PlayStation Universe has a small interview with Team Ninja lead Yosuke Hayashi about Ninja Gaiden 3.
Saad from eXputer: "Team Ninja's stories may not appeal to everyone due to their barebones nature but they deserve credit for being fun."
Exputer dude says Team Ninja needs more credit for their stories (what their known for) and credit for being fun (also known for challenging and fun gameplay). Team Ninja gets a LOT of credit. That's why they keep making games. You just can't expect everyone to award them the attention-level and regard that you think they deserve.
"I’m aware that some things are often not for everyone. Not because someone is actively gatekeeping but due to the product or premise failing to appeal to the masses" - Hmmm l dunno, sounds kinda like we are about to go for a cruise down gatekeeper blvd to me.
Takeaway, Exputer as a pimple gaming journal site that should not be concerned about the recognition standards of a studio they have zero involvement in. You perspective is outsider and totally disconnected from reality as far as how the industry sees them.
Takeaway 2, Exputer is only in about a generation deep into Team Ninja. Posers. Take your gate keepy BS and shove it. We know what makes team ninja great and they are doing just fine doing what THEY do.
Every branch under Koei Tecmo is talented I am a big fan of theirs no matter what the game is or who makes it.
I thought Nioh 1+2's stories were fine, nothing amazing but they kept me interested. William and the Protag in 2 were pretty cool. Wo Long was ok I guess but it just felt like another retelling of the three kingdoms again which we've seen told so much in video games and especially dynasty warriors.
Where is a new DEAD OR ALIVE !!!!
That is the only game we care about from Team Ninja 😂
Rise of the Ronin's difficulty options include Narrative, Intermediate and Hard. As the name suggests, Narrative mode is for players who just want to experience the story without any serious combat. Intermediate is your standard medium difficulty that will provide some challenge while Hard is in line with Team Ninja's previous games like Nioh and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
The Nioh team’s next samurai tale launches on March 22 as a PS5 exclusive
The visuals seem somewhat unpolished and looks like from a last gen game. I wouldn’t mind a delay.
Ghost of Tsushima did not have the best graphics quality compared to other PS exclusives but the beautiful art style made it stand out. This game just looks generic in comparison.
... while most Ninja Gaiden fans wished they would have stayed much closer to Ninja Gaiden Black, instead of the direction they have taken with Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma and 3!
It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. And its funny, im a ninja gaiden fan but I think ng3 should've released two years ago.
NG 1&2 looks the same .. that is why i'm so happy that NG3 is taking a new direction.
Team Ninja is about to bless us with two amazing games in the near future (that I know of). NG3 and DOA5 will likely be great AAA titles that every gamer should give a chance.
There ones to talk. . .
