Wow, very nice improvements to the models on NG. Gonna have to make NG1 a trilogy when I get a PS3 eventually. Mighty nice.

Looks like NGB CGi stuff, PS3 is shaping up to have all the best action games this gen, DMC, GOW and NG on one system.

Just as expected, an improved port/remake with a few extras thrown in. People should stop hyperventilating, it was clear as water this was another Twin Snakes-like case (luckily Tecmo is not DK)
I hope it is 1080p at least, Ninja Gaiden is still an awesome looking game and it could look even better with a few tweaks in the lighting and res departments.

I hope at least that this version doesn't retain the "fake local lighting" that the original had, that bugged me a little. Otherwise, it's like a higher res version which is ok looking for the PS3, but people saying this looks like the CG need their eyes checked.

Huh? Who said it looks like the prerendered stuff from NG?

Which is sad, because I really thought they produced some the greatest graphics last gen... was looking forward to what they could do next gen and as it is, I'm pretty dissapointed. :/

Thanks, the excitement got over me.MightyHedgehog said:Time travel-fixed.
Compare Rachel models.
The thing is, Ninja Gaiden in-game graphics were already quite crazy.

Hush, hush! DMC4 looks totally next gen, didn't you receive the memo?PG2G said:
The main character models are very nice. Certainly on a par with anything else Team Ninja has put out so far this gen, in that regard. The environments and such look more like what you'd expect from a port-em-up judging by these shots. Though it's a little hard to tell.
Hopefully there'll be footage at TGS.

Ooops. Reading comprehension isn't equipped currently.sangreal said:

Okay. Didn't read that despite the fact that I quoted it. No, it doesn't look like the prerendered stuff in NG. The Ryu model looks a little more filled-out, though. And regardless of how it's upgraded, I'm gonna get it. Can't help myself with this game.

Looks awesome!
for the DS!

Expecting Capcom to keep to their promise is being unrealistic?

Is there an opportunity to complain that scans of screenshots of an incomplete build are graphically disappointing for what I expect from next-gen? If there is, I'M THERE.

Nobody feels like talking about PS2 games on a day like this. Oh yes, I went there.

I want to play this because the concept sounds cool. Not gonna do well with the visual-obsessed modern gamer, though.duckroll said:Culdcept Saga:
Get the series localized for us English-only folks and I'll care.Hey how come no one is talking about those awesome totally next-gen Super Robot Wars XO scans I posted?
In the context of actually thinking it was perfectly achievable, yeah. In the context of holding them to it, not at all. But thats neither here nor there. I was referring to how since MTV'05 our expectations took a sharp declineMagicpaint said:
Anyhoo, compared with the CG, sure its disappointing. Compared to other next-gen games? No goddamn way.

What on that scan looks like this?
Wait for some direct-feed NGS pics before you start comparing. DMC4 really doesn't look any better than this.

I see a glaring lack of shaders, bad texture filtering and an awful lot of textures simulating polygons, not to mention the pre-baked lighting. It's like Lost Planet: very tightned and polished previous gen tech with a few modern touches here and there. I am sure it will look much better in movement, just like LP does, but only because of the finely tuned effects like motion blur and its good artistic direction.Striek said:
DMC4 may look decent, but "next gen graphics" are nowhere to be seen. This is something being shown by quite a few Japanese developers so far.

Not to start anything, but it sounds like you already made up for mind. You say wait for the direct feed shots before comparing, but then you go ahead and compare saying NG looks about the same. Color me confused.

The different of graphic style. Ninja Gaiden try to make everything polish and plastic while Devil may cry focus more on effect and special motion. The camera angle also made ninja gaiden look my stylish than DMC in screenshot. That's only about the differnt in presentation both game use. I won't say DMC has better graphic or anything just because I like DMC graphic style more, that 's radiculous.

To sum up both NG and DMC4, they both should look alot better than they do.
Fair points. Actually I'm in agreeance with most of it, when you start analysing it and breaking it down. The overall affect of the screenshots isn't really diminished by what you have pointed out though IMO. I have this feeling with LP as well. And well, every next-gen game seems to be taking a few shortcuts, and I'm particularly glad with this because IQ is seemingly great without sacrificing too much detail. I think its a happy balance.Funky Papa said:
That and I just recently replayed DMC3 which is...rapidly aging, to say the least.

Agreed.
O.M.G, White Knight Story looks absolutely phenomenal!! What's up with the folks crapping on the technical merits of the game based on these uber tiny real time pics? For one, the character models are freakin' incredible and look exactly like CGI:
And two, unlike the other next gen RPG's we've seen, WKS isn't a bunch of rooms seperated by load screens, it's massive environments that may or may not even be streamed ala RG for no loading ever.
On the above scan, the two screens in the top right look straight up like CG, and the two battle pics at the bottom -- the one on the left and the one in the top middle -- look at the detail in the trees and the insane draw distance!
I think this will blow some people away come the weekend if we get a trailer.

NGS is just a cash-grab enhanced conversion from last gen for Tecmo while Capcom's DMC4 is built-for next-gen game. Not sure what that says... And I think DMC4 looks pretty good...but, like DOA4/DOAX2 (from what I've seen) the adherence to a particular visual style keeps it from really coming across to next-gen the way they could.SolidSnakex said:
