Nioh General Discussion

its interesting, although TN has lost many of its hack n slash fanbase its drawing most of its hype from Onimusha fans and Darksouls fans. if this does well it will probably surpass Ninja Gaiden.

she even has wings...

Never under estimate the copy-paste.

we're talking about a succubus, not sure what yall expect.

Watching the gameplay against what will likely be lesser enemies has me excited. I just want to see if they allow bosses to be affected by hit stun. Usually developers opt to ignore it with bosses in favor of a cheap boost to difficulty. I want to see challenging bosses that react to my attacks properly.

Wow.....they are apparently going to show more gameplay footage at TGS tonight/tomorrow! So we should see more very soon!!!

This must mean the game is already pretty far along in development. I would love a Spring 2016 release!

I'm disappointed to hear that they seem pretty set on your protagonist's appearance. I was actually hoping you'd be able to pick from several different playable characters who each have unique gameplay elements, but oh well. I am relieved to see him using a spear in the last screenshot, indicating multiple weapons (should be a "no duh" feature, but NG3...).

Koei Tecmo decided to go exclusive on PS4 to use the console’s popularity in order to support the learning of Japan’s rich supernatural tradition.

What?

Lets support the learning of Japan's rich supernatural tradition by limiting access to our game.

Someone said its going to be a Japan exclusive so maybe thats why.

A lot of gameplay here from today's live stage.

Looks amazing to me, maybe I'm more excited for this game than Dark Souls 3.

I need to watch that when I can do so from my couch. I have some thoughts.

Very interesting.

Looks like the Hayabusa village level from NG Black. Really like the slower game play and it looks like there are 4 stances on that bottom right wheel in the corner. Very good looking stuff. Can anybody translate a rough overview of what they were explaining?

 

[Brute]

Well, someone's been playing a lot of Dark Souls. And yet somehow it still looks ike Ninja Gaiden more than Ninja Gaiden 3.

I have to admit that it's somewhat nostalgic to see yellow essence pouring out of slain opponents again.

 

[Matt Ponton]

I like the seriousness to the combat, not much a fan of the AI as it decides who will attack but I'm just going to chalk that one up to the seriousness of the combat for now. It gives the effect of "a single hit could kill you" like fighting games of old. It's not haphazard attacking hack & slash.

So is there a reason I should be interested in Ni-Oh, or should I just buy Dark Souls 3?

 

[WAZAAAAA]

So this is what Brad Wong does when he's not drunk... he's got multiple stances too lol.

Or maybe it's what turned him into an alcoholic. .
