so NINJA GAIDEN Σ２ for the PS3 announced (Famitsu)

[king zell]

looks like Famitsu is out early this week , there is a scan for NINJA GAIDEN Σ２ for the PS3

a new Gundam game for the PS3 and Atelier Rocona preview

[pje122]

Cool!

[BeautifulMemory]

My dream comes true.

[Teknoman]

Better be a framerate fix in there.

[ymmv]

So much for the only on Xbox logo...

[AranhaHunter]

I'll wait until there's more concrete evidence, remember the "TOV PS3" scan?

[sangreal]

So much for the only on Xbox logo...

not this shit again...

[ChaoticBlue]

doesn't say anything about a sigma 2.

[Ploid 3.0]

So much for the only on Xbox logo... [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4f/Ninja_Gaiden_II.jp

etc.

People didn't seem to like NG2 much. I think people that wanted to play it had their fix.

[Teknoman]

I'll wait until there's more concrete evidence, remember the "TOV PS3" scan?

Thats true.

[burgerdog]

Loved everything about NG2 except for ONE thing, projectiles! Buy this game.

[Troidal]

Its early because Friday is a holiday here.

at the news though....I'm sure Itagaki disapproves.

[Strike]

Cool.

[ntb825]

The game hasn't even been out for a year yet. I'm sure if there is a time clause to the exclusivity, it's gotta be a year.

[fps fanatic]

Yes! Great news. Which reminds me, I gotta finish Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1.

[Bebpo]

With the right amount of fixing, NGII could go from a seriously flawed good game that's in the shadow of NG1 to a better game than NG1. But with Itagaki gone, I dunno if Team Ninja will put the effort it.

[AranhaHunter]

Its early because Friday is a holiday here. at the news though....I'm sure Itagaki disapproves.

What's the holiday there this Friday?

[ymmv]

The game hasn't even been out for a year yet. I'm sure if there is a time clause to the exclusivity, it's gotta be a year.

So the game will be released early June 2009 to comply with Microsoft's exclusivity contract. I think we'll hear from Tales of Vesperia for the PS3 in a couple of months too. I suspect Namco has delayed the European release of this game to the 2nd half of 2009 in order to release both the PS3 and 360 version at the same time.

[bdouble]

Sweet. One game I really would have missed by not getting a 360. Even with the problems. Look forward to see if they fix anything and will def get when I get around to purchasing a PS3.

[Himuro]

Fix out the kinks and it'll be better than NG1!

[Barakov]

I'm kinda surprised that the new Atelier is full 3D. Judging from the awful cam pic.

[Gomu Gomu]

To me, technical issues were the least of my problems with this game. So I don't think this will work for me.

[Troidal]

What's the holiday there this Friday?

Vernal Equinox Day. It's spring time!!! :-D

[klee123]

This better not be true.

[Firestorm]

The way Tecmo's gone with Ninja Gaiden, this might just be an upgraded version of Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

[Ramenman]

So much for the only on Xbox logo...

LIKE NINTENDO SEAL OF QUALITY AMIRITE HAR HAR HAR

[makingmusic476]

This just shows that the way of the third party exclusive (on HD consoles) is over. Even when Microsoft publishes the damn things they don't stay exclusive.

I wonder what'll be next.

[Reznor]

This better not be true.

And... why?

[klee123]

And... why?

I want something different :P

Like a new fatal frame or something.

[MikeE21286]

The only thing holding up the hope for 3rd party exclusives is MGS4 if this one goes........
....
....
wait for it....

[shagg_187]

I might double-dip and buy the first NG for PS3 if this turns out to be fanfuckingtastic rendition of NG2.

[Aeana]

This better not be true.

It's true. The scan's out there, and so is the table of contents.

[Reznor]

I want something different :P Like a new fatal frame or something.

I'd love a new Fatal Frame. I hope they get around to making a new one some day.

[Danielsan]

Would be hilarious. I might double dip. Ninja Gaiden 2 is great but it's riddled with bugs and poor design choices. If they fix some of those issues it would definitely warrant a second buy from me.

[makingmusic476]

I'm sure MGS4: Supersubsistence or whatever they'll call it will be multiplat.

And I expect Mass Effect to go the way of Bioshock.

[Dave1988]

Now where's that GreenShinobi post when you need it?

[WickedLaharl]

i'd be really tempted to buy this if they manage to fix the framerate and nail 720p but i promised myself that wouldn't buy tecmo games anymore

[ymmv]

I'm sure MGS4: Supersubsistence or whatever they'll call it will be multiplat.

I bet Microsoft's big E3 announcement will be MGS4: Existence for the 360 (and PS3 of course). Same thing happened with MGS2. PS2 got the original, but the MGS2: Substance reissue was released for PS2, Xbox and PC. The interesting thing was that Substance was an Xbox exclusive in the US. The PS2 version was released four months later.

[The AnswerV]

Done! I wanna Native 720P for NG2 Sigma, Hayashi!

[iconoclast]

Nice. Hopefully Hayashi (or whoever is in charge) doesn't fuck up.

[Hesemonni]

Win!

[Guymelef]

Sekai ha Atashi de Mawatteru (My World, My Way) for PSP.

[jiggle]

too bad
would rather have XBV2

can't wait to see Rorona
creamsugar didnt' update his site yet ; ;

[Aeana]

Evidences [scans] will delete this soon. I forgot about Famitsu things.

Derp derp derp.

[gantz85]

I'm sure MGS4: Supersubsistence or whatever they'll call it will be multiplat.

Honestly, MGS4:XXX going multiplatform is the best solution for all parties.


(1) The title had a huge budget and a reissue would help add to those sales -- a multiplatform reissue would be even better. If Konami has managed to get Microsoft to commit to marketing dollars that would be best, because Microsoft >>> Sony in marketing.

(2) MGS4 the title itself has a couple of glaring flaws that need fixing, like the ginormous amount of load scenes and lack of polish in some aspects of the game. I would appreciate fixes. Also a director's cut including Kojima's original ending would be naice.

(3) MGO can go to a wider userbase on the 360, but it's inevitably doomed to a slow death if Konami force that Konami-ID shit on their users.


I would be more than happy to have a MGS4:XXX multiplat announced this year.

Good PS3 news:
-question it's validity
-downplay
-go off topic

[Taurus]

Loved everything about NG2 except for ONE thing, projectiles! Buy this game.

At least the demo sucked ass. I'll prefer buying some good games for my XO. :|

Am I doing it right?

[·feist·]

Seems legit and, unless I'm mistaken, it looks as though Ayane will be playable.

[BeeDog]

i'd be really tempted to buy this if they manage to fix the framerate and nail 720p but i promised myself that wouldn't buy tecmo games anymore

Fix the framerate of a PS3 port release?


All the evidence thus far is that it will probably turn out to be worse. :(
