From Software’s QTE-drenched action gameNinja Bladeis out in April after several delays. I have a feeling that the publishers kept screwing up the “press X Button to release game in February” minigame. Nevertheless, we’ll all get a chance to enjoy timed button presses while the game plays itself and looks like it’s having more fun than us very soon. Have some screenshots to celebrate.
I’ve been harsh onNinja Bladeever sinceI “played” it at TGS last year, but I do hope it turns out well. It’s been a while since I got to play a genuinely good hack-n’-slash action game, andNinja Bladeat leastlookssexy and big-budget. I just hope that the ridiculous amount of QTEs I played in Tokyo don’t account for 90% of the game as they threatened to do so.
I don’t mind quick-time-events at all, but I do if they’re being used as the sole gameplay mechanic. Unless it’sGitaroo Man, of course, and somehow I doubtNinja Bladewill have kick-ass music to justify the button mashing.
