Maybe because they don't want to spend $600 for one game? Perhaps the other PS3 games don't appeal to them. I was going to get a PS3 once the price drops, but NGS looks more than just a port to pass on, me being a big fan of the first game. Frick Tecmo for doing this.

well...i can understand where u r coming from....since i used to be the loyal nintendo fan who gave up and finally bought a PSX for Final Fantasy....but I guess a positive side to this will be a very nice graphical update?? given the power of the Ps3.....

I must say though, I bought Ninja Gaiden black a while back...and yes...that Game is the S**T!!I wouldn't mind revisiting it in Next Gen glory.

haha some of those xbots look like they are about to commit suicide...why dont they just buy another console...? and be a winner in all aspects...? i swear i dont get this console loyalty thing...its not like once you choose a side you can never go back.. ? I thought it was all about the games?

first of all, one who has a 360 can always get a ps3. maybe one has even decided it way before today.
so I think your comments have more reflection of you, since you are the one that "hasnt bought another console to be a winner in all aspects".



now, second, and more important, is Itagaki working on the ps3 version? this is a detail that will make a great game the best, or the best a great one.

anybody can confirm the dev team?

I cant imagine if ever Kojima announces MGS4 on 360 in the same time as the PS3 version. :lol :lol :lol :lol

Seriously, just only thinking about this makes me laughing out loud right now!

well I mean its one thing when its coming out for BOTH consoles.....it would actually be a riot if it were to be on 360 EXCLUSIvELY!!


**oh yeah and my "v" button doesnt work...so i have to copy and paste it every time.....which is why it isn't consistent sometimes with the Caps..sorry

I didn't buy the Xbox 360 for shooters. I can care less about Halo 3 as well. Like I said, $600 is steep for me, and I was going to get a PS3 once the price drops. I never said I wasn't ever going to get one. ;)

It is team Ninja Producer Yasuo Egawa (was responsible with DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball for “CG Effects”), Director is apparent Mr. Hayashi - both work in the team Ninja. Level of development:

Hay guys, let's argue semantics some more. Let's get back to whether this is a remake or a port!

If all assets, cutscenes and fighting engine are re-done I think it's a remake, much like MGS:TTS or REmake, as both of those were re-done from one generation consoles to the next.

From what some other person said on the board, it's two directors that are handling the port who also worked under Team Ninja for Ninja Gaiden. Don't quote me on this though.

This is just my personal opinion and does not need to be quoted but.... Itagaki is highly "overrated". :)

thanks nvidia.
that looks like a solid team.
I think this is the best news for PS3 in a long time.




p.s. Itagaki is not overated. he makes great games. he made the best action game last gen.
those of you guys who didnt have a box last gen, you are in for a super-treat. 8)

IGN said:
September 20, 2006 - Remember all those rumours of a Ninja Gaiden sequel coming to the PlayStation 3? They've at last been proven correct... partially.

The Ninja Gaiden series will be coming to the PS3 in the form of Ninja Gaiden Sigma, the latest issue of Famitsu reveals. Developed by Team Ninja, Sigma isn't a sequel, but a "complete version" of the Xbox Team Ninja title.

Team Ninja is improving upon the Xbox version in all areas. The visuals, including characters, stages and effects, are being upgraded. Event scenes are being redone, and new scenes are being added. All cinema scenes in the PS3 version will be real time, Famitsu specifies.

On the gameplay side of things, players can look forward to new moves, actions and weapons for Hayabusa. Racheal, one of the series' heroines, will be playable, and when using her, you'll get to experience the storyline from her perspective.

Development on Ninja Gaiden Sigma is currently at just 25%. A Japanese release date has yet to be announced.

Sounds like a remake to me....

Judging from the scans, it looks like an enhanced port.

Click to expand...

port - using existing art assets. stays essentially the same as the original product.

remake - re-making most of the art assets. possibly changes story/events a little bit. just like a movie remake.

Pretty much, but we can only judge from those scans. I hope there will be some footage from TGS.

Itagaki said that he'd be faithful to Microsoft fans. Watch, he'll release Ninja Gaiden Sigma exclusively on the PlayStation 3, and Ninja Gaiden 2 exclusively on the Xbox 360. That would be a swift kick in the ass for both parties, because if they wanted both games, they would have to buy both consoles, anyway.

That's interesting news. I've put over 100 hours into Ninja Gaiden Black, so I wouldn't be interested.

However, if they're upgrading the graphics, that'll be one cool package.

When the assets are actually redone and not just enhanced. Example:

Remake:

I think it's pretty clear what's a remake and what a port.

It looks like the same (or a slight variation) of the same model, just with different lighting and fire around it.

I'm pretty sure that's just a new boss. Dynamo shoots electricity; he doesn't use anything flame/explosion-oriented.

Surely this is confirmation that NG2 will eventually appear on PS3. To suggest otherwise would be a bit silly.

And seeing the history of Ninja Gaiden games -- no, Team Ninja games being released on Microsoft's console(s), it would be silly to suggest that this won't be on the Xbox 360.

Still, it has the same quality, port quality, not remake quality.

I know that, but I'm just saying I can't see how anything can be deduced from that blown up 100x100 pixel photo. It could use per-pixel lighting, have completely different particle effects engine, use different model, and just look completely different. This is after all being done on a next gen platform compared to the original NG, and they seem to be going out of their way to change things (redoing all cinematics gets a big WTF from me).

Yeah, that's definitely not a boss in Ninja Gaiden Black.

Of course, if they managed something like the over-the-top CG in Ninja Gaiden, even Metal Gear Solid 4 would be lacking by comparison.

I'm sure NG2 will be on 360 but I'm also sure it will eventually turn up on PS3. If only Bungie were third party. :)

If Bungie were third party would you stop making crapass posts like this one? Seems like that's all you ever do.

I'm sure a good bit of it already is. Of course, Ninja Gaiden Black already lets you fight every boss/enemy in the game in tons of scenarios.

They really need to pack some new content in, because otherwise I think they've already covered as much ground with the game as they could.

Of course, if you've never played Ninja Gaiden or Ninja Gaiden Black, this will be a real treat for you.

You guys were arguing over whether this was a port or a remake? Jeez...

It's obviously a port... come on... it's Ninja Gaiden Black +

Is GT:HD a remake too? Because they are basically the same thing...

No, because it's reusing the exact same assets (even textures) from GT4, so it's not the same.

GTHD: Premium on the other hand should not be anything resembling a port.
