Remember a few weeks ago when it was revealed that Keith Richards snorted some of his father's ashes along with a ton of cocaine? Upon hearing that, I officially declared it to be the coolest thing in the history of humankind. Absolutely nothing could come close to pranging out on the remains of a loved one, and watching the above trailer does nothing to dissuade that notion.
According to the decade I grew up in, ninjas are supposed to be stealthy, deadly, and above all, totally radical. Tenchu Z, at least if this trailer is to be believed, tries to pass off some kind of realistic, documentarian look at ninjas as a video game! From Software seems to be going for Ken Burns' Ninjitsu, when they should be aiming for Jeff Spicoli's How to Disembowel Some Dude With Your Bong.
Tenchu is alot like the Dynasty Warriors series. I REALLY want them to get good, but they simply do the bare minimum that allows for a sequel. If you've played one, you've played them all, and each time you sit there wishing they would add ____ or ____. But they never will...
I hope Bulletwitch does not suffer the same fate. There were a few spectacular moments in that game, and if they listen to their critics and really man up for part 2, much in the same way that the Bloodrayne 2 team did, then Bulletwitch part duex will be one of the most enjoyable games of 200x.
Sorry, I got off on a bit of a rant there. Tenchu sucks.
I've been a long time fan of the franchise, but I hope it's better than a last offering on PS2...that game was pretty much a stealth kill to the series.
if they put as much work into metal gear (or even half?) into tenchu, it would be a sweet game. it always seems like it would be a great game and i play every iteration and keep getting let down.
*price is right losing sound*
Question. If you're going to have characters speak a language that's not correct for the setting anyway, why give them such pointlessly horrible accents?
Game looks very boring. When a trailer looks that bad, you do not have a winnar.
