Think what he was saying what you were saying sounds retarded. No?

Exact quote regarding loot from ign in June


Fans of the Three Kingdoms period are going to want certain weapons for different warlords, and that's definitely something we want to deliver on. But when compared to Nioh, you won't have to constantly upgrade your weapon or armor, and it's not like each enemy will drop an item. It's not the main focus of Wo Long's game design, as we wanted the player to be able to focus on the action more easily. That being said, we do still have a large variety of weapons to choose from," Yasuda said.

Nice, must have missed it back in June.
Would be nice to see a system where enemies drop some item or currency that allows you to upgrade your weapons in different ways. So you still get that build variety but without the RNG crap and constant loot drops.

Everything can't possibly release in 2023. If these games don't get delayed 2023 will be a packed year.

Well you have to take into account that while most of the stuff delayed from 2022 will be releasing in 2023, a lot of stuff originally announced for 2023 will get pushed to 2024.
We've been doing this "next year will be the best ever!!!" thing for a long time now.

What I said sounds slow?

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

Almost forgot about this game! Looks sick and I'm glad TeamNinja have gotten better since the dumpster fire that was NG3.

 

[anthony2690]

I hate to do "that" post, but Gamepass is going to have a great 2023 lol.

2023 game pass titles:

Redfall
Starfield
Tokyo Ghostwire

Curious Case of Benedict fox
Ark 2
Hollow Knight: Silksong

You're not kidding, I'm sure there is loads missing, but these are the ones I can think off at the top of my head.

 

[Fools idol]

Ban this filth.

it was a joke

This looks amazing, very well done. I hope it has a lot of meat on its bones to last a while. Plus over 10 weapon types will be a blast to try out and learn. Having a more traditional find or buy loot system was always one of my wants for Nioh instead of the Diablo style, I'm hoping for fewer but more meaningful discoveries. The Morale system is intriguing and the Divine Beasts sound like familiars we'd get in Nioh. Super glad Character Creation is in. I hope it sticks its early 2023 landing.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

FYI don't skip Stranger in Paradise. After you get past the memes its a damn fine action game. Nioh + 30 classes + Final Fantasy magic systems.

100% this!! Stranger was criminally shat upon. The only game I put more hours into this year has been MH:Rise. Stranger has such a great loot loop as well.

 

[kiphalfton]

Return to form for Team Ninja. About time.

Seems a lot faster paced and kind of reminds me of kingdom hearts.

 

[Punished Miku]

it was a joke

I was joking too, no hard feelings

 

[GymWolf]

Ninja Gaiden is goat. Worth an xbox at the time. Awesome sauce.

I still remember the first trailer and pics and my jaw falling down, for the times the graphic was crazy good. (or at least the human\creature models)

 

[pasterpl]

Is this gamepass day one?

 

[Punished Miku]

Is this gamepass day one?

They closed E3 with that announcement. I guess people are just now getting it

 

[Mess]

This looks fantastic, hoping for chinese VA

 

[Aion002]

Sooo... Sekiro rip off? basically?

I jest. But come on.

 

[Alexios]

Some may be disappointed it isn't Nioh 3 but not me, it seems maybe closer to something like Ninja Gaiden. Shorter, sweeter and replayable with excellent battles, not the tons of loot, stats and stuff in Nioh (plus the hardly compelling level/world design that couldn't support prolonged gameplay).

I'm happy that is not nioh 3, great saga don't get me wrong, but it never breached my heart for some reasons.

 

[BennyBlanco]

looks fucking awesome

i hope it has build variety like nioh

 

[The artful mincer]

One thing I hope they do is make all abilities and weapons available in a reasonable amount of time.

I don't want to grind 500 plus hours to unlock everything I.e nioh 2. I don't want to be locked into a certain weapon because of lack of upgrade materials. I.e. souls games

Everything should be available in 2 or 3 playthroughs

 

[Fools idol]

It literally says 'I jest' in the post.

 

[Aion002]

It literally says 'I jest' in the post.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Can't wait to play this with gamepass

 

[sachos]

Hell yeah, this looks sick! Not only the gameplay but environments and graphics too.

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

It literally says 'I jest' in the post.

You follow up "I jest" with "But come on," implying that it's not really meant to be a joke.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Looks dope as fuck, loved the Nioh games, got the plat for Nioh 2, I'm there day 1 for anything Team Ninja.

 

[GymWolf]

Can't wait to play this with gamepass

Did they hacked your account?

 

[saintjules]

He's purposefully moving around in flowing circular motions like kung fu.

They're going to probably also have hard metal stances and way more weapon variety.

There has to be some sort of button command there that makes it look like a QTE there.

You're not kidding, I'm sure there is loads missing, but these are the ones I can think off at the top of my head.

And that's just what we know right now.

Most likely some other first party releases in H2 2023. Plus the Activision games when the deal goes through

The enemy glows red and charges, I'm assuming it's just a counter/parry animation for lunging or charging attacks. Probably like the Mikiri counter in Sekiro. Looks cool, whatever it is

 

[Soulja]

The gameplay looks amazing... The voice acting is almost on par with a Jill sandwich.

 

[Kusarigama]

Truely delighted with Team Ninja. Even with all the impact from covid, Team Ninja is ready with another game after Nioh 2. Hyper focused on delivering great action gameplay and pretty good graphics.

 

[Amiga]

Nioh and Ninja Gaiden had baby.

Team Ninja must be kicking themselves for giving this away to GP after the 16m sales of Elden Ring. unless MS paid them 50 million for it.

Yeah the market is definitely right to release difficulty games.

God hand and ninja gaiden released about 5 years too early ☹

 

[Hayabusabruh]

probably just a parry into a Mikir counter prompted by that red glow on the enemy. Sekiro and Thymesia have it.

 

[Hohenheim]

And yeah, there are more missing

This is insane. At least 10 day one games for me here.

 

[iHaunter]

Looks mediocre and outdated.

 

[HYDE]

There isn't a game I'm more excited about! This is an amazing game.

 

[Y0ssarian]

Can't wait for the threads from people who get filtered by the game

 

[Hot5pur]

Looks very good. I wonder if they are just afraid to touch Ninja Gaiden again?
It's mind blowing how far ahead of its time NG was. Many modern games with hack and slash focus still don't come close. This is welcome in the meantime but I really want to see the return of the NG series (kinda like DMC5 did knocking it out of the park ).

 

[DavidGzz]

This looks better than I thought it would! I love the dodge! Something unique.

 

[DragoonWalker]

Fingers crossed this plays more like Ninja Gaiden and less like Souls.

 

[RoadHazard]

So this is their Sekiro?

 

[Thief1987]

So this is their Sekiro?

Unlikely. It doesn't look like a shitty rhythm game

 

[The artful mincer]

Looks mediocre and outdated.

What game do you consider good and modern?

 

[ToTTenTranz]

Looks better than Nioh, but it's still very clearly a cross-gen game.

 

[Caio]

Ok I'm hyped.

This.

 

[Ozriel]

Looks better than Nioh, but it's still very clearly a cross-gen game.

Less to do with it being cross gen and more a function of budget and time.

 

[iHaunter]

What game do you consider good and modern?

From XSX side, I would say Atomic Heart looks really amazing. In fact, I would say Team Ninja's older stuff, like Ninja Gaiden which was graphically impressive, looked more interesting.

Obviously graphics aren't the most important thing. I'll have to see how the game actually looks being played. So far it looks early last gen.

Oh your talking about graphic fair enough.
