Question 1
There were a few problems with it that I would like to point out.
- First when you do super styles that abrupt music change is very odd. The volume increases and it just seems a little out of place. The music cut out every so often and there was even one part right at the beginning of the demo that the music was actually crackling.. it was strange.
Some bodies float as well.
But I had so much fun with the demo and I played through it about 12 times so far.
Answer 1
The volume increase was because they were 'super styles', however, I did nock them back a bit and do some balancing just a day or so ago.
The audio (music cutting out) glitches during the Ninja Sequence are also fixed.
FYI the demo was locked down ages ago, plenty of spit n polish has been done since then right.
Question 2
HELLO????
is blocking is automatic?
Answer 2
It's not completely automatic, in that you need to be in the right stance to block the incoming move (or evade for unblockables).
For a NinjaChallenge - try completing the demo ONLY using counter-attacks
Question 3
Please tell me the hard mode is available without having to play through once to unlock it?
Answer 3
HELL mode is available right off the bat, yes.
Bare in mind, that what you're playing now is a level early on in the story, you can scrape through it just by mashing buttons - try that in the later chapters and you'll get your (gorgeous) ass handed to you on a plate...
Question4
also, does anyone else notice the brightness of the game fading in and out? I keep thinking its my TV, but i'm curious...
Answer4
Naa, that'll be the sun going behind the clouds.
Question 5
Please tell me the hard mode is available without having to play through once to unlock it?
Answer 5
I heard today that we had to prove to Sony that the game could be completed in Hell Mode... a couple of ninja's managed it I believe. Seems the testers didn't! Hehe.
