Ninja Gaiden II Hands-on by Gameplayer

Gameplayer has gone live with a hands-on preview of Xbox 360 exclusive release Ninja Gaiden II which talks about how the combat and gameplay unfolds.

"Everything rolls along at a smooth 60 frames per second with that Dead or Alive level of character detail and environment sheen. It's an impressive feat, especially when you see a dozen enemies on screen and returning hero Ryu Hayabusa carving through them at lightning speed."

Brian52475846d ago

No thanks. Give me MGS4, Killzone 2, LBP, Resistance 2, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy XIII.

St05845d ago

Is it 1080p like NGS on the PS3?

Pain5845d ago (Edited 5845d ago )

compared to Sigma YES!!!

there is "Just More" on and in Sigma from the size of the bricks on the the walls, the weapon effect details to the shine on everything.

I Look at NG2 and its like its Less in EVERYWAY DVD9 FTL

But Xbots will disagree cuz they BLIND and or Dumb, But i sooo care about xbots kids feelings...

7h3ultim8p005845d ago

Argh. Whatever man. Why do Sony fanboys always mention those SAME games in almost that exact same order? It gets really tiring. At least put KZ2 and LBP last or something, so my brain doesn't get bored reading the same predictable sh!t over and over.

ravinshield5845d ago

its more like MGS 3.5, Killzone 1.1, LBP, Resistance 1.5, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy XIII.

PSMonster215845d ago (Edited 5845d ago )

That was a GREAT ONE ravinshield. How long did it take you to think of that? Are all bots as dumb as you?

Rattles5846d ago

it would be pretty cool atleast it would sell on ps3.

BLaZiN PRopHeT5846d ago

do you dont think itll sell on the 360?

sonarus5846d ago

It will sell on the 360 just fine. But saying it is the game every sony fan wants is a little silly. I know tons of 360 owners who don't even know the game exists. Team ninja games don't sell too well anyway

wAtdaFck5846d ago

It would be nice to play it, but hey. A gamer wants a good game. I'm sure there are a few 360 fans out there who want to play God of War III.

BLaZiN PRopHeT5846d ago

@sonarus

Thats not true NG/NGB sold 1.5 million copies and DOA4 sold over 1 million

Ghoul5846d ago (Edited 5846d ago )

ninja gaiden was a great game. but thats it. its very hardcore with a weak story and deep gameplay mechanics.

but dont forget guys ninja gaiden is a xbox1 franchise. It was a nice addition to add sigma to the ps3 lineup so i guess there are quite a few ps3 only users out there that would want ninja gaiden 2 on the ps3 :D

Agriel5846d ago

I'm not sure the exact numbers for Sigma, but I have a feeling that the only reason it did as well as it did was the timing of the release. at the time there really wasn't a big game line up on the ps3, so Sigma probably got a bigger push then it would have normaly. If it was released this year with the line the ps3 has, I doubt a lot of Ps3 owners would even give it a 2nd look.

dan-boy5845d ago

because it's run-jump-hack-slash repeat over and over, they've made the games too hard to compensate for the complete lack of everything else! just like dmc, execpt the latter is pretty easy in comparison! both crap and both seriously overrated imo!

i notice it's another thread from gameplayer.com.au....i'm surprised this was put up, seeing as it's not bashing the 360.

dragunrising5845d ago

Your an idiot. Ninja Gaiden and its remix version Black sold far more than Sigma did. I don't have the source but I know for a fact that Sigma didn't sell over 500,000 copies. The Xbox versions sold at least 3 times as many if not more. Why would you release Ninja Gaiden 2 on PS3 when no one would buy it? Its an Xbox franchise as much as MGS, and Devil May Cry is a Playstation one.

GametimeUK5845d ago

I agree... I also see Ninja Gaiden as an X-box franchise... Just like I see GTA as a Playstation franchise XD

JasonPC360PS3Wii5845d ago

I was just about to put those numbers up myself.

sonarus5845d ago

Well we'll see how sales for NG2 are

St05845d ago

It's not 1080p like on the PS3?

Richdad5845d ago (Edited 5845d ago )

Are you kidding me NG game sold well on Xbox 1 even when there were less audience and not hyped that much now it has the hype it will definetly sell no less than 3 million on 360. If it had been on PS3 it wouldnt have sold a half million how NGS has done, it was one of the worst selling game of the year on PS3.
Most 360 users are aware of NG2 only those who are new are not know it due to series being on Xbox 1 first which was not a popular console then on PS3 where no one purchased it.

INehalemEXI5845d ago (Edited 5845d ago )

You forgot ninpo's. Both DMC and NG have great hack and slash gameplay and overated they are not. Some people just don't appreciate a good hack n slash IMO.

dan-boy5845d ago

ninja gaiden i felt was too much! for me it's same ol same ol on every level, and they upped the difficulty to frustration levels because of it! as i said, i'll be skipping it

cmrbe5845d ago

If there is one game i want from the x360 lineup its NG2. If this game was multi plat. I bet it would sell more on the PS3. This game i am pretty confident is a game that alot of PS owners want as these types of games generally do very well on PS. Heck i almost bought a xbox for NG1. Sigma was a great game and the PS fans warmed up to it which didn't surprise me at all.

wow4u5845d ago

Ninja Gaiden as a run and slash adventure game will do *JUST FINE* on the Xbox 360 fanbase.

And, considering how amazing the game looks to be, I dont think anyone can say otherwise.

Based on the previews thus-far, the game is going to get a lot of good press when it is released. This will get the game into the minds of the wider audience.

Ninja Gaiden fails me in so many way
its the same old sh!t over and over again
i dont care 4 this game

Herbert tholdpervert5845d ago

totally agree this game is crap and they are putting it agents MGS

destroyah5846d ago (Edited 5846d ago )

Eh? Um not really. I have Ninja Gaiden Sigma and the only reason I haven't sold it is because they'll only give me $10 or less for it. I paid $60.

Team Ninja doesn't know how to create a story that doesn't suck and the voice actors are just lol.

chaosatom3335846d ago

the only thing i am jealous of is Gears, not NG2 or fable 2.

socsca5846d ago

You MORONS! Learn to play it and you'll appreciate it, you don't like it cus you suck at it, story has NOTHING to do with this games quality. If the story is indicative of a good game then the only really good game out there is mass effect, bc its basically the only game in existance that has a good story. You are like the people claiming DMC is button mashing, God of War is button mashing (awesome button mashing, I love it). DMC and NG, tho very different are more alike, extremely deep and difficult to master.

dragunrising5845d ago

on Half.com. You'll get far more money for it than Lamestop. Trust me.

Bnet3435845d ago

Yes the story does suck balls, but the gameplay reigns supreme. Gameplay topples everything, story isn't a major part and if you don't agree maybe you should read a book and not play games if story is that important to you.

7h3ultim8p005845d ago

Yeah...and Devil May Cry just makes so much more sense. I mean, the dialog in that game is pure genius. /end sarcasm

People don't buy DMC and NG to watch 50 minutes of cutscenes. You sound like the game handed your ass to you and you couldn't adapt. So all you could do was b!tch about it. Either that or you are just a troll.

wow4u5845d ago

Dude, take it to the open zone. you sound ridiculous.

devilhunterx5845d ago

use the Flying Swallow attack. You can defeat 90% of the game that way. The last boss was a joke.

mikeslemonade5846d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 is an overated game. All it is is an upgrade to Sigma. Give me Too Human or Alan Wake.

Kausdt5845d ago

Over-rated? Sequel for one of the best action games ever made, and still hardly anyone notices it. I think NG2 is very, very under-rated.

Bnet3435845d ago

How is it overrated? Are you retarded? It hasn't been rated at all you idiot.

7h3ultim8p005845d ago

lol. Fail. You haven't even played Sigma you fool. And the game is not even out yet.

mikeslemonade5845d ago

Did I say overated by reviews? No. It's overated by Xbox owners. I bought Sigma and sold it. It is overated because it's really doing nothing new like DMC4.

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 :)

skcej2985d 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! :)

kotaku772985d ago (Edited 2985d ago )

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

FallenAngel19842986d 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

bacrec13290d ago (Edited 3290d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773290d ago (Edited 3290d 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.

breakpad3290d 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

bouzebbal3290d ago (Edited 3290d 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.

johndoe112113289d 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.

rawrock3289d 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.

3289d ago
freshslicepizza3289d 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.

AngelicIceDiamond3290d ago

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

joab7773290d 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.

700p3290d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3290d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3290d ago

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

KryptoniteTail3290d 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.
