Jack the Ripper is insane and he comes out from time to time in the game. Anyway awesome video, but I think Hideo Kojima turned up the default Gamma or Brightness for some reason. It makes the video looked washed out.
Personally i dont see much difference in the combat compared to the demo and this is a brand new level, sure some minor new moves such as the rapid kicks with the sword but thats about it, all of it ends with a over the shoulder cuts and a spine rip which is boring...well the over the shoulder cuts anyways.
I hope we can upgrade Raiden's body, gain new weapons (old video showed a staff of some sort), gain much more deeper moves.
Just like MGS4 this has DP points with every kill so I hope thats what they are for, and unlocking new costumes...i am not a fan of the mexican outfit.
Anyways, the demo is coming out in the west PSN/XBL with 3 different levels (unkown) so i am excited to play that and get a proper feel of the combat personally. Feedback, the tightness of the controls...etc. should be interesting.
PS. getting it for 360, custom music ftw, gonna use some NG music and some MGS tracks (and more) since i dont like any of the tracks i have heard so far.
Also I am as well disappointed with them not showing any new weapons and barely any new moves (the rapid kicks isn't new), but I also saw on Kojima's twitter that a new gameplay trailer will be shown this week too.
Hopefully they will show off the customization they have been talking about and the new weapons. There are some weapons that I do know about already though: a wooden sword for no kill runs, a big stun rod, and Mistrals staff.
I for one want dual swords like Ryu has in NG2...but i want to see how they vision it for Raiden since he is much more stylish using swords.

forgive the size of the gif and the poor scan quality, I tried to improve it as best I could by brightening it.
man I wish we could get a 60fps version of this!
With regards to the blade mode (or over the shoulder cuts and a spine rip), it's one of those oddly satisfying things that seems boring but never gets old, after playing the demo every day since it's release with the ZOE HD collection, blade mode has become an intuitive mini-game that lends itself well to the water-tight mechanics of the fighting system.
Rather than bandy on about the game in it's own right, I believe a comparison would sum it up better: I'd have to say that I haven't played a game as visceral and compact (with regards to gameplay) as this since Ninja Gaiden Black.

Also, why do i say this? because the demo shows Raiden being deployed into his first mission with tutorial, now that could be demo purpose but thats what i am gonna believe for now.
For me it will be boring to "aim" go into over the shoulder and cut and then aim the line to the square just so i can use the spine rip move. It might be fun for you but I already got bored seeing it and probably doing it by watching the videos. And if one gets bored of seeing it constantly doing it doesnt matter, atleast to me.
But the spine rip animations is awesome, those dont get old IMO.
And if you havent played anything as visceral as this, play Ninja Gaiden 2 or NG3 RE on Wii U, NG Black is hardly visceral compared to those two.

However, Raiden is using his HF Blade here, the blade that he has been conceptualized with so the comment "the combat looks no different" is incredibly moot.
Just a heads up, the demo mission is in fact the 2nd mission in the game.

I'm not going to go into depths about blade mode as you've already made your mind up that it will be boring, so, can't convince someone that knows exactly how a game plays through a series of second-hand information.
I for one am really excited about this game, I would have preferred to see more weapons which would lead to changes in combat, but Jack The Ripper is enough of a reveal for me and I can safely say that Raiden genuinely frightens me with that "I think it's time for Jack TO LET 'EM RIP!"
lmao.
I am just gonna say i know what visceral mean, and NG Black is nothing compared to NG2 and i stand by it.
What I like about Platinum Games' hack n' slash action games is that they give you the necessary tools to be the strongest mother****** in the game, Bayonetta was a Goddess and Raiden is incredibly strong and it's mostly about how you use the powerful toys.
What a lot of people don't realise is that you can parry in the air which makes me feel super bad ass when achieved.
Seems i will have to master the parry to survive almost everything in the game kind of like Bayonetta's split second dodge witch time feature...which I couldnt do so well hehe.
I'm terrible, in that video I kept looking at the BP and thinking "he's about 5000 BP points behind" but he is doing a montage run and does a good job of showing most of the available combos in the demo save for two or three.
I like the fact that there are two alternative costumes and three different colour ones, a great excuse for multiple playthroughs.

He can also dodge, but it's an offensive dodge, Platinum Games said that when creating MGR they wanted Raiden always moving forward never backing down, hence all the offensive moves and the choice to prioritize parry instead of dodge.

I am a guy who loves to rush in, kill as fast and cool as possible like NG1 and 2, most go to make long combos and hits. I am kind of like a Iaido types, quick kills.
Good to know there is different costumes, though like I said, i am not a fan of the mexican one. I do want the one were his visor covers his face, the best one IMO hopefully we get that.
Anyways demo is next week so i am excited to try it :)

I will admit though - it's true about parrying in Bayonetta - I wasn't able to platinum that game and clear the harder difficulties till I had mastered it - good point ... the demo was surprisingly hard but now that I think about what you guys are saying I will play it again but keep that in mind
@deafwing
Definitely try it again, it was a solid month of play before I felt like I had found everything the demo had to offer that was after doing multiple runs of farming BP, cutting through as quickly as possible, combo runs etc. you catch my drift.
When any of you get the chance to play it again, after you save the hostage, run after him and slice him. ;)
