Does anyone else think Ryu looks like Super Shredder now?
New Girl from Dragon Sword could play a role...I am positive i heard they are ditching Rachel:

When is MS' conference?
let's settle this once and for all
i compared the most similar looking screenshots from ninja gaiden sigma and ninja gaiden 2 and this is the result:
360
PS3
ok at first it looks like there's not much of a difference but just look at the details - you're in for a big surprise.
exhibit 1:
360
PS3
well, this one is obvious, the 360 doesn't even have the horsepower to render the whole character model. this is the case in most of the other screenshots as well. on many of the characters only random body parts are rendered. i hope this gets fixed in the final version.
exhibit 2 (sky):
360
PS3
in ng2 there's a sky and clouds. but what is that in ng sigma? no one really knows. that's not what the sky looks like where i live. seems like the ps3 can't render an actual sky. probably related to its meager 16 mbs of ram.
exhibit 3:
360
PS3
the 360's inferior gpu is forced to save fillrate here with a big gray box (cleverly disguised as an xbox 360 logo). the ps3 is only saving a few pixels with the cryptic abbreviation "psy".
moving on to the next two screenshots...
360
PS3
exhibit 4:
360
PS3
same characters, different poly count. the cell has the edge here.
exhibit 5:
360
PS3
ng2 has sharp backgrounds. ng sigma doesn't. this probably has something to do with the ps3's os using 90% of its ram running in the background.
exhibit 6:
360
PS3
black bar at the bottom on the 360? uh-oh. saving fillrate again... the 360's gpu showing its inferiority? look at ng sigma. the exact same area is fully rendered here.
------------------
drawing a conclusion here isn't easy. but looking at the big picture it's clear that the actual superior version is on the ds: ninja gaiden dragon sword:

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Can somebody point me to the announcement? What are the platforms?

If they take the decaps out of the European version I am going to be pissed.
Really fucking pissed.

I am more interested in the gameplay than graphics for this game... because we already knew it would look amazing given that Sigma looked so good and it was port.

Wow...
sad
I just noticed the claw and bladed greaves weapons.
As bad ass as the weapons are, this is obviously a way to match the Gauntlet/Greave weapons in DMC (Beowulf/Ifrit). This is a bit different as it's bladed and matches the overall gory style of NG2, so I will let it slide. Plus NG always had moves using feet anyway, now it's the whole appeal.
Competition is a WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL THING.
Now DMC4 needs a scythe/polearm weapon and we are complete.
And this is clearly early alpha graphics by the way, in some parts it looks inferior to NGS. Probably at least 12 months away, expect A LOT more polish until then. The art style has remained unchanged, I wonder how much they are changing the game play. It seems like a safe sequel just like DMC4 (minus DB+new playable character) but that's fucking fine...

Didnt Itagaki mentioned once in an interview that Ryu Hayabusa wasnt going to be the main character in NG2?
I remember reading something along those lines. I think it was EGM if Im not mistaken.

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player

Why are you calling it "safe"? You don't know anything about the game yet, other than these shots, for all you know Ryu is the main character for five minutes, then you play as a one armed ninja imp for the rest of the game.
