I love Ninja Gaiden. But is it just me, or does the excessive gore always feel a bit... off?
It's stylish ninja action. Sure, there's license for some amount of blood, obviously, but with the 360 version of NG2, and now this first scan of NG3, it's like they're aiming for Splatterhouse levels of gore.
It's not like I have some holier-than-thou attitude about gore; I'm absolutely fine with it in something like a Splatterhouse, by all means.
But Ninja Gaiden?
I guess I can't speak for NG3, since we've seen nothing else out of it yet so we can only guess at the atmosphere for it, but it doesn't seem quite right in NG2. It's not a horror game. Hell, not even Devil May Cry has that kind of blood, and DMC is pretty much horror-themed itself.
I much prefer Sigma 2, where they sort of toned it down to the general level of the first game.

Of course, in all likelihood it might fit a little better in motion, so I'll reserve any actual judgment. Not like it'll keep me from playing it, as Ninja Gaiden is fucking excellent with or without blood.

Move compatible, I would imagine. I'm sure they aren't dumb enough to make it Move-exclusive.

No OL, just no. This statement just kills the whole argument. I was willing to listen but theres no way Sigma with its inane DRM, pussified difficulty, and silly motion controls comes close to the original Ninja Gaiden 2 (which wasn't great to start with) I mean less blood then 2 sure, but not like Sigma 2, that was one of the main reasons its so boring.

Theres also a number of changes they made under the hood that make it way inferior, so much that even the extra content doesn't make up for it.

As for the blood its actually a big part of 3d Ninja gaiden, as it gives ryu's attacks more "oomph". Seeing him slice a guy in half only to see well, nothing, is disappointing. However seeing him tear into a group with a scythe and then seeing him clean his blade (which ninja are supposed to do) and see the splattered remains of his enemies on the wall is just more fun.

Plus Splattrhouse has the same amount of horror elements as Ninja gaiden (zombies, demons,round trips to hell,etc) they're both just action games.

now shush before i put my finger in your bum

Funny I was not big on NG on Xbox but LOVED Otogi despte both being brutally hard. Maybe the aesthetics appealed to me more. I only liked the original NG on NES despite never beating it.

IMO its been more like this OL.

Anyway, i do agree with you to some extent, never played Sigma 2, never had a problem with the gore in NG2, but with the blood splattering everywhere, being pretty much the central focus of the trailer (other then the unmasking ofcourse), sort of makes me think they are going to kick it up a notch with NG3, I just hope it doesn't become really over the top gory, like God of War.
