Ninja Blade Demo: We Cut Some Guys, Watch

Looks cool...but I saw the enemy attack twice in about 4 minutes. Not too interesting.

I usually prefer cutting myself.But still awesome.

Hmm, I was somewhat interested in this game. After seeing NINJAS JUMPING FROM HELICOPTERS I was all like "Where do I sign?".

But I made it only a couple of minutes into that video after thinking "hmmm, yeeeeeahhh, I'll just wait for God Of War 3 thanks."

looks blah

you can never have too many ninjas.

I wonder if Itagaki would have taken his game and put into a futuristic setting at some point. I would have had a lot more faith in that, than this.

 What a lame looking QTE text font, it looks 80s neon cheap.

Looks like a knock off  of ninja gaiden that's super easy , it could be interesting, just maybe though.

ninjas + modern day = fail.
qte + hack and slash = fail.

fail + fail = not interested. although those are some pretty sleek camera effects in them cutscenes.

If last year proved anything, it's that zombies are the new trend.

The rewind to checkpoint is just awful. QTEs would impress me if they actually had 3 or 4 branching results.  Not that you want the game to be super-easy if you get all Perfects, but design 4 different levels of that building, and your result determines which window you crash into.  Just make it DIFFERENT.   Otherwise it's just a damn Laser disc game.  (Protip: always take the upper path.)

idk, hack n slash games bore me to death.

Looks like you're having a bit of trouble there, Jeff.

Wow im board. Ive played this.... Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2..... and Devil May Cry.... all of them.... and just about EVERY OTHER japan action game that ever came to America.

I really want this game to be good... but it won't be.

thiiiiiiisssssssss.......

To many quick time events.  Other than that looks pretty cool.

This game looks horrid....I'll just replay NG2 again if I want a ninja game.

Looks really boring as you said. You hack and slash dudes and occasionally you have to press a button in these cutscenes.

Looks like a  Microsoft Ninja Gaiden, with Force Unleashed quick time events. I hope they polish it up, but they probably won't.

Looks like a slow-paced Devil May Cry with a lot of quick-time events.
Probably just a rental for me...

I love the intro video. In a lot of these japanese games and movies people tend to react to things in such a ridiculously over the top way I can't help but laugh. Just watch the dude's reaction after the master hands him the sword. He does a super dramatic full-body turn after saying "I don't understand". I had to laugh.

Thanks for the tip pirate_republic. I'll be sure to take your anti-ninja advice.

I totally agree with Brackynews.  The first thing I thought when the spider came out and you missed that quicktime thing was, "Oh, dude, I totally hope it grabs him and you have to fight it off to save yourself to keep going!".  But then I realized that would be pretty awesome approach to QTE... and nothing I saw in this game looked awesome or fun to play AT ALL.  It's games like these that make me never want to play games again.

Also... Those first monsters... were protected from falling off the building by an invisible wall.  The least they could have done was allow that to happen.

Looked boring, but prolly rent it cause it looks like it might be fun for a day or 2

I'd disagree, it looks exciting to me. It also looks like an exact clone of Ninja Gaiden with a shit load of quicktime event based action. I have no interest whatsoever.

Looks okay!

Looks like an easy, extremely watered down Ninja Gaiden without half of the coolness. Also it heavily uses QTEs which is one of my most hated over-used game mechanics. In other words, this game looks BAD.

This would've been cutting edge a few years ago, but now it's just insanely generic.  It lacks creativity of any kind.  What god of war taught us is that QTE can be fucking awesome, like when through a QET event, you bash a dude's head with a door so hard that it rips off and the door opens the other way.  This QTE is just slash slash slash.  Yawn.

Or I could replay DMC4 on Dante Must Die difficulty or maybe get around to play Ninja Gaiden 2.
This looks like weak sauce.

Just imagine if this was a Capcom game. Needs more flair really... I mean, Dante would have killed that spider in less then a minute and with style. I liked the wall dive part though.

Wowowow, from the comments made here, people really think this isn't a good game.
Not that ReTarDedFisHy is saying otherwise.
There's too many QTEs, and they just repeat. Looks hella repetitive, too.
They need to do a lot of work on this before it'll start turning heads.
ReTarDedFisHy loves them ninjas though... it'd be a surprise if this game turns out to be good.
Maybe ReTarDedFisHy will buy a rental for his friend and check it out when this comes out.

It looks aliright but looks like its copying Ninja Gaiden too much.

...well if anything, at least it has ninjas and blades.
More than what I can say about most games.

That ninja is the lamest character ever

A lot of people seem to be down on this game, but it honestly doesn't look that bad to me. Maybe a little generic, but I could some people having fun with it.

LOL the 360's God Of War

So, it's a boring Ninja Gaiden wannabe? Count me out.

Looks like a fair bit of fun, some of the better qte's i've ever seen, lets you know when its coming but does something cool when you fail :)
Am i one of the only ones who seems to like this, but hates Ninja Gaiden?

One thing they need to do, its something that makes every game better, faster recovery time after being hit, i don't want to watch my dude elaborately stumble for 3 seconds.

Yeah, "played" through the demo last week (or rather, I suffered through the 10mins of fucking Dragons Lair in a metal S&M suit and about 45 seconds of pretty mindless button mashing combat), and that's enough for me. Will not be picking this up.

Ah, I was hoping for so much more... Looks like it needs to go back in the oven for about 2 years.

"Only the stealthiest, most highly-skilled ninjas among you can repeatedly mash a button with your thumb."

No thank you.

Looks awesome!

looks like a shitty ninja gaiden....

The game seems a little unpolished and your character doesn't appear to do enough damage. That said, it's an interesting concept that looks like a cross between Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden. I'll keep this game in my peripherals.

Yawn.  This game looks straight up dumb.

I'm gonna have to pass on this one.

The combat looked boring, the enemies just stood around. Also what's the point of a quick time event which rewinds itself if you fail?

I hope they improve on this.
