Ninja Gaiden 2 GDC images and trailer

after watching the video on XBL, honestly it looks amazing. the stuff going on on the screen is just wtf. and the temple you see in the distance at the beginning? yeah u go there.
 
That level alone has more of a demonic feel than all of DMC4 levels put together. I love DMC4 but the demonic atomsphere just wasn't there like DMC 1 and 3 had.

Lunar w/ ball and chain?

Video has a God of War vibe in terms of environment, just so huge - on such a big scale! Hype for NG2 x1000.

Watching the vid, I couldn't help to think in Heavenly sword, youd be pressing X, O, X to cross that bridge. :lol
 
I've watched this about 20 times now, plus I spent about an hour playing The Dishwasher...

I had the biggest grin while watching this trailer, and said "oh shit" quite a bit in-between the video here and there...

In other words, the video kicked ass. All sorts of ass.

The view of the level is huge and epic, the enemies are huge and they come running in from a mile away, there's hundreds of winded demons circling ahead, there's like five tall fiends with a chainsaw for one arm and a cannon for another - and a gigantic demon looming on the top of a tall pyramid/monument at the end of the path...

Does that phase the lone Ryu Hayabusa?

Hell no.

He just plows through everyone - decapitating, smashing, slicing, incinerating everyone in his path to get to the head honcho at the end...

So. Badass.

June will be a celebration for me - the month that my king of action comes out...

Seriously, my GOTY 2008 will contain a fierce, gore-filled battle between NG2 and Gears of War 2...

My only disappointment was how bad the compression was on the trailer - I guess it was done to lighten the file size - oh well - it was still the best 5 minutes of action I seen in ages...

I'm not going to bother spending too much time on same couple of guys that come in to say the same crap over and over again (no, not dark10x), that gets a bit tiring after a while...

And I read about the "coming soon" for the NG2 demo - the day that hits, everything else will have to be cleared in my schedule - that is all...

And oh yeah, the tonfas are siiiiick!

??? What's happening to gamers today? :-(

Those aren't gamers - that's the answer...

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.
60fps, HDR, 4xMSAA!? Old tech!?
These shadows look a hell of a lot better than DMC4's 'chunk-o-shadow-maps'. Not to mention, unlike NGS & DOA4 there is actual self-shadowing.
Consider me impressed.
:D
 
weapons so far:

--Tonfa
--Lunar with spikes at the end
--Dragon Sword
--Claws


What else is there? I forget if the two swords for Sigma are in. and is there a regular Lunar as well?

I love how insane they went with the weapons though. I'll take sharp things over weird lasers and guns any day ;)

Why's that? Is it because Sigma's not on the 360?

it's because Sigma doesn't look as good as this. why is there a console fanboy subtext to everything on this site. A lot of people don't care about consoles. it's all about games.

this Lunar is probably not a separate weapon but an upgrade.

and the scythe.

yeah the two swords are in, you can see them in action in a trailer they released awhile ago.

the new stage looks SICK, june is the perfect month for me thats when Im getting a 360.
 
Well, I'm another one who's not that impressed w/ graphics. By no means it looks poor (quite opposite). But what I've seen, I'm quite excited to play this game - probably my most wanted game in 2008 by a mile over any other games in schedule including MGS4 and all!

There are games that I'd like to "see", and there are games that I'd like to get my hands on. This is more of the latter, which I'm perfectly okay w/. :)
