EDIT:one more game for the 360 in 2008.SP:convection/HalowWars/ Too Human /GTa:exculsive downloadable content/UT3/HAZE/NG2/Alan Wake/ Banjo-Kazooie 3/peter jackson project

solidt126094d ago

There is no way this game is not coming to the PS3. The first one is selling well on the PS3 and this is a Japanese company. If it didn't come out on the PS3 that would be like releasing Halo 3 only in Japan on the PS3.

Leg-End6094d ago

youre comment is not only disturbing, but it also confirms my suspicions: 1) you obviously have sexual intercourse with ur 360 2)you are two years old

Daytona6094d ago

It's not coming to the ps3. You ask, "how could it not?", easily. Who wants to continue to waste money and develop for a console w/less that 4 million units out.

rogimusprime6094d ago

Did you forget all the time they just spent making (not porting) Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the "Lame system with only 4 million units sold" ? Get your head out of your @$$. Trying to start flame wars because youre too broke to afford two systems. If you're that poor you shouldn't be playing video games to begin with.

N4Gworks4Sony6094d ago

You morons I am entirely a 360 supporter but who give a rat's sh!t shooter if they make it for the ps3 as well.

I'm really hoping this shows up on the PS3, even if I have to wait a few months! Can't wait to play Ninja Gaiden on my DS, either!

Ri0tSquad6094d ago

500,000 with sigma in a couple of months! They wont pass that up with putting ninja gaiden 2 on ps3 and 360 and there some what familiar with the playstation 3.

tehcellownu6094d ago

Everybody know that its confirmed for the 360..its no surprise..but i hope the dude that bring ninja gaiden sigma to the ps3 will also convince itagki to port it over..

Team Ninja did say they are bringing more future games to the ps3..and will use HOME..

tplarkin76094d ago

Itagaki has backed the Xbox and 360. He also said that NG2 is for 360. He never spoke of a PS3 version. But I don't think MS paid for exclusivity, so it could come to PS3 later.

alexander22rednaxela6094d ago (Edited 6094d ago )

It is only on 360 because it`s going to take advantage of 360`s easier programming and 512 ram GPU, Making it multiplatform would require at least 5 million$ in production cost from sonys bank account.

Ri0tSquad6093d ago

Lets make it a XBox 360 exclusive. Yup that makes perfect sense. Anyways I wont be surprised if it comes on the PS3 only means more money in there pocket unless M$ pays for timed exclusivity. Either way it doesn't matter the ps3 has 512 RAM to and M$ ram is slower and all sony has to do is give us one of those magical firmware updates that lowers how much ram the OS takes up then what will stop it from coming to our system then?

JsonHenry6094d ago

It might end up on the PS4 as a port! LOL!

Ri0tSquad6094d ago

Ps2 couldn't handle it. So it could come to the ps3 besides why the hell would he port it to the ps4 8-10 years later? Seems kinda stupid to me unless your joking.

radzy6094d ago (Edited 6094d ago )

i think ps3 owners should get it,unless m$ buys out ninja gaiden franshise.
one of the best ninja games.If not , the best

gta_cb6094d ago

they didnt say the PS4 was comming out in 8-10 years, they said they want the PS3 to last about 8-10 years, doesnt mean the PS4 cant be released before the PS3 isnt in production anymore, just like the PS2's are still being made. they (game websites) expect a PS4 to be released around the same time as the next Xbox, about 2011-2012

Bloodmask6094d ago

It is made by Itigaki. He is solely an XBOX 360 developer and has stated this many times.

The only reason why Ninja Gaiden was made for PS3 was bc it was many years later and lead by a different team by Hayashi. Team Ninja does not do ports of any of their games.

xfrgtr6094d ago

This different team will make another ninja gaiden for ps3

TriggerHappy6094d ago (Edited 6094d ago )

According to the insider, the game will be shown on the 360 first and might even launch on the 360 first because of the relationship btn the developers and the Msft. However, the game has not been announced for the PS3 "AT THE MOMENT". The PS3 version might not be revealed at TGS but an announcement will be sure to follow. you never say never.

barom6094d ago

Uhm... From what I see NGS was developed by Team Ninja. Itagaki just didn't lead the team. Get your facts straight man

tehcellownu6094d ago

if Hayashi decided to want to bring it to the PS3 most likely it will happen..They already ported ninja gaiden they mind as well bring part 2 to the ps3..also ninja gaiden sigma sold 500k which is really good..

solidt126094d ago

Dude Itigaki has handed the torch over to Hayashi's team. If you had the Ninja Gaiden Sigma extra disc you would know that. Itigaki is just there to oversee the projects and does not develop the games. I have a hard time believing that a Japanese dude is only interesting in developing for a american console that doesn't sell in his country.

crazyman6094d ago

Actually in an interview a while ago, he said that he got Hayashi to do sigma as a way to test his skills because he wants to expand his team but wont do that unless he has another leader with him because otherwise he feels that having more programmers is useless if there aren't more people in charge.

DarkOcelet2987d ago

I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.

Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.

I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.

Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme

One of my proudest trophies :)

skcej2987d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku772987d ago (Edited 2987d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19842987d ago

I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13291d ago (Edited 3291d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773291d ago (Edited 3291d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3291d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3291d ago (Edited 3291d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113291d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

rawrock3291d ago

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

3291d ago
freshslicepizza3291d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3291d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773291d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3291d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3291d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3291d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3291d ago

Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.

I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
