Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 . The next greatest anime fighting game. Online!

God I CANNOT stand the camera for this game!!!

That is my biggest issue with this series. NA2 = gdlk. GNT4 = very good.

But does this game with so much potential…especially in UNS2…have to have the shittiest camera known to man.

I guarantee, this game just like UNS1, won’t be taken as seriously. But hell maybe the net code will be fine and people will look past the shitacular camera.

I’ve said one million times before, that a game like this needs split screen (ala tenkaichi) with the camera focused behind the player’s character (and it works for the inputs this game requires).

This game is absolutely stunnning. But they fucked Gaara up to all hell. His awakening isn’t “the real” Kazekage mode (float). LAME!!!

“plays NA2 to sooth the irratation”

Just saw one of the vids. This isn’t a real fighter, it’s more like an FPS. Notice the camera goes BEHIND the characters. That shit never happens in a real fighter like Tekken.

Camera angle does look bad =/… I’m not sure how that alone defines the game’s genre though Shytagaki… or how it resembles anything like an FPS when it’s not even FP…

UN… 2 or 3 I think… was my favorite. I miss selectable ultimate/super/hyper jutsus =/

Can’t you teleport out of those in the pre-cinematic portion of the attack though?

That could be a good thing unless there’s a lot of braindead infinites like in some of the other games.

Just played the demo on XBL, the game reminds me of Virtual On!

I downloaded the demo, and while I think the graphics are nice, I find the gameplay to be really shallow, but I guess that’s kind of expected for anime fighters. I’d have to try out the full game to get better judgment of it.

^
nope, you’re spot on, UNS IS dead shallow, its the epitome of “colorful garbage”.
Sure the fights resemble the anime/manga in an aesthetic way, but as a fighting game it fails really hard.

I’ll probably still get it anyway coz I love(d) the anime :confused:

Seriously why can’t they just use a tenkaichi style camera (split screen), or say “fuck it” and go back to the 2d plain that made NA2 as gdlk as it is now?

I SERIOUSLY HOPE THERE’S CAMERA OPTIONS IN THE OPTIONS MENU!!!

Not buying this shit until that is confirmed.

And there better be 1v1 mode, fuck assist. :rolleyes:

^I think you can play without selecting assists, and even if you can’t; just don’t call them.

I rather enjoyed the demo, tho I feel the game could go with more attack buttons (or rather 2 attack buttons and one button for chakra, assign the shuriken or item attack button to a shoulder button or 2).
For that matter 2 strikers seems a lot IMO, 1 striker is enough, and for that matter, why have 2 buttons assigned to blocking?

Either way this game’ll be one I’ll play with friends for fun (especially a friend of mine who isn’t into fighting games)

They have 2 buttons for blocking so you can mash twice as hard when you want to do a KnJ (substitution).

lmfao ^^^

I enjoyed the demo.The controls are a bit shaky with camera and all but its better than Accel 3 and that’s good enough for me. Hopefully they’ll limit on how substitution can be used because it was ****ing annoying in Accel 3.

Just tried the demo, the graphics may look nicer but the game play is a lot worse than NBB.

No reactions about Tobi being in game ?

IS he in the game? I haven’t read him being in it in some sites @_@

why can’t they just change the camera angle to be like NA2? :sad:

why does this game have to suffer from shitty controls, when it really looks as amazing? :sad:

:sad:

I almost forgot why I brought that up, and yes you can, but it’s not the same for everyone.

I’ll give an example: If someone like Naruto charges his Rasengan fully, you can either dodge or get hit. It’s hard to dodge some of those fully charged dash attacks since you can’t block them. Once it hits, it goes into cinematic animation meaning you are guaranteed that damage. Also the damage remains the same whether you fully charge it or not.

Now there’s a few characters with combo type jutsus and it’s unbalanced because when they hit with their attacks, whether it’s blocked or not, the opponent can teleport out at anytime leaving the attacker exposed since they can’t cancel the animation like charge type jutsus can.

In short, the charge types can pretty much attempt fast unblockables repeatedly for minimal risk.

Hope that made sense. :sweat:

What combo jutsus are these? Examples? I’ve never seen someone teleport out of a combo jutsu once it hits.

Just fanservice/casual-minded. Fighting game players like ourselves need not apply.

Kimmimaro’s Larch dance
Orochimaru’s Blade dance
Naruto’s Demon wind bomb
Gai’s Konoha leaves tornado kick thing (Probably works on Rock Lee’s one as well.)

Basically any combotype or multiple hitting attack (Some projectiles included) that doesn’t have cinematic animation during hit can be teleported out of.
