I' m not sure these were supposed to be up on Xbox.com yet but it obviously signals the games appearance at TGS.

Looks to me like Ryu' s got some new moves. Check out the Shredder-esque gauntlets! Heh, you can even cut people in half!

I seems the same 3d engine and models as always

I do like the blood and flying limbs in one of those pics .

It' s built on the same engine Sigma uses, although Bishonen knows more about that than i do.

Sigma looks better. They should' ve done the game on the PS3 because outdated hardware like the 360 just can' t do a sequel with worthy graphics.

...Where' s Tiz?

It was kinda funny at first, but its somehow losts its charm!

Sigma at it' s best...



I guess without seeing full size direct feed gameplay screens we won' t be able to properly comment on the graphics, but i like the style. This game is going to fcuking destroy DMC4, a million times over!

Off struggling with his sexuality somewhere?

Watch your words Flashing Dildo man. watch them carefully...

Totally awesome. Let' s see if Itagaki has spoken truth when he said that other developers will lose their motivation because this game is going to kick so much ass. Though I think it' s more likely that I am going to lose motivation trying to beat the first level on very easy difficulty if Itagaki makes this one a proper sequel.

WoooooohooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOoooooooooooOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About friggin' time too..... Now how does this baby move???

This and Versus XIII are two of the main reasons I am in this now-gen race...

Action, action, more action!!! Man, do those screenies look appetising must
see gameplay footage, must see it!

Also, it looks as if it may have taken a few steps towards a bit more of a
futuristic era:




Hopefully my " Gaiden in the city" wish has finally come true.... After completing
Sigma and biting more nails than I could chew at Rachel' s parts, it is about time
for some now-gen Gaiden!

I like the name IMeReDiTHI.... My excuse is, I am a Grey' s anatomy fan...

Pah! Struggling with my sexuality... Anyone in London wanna hit Soho this
weekend?

Not bad but heavenly sword looks better

In an ideal world i' d like fully mo-cap' d animations but somehow i think we' ll be stuck with the same old hand animated animations we' ve seen in the 3 versions of the last game.

The game page and screens have been removed from Xbox.com confirming my suspicions that the game is making it' s " debut" at TGS (which means that Microsoft are taking the event more serious than last year, possibly meaning more new Japanese games being announced for the system). TGS starts in 9 days, Microsoft' s keynote is in 9 days and i' m guessing this will be taking centre stage. I' m guessing a trailer, all realtime, comprised of cutscenes and gameplay.

This is Dragon Sword...



This is 2...



See the building in the background and the tree with the pink petals? There' s the same location.

Dragon Sword takes place 6 months after Ninja Gaiden, so who knows.

Even still, the hand animations look bleedin' good.

Have that countdown constantly up now, I need to see this in motion quickly,
hopefully there is a media blowout of this.

I think Sigma at the moment consists of more detail, but NG2 has better character
models, however, NG2 is work in progress, so I expect a greater amount of
detail to make it in before the end of production.

Here' s another screenshot just in case anyone missed it:



Looks a bit more like an open ended environment than the ones plaguing the
first 3 Ninja Gaiden games.. Here' s hoping Ryu, has quite a few more Ninja
know-how tactics than his previous outings, he definitey needs that grapple hook
from his ending cinema in DOA4, that could really open up battle and
manoeuvrability possibilities.. However, re-iterating what Nitro said...... Only in
a perfect world.

Deliciously cool! Although I was hoping for a completely new engine to run this bad boy. Once again we have to put up with recycled stuff. Guess we' ll have to wait for DOA5 for that new engine?

Gameplay should be nothing short of spectacular. This won' t be a wimpy remake by some Itagaki wannabe. This is where the real shit is at.

I knew you' d show up Tiz. I know you better than you think I do

OK enough about Gaiden

WARHAWK NOW!!!!!

Damn right I' d show up. This is Gaiden. I hope now we don' t have a Heavenly Sword
style flop on our hands, if I everhear the news " Sai Tong Man has been employed
by TeamNinja to head up combat development" ....

I' ll take my own life.

Someone find me a picture of SaiTong Man please, so I can blow it up to A1 size
and fire twing-twang at him all day.

SaiTong Man knows everything there is to know about COMBAT...Gaiden could learn a thing or two from heavenly sword.

Tiz, are you in the CoD4 beta?

Tiz, are you in the CoD4 beta?

I went through that Eurogamer thing, now I' m just waiting for selection... It
said they' d let me know... But I have received nothing yet...

When does the Beta actually finish? I was going to pass i up, but then I thought,
it' s a BETA, how much harm could it prove...?

Any idea how long I may have to wait, even though I applied to join last Friday??
