The most beautifully bloody game of all time?

by Hilary Goldstein

September 14, 2007 - I am a hardcore Ninja Gaiden fan. I've beaten the game in its multiple forms four times. For my money, Ninja Gaiden Black is the greatest action game of all time. So when I had the opportunity to see ten minutes of Ninja Gaiden 2 in action, I was more than a little psyched. Consider this a friendly warning. If you hated Ninja Gaiden you will not care for anything written below; if you loved NG, then you will leave this article with fewer wrinkles in your pants. Though the demo shows little more than a series of fights, one thing is clear: Ninja Gaiden 2 turns the knob to 11.

Ninja Gaiden 2 has been built on a completely new engine
that promises to maximize the 360's capabilities. Ninja Gaiden 2 creator Tomonobu Itagaki stated during the demo that there were "10 or 20 features we weren't able to implement" in the Xbox version of Ninja Gaiden. With the 360, many of these mystery features are being added to Ninja Gaiden 2. Itagaki also noted that the game is very far along in development. In fact, there were eight selectable stages in the demo.

Set in a Venetian-like city called "Aqua Castle," the demo has Ryu back in action, clad in the same costume he wore on Xbox. The action is just a touch faster than on Xbox, an amazing feat considering how quickly things moved in Ninja Gaiden Black. From first glance, everything seems very familiar. It's Ryu going apespit on some ninja. If nothing else, the action is considerably more brutal than before. Gloriously so. Ryu decapitates an enemy, then drives his sword into his chest and proceeds to hack him apart.


It appears (from the numerous limbs flying off enemies) that every appendage is now able to be lopped off, creating a mess of body parts littering the battleground. Blood splashes on the ground and the walls like a splatterhouse film. As Ryu battles, blood accumulates on his weapon. Only after a room is cleared will he shake the blood from his blade with one swift swipe.

The demo is really just a sequence of increasingly more difficult skirmishes as Ryu makes his way through the city. But each battle leaves the world more or less in ruin. One battle takes place near some fruit stands. When all is said and done, the stands are in splinters, the fruit smashed. And, of course, there are a whole lot of dead enemies.

Two new weapons make their debut in the demo. First comes the scythe. This oversized weapon would seem like it should offer slow attacks, like Rachel's hammer. Not the case. Ryu cleaves enemies with brilliant speed using this imposing new weapon. The other weapon are a pair of tri-clawed gloves. Yes, that's right, Ryu becomes Wolverine. As you'd expect, the gloves allow for quick attacks that are up close and very personal. Of course, the gloves have almost no range, which will likely prove a disadvantage against some enemies.

After dispatching many nameless ninja, Ryu comes across the military faction, which proved troublesome in the last game. Well, if you found them difficult before, it looks like they will be even tougher in Ninja Gaiden 2. Two military types were shown in the demo. We saw the return of the RPG-toting grunts and the standard submachine gun-carrying foot soldiers. The RPGs appear about as challenging as in the past, but now have a gorgeous smoke plume that rivals Lost Planet for visual awe. It's the foot soldiers that were the most improved. These guys are brutal now and take no mercy on Ryu. Multiple times in the demo, the foot soldier knocked Ryu to the ground and unloaded a full clip into his chest.

To deal with tougher foes, Ryu uses one of his new Ninpo. What is essentially a Tornado Ninpo, the new magic power sweeps up enemies and debris, flinging them around. The tornado also picks up the abandoned limbs on the ground, so arms and heads fly through the air. It's sick. Wonderfully sick.

Selecting weapons and Ninpo should be easier in NG 2. Where you used to have to pause and go to a menu to switch weapons, you can now do so on the fly. It looks like you will use the D-Pad to scroll through Ninpo and weapons. With the action moving as fast as it does in Ninja Gaiden, you probably won't be able to juggle an enemy with one weapon, switch to another and finish them off. But at least you won't have to kill the flow of the game altogether by going to a menu screen to switch weapons between fights.

After finishing off the military contingent, Ryu continues deeper into the city. Two winged demons, easily twice Ryu's size, appear. They are both dead within five seconds. No sooner does the second body fall then we are faced with our first boss battle. There's a rumbling and then the boss appears. It's a large creature just as much spider as it is man. It's hideous and it means business. And that's where the demo ends.

The demo was just a taste of Ninja Gaiden 2. No wall-running or other acrobatic feats were shown. From what was displayed, it appears NG2 won't stray too far from the original's formula -- lots of arena-****combat and larger-than-life boss battles. In many ways it is more of the same. But that's more of the same awesomeness.

Ninja Gaiden 2 ships exclusively for Xbox 360 in 2008.

Of course it's a new engine...I already spoke on this yesterday...

[QUOTE="ForTheNguyen"][QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"]

[QUOTE="chikenfriedrice"]cows are on damage control.....the game doesn't even come out for a year....they act like it's finished and releasing next weekHarden_hawk

Sort of like when lemmings say Killzone 2 looks bad?

exactly, lemmings am sad.

stop saying ng2 looks better than ngs bc it doesn't. of course ng2 has a long ways to go

It looks alot better.

NO...

**Edit**

Ryu on xbox360 looks like an over-plasticy cartoon action figure, on PS3 he looks like a real man...just like all the other games on these systems are starting to show the real diffrence in their power.

Xbox360 = good at creating over plasticy and unrealistic worlds, people and basically everything else

PS3 = good at creating realistic People environments and worlds with advanced lighting physics and animation

After further insection, I've come to the conclusion that NG2 infact dose NOT look like NGS at all.

NG2 on the xbox360 has a way more cartoony look than NGS. NGS on PS3 has a way more realistic look and atpmoshere than what's being shown on xbox360 for NG2. LOOK FOR YOUR SELF!

I know they looked diffrent befor but I just couldn't put my finger on it. But now, after my last post, it's clear to me!

What...YOU mad?

I'm just poiting out the fact that I'm a sony fan and I had already made the discovery that the graphics were not the same by doing a comparison with my eyes...before you made this thread.

I really don't care how you feel about it. I've seen you say Killzone 2 looks terrible, so that pretty much put you up there with the biggest fanboy trolls on this board.

Funny, I must havemissed that part of you article...could you quote that for me? :)

And the dude doing the previewseemed to bea pretty big NG fan too, surely if it looked better than sigma he'd say it alas...Anywayz who said I want to "stop it"? You clowns are funny I love games like this. I wouldn't even touch Heavely Sword if not for the amazing effort put in by the actors who play in the story.

I'm talking about graphics alone. I think the "game" itself will be awsome. Im a gamer first, but this is SYSTEM WARS. Maybe you shouold leave if you don't like it.

If Killzone 2 can get bashed, as amazing a console that looks,then so can anything else that's less impressive in comparison.

I know it's a whole bunch of you insecure xbox fans out there who feel the need to bash that game to no end, but does that make it any better?

Oh and again, you'd better look around buddy. You're in SYSTEM WARS. If you want to make Pro xbox posts that aren't bashed or rediculed you'd better head over to the official xbox 360 fourm. I see you come in and bash almost every Pro PS3 thread ever made, you have no room to come in and b**** when someone else posts theirs.

You're not really bashing the 360, though. You're just making yourself look dumb.

I think this game will be amazing no doubt about it, but didnt itagaki say that he didnt want to show off ninja gaiden 2 because he didnt want to embarrass all the other developers with the graphics of ninja gaiden 2? If so then why does it look so cartoony and why doesnt it impress us graphically? The Ninja Gaiden series is awesome but I think Itagaki sometimes talks alot of crap and doesnt back it up. And to the guy who showed the pictures from ninja gaiden sigma vs ninja gaiden 2, im sorry but ninja gaiden sigma looks alot more impressive graphically then what we have seen in ninja gaiden 2. I think its early and ninja gaiden 2 will look much better when it is done, but will it be able to run in 1080p, 60fps, and have self shadowing all at the same time like they did in ninja gaiden sigma? This game will be awesome but im still dissappointed in the graphics. Hope it looks tons better then it does now because heavenly sword graphically makes this game look like garbage.

:shock: it's a fact that right now visually NG2 on xbox360 looks like a more cartoony version of whatis a more realistic looking game in it's predicessor (NGS)on the PS3.

Or can you not tell from the screen shots from each gamein this thread? :lol: lol emmings are really blind. And they say killzone 2 looks bad? I think NG2 will be awsome, but visually, right now this game aint breacking any barriers.

:shock: it's a fact that right now visually NG2 on xbox360 looks like a more cartoony version of whatis a more realistic looking game in it's predicessor (NGS)on the PS3.

Or can you not tell from the screen shots from each gamein this thread? :lol: lol emmings are really blind. And they say killzone 2 looks bad? I think NG2 will be awsome, but visually, right now this game aint breacking any barriers.

U're posting the dev bullshots from sigma why u don't post the real ones? because it doesn't look like that,and u keep calling ur opinions facts :lol: we haven't even see the game in motion yet, u cows came here just to troll and damage controlling,its sad cows can't accept that ninja gaiden 2 is 360 exclusive and isn't coming to ps3 ;)

:| Those are real shots of Sigma. They just removed the hub. Here ya go..

and since you mention that the PS3 screens are Bullshots It must mean you think they are too good are you're making excuses for why your presious xbox360 isn't doing the same.In any case it just goes to serve you xbox mainacs right for trying to talk **** about Sigmas graphics in the first place...:lol: keep hoping for those upgrades. Itagaki's Idea for making new and better graphicsusing thexbox360 hardware= making a cartoony game engine with extra plasticy charicters!

HS was a FLOP, and the acting was mediocre :|

Yeah about a ton of people sure aren't going to agree with you. And you can't act in a video game. YOu can only VOICE act to animations.

THey are one of (if not) the best out there right now.

actually, you can... facial expressions are being captured and translated in to digital information. look at the "behind the scenes" videos.

And the flop stuff needs to quit... so childish.. it's a great game. all reporters agree on that.

Well then one of the programmers must have seriously screwed up one of Kai's animation timing because I saw a couple of parts where her animations were not moving to her voice at the right time.

Ya know what? I actually do.

I'd really like to see what they could do with the PS3 hardware now that've finally used it. Itagaki obviously couldn't use the PS3 engine for xbox360 (didn't want to look like he wasborrowing someone elses work...my guess, but it could also be techincal diffrences also) so he changed it and built an engine from the ground up for the xbox360.

But after 2 projects and over 2 years of experience working with the xbox360 hardware, I think we are were expecting something...more...out of NG2 with xbox360. At least in comparison to what lemmings said was a last gen engine with NGS..

I give you NG2 on xbox360

Looks Looks like Crackdown...

:P and about playing the game, I'm not worried I'll play it a few years down the line once xbox360's problems have gone away the both xbox360 and NG2 have bargan bin counter prices. I will play the game, but the graphics aren't what lemmings said they'd be.

Me selfowned? I think you might be the one doing that with the pictures you posted. Sigma looks far more realistic. If I had to compaire NG2 graphically to any game I've seen right now, I'd say it looks alotcloser to Crackdown by comparison.

In System Wars we judge by what's released regardless of wheather the game is finished or not and hype or criticize basedon what we have, or are we changing the rules now because it doesn't look good for a game that's on the xbox360?

Of course it's a new engine...I already spoke on this yesterday...

[QUOTE="Harden_hawk"][QUOTE="ForTheNguyen"][QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"]

[QUOTE="chikenfriedrice"]cows are on damage control.....the game doesn't even come out for a year....they act like it's finished and releasing next weekproof11102

Sort of like when lemmings say Killzone 2 looks bad?

exactly, lemmings am sad.

stop saying ng2 looks better than ngs bc it doesn't. of course ng2 has a long ways to go

It looks alot better.

NO...

**Edit**

Ryu on xbox360 looks like an over-plasticy cartoon action figure, on PS3 he looks like a real man...just like all the other games on these systems are starting to show the real diffrence in their power.

Xbox360 = good at creating over plasticy and unrealistic worlds, people and basically everything else

PS3 = good at creating realistic People environments and worlds with advanced lighting physics and animation

After further insection, I've come to the conclusion that NG2 infact dose NOT look like NGS at all.

NG2 on the xbox360 has a way more cartoony look than NGS. NGS on PS3 has a way more realistic look and atpmoshere than what's being shown on xbox360 for NG2. LOOK FOR YOUR SELF!

I know they looked diffrent befor but I just couldn't put my finger on it. But now, after my last post, it's clear to me!

Great job einstein. Judging a game by some leaked pictures. NG2 will look similar to NGS when it's done.

The only thing I've bashed about Halo 3 is it's animations. Same for Mass Effect. Still shots of those games look pretty...in motion, not so pretty.

Except, on 360 the blood has volume and not just a cloud on Ps3. The environments are obviously More Massive On 360 too.

NG2 looks exactly like Sigma, it only looks different to the fanboys of the respective system. It should look better since it's a maximum of 1 year away from launch.

Funny how that proof11102 guy is among the ones saying its using the same engine from Sigma now suddenly in regards to this post, Ninja Gaiden 2 looks a cartoon in comparison to Sigma. I can't stand shady people.

you act like these are finalised graphics. and i didn't say a word about Killzone2. you are a fanboy, you are jealous and you are pathetic.
