shit, sounds like only easy mode is available.
they sure wants sales. :lol
-
Can't DL it. :-\ I had a spare 1 month gold card that I used to change my never-used JPN account to gold, but guess what? It just made me have access to online gaming, but I'm still silver! :'(
When does it hit the U.S. marketplace?
-
see the link, even major nelson doesn't know! :lol
-
Well whatever...silver will have it in a few days and the game comes out in like a week anyway.
-
Downloading now.
-
Does anyone have a throwaway Gold account they want to pass around?
I could make one and share the details with someone, then the next person could use it (you cant be logged on with it at two places at the same time)
-
Account created, if you're interested, let me know and I'll loan you the details
-
Do the free month cards work with foreign accounts?
The code works but it only for online play and not demo? Eat a dick, Microsoft. I want to play the Ninja Gaiden 2 demo, I am on Gold for my US account which doesn't work, and even after entering a code for free 2 day Gold you wont let me download the demo? bullshit.
-
This looks just like Ninja Gaiden, disappointment total
-
rofl, I just got 100 hit combo by launching Shurikens at an archer... what a difficult achievement, Drewsy
-
Ok, I'm digging the Lunar Staff
-

That's what I thought when I saw a commercial last night.

I'm interested. Not right now though. I'll send you a pm later today.
-
So...it's Ninja Gaiden. Looks like the original (or Sigma I guess), plays like it...new moves and such, only now with added frame rate issues and SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWDOOOOOOWWWWN, yeah!
I really don't like the camera. Gonna get it anyway tho!
-
The cutscenes are really stupid. At the end, he sees two towers, so he climbs the left one to the very top and sees Dante getting slapped around, do he jumps from the left tower to the right one except lands through a window several floors down.
Gameplay is still fun, but it sucks it is limited to easy mode.
-
There's slowdown in the demo?
-
There's slowdown in the demo?
yes, but only in one or two areas with a lot of enemies. there's also tearing there. hope it's not in the final version
btw the demo is incredible. sucks that it's easy mode but you get access to 4 fully upgraded weapons and their entire moveset (sword, lunar, scythe, claws). I've already played through it 3 times
-

There was some minor slowdown and tearing in Sigma. Does NG2 seem better or worse in that regard?

should have your answer.
anyway, they region locked the demo now so don't bother creating a a fake JP account.
-
xbox community monkey said in the gaf thread that EU/US is going to see a demo by the END of next week.
yeah.
-
Major Nelson (Larry): "Looking for the NG 2 Demo? I am told that it will be available by the end of next week. "

Yes, we will be sure to download the demo after we finish the retail game :lol
-
good job MS.
-
It's like they don't even care about gaming.
-

quick! make a thread about it!
-
Cool, now I can get some use out of that JP silver account I made to get the Eternal Sonata demo.
-
it's region locked now, don't bother unless you are physically in japan.
-
Well, it's certainly NG 8).
I can definitely see camera issues. However the gameplay is still bloody awesome, weapons are kick-ass. Fluid controls and animation.
In all, it looks and feels samey = NG 1.5. People are going to look at this the same way they looked at Halo 3.
-
I gotta download this shit when I get home, post haste!
-
I remember when GoW sold poorly because there was no demo. :(
I remember when BioShock did exceedingly well because there was a demo
-

and Crackdown!
well, that was actually because of the Halo 3 beta, but if you go back you see a lot of nerds were sold on that game after the demo.
Also Dead Rising and Lost Planet.
-
I bought Crackdown for Crackdown's sake. I played the Halo 3 beta exactly twice. I actually saw my 360 shrug.
However I guess I can wait to buy NG2 until I actually play through the Ninja Gaiden Black I bought a few months ago.
-
Downloaded the demo and my 360 RRoD'ed while the demo was loading.
:piss RRoD :piss2

Oh, please tell me this is a joke. Not the usual mrsinghism pranks and japes... If this is real, you really should have waited for the superior PS3 version.

Unfortunately it's true. However I'm glad that it broke now rather than 6 months later when the 3 years RROD warranty expires.
So last night, I spent more time on the PS3 than I ever have...
... trying to get streaming video working properly on it. Awesome!
-
the superior PS3 version.
:lol :lol :lol :lol
Nothing is superior on the PS3 when it comes to games.

Backward compatibility (on 20, 60, and 80 gig units...)
-
Which aren't even on sale :lol
And don't upscale as well as XBOX games on 360.
Great way to take a stand.

I can play all my PS1 and PS2 games which is something I can't say about my Xbox games. A good chunk of my Xbox games can't be played on the 360 and those games are usually the best ones (like Orta and Oddworld Stranger). The PS3 may have also had problems at launch where PS2 games looked like ass on it, so I would knock it for that. Then again when the 360 launched it had very few games working let alone working perfectly (I remember people saying there were problems with Forza, but I don't know if they went away in later updates).
and isn't 80 gig on sale still? I don't know what SKU confusion Sony and Microsoft are up to these days, but I thought it is 80 gig and 40 gig are the ones currently on the market.
-
80GB has been out of production for months, will see limited release in June and then who knows what.
My uncle has been trying to track one down since Jan or Feb and was told it's out of production until June. It's not listed on the site of any major retailer.
-
Wow, that is pretty fucked up. I doubt Sony cares enough to try and do software emulation since they releases for PS1 games on PSN is awful. I feel bad for anyone who gets a 40 gig unit.
-
Seriously. I don't know why Sony can't just throw in the $15 to at least maintain an 80GB level of BC.
I called this back in October and bought a 20GB while I still could.

Demo should be up tomorrow:
Ninja Gaiden II Demo update
Great news for Ninja Gaiden fans. I have just left a meeting where I was told that the Ninja Gaiden II demo released last week in Japan will be released tomorrow at 0200 PT for the remaining Xbox LIVE regions (except Germany.) As usual, I’ll post a reminder when it is available, but since so many folks have nicely asked for an update…here ya go.

Doesn't the game come out tomorrow? Or is it just being shipped tomorrow?
-

-
I will try this method
-
Holy poop, it worked! Thanks McDragon!
I had no idea you could burn demos. Is this something that occurs frequently? (Burnt fine with the Roxio software that came with my comp BTW.)
-
it happened with that guitar hero 3 demo.
you may notice the loading is a bit longer due to using burned discs.

somebody confirm this and link me?
-

I just killed a guy by stabbing him thru the crotch with steel claws
GOTY
-
Who cares, Itagaki quit, Ninja Gaiden dead before release.
-
He's suing for about 1.4 million dollars. I imagine this could get him blackballed from other game companies.
-
wait, I'll respond in the Offical™ thread.
