Xbox 360

Microsoft today released these images of Ninja Gaiden 2, supposed to be from the Tokyo Game Show. We didn't have them in the database, and other sites doesn't seem to have recieved them back then either, so we'll just let you enjoy some 1080p greatness a month after the unveiling.

is there really any reason for THAT much blood, i LOVED ninja gaiden black, and this looks great, but WHY that much blood!!! is it trying to compete with gears of war chainsawing?

First thoughts: OMG teh blood!

I really really hope Tecmo doesn't have to cut it for europe again. They just shouldn't realease it in Germany, I'd be more than happy getting a copy off the austrian market but un-cut!

Seriously? Just look how many legs and heads there're rolling and you don't like the bloo?! The artistic blood imo is very good looking.

bet it looks 10x worse in still screens than in motion. Gears of War wasnt as gory as the images showed, so i doubt this will either.

Apparently latest build the graphics look much much better than these :D

NG2 looks very cool indeed, but in the graphics it doesnt seem to take a few step up like NG did on Xbox.

But in motion however it looked awesome indeed. Games these days have to be seen in motion rather than screenshots.

However, the gameplay looks very cool like always, hopefully the AI aint as bullshit cheap, but I doubt that will change considering its TN.

I do like that every powerful hit can cut limbs off and blood will go everywhere, thats very cool.

But considering that this blood and cut off limbs is a new thing and the gore and all that to NG2, I do not think they will cut it down for EU.

Anyway, the game looks awesome artisticlly and gameplay looks as the good old NG, so those who have mastered the previous title will have no problem owning the AI in this one.

Well it means that it won't sell as well, there will be a higher age restriction or in come countries a complete ban if the violence isn't removed.

Personally I have no problem with the blood, I would expect to see it if i slash someone with a sword.

1080p?

I thought the game ran at 720p. Is there confirmation of this?

Not nearly as impressive as it could've been, graphically, but with NG it's all about the gameplay. Hopefully they don't dumb down the game for all the crybabies. It also worries me that MS is publishing it. Itagaki needs to stop sucking Billy boy's dick already.

The 360 can scale any game to 1080p. I don't think any games support it natively. These are just press release shots, anyway. Those are always touched up or shown at a greater than normal resolution, sometimes even bigger than 1080p.

Virtua Tennis or w/e was native 1080P

That is still a possibility for NG2 but i expect it to be 720P, also, game is at 40% completion so even tho the game looks good, it will look better upon release.

I wonder if NG 3 will take it even further and include intestines. :P Game looks good though, gore and all.

I've never been so letdown by a Developer tech abilities.

I should've took DOa4 and DOAX 2 as percursors, but my god if this game doesn't disappoint and underwhelm in the GFX area. The lightning renderer is just crap.

The game looks like it's gonna be awesome but the GFX....DMC4 for example, just murders this, and this is an exclusive title.
