This is not a bust on 360, I have a 360 and love it. The graphics in most games are really good. But Ninja Gaiden 2 looks like Ninja Gaiden 1. The graphics look flat, it looks like NG1 bumped up in HD.

I totally agree. You'd think that the developer who made last gen's best console graphics could do better than that. Been resting too much on their laurels, if you ask me.

They aren't that bad, but they're not good. To that kid above, NG2 does not look better than MGS4. MGS4 is actually one of the best looking games.

I agree the graphics could have been better and I expected more from Team Ninja this gen, but Xbox 1 level graphics in HD? No.

the first ninja guiden looks excellent for orginal x-box graphics it looks good enough to be 360. the next one looks a little better but its still good enough, i know you point you expect the 2nd one to take the max of the 360 like the first one tool the max of the orginal x-box

wait.... how did we go from talking about NG2 to MGS4? Silly fanboys, get your heads out. This wasn't a comparrison thread. the OP even said "this isn't a knock on the 360", so why does someone always have to take it personally, and try to "counter attack"?

Well its not the best looking game. But, it looks really good. Maybe you just have standards that are too high. I mean saying that NG2 or MGS4 look "horrible" just makes you look stupid. Just becuase something isn't the best doesn't make it "horrible". NG2 looks better than a lot of games, not the best, but pretty d*** good :D!

are you kidding? NG2 looks better than DMC4.

And it runs at 60FPS...something essential for NG2. Graphcis still look great, you're just talking out of your ass.

Looks fine to me :| then again Im not going to judge it on screen shots, a game like this needs to been judged when you see just how much it throws on screen and how fast the action is.

Have people really become graphics whores this generation. Seriously NG2 has next gen graphics. They might not be the best but graphics don't only make a game. Some of you i wonder if you are truly gamers or just people that like to look at things.

Care to explain? NG2 has way more going on screen and the action is much faster. Heck the gif in my sig alone looks better than anything I've ever seen in DMC4.

NG2 may not be the technical marvel it's predecessor was when it was released, but I'm still expecting a great hardcore action game with a buttery-smooth framerate. We really have no idea what's in store until we play the game in person though, do we?

It's not a massive improvement over the original, like Halo 2 to Halo 3.

Then again, the original Ninja Gaiden was a technical marvel.

No.

I don't know, I think both NG2 and MGS4 are pretty underwhelming visually.

And that's pretty odd considering that these franchises set the bar for visuals last gen.

I agree, Most Japanese developers have fallen behind when it comes to techincal visuals compared to many of the western ones, it's pretty much only Capcom that's still in the race.

Had to chime in. A couple of people in this thread were praising DMC4 graphics. Did you forget about the godawful flickering shadows? How about the fact that there are TONS of invisible walls making for very small gameplay areas. NG2 will be more open than DMC4. Sure, it will still be linear, but the environments you can explore will surely be bigger. DMC4 had small gameplay environments with a ridiculous amount of invisible walls.

I think it looks great, not the king but awesome nonetheless especially at 60 FPS. I think Cows and Lems are getting a little too spoiled on the graphics argument

Ninja Gaiden Black

Ninja Gaiden 2

Ninja Gaiden 2 does look better, no denying it. However going from this to 3 years later into the next console and this is all you can do, call me un-impressed.
