3 and accel are the best fighting games.
Accel 2 is fun, but ruined by the op nature of assists.
Accel 3 is just...bleh.

So ultimate ninja 3?
I've bought pretty much every other game in this series, and other Naruto fighting games besides, but I think I might skip this one until a sale.
Essentially, I've realized that what REALLY interests me is seeing all the super moves in action, and a YouTube video can serve the same function for me.
This is a solid game series(and a great one for fans), though.

Did ultimate ninja 5 even come to the states? I just see the pal version on amazon.
It did not

Ah, and as always, game is not even out and I already know everything about it (apart from story mode, but that barely counts).
I wish I had self control to avoid news and stuff, like I have with fallout and other big games. For some reason I can go into full black out for those and be borderline blind to the final product. But when it's fanservice stuff like this I end up following every single leak and reveal...

I sure hope they fixed the ridiculous load times from the PC/STEAM version of Revolution.
It was so bad I actually stopped playing the game for more than a year.
Storm 3 was fine. Loads were snappy and understandable, returning to Character Select from an Online Battle was maybe 5 or 6 seconds.
Storm Revolution, though... Sonic '06-style loading screens for loading screens. Sometimes there's a 15-20 second loading screen going back and forth between MENUS. Returning to the Character Select after an Online Battle is upwards of 30 seconds.
You can easily spend just as much time waiting for Revolution as you do getting to play it.
Also, those of you planning on trying to enjoy Online Matches, I recommend Single Battles.
Team Battles in the previous games were already a chaotic spammy nightmare festival, and now with Linked Awakenings, Leader Change and the removal of the Revolution "Battle Type" system I can only imagine it being worse.
Are you ready to face three different Uchihas, all in Soosano'o, at the same time?

Two problems with that
a) Ranked is only teams, so that would lock people to Player Matches only... Although considering that broken BP system from Revolution that actively rewards Rage Quitting, that may be a plus for some
b) It shuts down all those new features like Linked Awakenings and Leader Change. The latter has already been proven with Youtube videos, to have crazy potential and adds quite a bit of depth this game desperately needs.

DLC he is part of the first pack
Seems the game is being released earlier on Steam? (earlier than the date listed on the steam page, that is)

Watched some of the new ultimate jutsu's. CC2 have outdone themselves again.
Edit: Wow, I'll spoil tag this just in case

dying at the sexy reverse harem jutsu. Especially cool how it changes when used on Kaguya
Yes but just so you're and everyone else is aware, The Last stuff is early access. They can be unlocked without pre-ordering.

Have they updated any of the character's movesets from Storm 3? Is Jugo still in pyjamas?
Great OT btw.

You can unlock his akatsuki cloak, but his moveset is the same
I just found out that instead of animating the scenes between the fights in their own engine and presenting them in their own way, CC2 decided to use kinda animated stills from the god-ugly anime I was trying to avoid for this game?
Why? Seriously, what in the world? The story mode isn't even half as long as the one in UNS3, which is entirely understandable considering the amount of story left to tell. The traversable semi-open world is gone and instead got it's own mode - which again, is fine because it wouldn't make a lot of sense in this game's storyline.
But in return I was expecting a full-blown Story mode with continous cutscenes. Not a half-assed mission select that fills up time between fights with stills from the anime. This is such a huge step back in comparison to UNS 2 & 3 :/

There's still going to be the really big cutscenes, it just seems CC2 decided to relegate some of the "in-between" moments to stills. I haven't checked, personally, to see how "bad" it is to avoid spoiling the game (even though I know what happens from the manga) but it's far from going to be purely anime stills for the entire game like the in between games (Generations & Revolution) I'm guessing.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Game is freaking gorgeous and the hype is so real! This will be my first Naruto game since Uzamaki Chronicles from the Playstation 2. I have one quick question... You can explore villages and stuff right? It's not just fighting, right?

holy shit that 9 gates Gai looks hype as hell.
Oh yeah, there are still the typical CC2-Quick-Time-Sequences we love these games for, but everything in between seems to be gone. Whenever there's no fighting going on, it just cut's to anime stills and VO.
I'm replaying UNS3 right now and they actually went to pretty great lengths to present even the longest conversations in an interesting way, using many different camera angles etc. That's why I loved these game's story modes: They presented me a condensed version of the anime's story in an amazing looking engine. Yes, there were some anime stills here and there, but they were used sparringly. Now it's just..."Woops, someone put their weapon down, let's cut to some way worse looking anime stills!"
I also really don't enjoy the fact the game is so chopped up now. The game seems to throw you into a menu after every big fight, so you can choose the next one. No transition, nothing. Just Anime stills, amazing looking fight, Anime Stills, END. That's...still cool, I guess, but it's also such a huge step back compared to it's predecessor's.
With its reliance on largely already established characters and movesets and way, way shorter story mode I don't really understand where the ressources went into instead right now...The game looks amazing! But it also looked amazing before. Not THAT amazing, but still, pretty damn amazing
You could in UNS 2, got scaled back in UNS 3 and is now missing from the story mode in UNS 4 - however, you can traverse the world in a seperate "Adventure Mode", do fetch quests there etc. As far as I understand there are not going to be huge boss fights or quick time sequences or anything like that, you'll just be able to relive fights from the previous games in the samer manner as you would by choosing a 1V1 Free Fight match.
These gifs are amazing. Never played a Naruto game before and I stopped watching the series a bit into Shippuden (Although I kind of read the Wiki every now and then) but I can't wait for this. Pre-ordered last week and my copy shipped early this morning, better arrive tomorrow.

Wow... That sounds...ummm... bad.... I plan on being in Adventure Mode the most... I was hoping it would be packed to the brim with content...
So Story Mode must just be fighting key and significant battles...
There are a lot of real time cutscenes for this game, but yeah, its not straight real time like it was for 2 or 3. Its more like a combination of that and generations.
That being said, CC2 has 3 current gen AAA projects in UE4 for PS4(and presumably other consoles) in the works. They are looking to expand beyond Naruto and so this game isn't their full priority like previous numbered Storm entrees.
I'm very hyped for this, already preordered from PSN so I'll have to wait until next tuesday to play ;_;
By the ways has the opening for the game benn posted already? here it is:
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 - Opening Intro
Really? that's odd, I (foolishly) saw a video earlier today that was in my recommended list on youtube, it was complete story cut-scene done with the game's graphics
, it lasted more than 11 minutes and there weren't any QT prompts or anything like that, just pure story, done in the game's graphics, it was gorgeous. So I wouldn't worry about the story mode.

thanks! Can anyone else confirm it's like this throughout the game? Setting expectations to reasonable for now.

What?! Noooooooooooo!
Truth.
Hanabi has a history of being in the older PS2 games. She was the secret unlockable in UN3 and just sort of stuck around. She's an in house favorite.

What?! Noooooooooooo!
Yeah, not all of the scenes are real time. There are certain ones that are generations style still frames.
None of the battles are effected though.
It just says to me that CC2 are not all in on this game, which they obviously arent considering how many projects they have

Id love to buy this, I really liked the demo, but I have no clue who anyone is anymore. Does the game have any kind of recap of the previous games stories?

There are flashback missions in the Adventure mode, which is separate from Story mode, but the mode itself is set "after story mode' chronologically, so you technically should finish story first.
There's no elegant way to go about this.

The last game I played in the series was UNS2, and while I do miss some real time scenes in this one, it's not that bad.
Most of the cool stuff is in real time (prerendered) and the exposition, as in, characters standing around and talking scenes are made with stills and all the cool action scenes are in real time.
Gameplay is the best it has ever been though. (I did not own UNS3 or UNSR, but I did have the chance to play them)
Not really, you get a lot of flashbacks to fill in the gaps of the whole arc and better understand motivations for some characters and learn how they ended up where they are and why.
But you don't really get a good recap, a really really short one at the beginning of story mode.
Maybe in adventure mode? Haven't tried that one yet though, so I can't confirm.

There is depth and strategy at the top end though not nearly as much as fighting games like Street Fighter and such.
Sasuke The Last is a beast. His ultimate is one of the best as well.

I tried out both Naruto and Sasuke the last yesterday and OMG. Both are awesome but sasuke just feels OP.
