10:03 - 10:10 [Ninja Gaiden 2 Gameplay Description] The game starts. The player jumps into first person to survey the scene. Then runs around. A GROUP OF SIX ENEMIES APPEAR.

The gameplay is so fast that it's hard to watch. Hard to keep up with. Lots of blood. Bodies getting chopped in half. Ryu pins enemis on the ground, thrusts his sword in, and they explode!

After the fight, he shakes the blood of his sword. Then runs up the stairs to the top of a bridge. Lots of eneies appear. Ryu does a ninja arts move. He switches form his rapier sword to a twin blade.

Then to shurikens. Actually, I think the shurikens are equipped as a subweapon. The environments have a lot of destructable elements to them. He's fighting in a fruit stand area, and when the fight ends, all the stands have been destroyed and the fruits are lying on the ground.

Next, Ryu faces off aginst gun-wielding enemies. They have machine guns.

Chopped up bodies are everywhere. They don't seem to be leaving the scene, at least not initially.

Now, he changes to Ryu's claws. Giant winged beasts, three times his size appear. They have green blood.

HOLY *&%# THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING ACTION GAME I'VE EVER SEEN!!!

Boss time. A giant rumbling. A huge beast, with six legs and 10 times Ryu's size rampages onto the scene. He roars, then the demo comes to an end.

Does Ryu do one move the entire trailer?

The "trailer" isn't worth bothering

I think people are more interested in seeing how much blood they can put on the screen

I know I am

HD version of the trailer. The trailer is crap, but there it is if you want to see it. I hope someone recorded the gameplay and it gets put on the net.

I was just wondering if they were planning on putting one good move in the game and a lot of filler moves like the first one.

What do you mean?

Ninja Gaiden having one move that is so out of balance to the rest of the moves that is can render them useless.

you mean the wall jump? You can't abuse if you play on a decent difficulty.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #12 on:** September 12, 2007, 03:37:04 PM »

did you play it on a high difficulty?

Robo · « **Reply #13 on:** September 12, 2007, 04:01:57 PM »

A higher difficulty doesn't make the move less useful. In fact, I think you tend to rely on it even MORE (is this possible?) in higher difficulties due to how fucking good it is.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #14 on:** September 12, 2007, 04:07:44 PM »

I'm not asking how powerful it is really but why he really liked it. He said all the other moves were filler moves.

Robo · « **Reply #15 on:** September 12, 2007, 04:16:52 PM »

He's saying they aren't necessary, i.e. they're filler, because of how overpowered the flying swallow is.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #16 on:** September 12, 2007, 04:24:52 PM »

Well it doesn't sound like that in a thread jizzing over gameplay impressions.

9:59 - Itagaki continues, 'When we were creating the original NG for the Xbox, we used all of our power to use the hardware to its fullest, to extract every drop of power from that hardware. As a result, we weren't able to implement every feature we wanted to. As I look back, there were maybe 10 or 20 features we weren't able to implement. Now we're able to present nG2 on xbos 360 next gen hardware. What this means is we're able to implement features that we couldn't do before. As you can imagine, there's no greater thrill for a developer. Please enjoy the world's best action game running on the world's most powerful machine, Xbox 360.'

9:58 - Itagaki says, 'Our goal with Ninja Gaiden 2 is to create the world's premier action game, just as DOA4 was the premier fighting game when it was released at the 360's launch and remains the premier fighting game today. I know that a lot of our fans played the first NG as being a masterpiece and being flawless. However, as a team, we don't necessarily agree all the time.'

Itagaki is so cool

Flying Swallow was considerably nerfed in Ninja Gaiden Black btw. The success rate went way down. But if you're the sort of gamer that uses other cars to brake in Gran Turismo, you probably abused it anyway and ruined one of the greatest games ever for yourself.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #28 on:** September 13, 2007, 06:19:20 AM »

^yeah even in gran turismo, I can't stand a player that would do that.

and I only played Black and the first NG demo so that could explain why I don't think anybody who really played the game could rely on that move too much.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #29 on:** September 13, 2007, 09:43:58 PM »

I got to talk to Anoop about this last night and he was still that hyped for it hours later. It's pretty unusual for him to get that high on a game so quickly. He also showed me the footage he took straight off his video camera. The screen was pretty small of course but HOT DAMN the footage looked like everything I want from NG2. Insanely frenetic action, lethal enemies, crazy amounts of gore, and Ryu just being a total badass ninja god from start to finish. DO WANT.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #30 on:** September 13, 2007, 10:35:43 PM »

It was an abusable move...and they fixed it in Black/Sigma. Try beating the final boss, say, in Black with Flying Swallow and see what happens. What more do you want from Team Ninja? A handjob?

Good games don't put in an abusable move. It's just lazy design.

What the hell? It wasn't even like the flying swallow did a lot of damage, the reason why it was so good was because it was hard to get hit while doing it. Its a slight flaw. NG is still the best 3d action game.

to be honest, I got through the NG demo level pretty easily just using flying swallow but I got kicked down pretty fast to ninja dog in Black.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #43 on:** September 16, 2007, 05:28:15 PM »

The graphics do look good, especially the enemy animations and the textures. the enemies have a lot of animations for reacting to what you do and act different the different they get hit. I also really like how the blood stays on the blades, even on those foot claws. you can also change your weapons and ranged weapons with the d-pad. they really need to release a 60 fps video, or better yet a demo.
