That's enough for me, cool. Thanks.
I'd say NG3RE is a very fun game. Flawed in many aspects as a holdover from its source material by default, but far from a mess. NG3 itself is by definition a mess. People underestimate just how much was changed and reworked in NG3RE, it might as well be a different game entirely

This is what I need. Hopefully they cover pro vs base.

Funny pic as thats exactly how I am funding for Nioh. Gotta add those psn cards for my American account so I can buy it.
Going for Deluxe (which is something I never do) as I know I want all the DLCs that will come.
All this talk comparing Platinum and Team Ninja, and I'm still hyped out the wazoo for both games.
Maybe...Team Ninja and Platinum should codevelop a game. Would definitely end up completely insane in the plot department.
On the topic of Nioh, is there a rarity level above purple? Curious to know is how much strict loot grinding we will get (as a plus).

Digital Foundry has a new technical analysis up for the game.
I think it's too early to call it to be honest.

Are there any physical copies in Europe that at least come with the Nioh armour? There is in North America.

Yeah, the demos were crazy good. Not sure why you'd care about scores then.

Doubtful seeing it's published by Sony
You should def check out Bayonetta(on 360) and Nier Automata at some point. I actually find them much better than something like MGR
Jesus, John really likes this game and it plays and performs very well too. Great to see
People should really stop saying this combines elements from Ninja Gaiden.
I'm sure if it wasn't from Team Ninja, they wouldn't even bring it up.

Not to bring any hopes up, but Nintendo published Ninja Gaiden 3: Razors edge for the wii U then came out on the 360/PS4 a year later.

I am basically going to go into this game blind. I haven't watched much footage or played the Beta.
I'm very excited for Samurai Dark Souls.

Personally, I prefer the Ninja Gaiden Style of action over Platinum's games overall (aside for W101). It's because I like that Ninja Gaiden is more about Survival (which appeals to the Arcade enthusiast more than platinum's modern interpretation) and the game accommodates this with extremely varied encounters with complex enemies that test survival over a couple of difficult encounters. There's also a very nice commitment to avoiding unneeded button prompts in most NG games which helps keep me in the action. While Platinum has a couple issues with showing button prompts when its unnecessary. (I excuse Vanquish though because the action button is dedicated to multiple contextual actions that are level design oriented).

Yeah, I had a good feeling I'd want to play this so I didn't play any of the demos.
Give it to me!

It's hard to tell. There are arguments for and against the likely hood of it coming out on other platform(s). If only Sony put a bit more effort into their labels. Nioh doesn't carry an "Only on" or "Console Exclusive" label yet is published by Sony.
Basically, if it happens, it happens. But it hasn't happened yet.

This is what I'm wondering. Don't won't to go digital as pricing is a rip-off.
£54.99 PSN vs £42.00 on Amazon.

Weird, ordered it from them for £40
This is a beautiful thing.

I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
Playstation.com(US) said it's "Only on"
Its Asia&Europe Version seems get the "Only on" label. The same thing happened with Yakuza0 but Altus clarify it
Most places are plus 40 quid right now. Shits nuts.
What kind of reasoning is that? Usually there should be a reason behind the comparisons we make, no?
Gameplay wise i see little to nothing of Ninja Gaiden in this.
No jump, no charged UT, dodging is different, the whole dynamic of facing enemies and the pace of encounters is different, etc etc.
It's faster than Dark Souls, but not to the point where a comparison with NG makes sense more than a comparison with DMC or any other action game.
I guess Parries are kind of similar, but even those work somewhat differently, in terms of timing.

Anyway, aside from that nitpick, it's a real good video, John.
A bit disappointed that the Pro version doesn't keep the 1080p all the time, but as you mentioned, better to drop resolution than frames.

It's a more traditionally told story although I think the general sentiment was it's kind of meh. Not terrible or anything but also not a strong point.
But its true. the pace is the combat is distinctly ninja gaiden, the depth of the mechanics are directly from NG. That is without going into the actual ninja skill tree where you can throw shurikens and other projectiles just like NG

So similar quality to Souls but told differently. I'll read some reviews soon to see.

Man do I want to go for the up to 4k resolution or 60 fps. Right now I'm leaning towards 60 fps, it just looks very good at that higher frame rate
First run: 60fps Action mode
Second run: 4K Movie mode
I'd recommend that silky smooth 60fps on Pro for the initial run cause it feels sooo much better to play.
