As someone who played Ninja Gaiden on the NES years ago, I cannot wait.

Yep Troy Baker, not quite Nolan North.

This looks like Ninja Gaiden Gaiden.

That hawk stands in Judgement of that dude.

The slow-walk scene looks fucking stupid and forced.

Also, lots of QTE's and button mashing ... I'm bored.

metalsnakezeroon Jan. 27, 2012 at 12:15 p.m.

Wait, that was Troy Baker? So Kanji is a ninja?

Always liked the idea of Ninja Gaiden. Never enjoyed playing them.

@CptBedlam: I laugh at your complete ignorance of the depth of combat.

Graphically, this is boring as hell.

GO NINJA GO NINJA GO

Button mashing, Quick Time Events, Earpiece conversations... Devil's Third it is then.

Itwastuesdayon Jan. 27, 2012 at 12:20 p.m.

why aren't those guys trying to brutally murder the player?

Ugh... The camera... good gravy.

Sootyon Jan. 27, 2012 at 12:23 p.m.

Uhm what's up with the graphics? This looks like an original Xbox game almost...

Sigma and 2 looked far better.

Never cared for this series at all, where as Devil May Cry got it right with difficulty, pacing, balance, etc. This change up is nice.
