Wow, that in game footage is pretty incredible with that Naruto game there.

Foetoid @ Sep 7th 2008 8:43PM

Will someone please tell me what game that is on the video. Yes i know its Naruto, yes i am a huge fan (and have all the recent Shippuudens on my PC) but i havent seen that preview before. Is there an exclusive Naruto game hitting the Ps3 or something cause i love the look of it. I've already got Rise of a Ninja on 360 and Clash of Ninja Revolution on Wii (plus im getting both sequals) but this looks amazing.

Wah-hah-ha! @ Sep 7th 2008 9:24PM

I could never get into Naruto games, despite loving the show

I dunno. Same thing happened with DBZ

Wah-hah-ha! @ Sep 7th 2008 9:23PM

Few games make my jaw drop anymore, but wow.

I got some questions for the PS fanboy site.

1. Are there any plans to release Siren Bloodcurse on blu-Ray in the USA?

2. Do you have any information on the current status of Playstation Exclusive (and jaw dropping amazing looking) game WARDEVIL? I haven't heard much since E3 a few years ago. Is is still in production as a game or just a movie now?

3. Any word on when the PSN pre paid shopping cards will be hitting retail shelves? With all the talk of accounts being compromised I don't want my CC on file.

4. Does white knight chronicles have a North American release date?

THANK YOU FOR THE ANSWERS!!!

THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!

Is it just me, or wasn't Ninja Storm supposed to be a heckuva lot better, graphics-wise? I noticed Orochimaru's hair, Jiraiya, and Tsunade didn't look as good as they do in the anime...more blocky. I thought this game was going to be touted as "more anime-like than the anime itself"...or something along those lines...

You have impossibly high standards. I suggest looking at the episode this references. Mainly because majority of the background was shite, this version does look better. Same thing when the giant slug explodes. This version is better.

Won @ Sep 8th 2008 11:53AM

Sheppy, it's not so much that my standards are impossibly high. But people have been bashing Broken Bond, which I have seen footage of. I personally think that the backgrounds in it are amazing, but that the characters are pretty lacking. I was too busy to really check out Ninja Storm, but after seeing this video, I don't really see what the hype is about Ninja Storm over Broken Bonds, because people have been saying that the graphics in Ninja Storm utterly blow that of Broken Bond. So I was just expecting it to completely dominate the anime as well, in every regard.

Eh @ Sep 8th 2008 2:55AM

The naruto games have incredible art and graphics, its just too bad the gameplay cant match up. I wish that graphics team would work on more important titles, they have a lot of talent.

Sheppy (of the Fidlious Clan of Wong) @ Sep 8th 2008 8:21AM

Those Naruto games will sell, "more important titles" likely not so much. If you're good at the anime license stuff, why give away that check to someone else?

Eh @ Sep 9th 2008 1:09AM

Im not sure what you thought I meant by "more important titles" if you think they sell worse than Naruto. These Naruto games are 7's or low 8's if the reviewer is in a generous mood, but the graphics are worthy of a franchise that scores in the 9's. They need to work for better games instead of wasting their time on these forgettable titles.
