Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Gets Sexy

The ladies found in Ninja Gaiden are some sexy assassins. The skimpy outfits, tight bodies, and looks could kill people easily. In the latest Japanese commercial, they get even sexier.

4 playable characters, as I didn't like the first part, I think I'll give a go this one.

Gue15367d ago

If you didn't liked the first then I do not think that you'll like this one either.

InfectedDK5367d ago

As long as theese ladies can fight I'm in..
The game looks great and I'm for sure getting it.

Yi-Long5367d ago

...and was excited about this 2nd one...

... BUT WHERE IS ALL THE BLOOD FFS!?!?

I'm sorry, but when I play a ninja-game where I slice as many opponents up as possible with a sharp object, I do want to see blong flying anywhere, but this little clip has almsot NOTHING.

I could slightly understand (not really) they toned the violence a BIT down compared to the 360 version of NG2, but this is just ridiculous.

Hopefully they only toned it down just for this commercial, and maybe we'll have some options in the final game to adjust the gore-settings, but I don't like my games being censored like this... :(

IdleLeeSiuLung5367d ago (Edited 5367d ago )

Sorry to disappoint you as much as it disappoints me too, but that is the extent of it. Get the 360 version if you want the game the way Itagaki intended it or get this reworked edition with Co-op.

I got the 360 version and will be getting the Limited Edition of this game as well.

Redempteur5367d ago

there is only one bloody ninja gaiden ... - (guess witch one )

The others ninja gaiden games didn't need blood to be good AND to be fun to play ...
i didn't see THAT much blood in DMC4 and it was still a good game ( you know the guys that cut things with their GREAT swords ? )

And so far i don't see that much blood in bayonetta either .

In fact the only bloody action games are ng2(360) and gow3( ps3 ).
And by bloody i mean A LOT OF BLOOD

Yi-Long5367d ago

... I never said the game needs blood to be good. I'm saying I would have prefered it if it would have had the blood in it.

I love Ninja Gaiden for many things, and the blood is 1 aspect I loved about it. I see no reason whatsoever why it should be censored.

Again, I agree it doesn't affect actual gameplay, but TO ME, it does slightly affect the enjoyment I get from it: I love seeing blood and limbs fly all over the place while I'm slashing away. Not because I'm a gore-junkie (I'm not. In fact, I hate horror-flicks, gore-flicks, shock-flicks, and ditto for games), but just because it kinda enhances the action. It just gives it all a bit more 'impact', a bit more 'whoomp!'. Hard to explain, but FOR ME it just gives it that little bit extra.

And I don't care how much gore other games have. This is Ninja Gaiden, and the way it was intended to be enjoyed was to have as much kick-ass cool stuff and decaps and blood-fountains in it as possible ;)

I'll still wait for the Sigma 2 reviews to come in, and I REALLY hope there will at least be an OPTION to turn the gore up a bit, but if not, I might just pick up the 360 version for 10 bucks orso and maybe pick up Sigma 2 when it hits the bargain-bins sometime next year orso...

AKNAA5367d ago

It will be Sexy Time!... while killing a whole bunch of baddies..

pain777pas5365d ago

First you have the locks Uncharted 2, MW2 and Dragon age thats $150 gone or more right there. Now we move on to sports games and Broken destiny and PSP memory card upgrade lets say $220. Then we move on to possible GT anouncement PS3 and PSP and Ratchet $140. You see where I'm going with this.........

Thank you Xbox 360 owners for Beta testing Ninja Gaiden 2 for us

Gue15367d ago

I think that he's trying to say "sexier!".

schommerc5367d ago

Not for everyone.

But this just turned a couple heads I'm sure lol.

jwatt5367d ago

It should sell alot in Japan.

dabri55367d ago

UGH what horribly gimped visuals! Would of looked 20x better if it had been exclusive to PS3! I can't buy this anymore as it is too ugly to be allowed on my TV.

>.>
<.<

^____________^

ZombieAutopsy5367d ago

im not 100% on this but im pretty sure NGS2 uses an engine made for the ps3 i think its an updated version of the engine used on the first Sigma. Ill admit if they would of took time to make a new engine from the ground up and took a few years reworking the game itd be alot better looking than it is now but its still a good looking game.

5367d ago
Xeall5367d ago

Wow, just wow, NG2 had great graphics on the original release and will be updated for the Ps3, be it due to the ps3 itself or the time passed since the release.

The only thing that worries me about this title is the apparent fight against the Statue of Liberty. I'm all for new boss fights, but come on!

DarkOcelet2999d ago

I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.

Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.

I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.

Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme

One of my proudest trophies :)

skcej2998d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku772998d ago (Edited 2998d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19842999d ago

I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13303d ago (Edited 3303d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773303d ago (Edited 3303d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3303d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3303d ago (Edited 3303d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113303d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

3303d ago
freshslicepizza3303d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3303d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773303d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3303d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3303d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3303d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3303d ago

Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.

I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
