Ninja Gaiden 2: Sonia
2008-04-07 18:00:09 by BlimBlim
Microsoft and Team Ninja released these 2 artworks and a cutscene video of Ninja Gaiden 2, unveiling Ryu's new female friend called Sonia. No doubt, this is a Team Ninja game!
Update: First images of the New-York level added.

the sketch is cool, but the render feels uninspired and boring

I find the render's face boring and the boobs too big.
That said, I'm glad it doesn't have the same anime look that the concept art has.

the concept art is hot. The real model... not so much.

I'd like to see your tits my dear! LOL. She looks almost exactly like Rachel. I agree, her render is indeed uninspired, just like the most of NG character design(except ryu). But Story and Art aren't that important to NG anyway, It's all about the action. From the gameplay footage I've seen this will be my personal GOTY!

Leave it to Team Ninja to make breasts jiggle in an overexaggerated manner. I liked Ryu's female ninja counterpart in Dragon Sword to be honest. Much less exagerrated, more modest, and more realistic.

Can't say I've any love for Momiji, I'm glad they left her out of NG 2... or at least it seems they have.

I take it you guys didn't get a preview build like IGN, 1up, and Teamxbox?

Lighting is truly awfull. The skin looks like cardboard or something. I just can't get over how visually underwhelming this game looks. Such a shame really (yes, graphics do matter).
The gameplay's still tight for sure! One thing I do fear though is that, judging from some previews and early impressions, the adventure aspect of the game will get a serious downgrade this time around. Not too happy with that prospect.
Oh well, we'll see...

Can someone explain what is so "inspired" about the concept art and not the render? Now, I don't find the render looks particularly good - her face is pretty ugly - but the concept art is pretty much the same except for an anime head and a clichéd big weapon she couldn't conceivably carry in one hand.

Storyboards that actually make sense.
And drawn by an animation artist by the looks of things...
Western developers take note.

Oops, follow up. You guys are spot on. That render has NONE of the character of the initial concept art, not at all. What a shame.

And I can see being disappointed by the graphics from what we've seen so far as I'm sure expectations were sky-high. I still think the game looks fantastic as a whole though.
