First Tenchu 360 screenshots

JeuxFrance (Babelfish ftw) has a nice amount of new screenshots for the first next-gen title in the Tenchu series. The original Tenchu game on the PSX was pretty good and well received but the series has gone downhill ever since. This next-gen version contains a bunch of new features including character customization (create-a-ninja) and a ‘a better management of the stealth kills.’. Screenshots after the jump.

Afterwards many disappointments on PlayStation 2 and Xbox, the Tenchu series will try to enter the era next gen by the large door with this new opus on Xbox 360, intended to appear as of next October for Japan. In the register of the innovations, one will quote for example the possibility of creating his own ninja, like his fellow traveller. The developers also announce more developed IA to us, as well as a better management of the stealth kills. While waiting to know some a little more about this episode Xbox 360, From Software offers the first images of the play to us.

Seriously, Japanese devs really need to brush up on their graphics-skills, Capcom seems to be one of few Japanese developers that actually knows how to create next-gen graphics. Tenchu is expected this October in Japan but it seems as though From Software has some work to do before release…

I’ll stick to Splinter Cell, a real mans game with top notch graphics and not some crappy ps2/xbox ported grpahics

But to be fair Tenchu has never looked great not even on the ps2 or xbox ,it was all about the gameplay and it had plenty of that even in the ps1 days,people shouldn’t judge a book by its cover,I love splinter cell, but you cant beat running someone through with a blade in the dead of night(despite the crappy graphics) :-)

can’t we get 1 jap game thats up to FFXIII quality … i mean god why is it every jap developer is slacking so hard on graphics? its insane

The Japanese only care about cutscenes, cutscenes, and cutscenes, oh and throw an overrated RPG in there.

That’s why they’re so excited about blu-gay, so they can put hours and hours of more cutscenes. Forget the game, we’re making a movie!

lame.

these japanese developers arent putting resources into the next gen games because they dont know yet how well the consoles are going to sell in japan. console gaming is on the downslide there and almost all the japanese developers are gravitating to the DS and the Wii because of cheaper development cost. the ps3 and 360 may be in for a hard road ahead when it comes to japanese support if the japanese continue to lose interest in traditional consoles. square enix already said if the ds and wii dragon quest games sell well worldwide, a given almost, that the series will be a nintendo exclusive. this may happen alot if people find the 360 and ps3 too enxpensive.

but what ever, we still got bioware, bungie, and rockstar over here.

I think the graphics could be better, but at the same time i think they are pretty nice. Have you seen it in motion? Amazing game play. The animation could be a little less stiff but then again animation has always been clunky for this series.

So, your saying this series is renowned for being below par? That’s ok is it?

Did you just say Jap? Why is my WW2 vet grandfather posting on IC?

Why? Is Jap racist? I don’t think it is.

Perhaps the Political Correctness brigade might think it is but they are usually so full of shit their opnions don’t count.

Japanese = Jap
Scottish = Scot

How is one more racist than the other, beacuse I have never heard anyone complain on my behalf for being termed as a Scot?

no trigger man he’s saying that the ANIMATION thats ANIMATION has always been below par, gameplay has been some of the most enjoyable in a game and thats more than ok

See, that’s what pisses me off, people accept the fact “it’s below par,” so the developer doesn’t do anything about it. This is next gen, we should always be above par.

It’s never next gen. It’s current gen. Just like it’s never tomorrow.
Previous gen is the Original Xbox. Current gen is the Xbox 360. Next gen would be the Xbox 720.

No, only when all major consoles are out can the name “current gen” be adopted.

The graphics are lame, but i will say back on the ps1 the game was good, but the problem is, that was back on the ps1 lol… i think they could take the time to spice up the graphics and to make the animation a tad bit better than being comparable to the playstation 1.

but theres a difference in looking like gamecube graphics..and looking like ps1 graphics lol :P

Comment by aries on 2006-07-31 05:13:43 | Reply

its looks better than the previous games in the series. so its not really fair to say the graphics are horrible, cause by ps1 and ps2 standards they are above par.

swords are cooler dan stupid guns if i wanted to kill people withid pick freekin bloody devil may cry 4 or 3 if i wanted to use guns for stealth its always rikimaru in tenchu always its more tradional with a sword

graphics does matter a little bit because you want not all the time i care mostly about the game play because if you av a good graphical game but one think wrong the game play is absoulotely shit
