cool, thank you for this.

This is meant to be a masocore game, we consciously avoided making it easy - Fumihiko Yasuda

Great interview, listed reasons for changes and influences. I didn't know if i should make a new thread but this one is up and active so i might as well post it.

"There were folks who thought that the second demo had re-focused Nioh into an easier action game, but Yasuda says that's not the case, and they're committed to keeping things challenging."

wat wat wat

 

[Cyberia]

Nioh feels like a genuine step forward for Team Ninja - and in a way, the game that Ninja Gaiden 3 should have been. The combat really hits the heights once you get an idea of what’s going on, and the menagerie of beasties here showcases a wonderfully macabre imagination. Don’t take the Souls comparisons too literally. Nioh does what every game should do, which is look at Fromsoft’s brilliant works, take inspiration from them, and build something new. There may be a lot going on here, but this is fundamentally classic Team Ninja - which is to say, it’s a game all about kicking ass, and loving it.

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

any word on special editions? steelbook case, CE, etc? this game is ripe for special editions imo.

Since I dropped my Switch Preorder I am getting KH 2.8, Yakuza 0 (First Yakuza game), Nioh(!!!!), Horizon, Nier, Mass Effect, KH 1.5 + 2.5, and Persona 5 (Most anticipated). Good first 4 months for RPGs, japanese ones in particular.

my man, enjoy.

 

[Sagitario]

If you’re not a fan of brutally difficult games, Team Ninja won’t show you any sympathy.

Is there a dog mode [or alike] in this game? My skills aren't great but I still would like to play it someday.

 

[stn]

Not sure whether I'll get it immediately due to backlog, but I definitely intend on buying this game at some point!

The 4k mode is not running 60FPS right? If so it doesn't look too bad. Might consider going 1080p 30 with bells and whistles.

 

[Poster#1]

Is this coming to PC?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

There should be a new thread for the previews.

Is this coming to PC?

Probably not, nothing announced and everything points to full exclusive.

Is this coming to PC?

No

That sounds fantastic actually!

 

[fluffydelusions]

Is this coming to PC?

Published by Sony so unlikely

 

[bigboss370]

I'm gonna be pissed if there's a physical CE for this lol.

Already ordered digital deluxe and we're less than a month out.

[Salty Rice]

Only 3 weeks until another GotY contender with Geralt.

This, Horizon, Nier and Zelda in such a short time. Cant wait.

 

[Mentosrock]

This game is going to be hard as hell, it's gonna have cheap ass Alma-like one shot extravaganzas. It's gonna give me heart palpitations. But I just pre-ordered it. I had no choice.. Ninja Gaiden + Dark Souls is a mix, in my heart of hearts, I know I can't avoid.

I really need to Git Gud.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Only 3 weeks until another GotY contender with Geralt.

And this time, his fights might actually be fun!

 

[Logash]

Nope.

Ah they got a 4k 60? Looks like I'm going 1080p 60 then. Should still look better than 4k 60 though. Thanks.

 

[Rakuyo]

Can't wait!!! Already took 2 days off for it

 

[Guymelef]

Ah they got a 4k 60? Looks like I'm going 1080p 60 then. Should still look better than 4k 60 though. Thanks.

Nah, it's 1080p60 on 4K TVs, they shouls chose better the descriptions.

 

[tskeeve]

So excited for this. There are just too many games right now, though, wondering how I can squeeze in TLG, Gravity Rush 2, Nier Automata, and RE7 too. Oh, to be a teenager again...

 

[taco543]

Even though I have a 4k TV other than trying it in movie mode once to see just how good it looks, I'm just going to leave it in action mode to keep that steady 60fps

All of that sounds amazing!

Season pass info http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2017/01/16/nioh-gone-gold/

...Sounds like they're going to give you plenty of opportunities to face off with Sanada Yukimura and Date Masamune.

I LIKE IT~!

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

9th in the US? Thought it was the 7th. Either way, can't wait.

 

[crimilde]

It is the 7th. 8th is EU and 9th is Japan.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

Wow, only 2 weeks after RE7 and Yakuza 0. Insane early quarter.

 

[Phil Fish]

Plz be good

It looks like Dark Souls, except without the shit combat from Dark Souls. I think it might be good.

 

[Augemitbutter]

this will be good.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

It is the 7th. 8th is EU and 9th is Japan.

Great. Thx.

 

[Kaako]

Missed this thread, I'm beyond fucking hyped. I can barely contain it.
Already got that Digital Deluxe pre-ordered as well. NiohGAF let's goooooooo!!!

 

[pretty done]

Something tells me you're not gonna like this game.

 

[Timu]

This game comes out on my birthday...yes!!!

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Are the reviews/previews out? We should make a new thread to collect them.

 

[ChamplooJones]

Definitely getting this at launch!

 

[Xliskin]

Someone please tell me, will this be the Ninja Gaiden/Souls mash-up my feeble little brain has dreamt of?

NGB is god tier game for me and Souls goes without saying. I want this beebee.

I'm happy to tell you that this game in fact Ninja Gaiden took some elements form Souls with Onimusha settings

 

[Freezasaurus]

I was going to pass because I didn't like the second demo as much as the first. AI felt cheaper to me in the second for some reason. But I don't know, I think I need this.

 

[ps3ud0]

Damn should I buy a PS4 Pro for this...

[DigSCCP]

And this time, his fights might actually be fun!

LMAO

 

[texhnolyze]

Need 1 more demo, seriously.

Onegaaaaaii..!!

 

[callmeCata]

Lul, prepare to be surprised

 

[eyeball_kid]

http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2017/01/16/niohs-not-a-souls-like-but-it-might-be-brilliant

I think this is worth underscoring. I see lots of people saying, "Oh it's a Souls clone", but there seems to be just as much Ninja Gaiden DNA in there as there is the Soulsbourne games. It's not plodding combat. Then add in a Diablo-esque loot system and...gimme gimme.

 

[SprachBrooks]

We already came up with one in the alpha thread Ni-Oh |OT| Ni-OhGAF Praises the Rising Sun

Damn, if this happens it'll be one of the lamest thread title for a game.

 

[SprachBrooks]

Damn should I buy a PS4 Pro for this...

Why do you sign your posts? Seems so redundant, considering we knows it's you that posted.
