QTE’s can be turned off in the options menu, but are frequent throughout the game, from a slow- motion knee slide to slicing through enemies to using the Kunai climb.
They can be turned off so whatever
Playing as Ryu makes you feel like a super hero as he is nearly unstoppable, meaning you won’t die as nearly as much as in previous games.
Five difficulty levels: Hero, Normal, Hard, Master Ninja and Ultimate Ninja.
Can't really comment on the difficulty until I've played it but considering I've beaten all the other ninja gaidens on the hardest difficulty I was expecting this to be a breeze.
Gone is every primary weapon save for Ryu’s single sword (You still have shurikens).
Thats just stupid, but there do appear to be other weapons for (free) download
No yellow essence currency from killing enemies or opening chests.
You won't be able to spam UT's to breeze through the game, this is a good thing
You are stuck with a non-upgradable sword and Ryu’s health regenerates after each battle, so health restoring items have been excised.
Seems like they want to streamline it into a pure action game, we'll see if it works
Ninpo has become a use it or lose it perk that powers up during each encounter.
Same as UT, this is a good thing
Limb removal is gone.
Pure stupidity, it was a fun mechanic. But there should still be plenty of gore.
Campaign is split into eight days and the story runs circles around the other games.
Thats good I guess
Bosses are nowhere near as memorable or numerous as you’d expect from a Ninja Gaiden game.
Ninja gaiden doesn't really have memorable bosses though
Only one cameo from a Dead or Alive character, Ayane.
Thats all there ever is, though this sucks since they teased Kasumi in sigma 2
You can lower the difficulty at any point in the game.
OK, you can also not lower it
Ninja Cinema returns
Good? Is this being listed as a negative?
Time for hype
