.
Didn't take long for this comment either. Not sure how it's relevant though, perhaps if PS5 and PS5 games weren't selling like hotcakes, there would be something negative to extrapolate from it, but alas this is not the case. From what I can see, it looks good for Sony and gamers alike.
Agreed. I don't think sony has ever had a problem selling games especially 1st party
I think it's good that they're putting their games on sale already. No reason to keep the prices artificially High. Sony has always been good about putting stuff on sale in a reasonable time frame.
@Mclane
No, but you said that it didn't take long. Well, the console launched in Nov 2020, it's been 7 months and this is the 1st I've seen most of these go on sale. Id say that's long enough, and why not throw the newer ones like Returnal on sale too, maybe sell a few extra copies 🤷 I can also see them dropping Ratchet and Clank down to $50 soon as well. I don't like the $70 price tag, but $50 is more digestible and reasonable for a lot of people.
I might get Returnal, I always wanted it but I was not paying $70 for it or any game. Is it multiplayer?
yeah it is. Your friend can play as the gun and fire whenever he wants against your will
That actually sounds like an interesting coop idea. Has that not been done before? One controls the movement, the other the gun? Reminds me of the IGN Linked Together series.
@nijtram2000
Mario Galaxy did it on the Wii. The second player pointed the star cursor and could shoot enemies and collect stuff on the screen, while the first player controlled mario.
In a Demon Souls way it is, but not multiplayer in the traditional sense of teammates fighting next to you. The isolation is part of the atmosphere.
Returnal is fantastic! I just finished my first play through and am going for the true ending now. Really unique game with some cool weapons
I went out and supported the game about a week or two after release by buying it full price. Personally, I enjoyed it, but I do like rogue-like games to start with.
And Spider-Man Remastered is still probably the full $20 upgrade, and is still only able to be purchased through the SM:MM start menu. Beyond stupid
Friend and I have been playing this a lot lately and we made it to dream of the Demon difficulty realizing we hadn’t even tapped into this games depths.lol we should be on dream of the wise by the time we get a PS5 and I can’t wait to get all the perks this game will get
2 games with improvements and all the dlc for one price is legit deal. Let's stop hating on $70 price tag yes it absolutely sucks but it's here to stay. Gaming as a hobby has never been cheap
Great games but I’ll wait for a big price drop
cat looks cool
