Ninja Gaiden 2 GDC images and trailer

Well one thing certain is that unlike DMC4, I won't have to use custom soundtrack straight away. Music in DMC 4 just like DMC 2 and 3 is atrocious.
 
It looks good enough for what it is. I wasn't exactly expecting much graphically anyway. The best thing about this so far is the gameplay recording feature.

NG1 is one of my favorite games, but seriously, if Genji can have real-time weapon change, why the fuck can NG1 not?

They would have to change the enemy AI to compensate and it seems that Itagaki is unwilling to do that.
 
Aspects of NG2 rendering appeal more to me than DMC4, but NG2 needs to upgrade the lighting and shadowing even last gen it sucked in comparison to other titles on the platform and elsewhere. Texturing is clean but they could really make it more dynamic. Good to see environments and modeling are still solid overall same for the sensation of speed in which I don't see how there's a debate that DMC4 can compete.

Can you smell it?

The smell of win.

chainsaw wielding zombie-fiends called, they smelled something similiar but weren'r sure since their heads, and hence their noses were mising.
 
I think they have quite a bit of work to do to make it look as good as DMC 4, but hey, with it looking worst maybe they can fit more than 10 different locals on an Xbox disc ;) However dismemberment makes up for it.

Great, they've gotten someone that knows decent English to write the script, unlike DMC4. That boss looks badass.

Jesus, I have to agree, that one boss was presented as a more intimidating enemy than the entire cast of DMC4 bosses thrown together. Doubt we'll get any Shakespeare here though :(
 
As long as we're comparing it to DMC4... I only played the demo but I'm sure I'm not the only one that left extremely unimpressed, graphics and otherwise. I have a soft spot for Sigma, though, even though I can't play it for more than 20 minutes.

Corny. Passive-aggressively corny.
 
Ok, people saying this looks ugly. Get the fuck out.

I started watching the movie, i'm at the zombies with chainsaw part, and have you seen the scope of the level? Fuck heavenly sword, that's all i'm saying.

This shit looks like pure badassary waiting to rape you and your family when you connect that controller.

Well put.

NGII is going to shit on DMC4.
 
NG2 and DMC4 are both awesome. It's possible to like both.

On that note...

YES YES ALL OVER AW YEAH THAT'S IT!

Those of you trying to call this game 'ugly?' you're only fooling yourself. And doing a rather poor job of it, I'd imagine, because you consistently harp on the same tired points, most of which hold no worth in a rational discussion.

I don't know about other people (who are probably just offshoots of the console warz which I don't care about) but I do think it looks ugly because I hate the design.
 
Just saw a bit more of the video. You gotta take this shit slow or you have a heart attack.

I noticed another thing, the budget definitely seems to have gone up, as not only the scale is different visually, but the music seems to be much more impressive and grand than whatever music existed in Ninja Gaiden that i don't even seem to recall.

Heck did Ninja Gaiden even have music? I can't remember it :lol

I really can't remember it, so weird.

Just finished. Man, i hate to do this, since i'm a DMC fan too, but as much as i loved finishing DMC4, this videos made me more hyped for NG2 than i ever was for DMc4.

NG2, from this video, seems to have improved the camera ALOT, the 3d camera was working great here, and that cut scene was really awesome too, i was surprised that the cut scene was actually appealing to me, awesome.

Can't wait man, really can't wait.

Im only at the forest but DMC 4 isnt some graphical powerhouse. Hell, Dead Rising and Lost Planet looked better.
Click to expand...
Neither Dead Rising or Lost Planet was 60 fps, what the hell?
 
Oh SNAP @ demo tab for NG2. Demo in the next few days? Demo seemed to be on an easier difficulty, which sucks since I wanted to see more enemy moves. Looked beautiful though.
 
Video was pretty awesome. The screen tearing was a little worrisome, I just hope it's minimized or gone in the final version.

Thoughts-- the chainsaw demons seem like a shout-out to the continue screen from the NG arcade game--

Gotta love how Ryu just brushes off the chainsaw from his chest, as if the demon were trying to give him a noogie or something. :lol


And I like the upgrade on the Lunar...if that is the Lunar staff :o

Can not fucking wait for the demo. Please be here in time for the weekend!!!!

Btw the video on XBL is terribly compressed. Compression artifacts all over the place.

Yeah, I was gonna say...did they get a retarded monkey to do the transfer?

seriously. just the scope of that shot made me change my drawers. i'm sitting in my bedroom, by myself, and actually said, "oh hell yes."

Yea what's the details on that? Demo tomorrow?
 
Just watched the video.

Ryu is such a badass.

Even a chainsaw to the chest can't keep him down!

The draw distance in the demo level is amazing. Wow.
 
Oh Jesus Christ this looks great! The only thing that could possibly make this game more complete would be an equippable Flying V.

(Also, I hope this game is region-free, 'cause I know it is going to be banned in Australia!)
 
DMC looked better than LP. Also I don't see why people have a huge issue with the metal design of the monsters, serious art in a game when Ninjas battle werewolves would be wasted, where as having both a cannon and gun arms just adds to the awesome.

Beyond that did anyone notice Itagaki is so awesome he gets his own difficulty mode where everything bleeds health orbs, if anyone were to see his true ability in master ninja mode (or even Ninja Dog) they'd be so disheartened knowing no mortal could ever reach that level they wouldn't be able to purchase the game or give Itagaki they money due to their newly eternal shame.
 
I noticed they added a unique sound effect for when your guard is broken (at 0:58 and various other spots in the video).
 
just so awesome...first DMC4...now NG2...and I don't even have to buy a 2nd system like last gen to play em. This is beautiful *Teary eye*

Game looked fantastic...and 60FPS ^_^
 
YES. Devil May Cry a fucking river.

I was worried this game wasn't going to be that great judging the pre-GDC content.

Demo fucking saves it.
 
anyone not planning on pooping their pants is advised not to watch the video.

i had this already penciled into my schedule, and so it was an inconsequential warning on me
