Ninja Theory, Ltd.
No longer enslaved to Enslaved!
Final thoughts: Pigsy is a pig, Monkey is kinda like a monkey, and Trip is... kinda hot. What, you want to know more? Well listen to the 'cast!
Ninja Theory sure has a thing for redheads don't they?
We're digging into another game from our backlog: Ninja Theory's Enslaved. We start by getting Julian's take on backlogged games from 2012, then we talk about what kind of a game Enslaved is.
Namco Bandai's commercial failure was Ninja Theory's creative success.
While history always remembers the games with the perfect reviews and the record sales, sometimes the best examples of the industry’s work have neither and become forgotten to all but the few who recognized them for being something special.
Available now for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with the PC version being released on the 25th of this month.
Get over the new look: Dante is far more interesting now.
It’s no secret that many gamers fear change of any kind, flying into nerd rage anytime one of their hallowed franchises tries to mix things up. At the same time, they hate things to stay the same, quickly getting bored when a series doesn’t add enough new to a sequel. This is the rock and a hard place that Ninja Theory is trapped between with their gutsy take (don’t call it a reboot) on the Devil May Cry series. With the internet already ablaze with hate for the makeover of the popular antihero Dante, the sentiment has been that the game had better feel like Devil May Cry…or else. From the outset I’ve been behind Ninja Theory, happy that they’ve gone in such a bold direction, but even I have asked if the game will live up to my Devil May Cry memories. My recent time with the game tells me that the franchise is in good hands, even if I have new questions to replace my old ones.
People will remember the caterpillar boss you have a swearing match with.
Dante's next outing hopes to impress you with fast paced gameplay, fluid mechanics and memorable bosses. If you look at the game itself and past the controversial design change of Dante, you'll find an action romp not unlike the last four in the series but with changing environments, cleaner graphics and top-notch presentation.
