After being let down by part 2 i could care less about Ninja Gaiden 3, hell but who knows it could bounce back like Devil May Cry 3 did.

Graphics look slightly better at best. I guees I need to see these pics on a 1080p tv. Still plan to get this. Sucks to only have one playable character. Good thing you can customize.

This does not please me in the slightest..... they should have just sticked to the co-op multiplayer like in NGS2. I just hope there are no more BS trophies in this one. Having to beat a game 7-8 times when there are only 4 difficulties is wasting people's time. Also...why does everyone have the same weapons, can I has tonfas please?

Everyone has swords because they have gone on record to say that swords will be the only type of weapon they will focus on, different varieties of swords, but still all swords. They don't want an over the top action game anymore. They want more realism...which Ryu was never about.
No Vigoorian Flails
No Scythe
No Tonfas
No Lunar
No Falcon Talons
Also, it's an 8 hour campaign with a focus on the human element, which means no monsters, fiends or any fantasy creatures, oh also NO NINJAS as well (only the power ranger battles in multiplayer).
Read the Peter Ganza interviews, it's all in there.
This game became suspect to me as soon as the first enemy crawled AWAY from Ryu and started to beg (not towards him aggressively like NG2 did). As more info is given out, the more disheartened with this franchise I become.
And yes, this does look like a mess, I can only imagine the lag and turtulefest that will take place. If it's anything like NGS2's lag, yeah no thanks.

I have high hopes for a Ninja Gaiden multiplayer game, but my gut tells me it's probably gonna fail.
Here's hoping its just bad gas.

I'm going to say it here and now, the multiplayer will be complete and utter sheeet. Lag will be the worst issue in it, with people constantly twitching and warping about from it, making any sword of tactical play impossible.
Also, I saw something about the game allowing you to betray your allies on purpose and kill them. Because that will totally go off without a hitch and not be used as a massive griefing tool.

I can see myself being the guy constantly using the flying swallow and Izuna drop just to make other players mad.
Honestly though, I would much prefer co-op. I don't remember them mentioning it for NG3 though.

I kinda like that it looks a little more like a traditional ninja setting instead of the futuristic gaiden one. I see no heads rolling, tho...

That's because they are using dull blades. Even 2004 NG you used a katana sharp enough to decapitate someone. But it's really all just censorship to sell the game to more regions.
