See they had good sense not to show any gameplay in that trailer.

Visuals make it unplayable for me. Complete laziness.

Damn, I didn't know it was the 22nd. Alone in the Dark releases 3/20.
2024 is no joke with games so far.

Its not just the shit graphics, the entire open world looks bland, lifeless and uninspired. There looks to be nothing engaging or immersive about it. It should be a linear game. Open worlds need to be immersive and inspired.Remember folks, the game can be one of the most fun games of all time, but if it doesn’t have top of the line graphics it isn’t worth playing.

Have a feeling this game ain't gonna be hot, it doesn't help that it looks janky as hell. Once DD2 comes out it would be forgotten and I'm not even trying to hate on the game.

Curious if Ronin is locked 60 at the expense of graphics. People seem to be changing their tune on DD2 unstable 30....dirty graphics whores 
Both look fun but I'm leaning towards Ronin. DD2 just seems to big for me to tackle as summer approaches. Might have to hold off until Winter 2024.

It's Team Ninja. For better or worse they have been doing the same game since Ni-oh: slashy-slashy combat (i.e. 0 weight for any weapon) and 3 frames per animation for any attack. People with nerves of steel or ADHD probably love these games hence why they sell, but for me it's a no-no. Now garnish this meal with these top of the line PS3 graphics and you can see why not many people are overly-excitedRemember folks, the game can be one of the most fun games of all time, but if it doesn’t have top of the line graphics it isn’t worth playing.

The gameplay looks awesome in the actual gameplay footage we've had though.

Don't know why people are complaining about graphics.
That trailed looked photo-realistic.

I'm not going to lie, this game looks like that long lost PS3 game we never got....remastered in 4K lol
I'll still get it as I keep a open mind about all things. I'm there for the story and gameplay and its ok if its doesn't look the most next gen or something.
Semi OT, remember when Ninja Gaiden released for the XB and it was like, next gen before next gen?
Who the fuck would have thought THAT was the best the team could do....thats it, that is the peak, everything after remains pretty much exactly like that with almost zero forward progression lol

are you talking about Ghost of Tsushima?

That would also describe that game, yes.
This looks like Ghosts with shittier graphics.

Kinda have to agree here. The open world is Tushima looked nice, but it was completely dead outside of missions. The best you could hope for was find the occasional bear or a Mongol patrol. In Ronin you can actually see some NPCs traveling and doing their thing, so it's probably going to be livelier and feel more immersive despite the worse visuals.

I can't wait to fight Commodore Matthew Perry, a historical figure who apparently spoke fluent Japanese and fought one-on-two using his sword and pistol in back-flips.
Just look at him. He doesn't seem like it, but he had incredible moves in combat.
No, seriously, I can't wait!

Some direct quotes:
"I dont want to write it off completely, but so far, this open world and its structures feel old... Like 1-2 generations old"
"We've all played a number of games that have done this stuff better, with more rewarding exploration, with richer narrative, with a more diverse suite of open world activities and with less repetition"
"The open world is very played out, and by the numbers"
"Think FarCry, Japan"
"Felt like I was playing Team Ninja's version of Ghosts of Tsuhima, rather than a unique game built from the ground up"
"It really is just a bunch of bandit camps waiting to be liberated" (the open world)
"Outside of clearing camps, the only other thiings I found in the open world were cats I could pet, and banners I could unlock" (fast travel markers)
... hype!

Some studios should just stick to linear games man. Open worlds are simply not for everyone, thats why there are so many generic ones out there.
This PS3 era open world open world just ruined what could have been a linear game with an engaging story and super tight combat.

Honestly, the graphics in of themselves look ok to me, but the animations seem behind the curve by a big margin. Rather disappointing IMO. But it does looks fun.

Remember when Tecmo made fun Ninja Gaiden games featuring badass Ryu Hayabusa and his team of busty kunoichis?

I member'. Ninja Gaiden on the OG Xbox was a stunning game for it's time. All that action and it looked great and played super well.Remember when Tecmo made fun Ninja Gaiden games featuring badass Ryu Hayabusa and his team of busty kunoichis?

Animations in combat look pretty good imo. Typical Team Ninja. They convey enemy attacks and patterns pretty well.
Maybe I am not looking where animations are not upto mark I dunno.

I’m playing the NG collection as of late and I shit you not NG1 on there still looks better than NG3.
Itigakis departure ruined them.

And Devil's Third is a superior game to NG3.
I couldn't believe how bad NG3 is. Legitimately shocking to me.

Since you played NG3, what’s so bad about it?
Maybe I didn’t pay enough attention on release what it did wrong but I’m playing NG3 in the collection and actually loving it.

What a terrible launch trailer, specially compared to Nioh 2 and Wo Long launch trailers:
It really shows the difference between games focused on gameplay and one focused on story.
I was going to buy day one, but with DD2 being released on the same day, plus I am not even near finishing FFVII Rebirth, I think I will wait for a sale.

Just thought it was a massive step back in terms of overall quality and gameplay. The environments looked goofy as hell to me, movement felt bad, combat felt bad.
Granted, I went in expecting a total gem because I had read somewhere that NG3 was pretty bad but the WiiU version was the definitive version that addressed all the issues. So I went into NG3 after thoroughly enjoying Devils Third and I was shocked at what I was playing. I only made it a few hours in before dropping it. Maybe my expectations were too high. I do plan on going back to it at some point though.

SkillUp's (way too long, as are all his videos) impressions didn't really change my thoughts on the game one way or the other. It was never a title I was super excited about. I'm interested in it, but not chomping at the bit for it. In general, I tire of open world games unless they do something fresh and it feels like this will be one that has good combat and gameplay, but the typical open world stuff. Not necessarily bad, but may not be a day one buy for me.
I'm still torn on if it'll be a day one buy for me. If Alone in the Dark turns out to be really good, I may buy that and put off Ronin for when it goes on sale.

so much of what's now going on has to do with staff changes/replacements. the studio's name remains the same, but the products become, well, 'inconsistent' in quality. much more so than the products of, say, a sausage company doing the same staff changes/replacements...
of course, it really doesn't help things when the studio's products actually begin to resemble, more'n'more, the sausage company products...

I'm hoping for a demo or time trial.
I wasn't really into Nioh or Wo Long, but this sounds more n00b friendly.
So this might be the Team Ninja game that wins me over.
