Ryu is and always will be the protaganist to me.Just let me play 100% with Ryu and I'll fine.
And even thought it was gimmicky, I wouldn't mind if Ayane and Katsumi were also playable as an NG+ or something

These gifs make me wish they made Metal Gear Rising 2.

That stopped being a thing since Sigma 2.Just let me play 100% with Ryu and I'll fine.
That'd be like being surprised people care about playing as Master Chief, or the DOOM Slayer, or Samus, or Dante. Ryu is the face of Ninja Gaiden, has been since the NES days.Honestly surprised people care about playing as ryu or not.
Dude was bland as hell in the other games.
Combat looks amazing as always.
I will. For sure I'll enjoy Yakumo. I just need more Ryu contentGive it a chance guys, you never know when you'll get a new Nero or Raiden you actually enjoy playing as in the long run.
Maybe its just me or preference, but I'm starting to believe that UE4 looks better than UE5.Graphically this seems to be a downgrade from the remake we got earlier this year.
Jesus don't even bring up DMCV. That game legit has some of the shittiest level design in anywhere-near recent memory. Peak was running down endless demon assholes or whatever those intestines were.Ninja Gaiden is one of my favorite series so I am there. So far, the environments look a little bit underwhelming though. Where are the walls to run on? No verticality?
Third person action games are failing at this lately. DMCV comes to mind.
20 years ago we were wall running and jumping down stairs flights in Ninja Gaiden. Otogi had us smashing enemies 50 yards back, DBZ style and crashing through pieces of the environment.
Why, in 2025, are we duking it out in wide empty arenas?
Googled re: what happened to Tomonobu Itagaki, top result is a reddit thread calling him a sex pest and claiming he was never a good game designer. The internet sure is something these days.
I am getting the same vibes. NG3 sucked ass to me. I do not like going from one set piece to the next with nothing out of the way. I do not like bosses that force playing in a very specific way. I also abhorred the climbing, gliding, and QTEs. Narratively it was also so over the top that it came off as really dumb.Guys, I've been waiting on a new NG game for more than a friggin' decade but after watching the latest gameplay video...I just don't know, the super-fast and floaty/aerial gameplay (can't explain it better, sorry) reminds me of Friggin' NG3 and that's not a good thing for me.
Guess I'll have to play it first but, I'd hate to get burnt AGAIN after NG3...
The OG NG2 is still the best character action game in existence with infinite replay value and I'm afraid that nothing will come close ever again.
I appreciate you making this post. Ryu limited to 1 weapon and seemingly having a reduced playable role isn't what the majority wanted but I have a feeling (hope) the DLC will be Ryu heavy and if the people behind the game felt a fresh protagonist was the way to go for this entry, we ought to at least give it a chance.Give it a chance guys, you never know when you'll get a new Nero or Raiden you actually enjoy playing as in the long run.
One of the key reasons we chose to introduce a new protagonist this time is that Ninja Gaiden 4 marks the series' return after a long hiatus. We trust that longtime fans who've followed the series so far will continue to support, but at the same time, we also wanted to create a character that would allow new players – those starting fresh with the franchise – to begin on equal footing and grow alongside the protagonist. That was the shared vision between Team Ninja and PlatinumGames. And from that vision, Yakumo was born.

Love that revisionist history. Like NG and NG2 aren't some of the best and slickest action games ever made.Googled re: what happened to Tomonobu Itagaki, top result is a reddit thread calling him a sex pest and claiming he was never a good game designer. The internet sure is something these days.
