Looks good, but I'm skeptical about story on this one.

Ninja Gaiden 4 announcement
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black shadow drop
Expedition 33 releases way sooner than expected
New Doom released way sooner than expected

It's a great day for gaming. I am beside myself at the Ninja Gaiden announcement. Holy shite

Ninja Gaiden and platinum games. I am not sure how I feel about that.
I hope they are not doing the combat. I wasn't a huge fan of Nier type combat.

Edit: rather Team Ninja.

I dont trust Team Ninja making a Ninja Gaiden game without Itagaki at the controls, so I'm fine with this. Ninja Gaiden 3 was trash. It looks like they nailed the art style and world, I just hope the combat has some weight to it.

NG1 Black and NG2 are two of the best action games of all time, so it's nice to see NG2 get the definitive edition it deserves. Can't believe this is real.

I really hope Expedition 33 is amazing. Art direction and music are just sublime, gameplay looks great, killer voice cast. So pumped

NG3 was 10 years ago by now.

Their more recent games like RotR and Noih1/2 are better than any combat that platinum games has done, in my opinion.

I say this not knowing anymore than just seeing the announcement of a co-developer.

It really does look good. I haven't been this interested in a new gaming IP in a while. I hope they don't drop the ball.

Damn I wish Doom and CO33 didn’t come out so close together. Super pumped for CO33 but have never played doom and wanted to pop my cherry with this one

My teenager is pumped about Doom. Had a goofy smile through the entire announcement.

Don't read my username but please just go play the original doom on xbox/ps5 if you can. It's probably 10 bucks to buy 1-3. It's somehow still amazing to this day. If you can't deal with the graphics then just go play DOOM (2016).

The games aren't too long but it will make you so pumped for dark ages. I seriously wish I could play them again for the first time.

Pumped to hear the next Doom is so soon, was probably the game I was looking forward to most this year.

I sunk countless hours into NG Black.

Hope the new game lives up to the legacy.

Doom 3 is trash. Total departure from what makes a doom game great
