Will Tenchu's first foray onto the Xbox 360 emerge as a fleet-footed, shadow-hugging ninja leaping elegantly from roof to roof and killing in blessed silence?
Or will it announce itself as a stampeding and non-responsive behemoth that stumbles about like an inebriated elephant while brain dead A.I. adversaries look on in glazed ignorance?
Find out what various critical sources had to say on Tenchu Z in GamerSquad's Review Round-up.
Chris Penwell from PlayStation LifeStyle writes: FromSoftware has had a vast history of games development since 1994. As we celebrate the release of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, we take a dive back into the company's history.
The Xbox team has been on a bit of a hiatus in updating the Xbox One’s core software, as the holidays were dedicated to making sure that everything worked for the many new owners of the console, and on adding features for developers. Looks like the same will happen next month, while more features for end users will come in early 2015. On the other hand January will see a big Windows 10 event, and Spencer is excited to share both Windows and Xbox plans.
I'm anxious to know what these plans are and what features will go to these developers
I also want to see the advancements from the latest SDK and how well holiday 2015 games perform with Directx 12
Games are already looking great and these things will only make Xbox One better :)
Curious to truly see the actual improvements dx12 will give xb1. The esram sdk recently is going to be a big help. MS are doing great supporting xb1 with continual improvements.
Discussing the ninja stealth genre and how the selection of games is very lacking.
Well you all know what I think by now.
Man, I'd never heard of Shinobido 2. I might have to get a Vita.
What I dont get is that Ninjas and stealth are so fkn cool. Why is no one tapping into that. Why are all the stealth titles becoming action games?
The only game that really came close to Tenchu for me, (and isnt even a Ninja game) is Manhunt. I love hiding in the shadows for minutes at a time, just waiting for the right time to pounce and take another scalp. Literally in Manhunt.
Please someone give me another Tenchu and Manhunt game !!
we would need both sony and microsoft to release an exclusive ninja style game on their console to compliment their console capabilities.
the exclusive competition alone can raise hype to an nex gen release... dont you guys miss the 2 companies going at each others neck.
anyway we the gamers need variety otherwise we'll be playing the same game different name.
unfortunately, just like the stealth genre, so many games have been dumbed down, or relegated to a "one button does everything" mentality.
