"It's developed by FROM SOFTWARE." From Software Producer Masanori Takeuchi is on the stage. He's talking about the game, which is "cinematic action" title. The trailer showed a ninja standing on a plane, falling into Tokyo and running down the side of a building. The game is set in Tokyo -- "famous Tokyo landmarks" like Shinjuku Station.
The action scenes and the cut scenes are seemless
Wow, Lost Planet designer Keiji Nakoka is working on this game.
Norihiko Hibino did the music -- who's also done music for MGS 3 and Ryu Ga Gtoku 2. Production I.G. worked on the cutscene animation.
They're showing us helicopters, the ninja jumps off and cuts up demon monsters as he falls down to Tokyo below. He catches onto a buiding with a rope and inside the destroyed building, there are zombie monsters. The ninja cuts them up and then a LARGE OBJECT comes crashing into the building. The game is dated for 2009. The game will be playable at TGS.
Bayonetta is goind to dwarf all of this wannabe action BS.
God no. Bayonetta has terrible design.
NO.
IT LOOKS FUCKING distinguished mentally-challenged. LIKE IF TECMO OR SOME OTHER SHITTY COMPANY TRIED TO MAKE A DEVIL MAY CRY CLONE.
YES I KNOW THIS IS FROM THE CREATOR OF THE ORIGINAL DEVIL MAY CRY AND I HOPE HE BURNS IN HELL.spoiler (click to show/hide)THERE'S A REASON DMC3 AND DMC4 ARE THE SUPERIOR TITLES[close]
The Xbox page for Ninja Blade goes on to confirm the following:
- The game is based on real locations throughout Tokyo including the Shinjuku Skyscrapers, Tokyo Tower, and Roppongi Hills.
- The game will use the full spec of the Xbox360 to recreate the famous landmarks to be as close to reality as possible.
- You can use your superhuman ninja skills to dive from skyscrapers, make giant leaps, etc.
- Using a variety of weapons you can take down armies of monsters one after another.
- The cinematic action nature of the game aims to create action sequences that are comparable to a Hollywood movie, while seamlessly branching between gameplay and cinematics.
Just got back from this thing. My God, what blahness. I was expecting more than a single new game announcement.
Ninja Blade does look legitimately radcakes, though. I interviewed Norhiko Hibino several months ago and he was raving about the game, which didn't have a title yet. Now I see why he was so excited. Made Ninja Gaiden II look like a first-gen Xbox game.
Yeah, there was a brief CG trailer and then an in-game one. Very short, but awesome. The main character leapt out of a helicopter, fell hundreds of feet, smashed through plate glass windows into a skyscraper, then continued the battle inside. Totally seamless. The From guy said it wasn't a cutscene and was all playable. Graphics were hugely impressive and everything looked to be 60fps. Lots of destructable elements in the background. "From Software Ninja Action Game" just went from "huh, might be cool" to "GOD DAMN".
I dunno if MS will have a conference at TGS, but Ninja Blade will have playable kiosks.

I can't believe they're using the same fucking font as Ninja Gaiden.

Hey Tieno is back - banned @ GAF again?No, I have 2 month ban at GAF. Passed month I was just in Kyoto visiting my brother, getting drunk, eating and going to temples. Didn't have much time to get in front of a computer.
Milkman's interview almost sold me on the game, I just need a demo now. :-*Bayonetta is goind to dwarf all of this wannabe action BS.
God no. Bayonetta has terrible design.
NO.
This is fucking revolutionary.

Bayonetta will probably be awesome.
Why would anyone think Bayonetta would be bad?
Ninja Bladen
never played metal wolf chaos; i was hyped for it but it got delayed constantly and then had some kind of covert release, by the time i found out it released it was already too rare to find. :'(Quoteotogi/chromehounds team
don't forget the Metal Wolf Chaos element - that could guarantee some utterly ridiculously over the top moments of FIRE.
chromehounds expertise used to handle expansive online persistant city battle ninja turf war. :hyper
hm, shots don't look great, and the player character's design is kind of silly, but from software is my boo :-* :heart :interracial :hump
love is blind. there are lots of from games i haven't played, and even the from games i like tend to be weirdly sterile -- i remember hearing on gaf that from employees have to wear suits to work and are underpaid even by japanese game industry standards, which makes sense whether it's true or not. but a lot of their games just do it for me
QuoteFor every Chromehounds, an Enchanted Arms.
Mrs C swears that Enchanted Arms isn't that bad.
She's finished it twice i believe - once in english once in Japanese (the achievements are different i think!)
I think Groo quite enjoyed it too (?)
Bayonetta > this shitPlease stop mentioning that ugly ass game.
