I read on ign that M$ picked up tenchu senran to publish here in the states. this could be potentialy really good news..or just good news. the fact that ms is publishing this game just goes to show you that this once hidden little sleeper gem is making waves. the question is, is ms just simply doing a barebone publish or is mis interested in fixing the broken game and polishing it up.
I played thogh the Tenchu senran demo several times and I can honetly say it's Broken! I hate to see tenchu in this state. it shatters all my dreams of what I thought a next gen tenchu would be like. why dose it have the worst collision detection and animations out of all the tenchu games. the characters look bland, the gameplay feels awkward, and the textures look bad and there is no lip syncing!! WTF. but acually the level design looks pretty good. it has nice draw distance too. that's about all it has going for it.
now if microsoft game studio's get involed I would expect the game to shape up. if ms persuades fromsoft into beefing up the poly count, fixing the animations, collision detect, AI and textures and basicly jazzing it up to 360- standards, we could see a decent Tenchu title in the u.s.
this game needs Love.
