2008-05-08 15:59:22 by Manager
Microsoft has released tons of images and videos from Ninja Gaiden 2 today, revealing different staffs and maps from the game in horribly compressed videos.
Update: Information and image of upcoming DLC added
Microsoft has through the XCN announced that a costume will be available for 39 000 gamers. Press release:
Inspired by the Hayabusa family’s namesake, the falcon, this demonic costume mirrors the intensity of Ryu’s vengeance and fury as he fights to regain the honor of his clan. It’s almost as if he’s been transformed into a Fiend by the evil powers of the underworld with this costume – but retains all the honor of the Hayabusa Ninja Clan."
Starting July 2008, Xbox Live members worldwide will be able to download 3 unique Hayabusa costume packs for 200 MS points each to use in Ninja Gaiden II. Each costume pack is a completely new and never before seen look for our Ninja hero, Ryu Hayabusa.
The first of the 3 costume pack designs is being revealed today. This will be exclusively available in selected countries to 39,000 gamers on launch day as part of pre-sale or launch promotions with specific retail partners. Look for more details on other two designs and specific country promotions to be revealed in the coming weeks. Go to xbox.com/ng2 or your favorite retailer to pre-order Ninja Gaiden II today!

Umm what does that PSN ID have to do with NG2? Or is that your signature? If it is you could add it to that so it won't confuse as much. Go to my account -> edit account info and put it to Signature forum field.

The fiend costume looks ace! Too bad I may not get it seeing as it's only available in limited numbers... "Hey man, you wanna download this suit?" - "Sure!" - "Well there arent anymore left so fuck you, Krabath!" :-(
But there is a chance!

Wow, a lot of bans have been made due to Farooq's posts. How do you do it Farooq? You get 4-5 people banned without getting yourself banned; You're a true NINJA.

There are aspects in some screens that don't quite look stellar, but every preview I've read has had NOTHING but good things to say about the graphics. And besides, it's fucking Ninja Gaiden. This is one case where I have no trouble painting the negative people with one, giant, sloppy "retard" brush.

NG was fucking smart, fucking hard and fucking amazing, so I have no reason to doubt that this one be more of the same (with a ton and a half of cherries on top). The screens look awesome, character design as bizarre as ever, nothing to fear here!

Instead of doing "Boulet Time" can you just delete the posts or put them in a junk thread where they can argue and not derail the actual topic NG2!

Me is thinking, that Team Ninja's gfx-engines are outdated.
Textures etc are looking just flat. There aren't any common effects (motion blur, blablabla..), that would make the game look so much better.

Infact, Burnout is the only one that does look better and it's hardly a major difference. Oblivion did look better on the PS3, but only because of Shivering Isles, if you download it on the 360 then it has all of the same added effects. And despite what IGN may have you believe, the 360 version of GTA IV is easily superior in most ways. And perhaps you missed the fact that the PS3 version was just recently patched for.. barley working?

As for your sales claims, I don't care to comment on this crap, but perhaps you should check your sources. Your facts and figures are way off. Despite the fact the PS3 has been outselling the the 360 in most territories for the past few months, the total sales of the 360 are still almost double that of the PS3.
More on topic.. I don't get why so many people are complaining about the graphics. These aren't exactly the best shots ever, but the game still looks pretty darn good. My only problem with the series has been with the enemy design. It's fine when you're fighting other ninja's and the generally human like enemies, but the monsters and demons look very poor. I'm also disappointed to hear that almost none of the original games flaws have been corrected, we still have clunky control and an awkward camera.

Really I thought NG had some of the best camera work in any 3rd person action game!

I don't think the graphics could be any better with something that moves this fast
Also I thought the controls were always great, but the camera was a bit off always

hhhmmm hahahahah its quite funny that some people are saying that the graphics look bad.
but the funny thing is that the game is so fast that it actualy doesnt even matter.
when i was playing ninja gaiden 1 I was more focusing on the what is happening on the screen ,then looking at it like a painting.

TO ADMIN:
Avi files in CASTLE , VENICE probably others has BAD ASPECT RATIO encoded:
64:9
so they display as long thin strips
They are reported as
640 x 360 (AR 64:9)
some players that *ignore* aspect ratio coded into file may display properly but most for example MPC + XVID will not
Brooklyn.avi is OK
You can use MPEG4Modifier to set square pixels, fix them and display files properly for a quick fix.

I thought the controls felt very stiff when attempting to do many of the platform sections, it was very difficult to get him to perform certain jumps the way you wanted him to, especially when compared to games like Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia. Considering he's supposed to be a "super ninja" I didn't think he was particularly flexable or agile.

Right. I agree. There were a few times where I had to go into first person mode just to line up a jump and would more often than not miss it. I guess I didn't really care because I never died as a result, and the combat was just too sweet.
