[Lagaff]

Ubisoft reveals finally the first pics of Naruto 360 on Xbox 360 in the official magazine Xbox, the game is developed by a team at Ubisoft Montreal. No other detail filtered for the moment. The release of the game is not before 2008 in the United States.

(Mod edit: Scans of English language mags not allowed)

[Defuser]

WOW.
Bu bu but it's Ubisoft....

[Kabuki Waq]

fighter or platformer?


i hope its not like the DBZ games where fanboy dreams and gimmicks get in the way of deep gameplay.

[Zeenbor]

Looks *great*!

[joshschw]

edit: from OXM? ill save the mods an edit

looks like assassins creed.

why are they making this exactly? especially as a 360 exclusive.

[Kiriku]

Awesome, I want more cel-shading for 360/PS3. :)

[meltpotato]

uh.. scans?

also: ****, its from the begining of the series?

[Blimblim]

Aren't those from the US OXM though?

[DopeyFish]

source: oxm?

why oh why do i see creasing?

[nubbe]

Any word on what kind of game it is? Beat'em'up or more open ended?

[Grecco]

Cel Shaded Prince of Persia style game. Yes Plz.

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Hot damn!

Next gen cel-shading is hot!

That looks dead-on!!

[Defuser]

I wonder if the Montreal team are vomiting from looking at anime too long.....

[nelsonroyale]

looks faithful and I quite like naruto...but anime games, yeah....no

peace

[mckmas8808]

360 exlusive eh?

[yankeeforever2]

Looks good, but I'm disappointed its pre-time jump.

[f3niks]

Hmm, looks good. I may pick this up and play with the Voice acting down to 0.

Not bad for a pre time skip Naruto though

[SpudBud]

Wow, nice cel-shading.

[2Qr.]

Awesome, I want more cel-shading for 360/PS3. :)

loool , 360 exclusive

[Fixed2BeBroken]

Holy Crap, that looks SWEET.

I honestly came into the thread thinking this game was gonna look like shit....But Hot damn, Now If I only knew what this game was gonna be like?

is it gonna be like a fighter? or adventure?

[Kabuki Waq]

This may be the longest game ever.....with each fight lasting 300 hours or so.

[Matix]

*NEXT-GEN CELSHADING HOTNESS*

So beyond killer graphics, I'm assuming this is leaning in the Action/Platforming genre (instead of another fighter)?!

[solarplexus]

So OXM scans are allowed now?

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Looks good, but I'm disappointed its pre-time jump.

Post-time jump is way way off for Western releases, we just only got past the Chuunin Exam anime episodes here!

That's like...over 130+ episodes left to go!!

[Ranger X]

I wonder if the Montreal team are vomiting from looking at anime too long.....

Jeez, we aren't anti-anime. We love anime around here in Montreal.

[f3niks]

This may be the longest game ever.....with each fight lasting 300 hours or so.

Nah, that's only in Dragonball Z and the 3rd hokage/Orochimaru fights :)

[Defuser]

loool , 360 exclusive

This is Ubisoft we're talking about here :/ The King of Multiplatforms

[meltpotato]

Post-time jump is way way off for Western releases, we just only got past the Chuunin Exam anime episodes here! That's like...over 130+ episodes left to go!!

its not just that this is pre-jump, this is literally the very begining of the series. Sakura has long hair.

[karasu]

Nah, that's only in Dragonball Z and the 3rd hokage/Orochimaru fights :)

All of those reminders about Gaara's sad child hood with that sappy music piss me right the **** off. I hope they stay far away from this game because it looks amazing.

[Dali]

fighter or platformer? i hope its not like the DBZ games where fanboy dreams and gimmicks get in the way of deep gameplay.

The main buyer of these games are fanboys, so why disappoint them?

[Kabuki Waq]

I think Faboys would be even more happy if the gameplay was good. Adding more and more characters means nothing if gameplay is below average.

[Fidget]

I have had the opportunity to see some of the work done on this through a related studio, and while I wont say anything about the game, what I did see made me -very- excited.
I'm a fairly big Naruto fan, and most of the games that have come out thus far haven't really done it for me. This did everything right, I so can't wait for it.
Go Ubi!

yeah where 80% of those 130+ are horrible fillers.....

Cue Gekitou Ninja Taisen vs Narutimate Hero argument...

[Snaku]

Um...holy shit.

[f3niks]

its not just that this is pre-jump, this is literally the very begining of the series. Sakura has long hair.

The image of Sakura appears to be a part of the article's design layout. It could just be a random image chosen by the designer.

I'm really interested in seeing what happens with this game because it'll be the first state-side Naruto title.

[Xamdou]

Looks good for a next-gen cel shaded game! :)

[jarrod]

Looks stunning... why doesn't TMNT look this good?

[Unison]

Hot hot hot.

[neojubei]

360 exlusive eh?

Timed exclusive hopefully, then again, this is ubisoft.

oh wait, this isnt the post-time-jump Naruto. I guess i'll wait for that oen to come out.

[Ree]

Eh.

[Snaku]

Looks stunning... why doesn't TMNT look this good?

Rushed, and a port 'em-up from PS2 version.

[Dina]

Looks good, but how did the previous Naruto games play? They any decent?

[Xenon]

For some reason the HUD reminds me of the Dragonlair style CD-Rom Multimedia games of old.

[shidoshi]

I have this strange feeling that when video is released for this game, people are going to want to see it, Naruto fan or otherwise.

[Surreal]

Looks really good. I'm excited for cel shaded games on 360/PS3. Hopefully after WKS is finished Level 5 can show people how it's really done.

[NinSoX]

Is this another fighter? Looks like adventure/rpg.

[Revelations]

Looks stunning... why doesn't TMNT look this good?

I dodn't know what went wrong there. Ubisoft did TMNT a injustice & disservice. :(

I couldn't care less about Naruto, but it sounds promising from what you've said!

[Flesh Into Gear]

Damn it looks good.

Please make it at least half way decent.
