Ninja Gaiden 3: http://kotaku.com/5638775/team-ninja-re ... en-3-ni+oh

Absolutely nothing is known, aside from the fact that the development team is led by Hayashi (the Sigma guy), obviously. It'll be interesting to see what kind of game he's going to design from ground up.

Knowing what that guy did with Sigma I'm pretty sure of one thing... it will he hard as fuck.

I'm playing the first ninja gaiden sigma on PS3. The story has no fucking sense whatsoever, but it's probably the most difficult game in its genre that came in the last ten years.

I reminds me of old Nes, Megadrive or Snes games.

No checkpoints, and save games that save only your stats and location. And enemies that kill you even when you master the controls.

Though the bossfights are easier (I mean, less difficult) than the normal enemies.

No. Trivia time: on my first playthrough of Sigma's normal difficulty I probably died around 100 times. On my second playthrough of Sigma's normal difficulty I died maybe 20 times. You really do get noticeably better at the game the more you play.

Attending a behind-closed door reveal earlier today, the image of Ryo Hayabusa holds secrets of the game to come. Ryu is pulling off his mask to represent a more human side to the series' protagonist and the idea that players will discover more about him.

Ryu also has blood on his face, representing a more violent and bloody experience to Ninja Gaiden 2. You can also see a reflection of a person in Ryu's eye, perhaps suggesting an inner darkness which he is trying to contain - the likelihood is this darkness will manifest itself with new abilities.

Oh dear...what have you done? I bet the purists have a thing or two to say about that.

Cue Edward Murrow

You still died. even when you mastered the controls... which is what I said.

have you played the game? After playing the normal, going through hard or insane difficulties requires insanity. Instead of fun you may get frustrated.

Though I admit the difficulty of Ninja gaiden sigma is more due to the fact that you have to beat a lot of enemies, go to another section and face another batch of other enemies that require a diferent strategy, then the respawning of a 100 ninjas and then a boss. If you die, you go back to the last save, and if you saved after killing the enemies defending the save point, you load and those enemies will respawn.

Not me...

In fact i'm in my first playthrough in normal. I'm just judging harder dificulties using the normal as a reference.

There's the ything that the parts with respawnig enemies are totally optional though.

Series peaked with Black, don't see that changing anytime soon. Ninja Gaiden needs redemption after the disappointment of the second game, and judging by the Sigma titles, that ain't gonna happen. Still, it'll probably still end up being better than it's competitors.

Second normal playthrough happened 6 months and 1 HDD cleaning session after the first one.

 

[Forest Dweller]

OH OK.

lol have you beaten MN yet, dicksmoker?
