"I can no longer sit back and allow nationalist shitposting, nationalist indoctrination, nationalist subversion, and the German nationalist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious game balance."
It's really quite good. The different characters are actually different which I personally didn't expect. And they're pretty deep too, having their own combos, special moves and special properties.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
http://wccftech.com/niohs-game-director-the-game-will-take-70-hours-on-average-no-plans-for-pc-release-currently/

How long do you expect it will take players to complete the game, on average?

Yasuda: It will take on average around 70 hours.

Koei Tecmo recently ported a lot of games to the PC platform, and there’s already a petition for Nioh. Is there a chance you might release the game on PC at some point?

Yasuda: We currently do not have any plans to release Nioh for PC.

yeah, I also like it when developers don't have to do all the extra work of making it work on different hardware. Developing for one set of hardware is much simpler. yeah you can always outsource porting, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

Nioh will have PS4 Pro support and will be published by Sony in North America and Europe so I'm fairly positive that rules out a PC port.

That is an interesting metric since IIRC they mentioned at some point that there'd be around 20 stages in the full game? I'd say it took me ~2 hours to beat the two beta stages (never did the alpha second stage) so assuming every stage in the game is about the same length I'm still not sure how you'd go above 50, even if the difficulty kept ramping up. Though maybe with twilight versions of stages I guess I could see it.

SCEA has a stupid policy about not allowing game discs being produced for games without English VA. Since this game is intentionally half in english and half in japanese I don't know if it triggers this rule or not but it wouldn't be the first time KT publishes a game digital only.

Hasn't every Yakuza game after he first one not had any English voice acting? Those definitely had disks pressed for NA.

That hasn't been a thing since PS2 days, every KT Warriors game apart from Dynasty has no English VA and gets a disc. Also all the Yakuza games since the first one (5 was digital only though)etc.

They all got discs here so that's entirely on the US branch I guess, but that's way more KT's decision and not wanting to risk physical copies of niche titles rather than any kind of Sony mandate.

Yakuza 3 was released on a disc in the US with Japanese only language track in 2010, as were 4 and Dead Souls a few years later, so :shrug:

It's possible they had special dispensations for some publishers, though I don't know if Sega would have had much clout by that point, and I know they used to do it at some point, hence the atrocious amateur dubs in things like Chaos Wars.

Anyway, there's zero chance of it affecting Nioh these days.

The rewards for clearing the alpha and the beta have been revealed. Another neat feature is that the game has a vanity system for its gear, so you can change your good stat gear to look like any other gear you want while keeping the stats intact!
