Ninja Blade gets shaky-cammed pre-TGS
After the break. Not being funny, but to say Ninja Gaiden was an “influence” on this is putting it mildly.
There are three videos there. The majority of the first one’s an inventory screen, from the look of it. The second one’s fighting. The third one’s the ninja sliding down the side of a building and fighting a massive spider while doing QTEs.
Seriously, his hat even looks the same. See for yourself. Thanks, Blerk.

Doesn’t look too bad. A bit ‘God of Gaiden’. Enemies appear to be as dumb as bricks, however. Hope this was set to “journalist” skill level just for the show demo.

The first two videos were total meh, but the third one, with the tearing down the side of the building looked great.

I never played Ninja Gaiden but how is this different besides slow motion and quick time events when in the air?
Also, inventory?
