Ninja Gaiden 2 worldwide in June News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Tomonobu Itagaki has revealed that Ninja Gaiden 2 will be released worldwide in June, exclusively on Xbox 360.
Specifically the US will get the game on 3rd June. No other territory was picked out.
The leather jacket and sunglass-clad boss of Tecmo announced the date at the Microsoft GDC keynote earlier this evening, after showing a special Temple of Sacrifice demo to the crowd.
In it we saw hero Ryu slice through bizarre enemies like they were an offensive piece of cheesecake and he a furious fork, creating a bloody great mess that left us thoroughly confused.
Thank goodness for the frequent controller disconnections, then, and the demonstrator pausing to save before fighting some sort of boss creature with wings and obviously bigger muscles than the rank and file goons.
Interestingly, there also seemed to be some sort of "record" function where you can capture moments of action and upload them. We speculated that this could be some sort of Leaderboard with video proof. [That was certainly what it sounded like - The Man Who Was There]
And that was that.

I want this game NOW, I hope it's not released on the weekend I'm at the download festival, I can't bloody wait.
Still have to finish the first one mind, I got to the second to last level, and then it just continuously handed my ass to me, I gave up before I literally murdered someone. |

Going through NG: Black again on the 360 at the moment -- easily the best looking, most well developed and skill reliant action game ever made. God of War is the only challenger within radius but even that has its work cut out to ever top such a masterpiece. And DMC4 doesn't even come into the picture.
The funny thing is, I know what Team Ninja are capable of but I'm pretty certain Ninja Gaiden 2 will be inferior to NG: Black simply because it'll be too "accessible" (God, I hate that word, whenever I see it I immediately think "nerf"). What makes Ninja Gaiden so good is that it challenges you to the extent that you become engulfed in the combat, and you notice just how much depth there is. It also helps that it's one of the few games which is difficult without cheating the player.

God damn Skeletor, that vid was fannytastic. One thing that pleased me immensely was that the camera seems to be handling the action faaaar better than it was in the videos a few months back. Infact in the whole 6 minutes I don't think it fucked up once. Good stuff.
And one of the combos towards the middle of the video was bloody rediculous, can't wait to play this, only 3 months to go. |

I've a feeling this game will be a mild disappointment personally after the lacklustre DOA4 and dire DOA Xtreme 2 on the Xbox 360 and the lazy Ninga Gaiden Sigma port on the PS3. Hopefully I'm wrong but although I'm sure I'll end up buying the game anyway and enjoying it, it's not one I'm itching to play following the likes of superb God of War series and especially DMC4, which I'm thoroughly enjoying. The video footage I've seen of NG2 looks OK though but nothing special IMO.

@Crofto - Have you have ever heard of Difficulty Levels? ;)
While I personally *do* hope that Team Ninja makes the sequel more accessible, there's nothing wrong with including a range of difficulty levels from the off for all tastes from Easy to Extremely Challenging so everyone can enjoy it not just those that are masochistic enough to actually enjoy the default levels (which even the developers admit are intentionally hard). DMC4 is the most accessible and thus the best DMC game I've played to date because it allowed me to complete it yet still play through on harder difficulty levels rather than dropping me in at the deep end and putting me off the whole thing just half-way through. I *want* to complete the games I pay £40 for, thank you! And, please, don't give me all that "you're rubbish, you should try harder" crap because everyone is different and what might be easy for one person, might be hard for someone else. I like to play games for enjoyment not to be frustrated and annoyed. Games like Ninja Gaiden are very easy to implement difficulty levels into so there's no excuse for Team Ninja alienating lesser gamers. I admit I'm not a brilliant gamer (nor do I care that I aren't) but I do enjoy these kinds of games provided I can play them at my level of "expertise". And it is ironic that the Japanese are notorious for preferring easy games, so they can play more of them, yet a Japanese developer goes and makes their games uber-hard for the Western market. |
