I'm really looking forward to this, of course, but I must admit that I would love to see Team Ninja update their tech somewhat. Devil May Cry 4 looks a whole lot more impressive than Gaiden 2.

Still, it looks good enough for what it is and we all know the game will rock.

The lightning is really outdated, thats the weakest point here. Overall looks ok (from a gfx standpoint) .

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Removing any and all bias I have against Ninja Gaiden, the enemy design is fucking terrible.

I agree; the series is fucking fun and all gameplay-wise, but the artwork, jolly gosh.

Lighting looks allot better during actual gameplay, but screenshots don't capture it so well.

I've seen it. It's basically the same as other Team Ninja games (DOA4 and Sigma look very similar).

When you compare that to something like DMC4 with high quality HDR, tone mapping, fully dynamic shadows, etc. it really looks dated.

Why does it look like NG2 is using UE3? Obviously it isn't, but some of the shaders look like they were pulled straight from gears...

It looks nothing like UE3, though. UE3 relies heavily on texture effects and shaders while NG2 uses lots of geometry instead.

Not digging the look but that doesn't really matter in the scheme of things.

When hubris and monkeys are both used to describe humans in a single cutscene you've got something great.

That level looks massive! And there is even water (or some stuff) running down from the rocks!

Looks better than DMC4 imo.
