Namco-Bandai releases a new video of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, with more than two minutes of combat gameplay. Visually, it's true that we've never seen a cel-shaded game looking (and moving) that good.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (4 Days ago)

( those, that were already good and more complex that the Gamecube Titles ).
I just hope it's as fun, engaging and open, as it seems in footage.
( The technical poweress of Japanese Devs over the westerns when Cell-shading is the subject, really shows! )
The Lack of footage from an world hub RPG-Like Leaf village, to spend time between the missions, ... is kinda disturbing. Don't this title has it?
If I have to be honest: >>in my opinion<< this beats every game out there graphic wise, since it looks SO well done. The explosions, animations, EVERYTHING looks straight from a class-a anime movie.
Anyways heres alot higher quality version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nlvr-X26KPc
Looks amazing, I still wish someone would make a proper Naruto RPG though.
In that regard, Eternal Sonata seems a Static Doll House Playground side to side with this title.
What's the point of looking almost like a real Naruto show, if they use the engine just for combat? Seems like a terrible diservice...
Also, if its just a beat'em up, then its foolish comparing the graphics to that of an rpg. Ofcourse its going to look nicer..theres much less in it.

I have to admit I'd written this game off after the BS shots were exposed by the jaggy in-game one's.
However, I must say the animation looks really fluid and the character model's look really good. The cut-scenes for the special moves also look impressive. The size of the arena looks vast enough and the interaction, such as walking on the water is a nice touch.
Now to the negatives...
The graphics looks really good on the characters but the environments lack any real detail or life.
The button combination for the special moves looks like a rip off from the 360 version and hopefully you can actually counter them, otherwise the fighting isn;t going to be deep enough.
I'm also interested in the other aspects of the game bar the fighting. The adventure and platforming was a huge part of the 360 game, possibily the best part, and the way you could focus chakra to your feet and full off shadow clones was great. I just hope this game has that much depth otherwise it'll look like a poor version of the 360 game rather than have it's own identity.

Yes, I know this studio's done Naruto games before, I've played them and they were awful. Ubisoft's offering of Naruto pretty much showed them up and set a new standard for anime game's so this has alot to live upto.
That's most likley why this studio has gone out of it's way to make a Naruto game which is pretty much soley for the US audience. If Ubisoft hadn't released their game then chances are this studio would be making a Shippuuden game and we'd be importing that instead.

I just wnat to know if the new adventure part is more like that, or more like the ubisoft effort.
We will probably know with new footage...
