Graphics are...........just like Sigma, which in turn makes it pretty much NG HD :| WTF?

Guess you're right.. my memory must be failing me. I remember the MGS logo in the collection of splash screens, but the logo isn't anywhere on the packaging. I stand corrected.

Like I said, NG Sigma is not NG HD, it has alot of next-gen features in it to be considered as a next-gen title.

I had NG Black, and I played it on a 720p from the 360, and it was no where close to being as good looking as NG Sigma

Now as for NG2...for a sequal I sure expected it too look a bit better.
But if anyone remember how NG looked in the early stages and then closer to release it started to bloom open to quite a looker :P

Anyway, these are just the few new images, and we all can say that screenshots doesn't make a game justice until gameplay footages are shown.

You can't see much in that, but from that small unwatchable screen, it sure seems to look very good in motion :D

Op, yeah I know, someone was sneaky with that stuff, shame it wasent a video cam.

One thing on Xbox.com is saying is that NG2 is having auto-regenerating health.
I hope this time around you can regenerate yourhealth by esscence or cool off some place.

The whole environment interactive stuff in NG2 is likely to be like DOA4, like that market level with the chariots and fruits.
Kind of a bummet, I wanted very cool physics, but ah well, its NG2 damn it :D.

But all these are just speculations and all, I want a gameplay footage to atleast know just a bit more in terms of combat.
But thats all gonna be at TGS!

Regenerative health? Hmm.. not sure I like that.. stands to calm the challenge a little. Guess that's a next gen feature! ;)

On a completely unrelated note, I hate all this "next-gen" stuff. It's been next gen for TWO YEARS.. can we stop calling it "next"?

Only when the PS2 dies :|

Grift I am with you on this one...but however people still play Xbox and PS2 games today.

But I don't even know if after 2 years we should be able to call it next-gen, while its all current gen.

I think Xbox and PS2 games should be called "last gen" and all the "next-gen" as for PS3 and 360 is "currtent gen".

Yea that regenerating health thing is a bit iffy, but it'll atleast help noobs out a bit and in some cases I'm sure even the more hardcore will appreciate the little health support they do end up getting.

Were people simply not allowed to record this game in action?

When I first saw SS the other day I could have sworn that someone was generating false hype by using Sigma screenshots as "NG2" ones. Sigma isn't ugly, and it looks smoother graphically than Too Human, but it DMC4 and HS look better.

Gameplay, well, that is a different story. The NG pedigree is pretty good.

# Easy to play, hard to master: Ninja Gaiden 2’s new auto-healing system featuring semi-permanent damage restored at save points is the natural evolution of the franchise’s distinctive gameplay, and introduces a new twist to managing health. Featuring a newly implemented auto-healing functionality and save point system, as well as an extensive story mode and multiple difficulty levels available from the start of the game, the gameplay is accessible to more casual players and challenging to even the most demanding gamers.
# Massive content and engrossing story: The themes of revenge and friendship in Ninja Gaiden 2 give rise to a series of dramatic events to create a truly compelling story. From Tokyo to New York and to the Netherworld, the story leads you through a 30-hour story mode as you skillfully maneuver Ryu Hayabusa through a demonized world fraught with peril and danger. In addition to the single-player campaign, upload Karma scores to Xbox LIVE® leaderboards and participate in an all-new Master Ninja Tournament.

Mass Effect - Nov 07 - Start the Fight!!!

Bitches!!

2007-09-12 21:39:37

Well Op we dont know how that auto-regenerating health system works...I might think of it something like Halo, Rainbow Six Vegas...etc., but how are we suppose to take it easy toregenerate our helath during the combat of master ninjas at us.


Acert
1. what is SS?

2. Yes, graphically its yet not up to NG Sigma, but im sure it will be, just like the devs for NG Sigma said that once it is completed it will look much better, and it did, samething can go to NG2.

DMC4 and HS looks better graphically but combat...it all comes in different story.

I for one im a 3rdperson action/adventure nut, so HS, DMC4 and NG2 is up there, with HS close, one is to go :D.

But I just can't wait for Devil May Cry 4 at the moment because its closer to release and such than NG2.

NG2 has its own place...late 2008 :D

30hr Single player? WoW, this game is gonna once again blow every other 3rd person action game out of the water.

2007-09-12 23:09:35

It took me between 20 and 30 to complete the original my first play-through. Now I can do it in less than half that.

I see a lot of completion times thrown around in reviews and previews lately, and it's pretty worthless IMO.

Anyone know if MS will have the pre-TGS presser on live? It sounds they'll be doing what they did last year for TGS, but it'd great to see NG2 and LO playable right now.
