Tecmo has released brand new screenshots of Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. At New York Comic Con, Dark Horse announced a collaboration with Team Ninja and Keiji Inafune to release a three-part web comic that will be available for free plus a print comic coming when the game will be out for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC (Steam) in early 2014.

But seriously they should make a new NG with the kind of gamedesign and gameplay I fell in love with in NGB, but this time with giant robots and zombies and the artdirection of this comic. Fuck the story. Just forge the most nonsensical and ridiculous plot so it gets you to places. Voilà, a masterpiece.
Gameplay looked bad from the demos i seen.
Though... The feeling i got from that 'War Military base' Stage on DoA5 - Same Feel I get now with 'Zombies' in [Yaiba] - Which is that T.N is using familiar west world imagery to approach more gamers. Its not a bad thing considering how JP games do in US and EU but I'm afraid it will still be overshadowed by the next Gen Buzz! I will buy it when is out - still though I can't compare it to any other NG as this concept is entirely different.
This looks to be more like a over the top comedy action type and the only reference to NG is that you will fight Ryu (dont count on him to die, or lose).
Interms of style its your generic comic book style action game with a ninja, remove the title and Ryu and its another ninja action game that looks average at best, thats what i got from all the demo vids from the gaming events.
Looks like absolute garbage.
This game has nothing to do with NG IMO. It's a spin.off, sure, but why calling it Ninja Gaiden then? Yeah becasue trademakrs sell. Anyways. As a big NG fan I don't think I will get this one.
The developers should stick to making fantasy elements more into NG and not some stupid high tech/soldiering garbage with guns and missiles with modernized levels with subminimal fantasy stuff in it, theres no creativity in there, might s well call it Strider Gaiden or something.
I would rather look at Otogi 1 and 2 from Xbox than NG games.
When you see what they do with DOA art and their priority being the girls then you know where they are going with the company.
Team Ninja was my top fav company from start of NG2, but then they took a piss all over the NG franchise from there and now I hate them, especially this Hayashi director lol
The most hilarious comment is that a game going for a more realistic "look" has "shit" art style. Seriously...
