Microsoft has released tons of images and videos from Ninja Gaiden 2 today, revealing different staffs and maps from the game in horribly compressed videos.
Update: Information and image of upcoming DLC added
Microsoft has through the XCN announced that a costume will be available for 39 000 gamers. Press release:
Inspired by the Hayabusa family’s namesake, the falcon, this demonic costume mirrors the intensity of Ryu’s vengeance and fury as he fights to regain the honor of his clan. It’s almost as if he’s been transformed into a Fiend by the evil powers of the underworld with this costume – but retains all the honor of the Hayabusa Ninja Clan."
Starting July 2008, Xbox Live members worldwide will be able to download 3 unique Hayabusa costume packs for 200 MS points each to use in Ninja Gaiden II. Each costume pack is a completely new and never before seen look for our Ninja hero, Ryu Hayabusa.
The first of the 3 costume pack designs is being revealed today. This will be exclusively available in selected countries to 39,000 gamers on launch day as part of pre-sale or launch promotions with specific retail partners. Look for more details on other two designs and specific country promotions to be revealed in the coming weeks. Go to xbox.com/ng2 or your favorite retailer to pre-order Ninja Gaiden II today!

Commented on 2008-05-08 19:30:45 In reply to FarooqUnique titles like LBP and MotorStorm are way more captivating than already stellar FPS titles like KZ2 and Resistance 2, that add up to a great mix, especially with upcoming MGS4, Siren and Gran Turismo 5...
As for lineup... it could easily be argued that Microsoft has the biggest line up of the 2. The ps3 has mgs4 and resistance left to push out this year (unless resistance gets pushed back like killzone2). Where as Microsoft has an instant counter in gears of war 2, a new halo game, fable, a square exclusive, and a gta4 expansion pack.... which if its a new island, and multiplayer (which its rumoured to be a hell of alot more than simply a few missions)..who wouldnt want to play more of the biggest selling game in gaming history?
Commented on 2008-05-08 19:34:30 In reply to FarooqAs for better looking? sure.. if you like games in a lower resolution with a noticable worse draw distance, go for it.
Commented on 2008-05-08 19:43:39 In reply to CockKnockerwhatever. ill prolly buy it just cause its Ninja Gaiden.
These forums have really gone downhill in the passed year, the stench of trollish fanboys is almost unbearable. I almost wish Snoops, BlimBlim and Manager didn't do such a damn fine job in covering these games and putting out some of the best videos on the internet so I could quit, oh well, I guess everything good has it's price.

MS paid 50 million just so they could sell over 60,000 more in a big territory? Nah, I don't think so. MS is just doomed you know.

Commented on 2008-05-08 20:07:07Anyway this game is going to be great, I love the art, I am going to love the gameplay and I really just cant wait.
Commented on 2008-05-08 20:12:23Team Ninja has been nothing BUT a slouch in the graphics department this generation. This game is no different.
Commented on 2008-05-08 20:17:41 In reply to FarooqAs for your GTA4 comment.. thats in the UK alone, i think the world wide sales difference is in the millions. But it was the uk that the fanboys were all over the rumours of the ps3 version outselling the 360 version 3-1. The uk is part of europe, and a territory where the ps3 is outselling the 360..so again the fact that one of the playstations biggest franchises sold more on another platform shows that many have their ps3 for a blueray player first, a games console second.
All of which makes your reasoning about microsoft being doomed pointless when we're talking about computer games.

Commented on 2008-05-08 20:39:49 In reply to synce2) mgs4 gamers and ng2 gamers are 2 different beast, i for one will be getting mgs4 and ng2, but there are many ng2 fans that will be getting it for the hellish action and mayhem it brings, mgs4 on the other hand dose not interest them, likewise most mgs4 fans are hankering for the great story telling and stealth/action gameplay that mgs4 will bring and ng2 dose not interest them.
So all in all i dont think mgs4 will hurt ng2 sales at all.

Commented on 2008-05-08 20:48:35Not many games do that anymore
It had been a long time since I thew a controller or got pissed at a game before the first one came out
Brings back a lot of old school gaming memories for sure, even in a next generation game
Commented on 2008-05-08 21:16:23 In reply to TinksI love challenging games. Too bad there isn't that many challenging games that there used to be.
Commented on 2008-05-08 21:21:15 In reply to Ezekiel_XzCan't wait to finally play this. We need more games with actual difficulty added to them like Ninja Gaiden.

The speed and the pace is about right for the game. If it is similar to NGB controls we're in for the best Adventure game in this gen, no contest. When you're playing yourself it's etirely diffrent from watching, nothig's random at all and you get used to the pace.

Commented on 2008-05-08 23:07:22I'll still get it day one, and if it's gameplay balances out nicely between combat, puzzlesolving and adventure like the first one I'm sure I'll really enjoy it. So my hope is that TN won't fuck up in that regard like they already did in the graphics department.
