Continuing tonight's theme of videos about ninjas, we bring you the brand-new trailer for the upcoming PS3 title: Ninja Gaiden Sigma.
Ryu Hayabusa has always been the epitome of ninja chic. From his early days on the original NES, to that time he made out with my girlfriend at that Metric concert, he has always been the man to look up to if you had aspirations of one day running along a wall, stabbing three guys in the face, doing a backflip and making a tremendously sexist quip, all in one swift motion.
Thankfully, unlike the last video I showed you guys, this trailer is full of pure ninja awesome. Aside from having a hidden mode where you could control a liquid-metal Robert Patrick as he hunts down John Connor, this video couldn't have been more true to the spirit of the traditional ninja.
Also, Tecmo, if you're reading this, I get sixty or seventy emails every day asking when you're going to include Robert Patrick in one of your games, so if you could make that happen, I would appreciate it.
Looks a bit too easy compared to the xBox version don't you think? Trying a combo on a boss was nearly impossible and here you see Ryu taking several ennemys with a single combo.. I dunno, they significantly reduced the difficulty for what I saw.
uh dude... I', sure its just the trailor
I doubt the difficulty would be reduced at all
I doubt tecmo would be like "well everyone knows this game is really tough, I know! lets make it laughably easy!"
besides its just game play footage, it isn't your average joe playing, its some ninja master. they want it to look good as a trailer, would it look good on ryu if it was just him getting his ass kicked?
As a person now unfamiliar with the Ninja Gaiden series, it would appear that NG Sigma=God of War 3 from that sequel. Now, it's not that God of War is a bad game, but we (or at least I) really don't want our major franchises blending together. Am I wrong about this? Does it play differently for some reason?
Also, that woman's boulders are bigger than her head. An unnecessary trend, IMO. Unless there are combos that unleash said mammaries in a fit of nipple-thrusting rage.
From that trailer it looks pretty much exactly like Ninja Gaiden on the original Xbox, except with better graphics. Even the bosses looked the same. Granted the dragon has flesh this time.

As near as I can tell, it's the same goddamn game, but with some extra challenges, a few new enemies, and you can also dual-wield katanas now. So it's a safe bet that nobody in the game is dead as of the beginning of Sigma, not even that poor nameless bastard you kill in the opening cutscene.
Oh yeah, and Tits McGee is playable now. I almost forgot about that part.
God of War is more of a button masher, Ninja Gaiden's fighting system is very in-depth. Don't worry about them blending together, Ninja Gaiden beats the piss out of God of War any day.
Why can't Team Ninja make a game where the women in it actually have an ass? Seriously, Rachel's got the goods on the top rack, but her rear bumper is as flat as the Earth in the fourteenth century. C'mon Itagaki, stick some junk in the trunk, men love a woman with a big juicy kadunkadunk.

game looks nice, I'll pick it up when it hits.

I thought that big tittied bitch was dead?
I want a full sequel though... :(
