Ninja Gaiden 2 GDC demo impressions *wow*

Just watched the Ninja Gaiden 2 GDC demo, and wow am I impressed,

The first thing I noticed was the graphical update this game got, even though its only 3/5 done the game looks and plays solid, and I expect the graphics to be polished at the end of the games development. The musical score was top notch and had a battle like theme. The background had a massive draw distance, and hundreds of demons flying around. The level design was great as expected, a huge underground hellish cave, trees made of bone, far off cliffs and ledges with many obsticales.

When the fighting or should I say slaughter began, it was extremly fast paced, sometimes the camera could barely keep up, it seemed every part of the enemy could be realistically cut apart. The gameplay looked very tactical, requiring split second timing. The only thing I didn't like was some of the new weapons, like the dual batons, and I wish the dilarabhro was back.

But overall the game looks solid. and left me a happy gamer. mark this one on your calenders

I can't wait to play the demo. I believe it'll be available hopefully by this weekend or in a week or so.

Yeah they will, if you knew anything about graphics you would know that the graphics are the last things the devs work on.

BTW its runs at 60 FPS.

What? dual batons were awesome.

And yeah, the environments were stunning

i can't wait for NG2 gonna be sooooooooooooooo good

Ninja Gaiden Black had the best console graphics of last generation.

:cry:

teh blood made my wii cry

My impression:

Much, much better-looking (at the moment) story: check

Stunning setting and enimies: check

Cool Combos and more robust combos: Check

Ryu being a bad***: check

This game is going to rock.

Demo coming out sooner than you think. Look around on the Xbox Marketplace and you'll notice a not-yet-selectable NG2 demo as part of the upcoming games. To find it got to the marketplace tab and look up "spotlight". Go up to the GDC banner and then drill down and find the tab for new game annoucements. Under NG2 you can see the gameplay video and a upcoming demo. Currently the tab list it as coming soon which will ultimate mean by the end of this week.

I can't wait to play the demo. I believe it'll be available hopefully by this weekend or in a week or so.

I Think i need to change my underwear after watching that.

Yes.

Ninja Gaiden II will probably be my personal game of the year; the combats looks so amazing and that demon dude at the end of the demo was badass and it looks like it has great enemy variety.Mutatedbloodelf

same, PGOTY for me. I just have a feeling it's going to get mixed reviews; and the bad ones will probably be because of the difficulty or becaquse it's too gory, something stupid like that. The boss battles are going to be epic.

The games going to be fun, but I still dont think its enough of an improvement over the original. black_awpN1

Dude, excellent sig, funny! However, I've gotta say Vegas2 isn't going to show much improvement over it's counter part, NG2 is going to surpass it's predecessor and again be the beacon it once was on the original xbox!

What the hell are you talking about? The graphics of NG were the best of last gen..

NG2 looks fine by my standards, you're clearly just an idiot.

lol at sig, TC.

NG2 has a june release now, right? Its gonna be sweet.

The only thing NG ever needed was a proper plot, and by the look of things, this one seems to have one..adding that to the gameplay, hard-as-nail AI, and improved combo system with new weapons as well as real time weapon change..oh and lets not forget about the improvement in graphics since the first gameplay demo we saw...just....wow.

I've never hyped a game while at the same time being serious about it, but I'm going toseriously hype this a very solid AAA.

you could never live through the nes snes generation,where u had one healt point and U died and had to restart the entire level, games have gotten so easy that they are spoiling new generations.
