A few days before the Tokyo Games Show, Tecmo and Microsoft unveil the very bloody first images of Ninja Gaiden 2, for the moment still a Xbox 360 exclusive. Graphically, Sigma has nothing to be ashamed of for now.

Team Ninja has recently said they're pretty satisfied with the character models they are now, and would rather focus on creating great gameplay instead of great graphics. If you're disappointed with Sigma or NG2's graphics, keep in mind that Sigma runs at 60fps and 1080p. A game like Heavenly Sword runs at half the resolution and framerate.
Sigma's graphical problem (s?) came from the Xbox 1 conversion, but I think it was more the level designers lacking that ended in the levels still looking like a Xbox 1 game (with higher resolution diffuse textures) in NGS.
I hope they end up using some nice normal mapped or parallax textures in NG2, because if they don't, it still will reflect a Xbox 1 look, I think.

so I'm guessing the DOA team didn't get that memo then?I kid, I kid(sort of) :P
Anyway, I see what, and agree with what Indigo is saying.
Still, it's Ninja Gaiden. We all know what's in store for us, which is pure pwnage with Mr. Hayabusa! I'm sure some HDTVs will be broken due to flung controllers of rage too!
@ZombieBub
Ninja gaiden hasn't been cut because of "Zee' Jermans"...it was cut because the European publisher wanted a lower rating (15 in the UK and 16 in Germany).
There is ZERO doubt in my mind that the gameplay will be anything less than stellar. But I reserve the right to be disappointed in these screens, and that hardly makes me a troll. *insert rolling eyes emoticon here*
This is, after all, a discussion board, and if it were meant to be a "Post Compliments Only" Board it would be called a "Post Compliments Only" Board.
Wow, didn't expect this. Well I expected (or hoped) for a presentation of NG2 on the TGS but not revealed before the show.
I'd say it looks quite good in terms of graphics, screen res isn't too high tho. :/
And yeah that comment wasn't needed snoopers, first of all the res is horrid and alone gudging by the trees in the background this will take the NG experiance, graphicaly, one level higher.
EDIT: I just hope It isn't released in Germany AT ALL, or just an extra cut version for us. I'm gonna import my copy from Austria or UK anyway.

Fake 1080p. Actual res 960x1080 scaled x2 on horizontal. If that's 1080p then EVERY 360 scaled to that rez is 1080p too.
Very true. Halving the horizontal rez is the best way to fake 1080p, though. Real 1080p should be banned from full-price games in this generation. It's just a waste of resources. If there's juice left then it should be spent on antialiasing, which yields much nicer image quality dividends.

fanboyz trolling, it will be the same as for Halo3, first v. 1.5, latter omg
doa4 is still the best fighter on next-gen, with some amazing textures
and how the fuck can this pics look bad :/
i think a fanboy is more like ppl who constantly reassure themselves that a game looks amazing, in their own eyes because they dont wanna admit that it doesnt look all that better than the last. And Ninja Gaiden and DOA are some of my favorite games thats why im disappointed that with the Xbox360 and PS3's power, they couldnt make it look noticeably better than on Xbox1?
I'm a big NG fan, but I wished ryu hayabusa had a new design and outfit for NG2. I'm a little dissapointed in this area. Well, shows how lazy team ninja are. You can bet DOA5 will still use the same models from 5 years ago. But anyways I'm happy NG2 is getting somewhere.
Everyone should not the Resolution of the images. They aren't even 480p. You'll not beable to comment on the level of detail or proper visuals until you see it in 720p. Everything else is an assumption.

if you look closely, there actually is a slight change in his outfit, most noticeably in the head ornament...
either way, these shots are early, some of the textures look too lo-res, and there is no noticeable self-shadowing. too early to compare it to NG Sigma, a finished game

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
