Game still looks terrible in stills.   :(

Technically, it's not much different from DMC 4, but the art is just bad.  Overshiny textures are so last gen.

Can't wait.  I'm not a fan of the art style.  Too plasticky.

The intro video also looked like complete ass.  Are they not doing CG ones this time?

Like SF4, NG2 will look much better in motion.  Ryu moves with a fluidity that even Dante/Nero lack.

What's wrong with dick tentacles?  They're evil, dangerous and have a cock damage of at least +4 to hit.  Dick tentacles.. stay away.

Ninja Gaiden is all about silly, nonsensical, distinguished mentally-challenged enemy design.  When I enter a room in NG, I just want to see some weird-ass shit.

In that context I think it looks awesome.

Am I missing something? I think the game looks great, and that boss looks epic.

The game is going to be hilarious, that's all that matters.

A proper lighting system with realistic shadows would really add a ton to the look of this.  Shadows would look awesome considering the creatures have such fiddly designs and the fact that you get all those flashes while you're fighting.

Team Ninja seem solidly stuck in the last gen on this issue though.

characters have self shadowing in the cutscenes.

also, cutscene + sonia concept art: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3167249

tbh, her in-game model isn't as good as the concept art.

I haven't really been keeping up on NG (although I'll be there day 1 most likely).

To be honest that cutscene doesn't look so much different (holy crap... tits).  I was thinking a more contrasty lighting engine like Assassin's Creed.  I guess the difference is AC only had one lighting source, being the sun.  NG would have a few, which might be hard to pull off.

I hope the cutscenes are all real time as CG to real time can be a bit jarring, especially in NG.

CERO are not going to let the game out in this state in Jfagland.

Xbox already gets shafted on ratings, and i don't see them cutting this game any slack
http://www.tecmo.co.jp/product/ng2/

it's already been rated Z.

Sorry everyone but complaining about the art style is stupid.  Yes some enemies look silly in stills, but that's not what matters here.  It's how the enemies attack you that's exciting.  Give me that over well drawn out enemies a la DMC4 any day.

but the biggest issue is that CERO get to put their shitty rating on the spine of my games and on the front, making the game covers look like FUCKING GASH.

We get the following fucking gigantic rating warning in Australia screwing up boxart:
