You know this isn't the final right? It's like the early version of it. Itagaki done said it will look way better then NGS and his fans will be happy with it.

I bet it looks a lot better in motion ^^

I remember seeing early vids of NG and thinking it couldnt look better. but the final game did:D

If anybody can pull that off it's Itagaki. Altough personally I'd be happy with graphics as good as Sigma. They look good enough for me:)

Wouldn't bet too much on that. History shows when Team Ninja Shows something it usually means that on the graphic side of things are kinda final. First uveling of DOA 3, Ultimate, and Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox looked dead on with the final product. Team Ninja kinda of lost there "wow" factor when it comes to graphics this gen. Dosn't mean the games are bad it just seems they platued in the grapchical department. Probaly should reserve judgement till the Tokoy Game Show when we will all hopefully see more. This is just speculation after seeing there last three games.

Anyways glad to see it's a new game If i saw Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the 360 or another remake I would just plain stop caring about the series.

Doesn't even look superior than ninja gaiden sigma, imo. I wasn't expected the graphics to be "mind blowing" team ninja games were never breathtaking in the graphic department.

Say hello to an instant controller breaker of a game that only 5 people on the planet earth will be able to finish. I would rather be shot in the ass than have to deal with how aggravatingly difficult the first Ninja Gaiden was.

ahhh jesus christ come on now! I dont want to sound like the pretentious tough hardcore gamer, but you are a casual gamer if you cant finish Ninja Gaiden 1 on normal. I just requires patience, something that you probably dont have. After the first 4-5 levels you'll get used to it and suddenly start enjoying it. You should really give NG another shot, its really one of the greatest action games ever...

Yea, right. it's called bad game design. Ikaruga is an example of excellent game design. Yes, the game is damned hard. But you know what? at no time does the game ever feel impossible. It only encourages you to do better, and rewards you when you do. As such, I can almost clear the first stage without a single death on my own in Normal, and have reduced my dying percentage to maybe one or two times in a stage (except for the very final, but that's mostly because I blow it on the final boss). Ninja Gaiden is hard for the sake of being hard, and insults you for not being being able to hit those buttons at the precise nanoseconds it wants you to. If you're not killing enemies within the first five seconds of encountering them, it penalizes you. And you could spend a whole DAY of non-stop play retrying against a boss in the game in an exercise of futility, because even when you think you have the pattern down, the boss will whore itself out to ensure you die many more times than it ever will. Ninja Gaiden is almost as bad as Ghosts 'n Goblins for the NES... with the exception that Ninja Gaiden at least doesn't make you go all the way back to the very beginning to get some stupid weapon you forgot and then makes you play from beginning to end AGAIN to get the "true" ending of the game.


Try playing DMC3, ninja gaiden is a walk in the park compared to getting 3 shot in DMC3.

Oh god, why'd you have to remind me? I still don't even know how to beat that damned Cerberus boss, and it doesn't help that even when I am careful, I still don't have enough of those orbs in the game to buy any of the cooler moves that I would have needed. :(

That just means they didn't choose to animate the eyes blinking or shutting for the body model. Haven't you played those early PS1 games (and n64 games for that matter), where you could dismember an enemy? Their eyes stay just as open as when you first encounter them, too.

Anyone who has problems with the graphics are expecting too much and probably sit on their butts playing these great games all day not realizing how much effort and time is spent on making them, and then they turn around and nit pick at every little thing they disapprove of. It's rediculous.

The graphics will get better (remember halo 3 first leaked shots?) Halo 3 used halo 2 engine until after the gameplay mechanics were nailed down. THEN they upped the graphics. The same goes for this game I'm sure, but if not, who cares.

Try playing DMC3, ninja gaiden is a walk in the park compared to getting 3 shot in DMC3.

I guess I'm in the minority when I say I didnt think either game was particularly difficulty. Sure there were moments that flared my temper like that maze and spining tower sequence in DMC3 and the anoying platforming and ghost fish in Ninja Gaiden. Now Viewtiful Joe that is a hard Game.

Again I played the first Ninja Gaiden and the Special Edition of DMC3 rumor has it that NG Black was harder and the original DMC3 was also harder then the specal editon.
