In the past, PS3 University Dean also had a day when flowers bloomed. “Nioh 2 Complete Edition” (Nioh 2 Complete Edition) will be available on PC (Steam), PS4 and PS5 on February 4. Producer Fumiko Yasuda rushed to accept an interview with Taiwan and Hong Kong media before the release, reviewing the past 4 years.
Taiwanese players should be no stranger to Mr. Yasuda Fumiko, who came to Taiwan to promote “Nioh” at the 2017 Taipei International Game Show (Web link）。
The name of “PS3 University Master” comes from the original development period of “Nioh” for 11 years, and it has been dragged from PS3 to PS4. It was not until the Tokyo Game Show in 2016 that it finally returned, and the release was confirmed in 2017.Recalling the history of “Nioh” PS3 college graduates。
Fast forward to the 2nd and 4th of 2021, about 4 years after the first generation, “Nioh 2 Complete Edition” will be launched soon.
“Nioh 2 Complete Edition” Sengoku: Hyakki Yakou
Although it is a masterpiece, Yasuda Fumihiko once again emphasized that “Nioh 2 Complete Edition” will not add any new elements. He pointed out that the previous update has been completed through the season pass, which is 3 additional DLC downloads, this time it is the “full version” literally.
He said that compared with the unexpected situation of “Nioh Complete Edition” PC transplantation, “Nioh 2 Complete Edition” is relatively more experienced, and there are many things that the first generation did not do well. This time it was relatively smooth.
For “Nioh 2 Complete Edition”, Fumahiko Yasuda believes that the biggest highlight supports 4K ultra-high resolution and 120 frame rate screen presentation; the auxiliary content that gives game tips makes the player experience more comfortable.
In the corresponding PS5 dedicated DualSense wireless controller feedback experience, all shooting and bow draws show a more intuitive feel thanks to the adaptive trigger. Although there is no special response to the “☐” attack with the proximity weapon, the handle will also target the attack action. Provide relative responses, etc.
The point is! When playing cats on the PS5 platform, the DualSense tactile feedback will respond relatively.
Turning to the topic of platform selection, Yasuda Fumihiko mentioned that PC games are becoming a trend in today’s game industry. In the future, increasing investment in PC platforms will indeed become a trend. However, this time “Nioh 2 Complete Edition” did not launch the Switch platform, which is entirely because of the hardware limitations of the Switch, and forced development will be very time-consuming and laborious.
When asked about “War Ghosts on Horses”, which is also a Japanese theme, Fumiko Yasuda did not hesitate to say that he had contact, but after playing, he felt that his “Nioh” still has its own uniqueness ????.
Dedicated to novice players who have just entered the world of “Nioh”
For the novice players who have joined since “Nioh 2 Complete Edition”, Fumiko Yasuda suggested that they can choose the newly added weapon “Naginata”, because the posture and experience are different and flexible. I have a soft spot for dual swords, but because I like it so much, every time I want to strengthen dual swords weapons, I am always ruthlessly rejected by the development team ????.
He added that because of the diversification of weapons in “Nioh 2”, if you want to maintain the balance of weapons, you have to pre-calculate how players view the weapon positioning and use response before building a new system, and finally make corresponding adjustments, although they are closely linked. It’s really complicated, but there are still some elements that you have to experience before you can grasp it.
Looking back on the past four years, “Nioh” and “Ninja Gaiden” (?)
In previous interviews, Fumahiko Yasuda repeatedly revealed that the “Nio” series might come to an end, and hinted that “Ninja Gaiden” might be resurrected. This time, Fumahiko Yasuda still speaks very tightly about this matter.
He bluntly said that Team Ninja has been fighting in the “Nioh” series for 7-8 years. It seems that it is the time to do some other projects, but he does not rule out accumulating more experience, and the right time and place will bring new things to the people. “Nioh”.
Of course, because “Nioh” was originally created by the core members of the “Ninja Gaiden” series, whether it is the RPG elements or the connection system adopted by “Nioh”, as long as it can be used in “Ninja Gaiden” in the future, it is reasonable and very reasonable. Alluring scheme.
So, if there is a sequel, what will the next “Nioh” look like? Fumiko Yasuda pointed out that he does not rule out the well-known worldview, but also wants to try new creations.
He said that the first generation of “Nioh” is a fixed protagonist (William), and the second generation is a protagonist created by players. If there are three generations in the future and a glamorous and deep character is found, it does not rule out returning to the first generation route. At the same time, it does not rule out the use of the second-generation self-created role.
Recalling the development process of “Nioh 2”, Fumiko Yasuda revealed that because “Nioh 2” did not want to repeat a generation of practices, he introduced his own characters. For the development team, this was a new challenge to the storytelling, and it was a challenge for Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Another interpretation of the rise of ”now seems to be no regrets.
You must be asked about the most satisfactory design. Fumiko Yasuda smiled without hesitation and said that the action is the most favorite new monster “train” in “Nioh 2”, and the mascot is the wood spirit.
Looking back on the past 4 years of development of two games, “Nioh” and “Nioh 2,” Yasuda Fumihiko recalled that the development cycle before the release of the first generation was very long, and there were many experience versions in the middle, but no matter which generation is good, every time It is through the experience version to listen to the players’ opinions and then gradually improve. It can be said that the players’ support and response have made him deeply touched, and he can only say thank the players.
He added that the development team is always moving in new directions. Although there are no new trends to report, if there is anything to say, “Team Ninja is a development team that does hardcore games and takes a knife to overcome obstacles.” It should be possible in the future. Look forward to it, so stay tuned.
At the end of the interview, Fumiko Yasuda expressed regret for not being able to go abroad to promote the new work due to the epidemic, and once again emphasized that “Nioh 2 Complete Edition” is really an end this time. We look forward to the support of players and sincerely hope that everyone can play this game. He will continue to pay attention to players. Feeling of the game experience; thanks again.
