Looks good so far.. I want to play a demo to feel the camera out.

WildArmed5526d ago

The camera view was really bad, it pissed me off. I picked up NG sigma day one, and had to return it shortly after.. same went for NG2..

morganfell5526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

Well according the publication 'We be Xbots', there was nothing wrong with the camera in NG2

BGDad5526d ago

Seriously I had no issues what so ever with the camera? It allowed you to pan wherever you wanted?

Sigma was awesome, have a 360 but never got the 2nd might consider it, if everything is upgraded.

Gue15526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

for me the camera is bad but only in parts were there are a lot of platforming sections but when battling, it's fine.

BTW the game already looks miles away better than the original version! But the outfit of Ayane is gross!

Let me tell you that Team Ninja doesn't know anything about girl fashion.

Sweet, another game in March. Time to flex my knuckles on Ninja Gaiden Sigma to get ready for the ultimate edition of Ninja Gaiden 2.

The gaming GOD5526d ago

they just made the announcement in March.

The game itself won't be out till autumn.

morganfell5526d ago

Whooops, misread that. Thanks for the clarification. That is actually a good thing as I am deep in KZ2 MP, Resistance Retribution, RE5, and RA3 releases in a few days.

Blaze9295526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

i thought this was gonna be graphically enhanced...looks the same to me.

I just hope they adjust the difficulty this time around, NG2 wasnt even hard, just frustratingly CHEAP. I guess thats a new difficulty in Japan, cheap mode where one rocket takes all half your health.

GVON5526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

not played it before,but is this one of those giant bosses that are supposed to be added.

StephanieBBB5526d ago

It looks silky smooth. Is it just me or does the PS3 add more depth to the visuals?

Might be motionblur or something :S

GUNS N SWORDS5526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

so far all these shot are bullet shots, and yes this is that very same ninja gaiden 2 engine that was used for 360's version, so it's a port.

and (GVON) that's just a falling statue.

rockleex5526d ago

She actually looks more realistic in this game, thus making her look even sexier. ^_^

IdleLeeSiuLung5526d ago

I'm looking forward to this game as well, but ultimate version will probably stay on the 360. The way Itagaki intended it.

nycredude5526d ago

Hmm that funny cause in reality I am sure a rocket would pretty much take all of your life, so half i think is a good compromise.

Cenobia5526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

@nycredude
If you're gonna play that game, in reality ninjas are assasins that use stealth, and also there were never any rockets back when ninjas existed.

Where are the real ninja games? I miss the stealth of Tenchu.

Ninja Gaiden has never appealed to me at all. It's good to see the PS3 owners that want it will get it now though.

Blaze9295526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

Oh yeah becuase in reality, Ninjas DO exist. Also videogames ARE reality. In reality, Ninjas existed in a age of high technology.

Microsoft Xbox 3605526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

You can tell Ryu is higher in polygons and in skin texture for the PS3.

sonarus5526d ago

Is this game running on NG2 engine or is it running on enhanced sigma engine? Cus i have heard both things and now i am confused

Richdad5525d ago

But its still very small or minor improvement than NG2 on 360 after a year. If the dev team had used the new texture streaming technology then they might have been able to improve the visuals dramatically.
I wonder why didnt they did so.

fullmetal1565526d ago

the pic with ryu and ayame dualnimpo looks awesome and than sword looks hot i only made it to like stage 11 on the other one dint have much time to play was that sword in there? anyway cant wait to play this.

DanteLinkX5526d ago

That sword wasn't in NG2, this one seems to be the a NEW upgraded level to the weapon, wich just adds a few moves and different looks. They might do that to all weapons in the game, can't wait.

no-spin5526d ago

did you notice the characters dont have the fake shiny look?
I feeling itchy for this game

StayHigh5526d ago

Yeah i see NG fans getting this game since most likely they will fix everything that was wrong in NG2 for the 360..A lot of great games this year for PS3 owners..Microsoft better announce something during E3..I dont want Sony to slack off i want them to keep bringing the games to us..I am looking forward to Team ICO game!

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds561d ago (Edited 561d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno561d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya561d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020561d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds561d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya561d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman561d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran561d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.

They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.

micdagoat191595d ago

been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.

Domestupidname1595d ago

I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.

Very nice, but playing on original console is better - unless, of course, the console's tech is way too old and incompatible with the current tech standards.
The emulators must always be developed, though. It is good as a way to preserve and play old games.

MoshA1877d ago

Maybe in 5 years peasants will have access to our nostalgic games lol.

Casepb1876d ago

Backwards compatible PS5 is their only hope.

boing11876d ago

Only hope? Only hope for what? Mainstream console gaming is crushing mainstream PC gaming for several years now. You are extremely out of tune with reality.

mkis0071876d ago (Edited 1876d ago )

Consoles are cheap, would think not being able to buy one would make one a peasant. Personally, I dont understand the mindset; why not own everything if you can?

On top of my gaming pc, having a ps4 and Switch is a must for me. ( also have an X but it has been relegated to uhd player/ red dead 2 machine)

What is an extra couple hundred bucks to someone who loves to play.

ShadowWolf7121876d ago

A gas bill.
A light/water bill.
A car payment.
About a week or two's worth of groceries.
An unexpected expense that they can now cover.

I can go on. That is one hella privileged mindset there, broski. lol

mkis0071876d ago

Shadow

Sorry I was referring to his use of the word peasant. Obviously meant to troll, but its fun to dissmantle the use of it.

PurpHerbison1876d ago (Edited 1876d ago )

It was a joke.

MoshA1875d ago

Because you can't enjoy the best games due to 30 fps. Thank God for that. If you care about fps more than graphics/combat/story/music then you don't deserve anything but LoL, Apex, WoW etc.

boing11876d ago

Care to give an example of such nostalgic game that console players would love to have? Because so far all I read about are poor attempts of launching 15 years old console games on PC with a playable framerate.

mkis0071876d ago (Edited 1876d ago )

Why would you want the ps3 version when the ps4 version will always be better than even an improved ps3 emulated one? Uncharted 1 was converted to Uncharted 2's engine on the drake collection. Runs at 60fps with uncharted 3 or better level graphics.
