MarketTantrik Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 NINJA BLADE Developer From Software Publisher Microsoft Game Studios Designer Masanori Takeuchi (producer) Composer Norihiko Hibino Platform Xbox 360 Release date TBA 2009 Mode Single-player Official home page Ninja Blade is an action adventure game set within modern day Tokyo. Parasites known as alpha-worms have mysteriously appeared, unleashing a wave of human destruction as they rapidly spread east, reaching the shores of Tokyo. With the future of humankind hanging in the balance, an exclusive and elite team possessing highly specialized skills is formed to eliminate the enemy onslaught, and ultimately save mankind from complete obliteration. Unique ninja abilities: Use your Ninja Vision to detect and analyze potential enemy weak points, secret paths, and hidden information within the environment, but be careful, as you are susceptible to extra damage while using your vision. And perform the todomé attack to destroy an enemy's core (heart), by dealing a fatal wound. Balanced and calculated use of both these abilities will be critical to progressing through the game. Variety of weapons, tools, and Ninjutsu: Specialized ninja powers offer an enticing array of options. Varied environments force players to think strategically about which set of weapons and tools will be most effective at conquering the different levels. From dual wielding swords to grapple wire hooks to grenades, every item has distinctive features and characteristics, so choose wisely! Ninjutsu is a special power that results in an explosive electrical force to either stun enemies or protect oneself from attack. Only true Ninja Masters can achieve this technique. Interactive quick-time events: Scattered throughout integral parts of the storyline, characters come across various quick-time events providing the opportunity to directly interact with in-game cutscenes. Quick reflexes are rewarded during the intense battles. Modern realism: Ninja Blade offers a fresh twist to the classic ninja saga by basing all 3-D gaming maps directly from the actual skyscrapers and building tops in modern day Tokyo.

MarketTantrik Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 New Ninja Blade Xbox 360 Screenshots From: http://www.dailygame.net/news/archives/008461.php __________________________________________________________ From Software is known for developing very stylistic games, from Otogi: Myth of Demons to Armored Core for Answer, among others. Their next project is a first-party game from Microsoft called Ninja Blade. In Ninja Blade, which takes place high atop the skyscrapers of Tokyo, Ken Ogawa and his team of ninjas are deployed to destroy an infected monster horde and stem the spreading disease. After narrowly escaping betrayal and death, Ogawa is left to fight the daunting battle alone. Armed with an arsenal of specialized ninja weapons, tools and skills, players must fight insurmountable odds to restore peace to Tokyo. Microsoft has just released three new in-game screens from Ninja Blade, which we've included below for your viewing pleasure. Although From Software has never been a graphical slouch, It's obvious that the studio is doing things graphically on Xbox 360 that many developers are hard-pressed to achieve on the PS3.

BuffMonkey Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 The story is supposed to be lame. Something about you having ninja vision and only your clan/tribe/family having it. which enables you to pwn all these beasts lol but the gameplay action should be good eitherway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Ninja Gaiden II with better graphics is good enough for me. If its better than NG II then all the better. But the graphics looks pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 NG II is too good playing it and loving it....I have a feeling it will not be able to match up to it...But i will be happy to be proven wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Ninja Gaiden II with better graphics is good enough for me. If its better than NG II then all the better.

MarketTantrik Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Except for the fact that they dont show any combat in that video But the clothing, armor, the dive off the skyscraper, etc. are all reminiscent of NG II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 What Nash might be talking about is the QTEs shown in the gameplay demonstrations, something that Ninja Blade seems to use a lot of. Think less Ninja Gaiden, and more God of War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
