Ninja dog ninja gaiden что это

Обновлено: 03.07.2024

Часть 2. Забвение, забытье и полный перезапуск серии.

Человек ответственный за возрождение серии на приставке xbox - Томонобу Итакаги.

Позволю себе небольшое отступление. Как видно из описанной выше ситуации Итакаги (человек, который позднее заново создал серию Ninja Gaiden на консолях) оказался смелым и готовым к оправданному риску. Он не побоялся проявлять инициативу и реализовывать новые идеи, даже в такой тяжелой ситуации. Возможно, отчасти от того, что у руля создания Ninja Gaiden вновь оказался человек не боящийся воплощать свои смелые и необычные идеи серия в последствии и вышла такой самобытной, уникальной и неповторимой.

Девчонки в Dead or Alive и правда получились что надо.

Итакаги тоже знал это, он так же знал, что есть еще несколько дел, которые необходимо закончить вместе со своим заблудшим Ниндзя Дракона. Dead or Alive стала второстепенной или даже вспомогательной историей Рю. С помощью которой он смог выбраться из тьмы забытья. И Итакаги собирался взяться за вновь обретенного персонажа серьезно.

Опять же позволю себе отвлечься на пространное рассуждение. Сейчас очень много сказано хорошего и плохого про грядущий Ninja Gaiden 3. Однако, вся проблема заключается в том, что это просто другая игра. В ее основе лежат совершенно другие принципы и идеи. Итакаги - очень своеобразный человек, резкий и жесткий, известный тем, что никогда не стеснялся четко и ясно, а иногда просто грубо, высказывать свое мнение (возможно, в этом улавливается какая-то связь с тем Рю, которого мы увидели в его играх). Концепт его игры был прост : чем сложнее - тем лучше. Он не хотел сделать игру и подарить людям развлечение, нет, его целью было дать людям испытание, вызов. Игра должна была держать в напряжении и заставлять человека играть на максимуме всегда. Начиная от битвы с мобами и заканчивая финальным боссом. Итакаги прямо заявлял игрокам - хотите пройти Ninja Gaiden будьте готовы к трудностям. Если не готовы или не хотите трудностей - до свидания. Как говорится : “Нет нервов - не садись в шахматы играть”(с) Это в корне отличается от того, что заложено в основу новой части Ninja Gaiden. Поэтому неудивительно, что третья часть получается такой непохожей на предыдущие. Я еще уделю внимание некоторому сравнению отличий взглядов Итакаги и Йосуке Хаяши, в отдельной теме. Сейчас лишь отмечу, что почти все основные особенности игры и серии были пересмотрены и изменены. Среди них можно выделить подход к сложности игры, а так же первичность геймплея перед сюжетом. Отсюда такая большая разница, пропасть можно сказать, между играми из одной серии.

History [ ]

As a result of being conceived when Ayame (wife of Shiden, leader of the Mugen Tenshin clan) was raped by Raidou, Ayane spent much of her childhood an outcast and unwanted by the majority of her clan. Taking pity on Ayane, Genra, the leader of the Hajin Mon sect adopted her, becoming Ayane's foster father. With permission of the Mugen Tenshin clan's Master and Head Ninja Shiden, Genra inducted Ayane into the black ops branch of the clan known as Hajin Mon, training her in Hajin Mon style Ninjutsu in order to assist him in his duties. Unlike the main Tenjin Mon sect that deals with direct combat, the Hajin Mon specializes in behind the scenes support role and training mage ninja in ninpo abilities.

At age 14 [citation needed] , Ayane, for circumstances still unknown, came under the employment of Murai, a rogue ninja and former member of the Hayabusa Ninja Clan.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma [ ]

As Murai's agent, Ayane is tasked with gathering information and spying for her Master. When Ryu Hayabusa enters the domain of Murai's Ninja Fortress, Ayane becomes Murai's messenger, relaying messages to Ryu via Kunai scrolls. Noticing the nearby Hayabusa village ablaze, Ayane rushes in to inform her Master Murai, finding him and in mid conversation with Master Ryu, to her surprise. As Ryu heads off to rescue his clan, Ayane is sent by Murai to investigate the carnage. In the Hayabusa Village, Ayane encounters Samurai warriors and spots their leader Doku. However, she is overwhelmed and only escapes within an inch of her life. Ryu later finds her on the top floor of an armory, where she could only warn him about a "Samurai clad in dark armor" before losing consciousness.

Months later, Ayane is sent to Tairon, shadowing Ryu as he searches for the Dark Dragon Blade on his quest for vengeance. Under orders by Murai to manipulate Ryu Hayabusa into going on a massacring spree, Ayane works as Ryu's secret agent, relaying various intel to Ryu via Kunai Scrolls. When they meet, Ryu mockingly asserts Ayane as "running errands for Murai", after which he asks Ayane to take care of Rachel still recovering from the Hydracubus. As events unfold, Ayane watches from behind the scenes. Switching sides in the end, she only observes as Ryu Hayabusa cuts down her former Master.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 [ ]


Ayane in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

Shortly after Genshin's assault on the Hayabusa Clan, Ayane is summoned to an injured Jo Hayabusa's bedside, where she is tasked by him with a mission to retrieve the Eye of the Dragon for his son Ryu, fearing that Ryu would die trying to save the world without it. Following in the wake of Ryu's path of destruction, Ayane finds herself in the Aqua capital, dispatching remnants of the Black Spider clan and various fiends left in the city. Ayane soon encounters Obaba, who by some unknown means, had been resurrected and had acquired the Eye of the Dragon. After a fierce battle, Ayane defeats Obaba and retrieves the Eye of the Dragon. Back at the Hayabusa village, Ayane arrives just as Ryu had returned from the Amazon. On top of a rooftop, the two have a brief discussion before Ayane delivers the Eye of the Dragon. Ayane is amazed as she witnesses the True Dragon Sword being formed from the reunion between the Dragon Sword and the Eye of the Dragon.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge [ ]


Ayane in Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge

When Ryu arrives at the Rub' al Khali desert with Mizuki McCloud, Ayane is sent by Hayate to give the Jinran-Maru to Ryu to use as a weapon, since his Dragon Sword was inside of him due to Grip of Murder inflicted on him by the Regent of the Mask. Ayane asks Ryu to bring it back in one piece because it was only a loaner, and tells him to let someone in his village look at his arm soon before she leaves.

Later in Paris, Ayane was "taking it easy" on her vacation. However, LOA terrorists shortly arrived in the area, as was hinted to Ayane by her cell phone which received a text saying "5 seconds." While Ayane was being given a massage, a terrorist came in her room causing the masseuse to flee in fear. Ayane nonchalantly stood up, wrapped in only a towel, and was then held at gunpoint, though she showed no concern. The terrorist then attempted to pull down Ayane's towel with his gun, and Ayane killed him in an instant. More terrorists then barged into the room, and Ayane, after putting on her ninja clothing, proceeded to kill all of them. Ayane then leaps out of the building where more terrorists appear. She continued, through the rest of the city, killing them. It appears that Irene has contact to Ayane through use of an earpiece, where the two sometimes exchanged words. After making her way to the French capital building, a battle between Ayane and three LOA alchemists ensued, with Ayane soundly defeating. However, it appears that some missiles had been launched and were heading towards Ayane. Before they impacted, Ayane, in panic, calls for Irene, who managed to destroy the missiles. Ayane is fairly annoyed after learning that Irene had the missiles destruction code all along and was about to depart. However, Irene asked that she continue to help find out who these people really are. Irene stated that Ayane was the only one she could count on, especially since Ryu is not in the best of condition; being cursed with the Grip of Murder. Ayane obliges and tells Irene that she can use her for a little longer.

Ayane is then called to infiltrate a carrier owned by LOA, known as the Black Narwhal. She kills her way through, and onto the carrier, where she fights off mutated creatures, likely created by LOA. After defeating them, the carrier begins to submerge, and Irene calls Ayane to back out. However, she appears to stands there, doing nothing even when Irene urges her to get away. Irene, looking at her GPS tracker, thinks that Ayane is going down with the carrier, runs out and looks at the submerging carrier with extreme concern. Ayane then appears behind Irene and the flashback shows that she takes out her earpiece and throws it down inside the carrier as it goes down. Ayane then asks if Irene actually cares about the well being of the ninjas, or just want to keep them in check - the earpiece is also a GPS transmitter, thus showing Ayane's location. Irene states that the CIA feels that Ayane and Ryu are not enemies, nor allies, but ninjas, and are too dangerous to let alone. Ayane then replies nonchalantly that Irene and the CIA will then have to just "keep chasing the rest of us" which Irene replies "Sorry, Ryu is the only one I'm after." Ayane becomes annoyed and bursts out, "Seriously, what's with you and Ryu?!" in which Irene replies "I know him better than you do, kid."

Ninja Gaiden Black

Ninja Gaiden Black

Ninja Gaiden Black is a reworked compilation of Ninja Gaiden and the two Hurricane Packs. Its key additional feature is Mission Mode which sets up various short standalone scenarios for players to overcome. The game features several new in-game cut scenes, and uses Hurricane Pack 1 technique more frequently on Hard difficulty and above, forcing players to find other ways to overcome the foes. A couple of new enemies even possess moves specifically to punish the use of Flying Swallow against them. Team Ninja also increased the enemies' aggression and gave most of them additional attacks which can ignore or break Ryu's defense to discourage players from assuming a very defensive posture (turtling) in Black.

Black introduced two new weapons: the Lunar staff and Smoke Bombs which distracts enemies. Besides adding new unlockable costumes, Team Ninja re majority of missions are new scenarios. One mission is an adaptation of the game played in the World Wide Master Ninja Tournament 2004 finals. The last five sequential missions make up Eternal Legend, which is Hurricane Pack 2 using the game engine of Black.

Personality [ ]

Ayane is rather very quiet, slightly distant and appears to admire Ryu Hayabusa, whom she refers to as "Master Ryu" out of respect for both him and his rank. Most of the time she is cold and has an arrogant attitude, especially to those she views as "beneath" her. However, in extreme situations, this hard outer shell is broken, exposing her soft, vulnerable, and emotional side. Sometimes she is also cynical and sharp. Ayane is very intelligent and quick on her feet.

Powers and Abilities [ ]

General [ ]

  • Agility: Ayane is the fastest out of all the playable characters in the modern Ninja Gaiden games.while her attacks are slightly weak, she makes up for this by hitting many times in a short amount of time, striking with the speed and ferocity leaving after images of herself, earning her nickname: The Female Tengu.
  • Strength: Her strength level is exceptional for a female human of her age and her exceptional fitness level is a result of intense training in order to prove herself to her clan.
  • Stealth: A trait of the Hajin Mon to provide background support, Ayane is a master infiltrator, spying without being detected while delivering messages via kunai scrolls.
  • Acrobatics: Like most ninja, Ayane is able to easily move between platforms, jump off of and briefly run on walls.
  • Durability: Ayane has a life of almost superhuman. Can take hits that would be lethal to the average human, like balls, balls of fire and rocket launcher.
  • Hand to Hand: Trained by Genra, Ayane is a master of a martial arts style known as Hajin Mon Ninjutsu. She, unfortunately, had to put him out of his misery with this style in Dead or Alive 3.
  • Ninja Sense: A Ninja ability that allows her to sense where she needs to go.
  • Ki Manipulation: Hajin Mon emphasizes in this ability, so like Ryu, Ayane has the ability to focus ki with her mind. She uses this ability to perform the art of the Raging Mountain God, which depletes her ki energy until it's replenished.
  • Spiritual Regeneration: Ayane's ability to heal herself with her spiritual lifeforce, until it is depleted.
  • Heal Ally: Ayane's ability to heal an ally who is on the verge of death. However, she reprimands her ally for getting into that predicament in the first place.

  • Shadowless Footsteps: Basic ninja wall running ability, but Ayane performs it in a spinning fashion to gain more momentum and altitude.

Ninpo [ ]

  • Art of the Raging Mountain God: Is a secret and most dangerous Hajin Mon ninpo spell that imbues the user with all the power of nature and creation, releasing it in an explosion as the user slams the ground. This attack is known to harm users who are not properly trained in its use, but Ayane has become an expert at using it in her teens, making her a prodigy.
  • Ultimate Ninpo: Merging Ayane's ninpo with an ally's own or magic, their combined might creates a powerful ninpo attack.

Weapons & Equipment [ ]

  • Fuma Kodachi: A short pair of blades handed down in the Tenjin Mon school, they are light and sharp, allowing the user to wield them quickly. Ayane has mastered the use of these blades through her Hajin Mon training.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge [Обзор игры]

Порой удивительно, как может измениться разработка, из-за ухода одного человека. Из недавних примеров многие уже убедились, куда укатилась Metal Gear, при отсутствии отца серии. И сегодняшнюю нашу гостью постигло то же самое. Стало видно, что с уходом всего одного человека, разработчики не сумели сориентироваться куда двигать серию, выпустив сначала оригинал, а потом и переиздание. Давайте же посмотрим, как же именно изменилась игра, при отсутствии всего одного человека. Приветствуем Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge.


История Ninja Gaiden 3 продолжает серию, и происходит, спустя какое-то время, после событий второй части. Рю Хаябуса, мастер ниндзя и глава клана Хаябуса, принял в гости министра обороны с его помощницей, которые приехали за помощью. В Лондоне, некие террористы, устроили чуть-ли не полномасштабную войну и выдвинули всего одно требование: приведите нам Рю Хаябусу. Немного подумав, Рю отправляется в Лондон. Спустя пару десятков выпотрошенных противников, Рю сталкивается с неким человеком в маске, который, предположительно, является предводителем террористов. Сойдясь с ним в схватке, человек накладывает на Рю проклятие, которое растворяет Меч Дракона, реликвию клана, и подобно вирусу заражает руку Рю и проклятие должно убить Рю. С этого момента, герой пытается отыскать человека в маске, остановить его планы, снять проклятие и покончить со всем этим.

Как видно, история, в традициях серии, сложнее не стала, однако в ней случились некоторые перестановки по сравнению с прошлыми играми. Истории уделили больше внимания, ввели побочных персонажей, ввели основополагающую тему, сделали больше роликов и в целом попытались несколько оживить историю. Основной темой стала человечность главного героя. Остался ли он все еще человеком или стал самой обычной ходячей мясорубкой без эмоций. Идея далеко не самая плохая, сюжеты прошлых игр были достаточно поверхностными, а теперь нам предлагают более глубокий взгляд на персонажей и тематику.

Проблемы начинаются в реализации. Не смотря на увеличенное количество времени, посвященное истории, качество этой истории не особо выросло. Большинство персонажей созданы либо чтобы как-то мотивировать героя, либо давать брифинги, либо как-то мимолетно помочь. Основная же тематика истории, человечность героя, никакого развития так и не получила, а те моменты, которые как-то могли повлиять на героя, в итоге так и не выстреливают. Team Ninja нашла далеко не самый плохой способ оживить сюжет игры, но, к сожалению, так и не проработала те моменты, на которые делала упор. Вдобавок к этому, игра длится в 2 раза меньше. Зато героя теперь озвучивает Трой Бейкер.


История также пытается показать, своеобразные, «отцовское» отношение к одному из персонажей, но экранного времени настолько мало, что проникнуться этим физически не получается.

Нововведение боевой системы называется Steel on Bone, или Сталью по Кости, если угодно. Главное, что хотели сделать разработчики этим нововведением — передать ощущение, когда меч проходит сквозь плоть противника, сталкиваясь с сопротивлением, ломая его кости. Формально все что требовалось в определенные моменты, это долбить кнопку сильной атаки, однако эффект от этой механики был интересный.

При некоторых атаках, противник давал окно для атаки, воспользовавшись которым, можно было либо отрубить ему конечность, либо вовсе убить на месте, а при прокачке, можно было убить таким приемом трех противников за раз. При этом происходило это достаточно жестоко. При активации этого приема, герой яростно бил мечом противника, камера делала крупный акцент на ране, контроллер начинал вибрировать, а из колонок доносился звук рвущихся мышц и трещащих костей. Достаточно простая, но эффективная, эффектная и, в некотором извращенном смысле, даже приятная механика, которая в целом достаточно неплохо сочетается с общей жестокостью игры. И как небольшой бонус, добавили несколько скриптовых, но ярких моментов.

Достаточно наглядная демонстрация, как работает новая механика.

Однако, при возвращении старой механики и нововведении, разработчики потеряли три столба, на которых держались прошлые игры: управление, баланс, обучение. Управление в целом осталось точно таким же, однако появились моменты, когда герой не слушает что ему говорит игрок, атакуя не того противника или используя не тот прием который хотелось. Таких моментов не очень много, но, увы, они все же встречаются.

Куда сильнее пострадал баланс. Дело в том, что в прошлых играх боевая система была отточена до мельчайшей детали, до миллисекунд в анимациях. Теперь же довольно часто встречаются моменты, когда противник игнорирует атаки, которые должны сбивать его с ног или прервать атаку, появились противники, против которых даже подходящее оружие действует не так эффективно, как раньше, а главное количество и разнообразие противников сильно пострадало. В прошлых играх количество и виды противников грамотно перетасовывались, не давая игроку заскучать, в то же время позволяя экспериментировать с подходами. Теперь же в большинстве случаев на нас будут натравливать обычных солдат, что приедается достаточно быстро, уже ко второй миссии введут противников, которые могут убить чуть-ли не сразу, в то время как игрок будет ковырять их слишком долго, а к финальной трети выдадут новых противников, у которых проблем больше, чем интересных тактик против них.

Наконец обучение игрока, главное, что делали прошлые игры, теперь работает не так эффективно, из-за проблем с прошлыми пунктами. Теперь вполне стандартная ситуация, если игрок умрет, когда на него накинут слишком большое количество несбалансированных противников, а стычки с боссами превратятся в постоянные перезагрузки, потому что теперь это парад фейерверков, за которыми даже себя сложно разглядеть.


Хотя надо признать, зарубить мечом динозавра с кибер-имплантами, это довольно забавная идея. Хоть и оправдание этому динозавру достаточно нелепое.

Дополнительный бонус переиздания Razor's Edge — эпизоды за Аяне. Раньше Team Ninja уже делала подобные бонусы для PS3 версий прошлых игр. В этот раз эпизоды сконцентрированы исключительно на Аяне, при этом, если прошлые игры переиспользовали уже пройденные уровни с минимальными изменениями, теперь дополнительные миссии происходят исключительно на отдельных локациях, что не утомляет пробежками по уже пройденным уровням. Сама механика игры за Аяне также претерпела скорее косметические изменения, хотя проблемы оригинальной механики никуда не исчезли. Также играбельными персонажами являются Момиджи, из прошлой игры, и Касуми, которая в прошлой игре появлялась лишь мельком, но является постоянным персонажем серии Dead or Alive.


Иногда героя запирают на арене, символизируя терзание душ убитых противников, которые усиливают проклятие.

Строение уровней также соблюдает линейную структуру, так что бэктрекинга в игре нет, что не может не радовать, при этом, как и было упомянуто выше, игра подтасовывает скриптовые события, что хоть немного, да разнообразит стандартные драки с противниками, и даже есть небольшой мирный эпизод в деревне Хаябуса. Графически игра не поражает, но держится на достаточно приемлемом уровне, предоставляя при этом яркие спец-эффекты, добротную анимацию и смачные эффекты разрывающихся противников. Со звуковым сопровождением все в целом неплохо. С одной стороны, общая работа со звуком стала лучше, а каждое смачное разрубание противника, сопровождается сочным звуком ломаемых костей. С другой, несколько звуков заменили, как например приятный звук убирающегося лезвия меча в ножны, заменили на более скучный и стандартный. Больше всего разочаровывает музыкальное сопровождение, которое превратилось, в основе своей, в обычный оркестр, который надолго в памяти не остается.


Ninja Gaiden 3 наглядный пример того, что случается с игрой, когда из команды уходит грамотный руководитель. При вполне грамотных идеях и правильных мыслях, свести все это воедино просто не получилось. При одном интересном нововведении, разработчики потеряли основу боевой системы, на которой все стояло. Переиздание Razor's Edge исправляет большинство недостатков, возвращая игру к первоначальному виду, но увы баланс, по прежнему не доведен до ума, что бьет по итоговым впечатлениям.
Если вы полюбили первые две игры, то оригинальную третью часть вам противопоказано брать категорически. Что касается переиздания Razor's Edge, то оно вполне играбельно, но того же эффекта, как и прошлые части, оно вам не подарит.
Если же в первые две части вы не играли, оригинал все также рекомендуется обходить стороной. А Razor's Edge можно брать спокойно. Не смотря на перечисленные минусы, это все еще яркий, быстрый, злой и кровавый слешер, который вполне способен скрасить вечер-другой.

Appearance [ ]

Ayane is a slender, petite, young woman who has short, purple hair and striking red eyes. Whilst looking more childlike and youthful in the first Ninja Gaiden title, she appears more mature and feminine in Ninja Gaiden II and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, along with a more voluptuous body on par with Rachel in the latter two titles.

Ayane's governing color in her attires is violet, as revealed in the Ninja Gaiden series; she wears a whole body jumpsuit in silver and violet with flower decorations along with several pieces of armor and garb. In Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, she opts for a more revealing costume, a dark top with a butterfly ornament on her left breast, a striped mini skirt in purple, some high-heeled sandals and gloves, with a pinkish obi tied on her back, resembling a butterfly's wings. The overall design has a butterfly motif.

In Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's edge, Ayane wears a modified version of her default leather costume from Dead or Alive 5 with the Fuma Kodachi being carried on the side of her thighs and butterfly wings on her back.

Ayane's favorite accessory is the violet bandanna which she always wear on her head in both Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden series.

The key additional feature of Black was Mission Mode, it included 45 standalone missions and five linked missions that focused on combat in different arenas. Every five missions were connected to a specific section of Mission Mode.

Appearances in Other Media [ ]

Ayane appears in all five main entries in the Dead or Alive series, though she was not a playable character in the original version of the first title. The cancelled Xbox 360 title, Dead or Alive: Code Chronos, would have featured Ayane, acting as a prequel to the Dead or Alive series and detailing the history between Kasumi and herself as they grew up within their clan.

In the film DOA: Dead or Alive, loosely based on the video game series, Ayane is portrayed by Natassia Malthe and therefore appears much older than her 16 year old self. Instead, she is the lover of Hayate and has no blood relation to him or Kasumi. She is assigned the task of killing Kasumi for abandoning the village and, as a result, follows her to the DOA tournament, where she finds Hayate alive. She then realized that Kasumi was right about Hayate still being alive. At the end of the movie, she and Hayate exchange a kiss. Her character was portrayed similar to herself in the video game series, in the sense that they are both somewhat cold and focused on their objective.

Ayane also appeared in Monty Oum's fan series Dead Fantasy. She wielded a two sided beam staff which proved to be powerful. Her enemy, Rikku of Final Fantasy X, was her main challenge in the battle. Rikku vs. Ayane is in the predicted Dead Fantasy VI.

Ayane appears as a guest character in the PS3 version of Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce. When players clear certain missions, they can unlock her Fuma Kodachi for use. Ayane also appears in Warriors Orochi 3 representing Dead or Alive, although she wears her outfit from Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Ayane is pulled into Orochi's world after the events of Dead or Alive 4.

Ayane is confirmed to be a playable character in Warriors All-Stars. Her moves are nearly the exact same as in Warriors Orochi 3. Her appearance is based on her appearance in Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge.

Development [ ]

Ninja Gaiden Black was also available through Xbox's Game Pass for Xbox One S and Xbox One X, but was removed in September 2019. Ninja Gaiden Black is also enhanced for the Xbox One X console, which improves the game's resolution to HD-levels.
