Been a while since I updated this so be ready to do a lot of watching if you haven't kept your eye on things.
Japanese action trailer A trailer nothing much to say about it besides that what appear to be cutscenes look good and that I like the music in the trailer.
Epic japanese trailer 8 minutes of ninja fun :D gameplay, story, and intrigue...sadly the intrigue...well don't understand japanese so can't really tell anything about that. What I noticed most in this one is that the graphics ain't super but they ain't bad either. Also all of the videos are a bit lacking in quality so I'd say it'll look a bit better when actually running the game on your own tv.
These two were a bit older.
Now for new ones.
Striker gameplay As I said before all low quality videos so expect it to look better on your tv. As for the video :D this is what we all want ain't it. I'm loving those kills, especially the one with Rikimaru where he's under the floor, then knocks the guy out with the tatami mat and then drags him under the floor as well. That's just awesome. There also seem to be a lot more kills with just using your hands without always having to draw your sword which was something I always found weird in previous games. They are ninjas after all they should be able to do stuff like this so I'm glad to see it in this one.
Ooh and also love the one where Rikimaru uses the fishing rod to hook onto an enemy and then drags him into a fire and sets him aflame. Also poisoning the water so that when the guards drink from it they die without you having to lift a finger...hehehe I love it. It's sneaky sneaky.
Slayer gameplay Some more stealth kills and general swordplay.
All in all from what I've seen from the game so far I'm liking it. Always liked the Tenchu series.
The game looks good enough for me. The kills look good. Also love that they use more hand to hand combat or sneak up and kill the guard with his own sword and all that stuff.
Another thing is the creating shadows and sticking to the shadows...I don't get why they didn't do it sooner. I love being all sneaky and I like getting around without having to unshead my sword even once if possible so this will be a big help to me.
I'm not overly excited or anything about the game. It probably won't be getting any great reviews either. But what I do know already is that I'll be putting in hours on this sucker again to get my grand master ranking back on all levels and all dificulties.
