4k30 or 1080p60.

beaten.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Diablo.

Fuck, I'm suddenly not as interested

Is there a Pro benefit?

A lot.

 

[Backfoggen]

Pro is 4K 30FPS and 1080p 60FPS,
OG PS4 is 1080p 30FPS and 900p 60FPS.

4k/30fps
1080p/60fps

4k30 or 1080p60.

beaten.

It's dynamic 1080p on Pro though and it can drop quite low.

PS4 Exclusive, Sony publishing in West.

Too bad, looks great though!

Nice to see the Souls games finding more and more variations in settings and systems over time.

 

[Jawbreaker]

A lot.

It works really well. I'd suggest giving it a chance.

 

[joey_bone_bomb]

Surprisingly good scores so far. Was not expecting these numbers.

 

[Ogawa-san]

Breaking my "don't buy stuff at launch" rule for this, preordered and ready.

Now off to find something to do until the 7th

 

[Hanmik]

So any of them mention new enemies we haven't seen?
I'm noticing people find the bosses too hard....which is a strange negative.

There are lots of different enemies.. and there is a "bestiary" where you can watch a 3d model of them, and read about them. You can even unlock more info on them, when you beat a certain amount of them. This includes the Bosses..

I struggled with one of the earlier bosses .. but once I beat it, I realized that it in fact was a mid game boss. lol.. soon after another player joined me, and we actually ran through the rest of the level. The real boss was a cake walk with a partner..

 

[Mesharey]

Expected these reviews but nice to see them, Team NINJA is back, since the release of DoA5 but Nioh confirms it.

Day 1!

 

[StrongBlackVine]

It's dynamic 1080p on Pro though and it can drop quite low.

Link?

 

[BigEmil]

Still remains higher than OG PS4 overall so still a big improvement. Whatever needed to keep a more stable 60fps I'll take it

 

[bigol]

Another eagerly awaited game that delivers in quality, nice to see such a good streak of games.

 

[kallisto76]

excellent, reviews just confirm it is another game to buy.
I'll be there day 1!

 

[UrbanRats]

Team Ninja actually make a good game and of course it's an exclusive.

If the next Ninja Gaiden is exclusive too then I'll scream.

Pity I'll never get to play Samurai souls Gaiden

This has really little to nothing of Ninja Gaiden, aside from the ninja/samurai overtones.
Unless the gameplay is completely different from the BETA.

 

[Weltall Zero]

Surprisingly good scores so far.

Some good early scores. I was expecting lower.

Really? From playing the rock solid demo I was actually expecting slightly higher than what it's getting, around 88.

 

[Lancelot]

Welcome back, Team Ninja!

 

[Alcotholic]

After playing the demo, it was clear this was gonna be a great game.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Welcome back, Team Ninja!

Welcome back Japan.

 

[WAR recon zero]

Is it harder or easier than bloodborne?

Loved bloodborne but the difficulty almost made me hate it.

 

[Yoshichan]

Good shit, good shit.

 

[AndersK]

Is it harder or easier than bloodborne?

Loved bloodborne but the difficulty almost made me hate it.

Definately harder, insofar BB is widely considered on the easier end of the soulsborne scale of git gud.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Is it harder or easier than bloodborne?

Loved bloodborne but the difficulty almost made me hate it.

There's more to learn in this game with the mechanics so that might make it harder for some people

 

[Hanmik]

Is it harder or easier than bloodborne?

Loved bloodborne but the difficulty almost made me hate it.

For me it feels just as hard as bloodborne (I have platinumed that game, but found it quite hard).

One thing though.. when you have an online partner, the game feels a lot easier.

 

[Renekton]

Oh balls fml, BB is the hardest of the Souls.

 

[Novocaine]

Glad to see it getting positive reviews. It didn't click with me during the alpha/beta but I will be giving it a try later down the track when I need something new

 

[SuperSah]

I've only seen a couple of videos just now since I didn't know this existed until it.

It looks like a budget like Souls clone. What am I missing??3

 

[Hanmik]

Oh balls fml, BB is the hardest of the Souls.

again that was for me, some find BB to be the easiest of the soulsborne games.. and another thing.. I am 41 years old, that does make a difference when it comes to action games like these. ;o)

 

[Yu Narukami]

For those that are interested LobosJR is streaming the game.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

lol since when?

Yeah I think they need to balance or tone down Co-op help abit. Co-op help is too OP sometimes from what I tried and seen in the beta's

There are 3 demos and you all missed!

Diablo-style loot, samurai aesthetic (though it still has a western protagonist), less weapon variety but more mechanics to control attack animations in the form of high, low, and mid stances. You can rally back stamina. Mission-based, not interconnected world.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

The release of this game feels like when Demon Souls was released. This game will be something special.

 

[John Wick]

Even though I'm just focusing on tech coverage of the game, I want to chime in and say that I absolutely love it. Just an incredible game. The best thing Team Ninja has made in a very long time. An absolute return to the greatness of Ninja Gaiden in my book.

Can't wait for the tech analysis.
Looks like Sony are on fcuking roll with the games. All have been 80+ I believe?

 

[brawly]

lol since when?

Since release. It's the easiest hands down. DLC is the hardest tho.

 

[Rozart]

Aaa, I'm so excited for this game.

Great scores so far! Happy for Team Ninja!

The Playstation 4 Pro version of the Nioh Last Chance Trial uses different native resolutions depending on which game mode is chosen. Movie mode uses a dynamic resolution with resolutions switching between 2560x1440, approximately 3330x1880 and 3840x2160. Action mode uses a dynamic resolution with resolutions switching between 1280x720, 1665x940 and 1920x1080. Movie mode appears to run at a higher resolution on average than Movie (variable) mode (http://imgur.com/a/wZSLx).

Since release. It's the easiest hands down. DLC is the hardest tho.

This discussion goes nowhere.

 

[humansarehorses]

No way. Greatshields trivialize boss fights in the Souls games.

Anyway, scores are around what I expected.

 

[AndersK]

Since release. It's the easiest hands down.

Obviously the DLC is hard as balls, but I've seen a lot of people say the base game is easier (which is very relative in this case)

Yes. Good confidence for team ninja as well since they build upon nioh as a franchise or go back to ninja gaiden

 

[Fistwell]

At work, no time to read reviews, cliffsnotes on length and volume of content?

 

[NEO0MJ]

It works really well. I'd suggest giving it a chance.

I'm still not sure whether to go with this or Yakuza.

Thanks. I wonder long those low dips last. Need to see an in-depth analysis. Won't effect my purchase regardless.

 

[BigEmil]

It likely only drops to those res for a little bit time then raises back up to base res most of the time. Let's wait for Digital Foundry or NXGamer for this

 

[esmith08734]

Amazing reviews. I hope everyone enjoys the game. I'll be buying when I have some more free time.

 

[PR_rambo]

What a fantastic start for Japanese games this year, everything reviewing so well. And kudos to Sony for bringing some of it over.
