[Elios83]

Wow so excited for this and it's releasing really soon Looks like a more story focused Nioh.

Q1 seems super stacked with TLOU2 Remaster, Yakuza Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Remake, FF7 Rebirth, GrandBlue Fantasy Relink, Rise of Ronin, Dragon's Dogma 2.
Sony alone will be releasing/publishing a big game each month until April.

Facts.


Wallet about to be ASSAULTED! lol

I'm buying everything you listed lol

 

[rhodesianshepard]

I'm currently getting my ass kicked in Nioh 1 for the first time, but holy shit the gameplay is addicting. I think I enjoy it more than any Dark Souls, at least from a combat perspective. Hopefully Rise of the Ronin can be like a mini Elden Ring for Team Ninja. They deserve more acknowledgement

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Why the fuck are all of them releasing in the same Feb to March window? Wtf? Let me rest.

I think that the fiscal year for a ton of Japanese publishers ends on March 31st.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Nioh witout Yokais

 

[Skifi28]

Day one for me.

 

[tomato shrub]

Nope. Just a Koei game... They never look next gen, but they're always fun to play.

eh... only since last gen. Ninja Gaiden (NES and Xbox) and Dead or Alive were technical showpieces back in the day.

 

[Unknown?]

Oof. Bad timing.

For Dogma, this was the star of the show.

Well seriously it's bad for both, they should have time to breathe.

 

[Aion002]

eh... only since last gen. Ninja Gaiden (NES and Xbox) and Dead or Alive were technical showpieces back in the day.

Those were Tecmo games.

Koei bought Tecmo in 2008. Dead or Alive is probably the only series that continued to have good graphics after it. Even Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012) had some downgrades compare to 2 (2008) in the animations and stuff.

I like Koei games a lot, but it is what it is, their games always lack on the graphics department.

 

[Ansphn]

Day 1

 

[RoboFu]

Hell yeah, Team Ninja is always the king when it comes to combat.

I beg to differ.. I thought both niho games played pretty badly.
Oh yeah strangers of paradise as well.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Coop or I'll wait for a sale.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Graphics looks bad

Looks like it was meant to be a PS4 game initially. The game is coming out in 3 months and Sony has given it less hype than Sifu. Definitely a head-scratcher given they didn't publish many games in 2023. Team Ninja has really fallen off. You can tell with Stranger of Paradise.

Not expecting this to be very good, which is probably why Sony is largely sweeping it under the rug. That's what they do with games they publish for other studios but they're not very good. Look at Firewalk Ultra.

Definitely looks like filler, but I think that is also really troubling as it probably means we're not getting any other games for Q1 from Sony.

Last of Us Remastered
MLB The Show 24
Rise of the Ronin
Horizon Forbidden West Complete PC

Hopefully, we'll get some more exposure at GDC.

 

[mckmas8808]

“Ps5 has no games announced”

*free dlc in 5 days, rise of the ronin coming in march, following tlou2 remastered, helldivers 2, FFVII Rebirth*

It's INSANE!!!! I hate Jim Ryan to death. I HATE HIM! But he's managed to do a great job having a bunch of games and hardware releases lined up for PS5's entire generation.

He knows how to run a video game company.

It's waaaay too early to say the bolded. I'm expecting it to score around what Nioh 1 and 2 did. Nioh 1 scored an 89 and Nioh 2 an 85. So anything below an 80 would be SHOCKING to me.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looks good but dang........Team Ninja needs a new engine.

There's also Helldivers 2 in Feb. There'll be plenty of games to play for PS5 owners in Q1.

 

[flying_sq]

Hope this comes out on PC, I thought it was a new way of the samurai game at first

 

[FrankWza]

I beg to differ.. I thought both niho games played pretty badly.

Team Ninja has really fallen off

Not expecting this to be very good

 

[Clear]

Wo Long was solid, and wobbly frame-rate on Series S aside isn't at all bad looking.

Every TN game since Nioh I have played to death; because the combat is always fun and engaging. So I'm in day #1.

 

[NeroDaGod]

The DLC seems to suggest certain weapons will have its own style/moveset and I’m very much looking forward to how that plays out.

 

[Fbh]

Man that release date sucks.
The game Looks great but if I have to choose between this and DD2 I'll probably go with Dragons Dogma (unless it's like a broken mess or something at launch)

Why ignore Stranger of Paradise?

 

[Hustler]

Any word on if there will be co op?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Graphics looks bad

I thought so as well

 

[mckmas8808]

Why ignore Stranger of Paradise?

Because that looks like they were trying something different and it didn't work out. This looks more up their alley.

 

[Masterofchapter]

I thought so as well

Looks like Assassin's creed 3 to be honest

 

[adamsapple]

Because that looks like they were trying something different and it didn't work out. This looks more up their alley.

Speak for yourself my guy, I thought it worked out wonderfully.

It's the most memorable FF game in a long while. For better or worse

 

[Murdok]

Interestingly, there is no exclusivity announcement, I have no doubt that in 6 months they will already be talking about the PC version, and who knows for another platform

 

[Represent.]

inexcusably bad looking graphics.

 

[tmlDan]

Why the fuck are all of them releasing in the same Feb to March window? Wtf? Let me rest.

The cursed fiscal urgency lol

It has to come before April to be included in reports $$$$

 

[nial]

Why ignore Stranger of Paradise?

Because Rise of the Ronin is the next game from director Fumihiko Yasuda, who previously worked on Nioh 1 and 2, so it's pretty safe to assume there are different development groups inside of Team Ninja.

Interestingly, there is no exclusivity announcement, I have no doubt that in 6 months they will already be talking about the PC version, and who knows for another platform

I am not so sure about that.

Also, if it's coming to PC, it's by SIE themselves.

 

[mckmas8808]

You serious? Because we know how you get down on GAF.

The cursed fiscal urgency lol

It's the one bad thing. But March 22nd is actually a good date for this game. Better than another February game.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Looks like Assassin's creed 3 to be honest

I might be a little harsh but the gameplay looked like a good PS3 game at times even in the 4k video

Honestly after playing and loving Ghost of Tsushima this game just doesn't do much for me

 

[adamsapple]

You serious? Because we know how you get down on GAF.

 

[Roman Empire]

It is dead on arrival for me. Why did they decide to release this the same day as Dragon's Dogma 2? This went from a must-play to an easy skip until I'm finished with DD2.

 

[Thief1987]

Interestingly, there is no exclusivity announcement, I have no doubt that in 6 months they will already be talking about the PC version, and who knows for another platform

Most likely the same deal as with Nioh. Will be on PC after some time, but not on other platforms.

 

[mckmas8808]

Just surprised you like that Stranger in Paradise game.

 

[The artful mincer]

The character switching looks sick.

After FFVII Remake more game needs to so this. I'am tired of just controlling 1 character!

 

[kyussman]

Tell me this game is more standard action adventure than Nioh/Souls like challenging gameplay.

 

[Ansphn]

Coop or I'll wait for a sale.

I hope so. More games should be Co-op.

 

[GutsOfThor]

Is it another shitty souls game or is it an actual action hack and slash?

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Team Ninja were bad enough with repetitive level design and copy/paste content in Nioh, can't imagine how an open world by them will look.

 

[bender]

CHAOS

 

[StereoVsn]

Nope. Just a Koei game... They never look next gen, but they're always fun to play.

Anyway... FFVII Rebirth, Dragons Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin...

Yeah, it will take me all year to go through these, lol. FFVIIR2 takes priority.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Looks like a PS4 game.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Looks like a PS4 game.

is that really a bad thing ?

 

[balls of snow]

First time this team made an open world right. Dragons Dogma 2 looks damn good though. And I can only handle 1 japanese game at a time.

 

[ungalo]

Less hyped than for the first trailer clearly. It's really not beautiful.

Day one though.

 

[Thirty7ven]

is that really a bad thing ?

Well it’s not great right? This isn’t an indie project, it’s a PlayStation production with a big name studio in Team Ninja. It’s AAA, it’s full price. So in 2024, >3y into the generation… I would expect more yes.
