Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1171 Joined: 13 Aug 2008     | What i've just seen is basically a re-vamped version of the openning cutscene from Shinobi... then again i've never played Ninja Gaiden. |

Two Worlds? That was an awful one by all accounts. |

You know they are making a sequel, right? So far the screenshots look pretty enough... More like Gothic than anything. |

Limbo of the lost was the copycat game of infamy |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 515 Joined: 23 Jul 2008    | Yeah, so far this "Ninja Blade" has the setup for a flopped ripoff. Though I'd rather it not. There are certain... aspects of Ninja Gaiden where I'd like to see improvement, and a competitor might just be the thing to kick them in the right direction. |

Four Worlds? But yeah, it was that Limbo game thing. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2174 Joined: 14 Nov 2007 | Ah, I'm with you now. |

There's a difference between competition and a straight up rip-off. That being said, I would laugh my ass off if this turned out better the NG. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 515 Joined: 23 Jul 2008 |
Exactly. I'd rather it be the former, even though it looks very much like the latter. |

I think this is the same company responsible for the last couple of Tenchu games. Take from that what you will... |
King of the Yetis  Posts: 2539 Joined: 15 Jul 2008  | My reaction was "Ninja Blade? Seriously?" Why not just call it 'Sword guy' and get it over with. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2240 Joined: 12 Oct 2007   | The fighting system better be up to par with NG. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4269 Joined: 13 Aug 2008    | That's the same company/developer that makes the Tenchu series, so It's not like they suddenly thought "Hey, people seem to like this Ninja Gaiden, why don't we make a Ninja game?" |
Beat Writer  Posts: 138 Joined: 4 Aug 2008     | well at least they are re-making ninja gaiden with a different name this time |
BANNED  Posts: 6317 Joined: 29 Nov 2007    | Hmmm, I'm not one to form opinions based on PRE-RENDERED CUSTSCENES... So, it might have something going on for it, but the first impression was that it looked too much like Ninja Gaiden. User was banned for: The hypocrisy is KILLING me.. (Permanent) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1171 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | Why am i under the impression that i'm the only person in this thread that hasn't played Ninja Gaiden or that i'm the only one who's played Shinobi for the PS2? I mean really that trailer is just the scene where Shinobi was falling from a helicopter towards the streets of Tokyo, just with some monsters added to it. The armour and mask he's wearing also looks ridiculously like Shinobis. But solely saying it's ripping off Ninja Gaiden alone is a bit much. Or are we accusing anything with Ninjas of Ripping off Ninja Gaiden now? (be aware i'm not standing up for this game, noticeably unoriginal concepts are just as bad in my books, i'm simply saying there ARE other games it's ripped off style-wise.) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4269 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | Oh god dammit not again. Curse you Archemitis! On topic: Tenchu? Remember tenchu? those were about Ninja. this is made by the same people. Therefore, not a blatant copy of the Ninja Gaiden formula |

They can't use "Sword Guy" because I plan on making a game with that title. And "Gun Shoot!" is the sequel. Just you wait, it will be huge. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 692 Joined: 28 Aug 2008   | Yep, that is a lawsuit worthy rip-off of Shinobi´s intro for the PS2. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2240 Joined: 12 Oct 2007 |
That's true but look at the style of the video, you don't think Tenchu when you see that. |

Whilst strolling around IGN Avenue, I came across a rather interesting article. There's a new game coming out from From Software called Ninja Blade, and to be quite frank, I'm getting deja vu, and not in a good way.
First, the trailer
Now, some choice quotes from the developers:
Anyone else get the feeling From Software are trying to emulate a certain successful Ninja game for the Xbox? The monsters in the trailer look like they could have been Team Ninja creations. The moody Tokyo setting definitely looks reminiscent of NGII. And the main character Ken bears a striking resemblance to Ryu. I know games all have their influences, but I think this definitely crosses into 'uninspired' territory.
Incidentally, check out the trailer on the IGN page. The logo at the end is almost identical to the NG logo. Link
