I think I have to wait for more footage before saying is more visceral, there was no limb removal in the footage, just some hardcore cutting of bodies.

I hope for the smae kind of limb removal than NG2 or more harcore and more gore.

Absolutely brilliant!!!

The only thing that keeps this thing away from a very good impression overall,
is a demo where we can see that the frenetic action isn´t gone, although we have this slowdown during cutting.

Goddamn it! Just watched the bit of gameplay footage, and there wasn't a single dismemberment/decapitation. Lots of blood, but a lot of obvious time where limbs/heads should have been cut off, and instead there was just blood spraying from enemies' midsections.

What the fuck did I just watch?

The game wasent even combo based anymore.
No limbs was flying (unless it was censored or something like NGS2 in demos)
QTE in NG? wtf!
Sneak sequence + wall climbing? The whole point of Ryu is that he is a super ninja, not ninja. Whatever a ninja does, he is suppose to exagerate it, that was what Itagaki said in NG1 interview.
Ultimate Technique is now one hit kill, chaining?
Sliding? really...sliding? The guy should dash with leaving smoke or do acrobatic manuevers.
No orbs?

The only good parts I saw was the bone crushing, was damn good.
Some of the OTs was nice too.
The sky leaps was cool, reminded me of DOA4 Ryu CGI ending.
So the bird now is your checkpoint/healing...its cool, I like that.
Game looks VERY visceral and brutal.

But seriously, QTE, no limbs flying, barely any combos (unless the sword was level 1 which it seems like it) and climbing, ultimate technique is chaining one hit kills? damn it Hayashi what the hell.
You are suppose to EVOLVE the NG2 combat, not down.

I was dissapointed overal from the demo they showed, had nice stuff in there but *sigh*

But as a fan, I will buy it regardless and hope there is more to it.

QTE sucks indeed!

But cmon, even Bayonetta has it during torture mode.
I dont mind if its same button mash to get something good out of it, but keepit VERY minimum to specifc moves, but do not add bullshit QTEs like God of War.

The more I see the videos the more I am thinking I will be fine with it in the end.
As I stated in chatbox, I am a very hyper and agressive guy in NG games, dont have alot of patience to combo enemies.

Want to quickly do some heavy attacks and go in for the vital organs of my enemies and kill them off, and that IMO is I think how Hayashi thought of it, so the more I see the more I love it.

QTEs sucks ass though, but then again, LoS, GoW, Dantes Inferno, all of them had it so I dont mind, as long as it doesnt ruin the pace for me.
For example the SQUARE during OT is fine with me compared to the bullshit GoW pulls off were you have to press various buttons on same kill moves and its a trial and error.

Some of the OT animations Ryu did was badass.

I expected more, but then again, its not THAT bad as I first had the impression. Something will grow on me depending on my mood, and considering I expected more when I sawit so I was in rage mode, but now that I am calm I am trying to see what Hayashi is trying to do, guess I will be fine.

Though I hope that frentic hyper moves we saw in NG2 will be back and the Dragon Sword was level 1 here.

Wow, theyve finally done it, they completely ruined Ninja Gaiden. Its been coming tbh, NG has been getting progressively worse with each realease (excluding NG:Black which is by FAR the best btw). Never thought i'd say this about a Ninja Gaiden game but the combat in NG3 looks seriously repetitive and tiresome!

Unfortunetly yes.

The best combat system was Ninja Gaiden 2, but game sucked overal.

Best NG game is definitely NG Black, if only it had the combat system of NG2 it would be fantastic.

It feels like I have been stabbed in the heart Hayashi.

Sword focused? what?
As much as I love swords in my games its always nice to have other weapons too.

Japanese ninja? why is Hayashi such a stubborn idiot!
He is a SUPER ninja, has he never seen Naruto? Karas anime? sigh

@Jin

I wouldnt say ruined per-se. It still has "some" good stuff.
If you want to know a beloved series ruined you check DmC, that one is an overhaul shit compared to this one lol.

Tbh I am mixed about the game, sometimes I think it looks good when the weapon hits and Ryu kills them, but on the other hand it feels such a dissapointed that I dont want to have anything to do with this.

Ok for now... TN seems close to ruin this franchise. Enemies look incredibly stupid. gameplay looks repetitive as hell with this few moves that they showed. Where are all the awesome combos, and where is the stunning jump on the heads. There were some glimpse of a less "steel-on-bones" approach, where I could see some longer combos chained together. But if we have to cancel the "steel-on-bones" mechanic to get our beloved crazy fast and fluid combat, then I´m at a loss.

Well, let´s give them some time to show us more of the whole package. Ninpo, combos, platforming... bla,bla,bla... I guess I´m desperately trying to get some hope.

Ooooh TM. Did they really depend on Itagaki that much?

But dont forget my friend, for all we know, the demo could be level 1 Dragon Sword and the player sucked ass.
I saw some other moves in the offscreen than GT.

I dont know how the OT is activated, there was no decapitation to activate it.
I hope its not auto, that would piss me off.

Ryu, short hair, nice. And i like the outfit he has, good to see him in casual stance for once.

lol, this indeed does look strange. I don't mind allowing the players, through QTE, to do the kinds of awesome things that you normally expect to see Ninjas do -- the same kinds of crazy things that Ryu does in cinematics -- but the combat gameplay seemed pretty bad. Way too much QTE in killing normal enemies. I don't mind it showing up for some enemies. It looks to me like an attempt to give Ninja Gaiden a bit of a God of War vibe, but they are not finding the correct balance.

I just know one thing and why QTE is there.

Hayashi said some enemies will resist your sword attack to go throw their entire body, so when the SQUARE or TRIANGLE image shows up, it means you have to press it so Ryu can put more force behind the slash and go through their body.

Like I said, I rather have the same button QTE show sometimes and not like stupid God of War were its random buttons EVERY TIME and it goes through this dumb trial and error and you have to keep rins and reaeating until you get it right.

Have you ever played Ninja Blade. There's a bit when ryu (in one of these E3 vids) jumps down from a height to an enemy and you get a QTE is kill him. That is Ninja Blade. This game doesn't need bullshit like that. I got a feeling if Itagaki was around and Hayashi would get a bitch slap for even suggesting QTE's in a game like this lol.

This game is about skill, fluency and reflexes and 3 doesn't so far look like 1 or 2 in that regard. I hope I'm wrong, it's been a game I'm waiting for since I finished 2 when it came out.

Edit: that was for optimus and not you Sath

I have played Ninja Blade on PC, and I deleted it within 30 minutes.
Worse ripoff and most boring QTE-fested game ever.

I am hoping NG3 is less than that, but overal I HATE QTE with a passion, badly!

Yeah I had the pleasure of completing it on the 360 lol. If it didnt have the QTE's in it the game would of been ok at the best. But everytime I see it in NG3 it reminds my of that.
I keep watching the NG3 vids and I noticed the slide has no I-fames on it. The combat lacks fluidity and yeah where are my removal of limbs. The wall climbing looks clunky too. Give me my wall runs over some shite QTE wall climb.

Somehow it looks that it has a lot of bad things to downright awfull things incorporated that doesnt make sense at all.

He eliminated orb absortion UTs so that means goodbye to On Landing Uts.
