Tech2 : Ninja Blade Hands On

The article gives a preview of the upcoming ninja game Ninja Blade for Xbox 360.

Quote

"I liked Ninja Blade, it did have a few inspired aspects, but then so does Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (which we all know is a brilliant game). I am looking forward to Ninja Blade; it looks nice, plays smooth and offers a really stable camera while in combat. But then again, no assumption till the full game is out."

Hands on impressions of games are some of my favorite articles.

They are also probably some of the most sensible articles that pop up on N4G.

looking forward to this :)the jap demo on the market place was awesome and felt like a combo of ninja gaiden and Devil may cry..just might have to pick up the jappense version :)

Karum6243d ago

This game could convince me to buy a 360, I was watching the gameplay videos on gametrailers last week and it looked really good, I loved Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PS3 and some more action games are always welcome, even if I have to own more than one console.

If they offered a bundle with the console and game I'd probably be sold, doubt MS will offer it but maybe one of the retailers here will do it.

If you loved Sigma, you should love NG2. Get the 360 for NG2. My personal pick as game of the year 2008!

I'm looking forward to this game, but so far all I have seen his quick time events. I don't want just cinematics, show us some real gameplay!

This game has me and my bro thinking of buying an XB360, but we'll wait and see, play it first before making any risky decision (RROD).

I don't want end up like with the first XB, that we just bough the first Halo and rest wasn't as interesting as Halo, not even Halo2.

I have a feeling that if NinjaBlade turns out to be good, it could be the XB360's mini-Kratos. I really hope is good even thou the developers already stated that the game wasn't going to be challenging nor hard. But fun and entertaining, it might be.

wow, i really like this game, it's so great to wait!!! woohooo

Sekiro Is Not From Software’s Best Ninja Video Game

Ninja Blade is From Software’s best ninja game of all time, including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. At least it’s the best version of a specific type of ninja game.

Well aren't you cool? Taking a game that was pretty much universally acclaimed and then saying that one that received mediocre to bad reviews across the board is better... There's always one "hipster" out there with a contrarian opinion.

I don’t remember much of it but wasn’t it a QTE heavy game like Asura’s Wrath and GOW3?

NecrumOddBoy2514d ago (Edited 2514d ago )

It was like the Xbox Ninja Gaiden with an insane amount of QTEs. Not bad but not innovative.

SamPao2514d ago

Asura's Wrath and GOW3s QTE usage are planets apart though :D

Youngindy212513d ago

Both of those games were good so....

The Adventures of Cookie and Cream (Or Kuri Kuri Mix as is known in PAL territories) is actually a pretty good game, and gets damn hard in the latter stages.

I'd love to see FromSoft make King's Field 5, or maybe another Armoured Core. I love the Souls games, but I don't want to see it milked for all its worth.

Duke193605d ago

Didn't they also make the 3D Dot Game Heroes (or something like that).

I actually enjoyed that a lot on PS3

eyoung253605d ago

They actually only handled publishing in Japan. It was developed by Silicon Studio.

eyoung253605d ago

I wanted to keep the entries to their own respective genres. Chromehounds and Armored Core are both mecha. I almost included it though.

DarXyde3605d ago

I came here to learn something new and left disappointed.

DarXyde3605d ago

...I'm saying I knew FromSoft had a hand in all of these games. I would know, I own/ed most of them.

WhyWai883605d ago

Armored Core series producer left From Software.
My guess is the company shifted all focus to Souls series... :(
RIP Armored Core....

eyoung253605d ago

I would love to see them come out with a new IP in the mecha genre. Armored Core was cool, but I think they have expanded their skills to make a more unique game.
