Ninja Gaiden 2: Ryu's back and this time he's brought his scythe...

Team Ninja's figurehead Tomonobu Itagaki knows how to work an audience, but Xbox 360 World UK forgive him for his cryptic, controversial and occasionally downright bizarre media snippets because this fella also knows how to create the best fighting games on the planet. Welcome to the 360 exclusive that's going to rip out PS3 Ninja Gaiden Sigma's throat.

Right now, I don't care about gameplay, story or design. It's blood and gore time. Pure bloody fun. Can't wait for some bloody gameplay in good qualiy.

socomnick6013d ago

well said m8 Thats the reason im buying Soldier of Fortune.

MK_Red6013d ago

Completely agreed. Soldier of Fortune Payback is also a day 1 purchase for me. Blood and gore (In games) FTW!

n4iru6013d ago

Looking forward to Ninja Gaiden sigma 2 also.

Danja6013d ago

hmm why would someone compare Sigma to NG:2..? thats just dumb..ne ways good they have another exclusive which probably won't sell that well ne ways to there list..!!..the 360 need as much exclusive as possible cuz 2008 is looking bleak..!!

socomnick6013d ago

? Name an exclusive on the Xbox 360 that has not sold that well I find it hard to believe there is one.

Danja6013d ago (Edited 6013d ago )

uhh Viva la Paniata....Blue Dragon...??

MK_Red6013d ago

It's more than tragic that not many people bought Viva Pinata. The game's kinda childish looked fooled many but inside, Viva Pinata was an excellent sim game and the art and graphics were more than beautiful.
But hey, there are always great games that people ignore and go buy next Madden and DS pet game instead. Even on a popular system like PS2, a masterpiece like Okami didn't sell much. (Same goes for Indigo Prophecy and Psychonauts, both multiplatform gems).

Evil0Angel6013d ago (Edited 6013d ago )

HALO3 :sold in 1 WEEK over 3.3 M.that is more than the following gmaes combained
Resistance + Heavenlyswored+ MotorStorm +Warhawk + Lair(that all PS3 FIRST PARTY AAA exculsives) the same apply for Gears of WAR which sold around 4M copies.
DeadRising=over 1M
LostPlanet=over 1M

========================
there is loads of AAAAAAA titles i cannot wait to play in 2008 like KZ2/TooHuman/AlanWake/FF13 /GTA4/Saintrow2..but NINJA GAIDEN 2 is basicly my most anticpated game IN 2008

2ND most antcipated games is APB

ericnellie6013d ago

You're entitled to your opinion, I just feel bad because all you've got to play is RfoM, Motorstorm, and Lair! Have fun with that;)

poopface16012d ago

Im looking foward to this game imensly ans NG on xbox was my favorite game not halo. This game will sell tons as they will be pushing this game much harder that the origional. You can tell because of the amount of people in Halo 3 using the Ryu armor that microsoft is thinking of new ways to advertise. And also the 360 sells way more software than other systems not just because of the userbase but also the high attach rate. So to thik this game wont sell is not very smart as I know many people that believe NG was xbox 1s best game and not halo ar any other game. This Is THE MAIN REAson I bought my 360, and this game looks like it will excede my expectations.

Spike476013d ago

but....

do i really want that game when so many other games that are better are coming out?

same thing goes with littlebigplanet and infamous.

interesting games but I gotta pass on them to buy gta4, mgs4,ff13,etc.

mesh16013d ago

dont worry is xbox exclusive and is better than the games u mentioned.

solidt126013d ago

Mesh1 if you think Ninja Gaiden 2 will be better than any of the Grand theft Auto and Metal Gear Series games then you are Delusional. Im sure I am not the only one who thinks that. Anyway Ninja Gaiden 2 will still be a great game.

poopface16012d ago

I agree with him that NG was one of my favorite games ever and I liked it more than MGS2, so I Do believe this game will be better than those games as well. GTA4 looks awsome but there are comparable games (kinda), but not many that can even come close to NG1 let alone what NG2 is gonna be.

Charlie26886013d ago

Damn i have yet to play the original in any form cuz I dont know if to buy the Black version and use it on the 360 right now or hopefully get a PS3 on Christmas and buy Sigma

ParaDise_LosT6013d ago (Edited 6013d ago )

Don't buy black xD
Sigma = remake of Black
Anyway...

Ninja Gaiden 2 is gonna kick Ass!
Limbs flying through the air
Blood gushing out hacked bodies
Ripping flesh from bone with scythes and swords

Itagaki may be full of himself, but he makes Great games
More gore please More Gore!!! >:D

WIIIS16013d ago

From now till then, I'll be practising my skillz on Sigma.

DarkOcelet2988d ago

I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.

Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.

I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.

Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme

One of my proudest trophies :)

skcej2988d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku772987d ago (Edited 2987d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19842988d ago

I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13292d ago (Edited 3292d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773292d ago (Edited 3292d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3292d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3292d ago (Edited 3292d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113292d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

rawrock3292d ago

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

freshslicepizza3292d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3292d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773292d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3292d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3292d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3292d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3292d ago

Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.

I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
