we've all seen the canon in the videos of the comming ninja gaiden games , so it's going to happen to you ! would like using fire arms or prefere to stick with shurikens and arrows ?

Question:
Do you support having ryu using firearms ?

Choices:
Yes during gameplay and scene's.
yes but only in some scene.
I would like to use , but wouldn't like seeing it .
No , not anyhow ,it kills the ninja spirit.
I don't care .

 

don't care!
It doesn't ruin the Ninja spirit because Ryu already used non ninja weapons in Sigma1 and NG2.

Actually in the XboX.com forums, we were adding ideas for what we want in NG2 download content.

Some of us posted collab weapons from Halo 3 such as the Energy Sword, others wanted a Hammer.
And the most unfortunate thing I heard was one of the users wanting a rocket launcher! I never imagined how it would work.


And there you have it now, Ryu using a rocket launcher.


Everything Hayashi introduces about this game is always good news for me and I'm always excited!

It would be a definite edition if they added everything from Sigma+Dragon Sword. Because if the demon statue could bring Marbus alive, it should also bring back Doku and Alma. We want them back, they don't even have to be incorporated into the storyline, it would be cool in Mission mode/Team Mission.

I dont know about NG2 but in sigma as I recall it was only the spear gun but it felt natural since ryu played under water and had fish as enemies .so I said ok.and comon if team ninja answered to every players imagination we'd end up without ryu in the game and maybe it will become a stratigy game instead.
sure the game is cool and a piece of art as it seems, and no one can say otherwise ,but we'r screwing around untill it's released .
by the way I noticed in a video that we'll be able to use essence orbs to execute ultimate attaks while in mid air . did NG2 have that feature ?
here's the link to the video mid air UT

UT in mid air is only for Momiji.

Tell me if using the Gatling Gun in NG2 was natural. Because it wasn't.

Seriously, I have no beef with what ever Team NINJA comes up with this game. I'm always happy they come up with an idea!
Using a rocket launcher maximises the experience for this game yet again.

I mean you have 10 weapons, why not add a Rocket Launcher to make 11? People just complain too much that's the problem.

I just wonder what idea will be included in NG3, since Hayashi is going all out with Sigma 2 O_o

seriously people, you dont need to complain about EVERY little detail.. so what if a ninja uses a huge musket? he also uses an enormous sword and that also doesnt seem much like a ninja weapon. how do you expect them to make the game better without adding more features?

xino do you really think there's going to be NG3 .
I'm not saying there shouldn't or anything, infact I wish for it .but it seems they wont make one , at least if there is it will be without ryu as the main character .

Hayashi confirmed it. They will make a Ninja Gaiden 3. Plus it wouldn't be Ninja Gaiden 3, then few years later Ninja Gaiden Sigma 3.
Or Ninja Gaiden 3 bugs and later Ninja Gaiden Sigma 3 extra contents.


I don't know what the title will be called, but I'm 100% sure the names will stay intact, Ninja Gaiden 3 for Xbox 360 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 3 for PS3. They will both be released same time.



The thing is, we don't even know when they will start working on it. I mean DOA5 needs to be made and don't forget DOA Code Cronus (the most important one). I mean, they'll just finish making a Ninja Gaiden game this 2009, they can't start on NG3 right away and forget DOA.

What game do you think they'll develop after Sigma 2?

Hi xino ! congrats on the ps3.
you asked what I think the next game will be . Well I dont think ,but I hope they will make aninja game ( or at least an action adventure game) with all the experience they hade wth sigma making it feel familiar to the player but they should include some cool story for it Ithe game doesn't have to be named a new name or any thing , but some fresh stuff or a fresh series would be cool ! as long as they don't make it any less than NG . what about you Xino , what is it you hope for ?

well to me, anything they come up with is really fine by me!

People kept saying Ninja Gaiden 1/Black/Sigma had no storyline. But what is a storyline? what is a plot? Is a cutscene a story?
Basically, we know the plot of the game (plot is also a story): Ryu's clan were massacre, Ryu goes on a journey to retrieve the Dark Dragon blade that was stolen and to get revenge. That's the story!
The cutscenes are just there to coherent the gameplay even though they don't expand the storyline. The FMV's/CG's are the ones that expanded the story such as introducing a character Rachel, Ayane's mission and the Dark Disciple.



Yes I to do want a Action Adventure game. Sigma felt like a plan action game since they took off the puzzles and less platforming, those things made the game an Action Adventure. That was how the old NG were.

A fresh series would be good, but it'll get too confusing. I mean NG is set before the classic old NG series and before Dead Or Alive. If they make a fresh story, it wouldn't make sense.

Yes there is a plot , but a very simple one that never gives the player any surprises , sudden change i course of actions, a special moment or at least a motive to see the end of the game. in ninja gaiden you play so you can achieve a highscore beat a difficulty , kill your enimies . it's cool and all but realy games like prince of persia , legacy of kain , and too many others had players only for its story ! so why cant we play a game that plays like ninja gaiden but yet have some cool buzzeling motivating deverse storyline so we can have twice the fun ? wouldn't it be cool ?

Seriously I don't know.
But I do know that a revolutionary game takes longer to make! (Half Life 2, Ninja Gaiden, Soul Calibur).

I heard Ninja Gaiden started out on PS2. During long time development it moved on to Xbox. I mean you can tell how much time Team NINJA put into making NG. Basically they took all their time to focus on Gameplay more than Story.
That is why NG gets a 9/10 from nearly every site.
If they had focused more on Story than Gameplay, what do you think the score might be? 9/10 or 8/10. Because the gameplay wouldn't be as polished as Ninja Gaiden.


I'll take Gameplay>Story, because if the gameplay is that good, you'll still go back to the single player and replay it.


Though if they are to make a new NG with a good story and good gameplay, it would certainly take a long time to develop.

But it's through, Team NINJA do need to find a good writer for a story. I mean the stories for DOA were good, crap and confusing. DOA 4 was the worst. Then you have NG which had a decent story but wasn't strong and take the NG2 story that doesn't even make sense!

of course I would never like to make NG's gameplay lose some of its glamor just for a story to be included . but cut me some slack here , after i finished sigma for the first time whenever a cut scene comes up I feel annoyed and some times irretated . I mean if the story is crap and the game is all gameplay c, then cut scenes and videos aren't needed . just play the game blindly and have simple pointless fun.

I know exactly how you feel there, that is why I skip cutscenes and just continue with the story gameplay.

by the way xino and all NG sigma players ! I need help.
I ended up fight fiend murai in the hard difficulty , but with no items at all, my save files are all erased . I don't want to replay the difficulty from chapter one .... but realy want to beat it and replay it harder than before .I realy got close to beat him several times but it ends up badly ..... so help !!
is it special to end the normal mode of NGS in 2-3 days ?
how long did it you guys ?
and yes ...... my score is crapy and low:P

I'm playing Sigma now.
WTF!??? They messed up the Berserker's A.I!
So bloody DAMN easy to kill! >:@!


Anyway to your question:
Yes you can finish Normal mode in a short amount of time, if you don't waste time and speed run a lot.


As for Fiend Murai...lol seriously I'm not even good at killing him.
A lot of glitches from Black, Team NINJA fixed in this version.

You'll have to roll a lot and use a lot of flying swallow.

I've nearly finished the game in Very Hard so I'll come up with an easy way to kill him.

rolling and flying swallow aren't enough with no items at all it seems impossible ,but hell I realy can damage him seriously and nearly kill him. he gets on my nerves soo much , I'm beginning to loose weight !

Bracelet of Potency+Virgoian Flails
Use this move
Square+Trianlge+Triangle
Ryu does the slash plus uprising kick and falling kick.

When he does the spinning move, just roll away.
Stay close to him, and hold down Block.
He'll try and grab you, so roll away and perform the move I listed up.
Basically he'll repeat the same thing till he's health is in the middle.

When it gets to the middle, he'll summon the mini dark dragon. Just stand still and wait for it when it disappears out of sight. Just be ready to press Jump as soon as you see it on sight because it's fast.

This next part, Murai will start to use combo on you. Large Slash, back slash and Grab. Be aware of them!
