New ‘Nioh 2’ Documentary Explores The Title’s Final Months of Development
With Nioh 2 now available on PlayStation 4, if you’re in the mood for a little “behind the scenes” action, Archipel, in collaboration with Japanese gaming media Game*Spark, has released an hour-long “Inside Nioh 2” documentary. Based around a series of conversations with Nioh 2 director and producer Fumihiko Yasuda, the documentary offers a look into the final months of development for the sequel.
Alongside Yasuda, the documentary also features input from art director Hirohisa Kaneko, sound director Yojiro Yoshimatsu, voice actor Naoto Takenaka, and Sony Interactive Entertainment producer Masaaki Yamagiwa.
Nioh 2 was released March 13, with a rumoured PC release in November.
The House of The Dead fans have a new rail shooter to dive into with Alex Rassloff‘s MEATHOOK, which will be launching on Steam on July 21. If you can’t wait that long, you can check out the demo, which features seven of the game’s 10 levels.
This survival horror FPS sees you being captured by a mysterious cult, which has killed your partner and suspended you from a conveyor mechanism like a piece of meat. Making matter worse, you’re now forced to partake in a collection of ritualistic challenges, collecting weapons and cleansing the tunnels of cultists that are looking to carve you up.
Sporting throwback PS1-style graphics and gore, MEATHOOK also features a tactile physics-driven weapon system as well as a unique manual reload feature. You navigate the small interconnected levels by selecting markers to move along the conveyor that takes you throughout the levels. You’ll be stocking up on resources such as food, ammo, keys and guns.
For added replay, there are multiple paths to discover, as well as a few shortcuts. There are also secret items to discover for the completionists in mind.
