    I’m playing through Ninja Gaiden 2 (X360) at the moment partly in preparation for this release. NG4 looks so fucking different but still - I think - promising. I’m not sure what I think about the full cyberpunk aesthetic but who plays these games for the story anyway? Combat looks vicious, fast and brutal and even though it looks very different from the old games it still looks good I think.

      I’ve read children books with more coherent stories than Ninja Gaiden. I doubt any fan will care as long as the gameplay is good.

      Story trailers are to hook new players, I suppose.

        It’s more about the aesthetic, I really enjoyed when it was the weird modern/ancient mix they were going with before rather than this actual cyberpunk.

          Yeah, it’s a jarring shift to this Zone of the Enders/MGR look, NGL. Kinda feels like Batman Beyond or something 😅
