New info on Ninja Gaiden 2 in december EGM.

[WhatsHisFace]

Apparently there's a bunch of new Ninja Gaiden screens and they look awesome. Much better than the previous pics shown.

As far as info goes...

* Coming Spring 2008.
* Real world environments, Tokyo, Times Square, Venice
* Obliteration techniques. After removing a limb, press Y, the camera zooms in and Ryu goes ape**** with whatever weapons he's holding. What exactly happens depends on what weapon you're using and what part of the body you removed prior.
* Removed limbs stay on screen
* There's a rival super ninja who's supposed to "look badass" according to Itagaki
* Enemies have cooperative attacks
* No plans for multiplayer

Spring??? Sweet!!!

 

[Purple Prancer]

That means Winter 08

The after a period where only a small core group was working on the game, it's been under full development since October 2006 when DOAX went gold. I think it has a real shot of making Spring 2008.

I'd hate to see it slip to Winter 2008 because it will be too much to have Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2 and that new PoP game to play.

Scratch Gears of War 2 off the list to make it more manageable.

Gears of War is so much better than Half-Life 2 and it's expansions that I almost can't calculate all the dimensions.

 

[Zenien]

Your lack of taste boggles the mind.

 

[GFreeman]

nvm

Minerva, a free mod, made almost entirely by one man, is infinitely better (and even longer) than Gears. Yep.

 

[Zenien]

Like me.

Devil May Cry 4 is coming so who cares.

Exactly. Who cares about Devil May Cry 4? I sure don't. Emo heroes who are clones of the previous hero with some of the worst dialogue in videogaming history and placed into a game series that has been a continual disappointment since the start of the franchise.

 

[Zenien]

Nero isn't Emo, and it's a much better game then NG. A continual dissapointment? You must be talking about everything in NG that isn't the combat mechanics, you know, but they suck balls.

 

[GFreeman]

No it isn't. It's just easier.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought Ninja Gaiden Black received more critical acclaim than any game in the entire DMC series including the original. You'll have to excuse my mist... OH WAIT! Ninja Gaiden IS the higher critically acclaimed of the lot AND isn't in possession of the lamest game soundtrack of all time.

Oh Zenien, you almost had me.

The story, terrible as it is, is on par with DMC. The combat and graphics are way, way better. So why is DMC better again?

Aside from the facts that Zenien has awful taste and that DMC used to be a Sony-only franchise, I think Zenien just doesn't like Ninja Gaiden because it doesn't promote transsexualism like DMC does.

 

[Fenrir]

Ninja Gaiden is going to rape DMC, just like last time.

The combat is not way better, it's boring, and NG2 looks pretty so so compared to DMC4. Plus Devil May Cry 4 looks like its going actually step up in the story department.

What are we basing this off of exactly? So far two things have boggled my mind in this thread, the first being someone thinking Gears of Wars is better than HL2 and the second being DMC is better than Ninja Gaiden. Both of you have some problems with taste. I'm a fan of Gears, but its in no way better than Half Life 2.

 

[Zenien]

Personal experience, and the impression that NG2 looked like a Korean freeware game and not all that much better then NG Sigma.

 

[Jerry!]

The hypocrisy in this thread is crazy. We got Zenien saying that WHF has no taste because he said Gears is better than HL2, and then WHF says Zenien has awful taste because she/he says DMC is better than Ninja Gaiden, which then has WHF citing that its the most critically acclaimed game in its series, and much more so than DMC (which is true), but at the same time he ignores the fact that HL2 is one of the most critically acclaimed games of ALL TIME, some saying its the best shooter ever. So obviously its more than just personal experience.

 

[Zenien]

The original Devil May Cry has a higher game ranking then the Original Ninja Gaiden, and Black only has a higher game ranking by flipping 1.6 percent.

Hyprocracy again! DMC was only ahead of Ninja Gaidn (not black) by a FLIPPING 0.3 PERCENT!!!!!


I HAVE WON ARGUMENT ON INTERNET!!!!!!!

If NG2 looks like a Korean freeware game, DMC4 looks like a chinese-code-pirated N-Gage game.

Yes!! YESS!!!
