Still, rather have this be in the game already
This reminds me that I miss the fuckin' INTERCEPT technique from HP1 that got taken out of NGB. Itagaki said because it made the game too easy when you master it, but that shit was GODLIKE. You could intercept Lord Doku and the Berserkers all day if you knew what to look for.

what? that wasn't weapon dlc, that was a free expansion pack for the whole game,

It was free DLC that gave you new weapons to play the base game with, if you wanna get specific with their comparisons.

I'm pretty sure that other weapon that is not a katana, is exclusive for the multiplayer, the main game is all about the katana.

I have a feeling that any website or publication could give it perfect scores, yet everyone will refuse to accept it.

no, it rebalanced the game in some ways, added new enemies, new difficulty mode, new moves. the lunar staff was just one small part of it.
That quote tells me nothing that says what Hayashi did or didn't do. Stop trying to discredit him. Hayashi was the proect lead of NGB, deal with it.
As for extra characters and whatnot, say what you want about Rachel, but Ayane was absolutely fantastic in NGS2.
Thanks for the accurate translations, I'll try to fix them when I get home. Yeah, I pretty much googled everything else.
He's speaking on behalf of his company man. The question even then asked what was new in NGB, not what Itagaki specifically did. That's his style of answering questions anyway speaking from a first person. And again, I'm not saying NGB was Hayashi personal effort, it's just refuting the claim by nearly half of the people in this thread that he's some incompetant reject that can't design an action game in any conceivable way.
Momiji had the awesome airborne obliteration techniques... that novelty was more than enough to have a lot of fun in her mission. But yeah it's true, nothing compared to Ayane.

Lol, that was the point of "how many days it will take".
I was just thinking about how so many people would be willing to pay for a "real ending" dlc for Mass Effect 3.
Not only withdrawing content will become more and more a standard (if already isn't) but we'll find a way to talk ourselves into it.

Wow, no shit? You see I never played NG before so this is all news to me.
*rolls eyes*
Jesus you guys, I'm just showing how free DLC that gives you weapons isn't a new thing for these 3d NG games. That's it.
Holy FUCK
How did you come to this conclusion? This is just speculation. Itagaki has mentioned which team ninja staff did what in the past. He's usually very frank about it. It's not like itagaki talks to take credit for everything. From him we know it was Matsui who came up with Ryus fluid animations
People are only saying they dislike what he did with sigmas and what they see in the new one, I think its fair to complain about some of these odd design choices. Personally I like what he's doing with doa5.
-Frame drops check
-Slow mo bullshit check
-Random SOBs that take control away from the player check
-Reduced weapon variety check
-Reduced replayability check
-Fucking QTEs check
When your criteria is to "design an action game in any conceivable way" then yeah sure, he can design an action game. But then again, so can Ninja Theory. But can he design a Ninja Gaiden game? Obviously he can't, since he doesn't even seem to understand what makes a Ninja Gaiden game.

Tecmo's not making Ninja Gaiden (insert greek letter here). It's NG3, they're trying something different. And there's enough in the game going by the controls and combat to know that the core DNA of the old games is still present.
Well, let me give you the example of Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword. Hayashi Produced and Directed it and Tecmo let Itagaki handle PR for the game. I never saw him recognize Hayashi even once for that game.

Nailed it.
In my opinion, it's not that Hayashi is incompetent, but like it's mentioned, he doesn't understand the first two Ninja Gaiden and his vision is different for the series. .
This is me.
I don't expect it to measure up to NGB or even NG2, but I don't think it will be a bad game.
There is, but it changes into different moves when you change swords.
It's a scan from an old issue (note the January 2012 issue date in the folio). Things obviously changed since we spoke with Hayashi for that story, because you don't unlock new swords as you progress.
I forgot about this observation. Sonds good to me. One of the things that made NG great was pitting the player against seemingly impossible battles. If Hard already seems... too hard, we're on the right track, at least difficulty-wise. Still worried about the slowdowns, I hated them in NG2. The staircase of doom wasn't actually that bad, as it was in slow motion from start to finish, but the slowdowns in the first two chapters were rage inducing.
Another Review:
Famitsu: 9/9/9/9
Previous games:
NGS+: 8 / 8 / 8 / 8
NGS2: 9 / 9 / 9 / 8
NG2: 9 / 9 / 8 / 8
NGS: 9 / 8 / 8 / 8
Couldn't find the reviews for the ones preceeding these.

The game may actually be good, but Famitsu makes Game Informer look like EDGE.

/// Steel Spider- Day 1- its the giant spider tank that a lot of us have seen in the preview of the london stage
/// Regent of the Mask- Day 1- the guy in the red cloak doing his best phantom of the opera impression. most have seen him in demo
/// IDE-1011 Manta Helicopter- Day2- pretty self explanatory here, giant helicopter with turrets. looks like the kunai climb is required to beat it, so maybe its not a throw away gimmick after all
/// Gigantosaurus- Day3- giant dinosaur that appears to be wearing armor. you can get a quick look at it in the NG3 official launch trailer
/// Regent of the Mask Day 3- phantom of the opera fight part 2
/// prototype goddess "lovelace"- Day 4- wish i had the words to describe what it looks like, all i can really say is its in the vein of other NG fiend bosses and the arms transform.
/// Obaba- Day 5- another hard one to describe with words, its a GIANT demon type fiend
/// Epigonos-Day6- looks to be a ryu doppelganger and has many of your same attacks. also after defeating him, you have to fight him in his final form which i can best describe as some sort of zombie form of ryu. he also uses the TDS as well as the falcon talons and eclipse scythe on you in this form
/// White Steel Spider- day 7- looks to be a bigger version of the first boss with a force field, flame thrower, missiles and it does more damage. oh, and you have to fight 2 of em. also it appears this thing stands up like a power rangers megazord and then proceeds to fly. the guide counts those 2 forms as separate battles, but i figured id lump them all in
/// Regent of the Mask- Day 7- looks like you and the regent go at it for round 3 /// Cliff- Day8- best i can describe him is if you took he-man, made him and 9 foot tall fiend and gave him 4 arms
/// Regent of the Mask-Day8 - round 4
/// Goddess- Day 8- cant really describe her well, but its GIANT, and has sort of a hindu goddess statue head, also a lot of neon lines all over the body like shes wearing a suit from tron

Be careful with gamefaqs, it seems it's full of spoilers.
One thing that's up is famitsu scores are irrelevant.
That's probably true, but they must have, at least tried, to justify that score.
In the mean time, everything else i read about it is hilariously bad (at least compared to the previous games).
Well, just look at the trackrecord. They gave ngs2 9/9/9/8... so yeah.

Game just came out here.
I like how it's a modern action game without Weapon upgrades using currency or items.

All these negative comments from people who've played the game on this board seem worrying. Thanks for your highly constructive gameplay impressions.
Yeah, refreshing, isn't it? There is a vocal minority of gamers who can't bear the thought of their beloved franchises changing. I would understand the negativity if they had actually played the game, but that isn't the case. Let's wait and see; it might actually (gasp) turn out to be a good game. And possibly be worthy of the NG name.

No
True dragon sword? Only 3 swords?
Least a couple of the boss battles seem Ok. I haven't committed it to memory, how many boss fights were in NGB/2? (not including the times you'd beat a subboss and it would become a regular enemy)

Don't try it.
Edit: and don't try "a demo is not indicative of the full game" either as the same things I pointed out 6 months odd ago are being pointed out in the retail copy. It's just more of the same ninja doggery.
