Preview Ninja Gaiden Sigma: "Most Impressive Technical Performance"

It takes a Ninja to unleash the real power behind the PS3. First full preview by Gamepro.

"Those skeptical that Team Ninja will deliver only a glossed-over version of Ninja Gaiden Black on the PlayStation 3 will literally drop jaw when they feast their eyes and hands on Ninja Gaiden Sigma, the most impressive technical performance we've yet seen on the PS3. Running in 1080p and 60 frames per second with real-time self shading, Sigma is shaping up to be a feat for the PS3, but it's the patented Gaiden gameplay that brings everything together in another impressive Ninja experience."

If you ask me, it seems as if the developers don't have any problems developing on the Ps3.

techie6233d ago

A Ninja Theory (maybe you have to be a ninja to do it) dev said he found it quite relaxing :)

schnodder6233d ago

i love my ps3 - - best system out there.

fenderputty6233d ago

We get crappy ports from the Xbox. They don't look as good as the Xbox versions. People say the PS3 sucks. It can't do what the Xbox can. Reality is that the games are dev'ed for the Xbox and then ported as easily as possible to make money.

Then these guys come and pull off something that hasn't been done on a console yet. That includes the 360. They make all these crybaby devs sound like sub-par highschool programers. Of course, the Xbots scream "sloppy seconds," when in reality this is almost a complete new game.

TheMART6233d ago

Hahahah

Way too funny dude!

You´re saying that 360 fans say the PS3 can´t do what the XBOX 1 can do?

Oh yeah ofcourse, I think the PS3 has the same specifications as a 733 Mhz Celeron CPU, a Geforce 3 GPU and 64 MB Ram. Right?!

Dude, ofcourse they´re able to polish things up just nice on the PS3. I may freakin´ hope so!

Ninja Gaiden 2 will be first on 360 though. Looking better then this. And maybe you´ll get it after 2 or 3 years on the PS3. Enjoy this one in the mean time, it´s real good gameplay you know.

fenderputty6233d ago

I mean 360. I thought you would have been smart enough to figure that out.

1080p/60fps/self shading is better then making and old game look nice. Quit trying to downplay this.

theagony6233d ago (Edited 6233d ago )

you are dumb like a bird, you can not think and read at the same time either, but one thing you do best is reading every ps3 related article on this site(just reading not thinking though) don't worry when sony takes down the prices you will have a PS3 too.

JIN KAZAMA6233d ago

more that ANYBODY!!!!!!!!!!
THE BEST SYSTEM. Worth EVERY SINGLE CENT. great JOB SONY.

socomnick6233d ago

hmm shouldn't the ps3 handle a enhance xbox port well ? of course it should .

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.

micdagoat191588d 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.

Domestupidname1588d ago

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

NeonEnigma3310d ago

Is PS Now fairly consistent with a good internet connection? Do the games offer trophy support?

SamPao3310d ago (Edited 3310d ago )

yes and yes. Go read on forums, you only hear good things once your connection is good enough. (and you don't need a very fast one)
Trophy support is there.

did you even watch the vid?
on 20 seconds they tell you about trophy support :P

JoGam3310d ago (Edited 3310d ago )

They need to bring Socom II

NeonEnigma3310d ago

No, i was mainly concerned with hearing a users opinion of the service so i just commented. But I will be giving this a try tonight

morganfell3310d ago

Yes it works and works very well. Trophy Support is there as well as cloud saves for any game progression.

bouzebbal3310d ago

Doesn anyone know if PS Now supports 3D gaming?
U3 and Stardust were good in 3D.

morganfell3309d ago (Edited 3309d ago )

@abzdiine,

As of January, no 3D support. Now is not set up to properly detect your 3D display and manual choice is off since 3D requires a massive amount of bandwidth. Frame packing doesn't work well of bandwidth that currently supports smooth play in standard mode.

I would think it could be done without a hit but they would have to substantially increase the intial cache size during the game launch on the resident system (PS4, PS3, Vita, PS TV, or Sony TV) that is running Now.

S2Killinit3310d ago

yeah. I have never tried it with a fighting game yet. But the games I've tried worked just fine. Never tried multiplayer either though. I didn't eve know you could also play multiplayer games on PS NOW.

Scatpants3310d ago

It works great on my vita. My internet connection is fairly good, but not the best.

Bobby Kotex3310d ago

When I beta tested it, I had a crappy DSL connection and it worked flawlessly.

Skate-AK3310d ago

I have 18mb/s download and it worked pretty well for me. The game I played was a simple hunting one though.

NeonEnigma3310d ago

Thanks everybody for feedback, i was pretty intent on believing that streaming a game to my ps4 would work like crap, but after streaming shadow of the colossus to my ps4 im actually pretty excited about it. Its definately going to help me knock out some of my backlog!

Jedislayer3310d ago (Edited 3310d ago )

I love ps now, think about 100 + ps3 games streamed right away to your tv. Don't have to wait for gamefly, don't need to get up and go to the store. Instantly streamed to you from an internet connection. Think about it. gamefly two disc plan runs you 22.00 a month for two disc and sometimes you have to wait. 2-4 days for a game. $44.00 for 3 months gets you unlimited access to ps3 games and soon ps2 and ps1. If you are an mmo player you pay 15.00 a month just to play that one game. i think the value is perfect. Even when psn goes down. Think about mmo's when they go down or go down for maintenance you still pay 15.00 a month for that one game. Not trying to fanboy here but ps now will be a good investment. Think about it you don't have to hook up your old console just to play a game.

freshslicepizza3310d ago

it will be a good investment (for me) once they have ps4 games.

andresegr3310d ago

Playstation Now won't include Playstation 4 titles while the Ps4 remains on the market, it doesn't make any sense.

Death3310d ago

Sony has already said they will release PS4 games for the PS4 on the service.

freshslicepizza3310d ago

@andresegr,
"Playstation Now won't include Playstation 4 titles while the Ps4 remains on the market, it doesn't make any sense."

why not? sony already mentioned this along with ps1 and ps2 games.

http://www.gamespot.com/art...

rental outlets are becoming harder and harder to find. they may not see much value adding it to the pay by the month plan since they have the plus service and it's monthly free give-aways but it could be a great option to rent games.

_-EDMIX-_3310d ago (Edited 3310d ago )

"Playstation Now won't include Playstation 4 titles while the Ps4 remains on the market, it doesn't make any sense"

Not sure what you mean. PS now has PS3 titles on PS3...

Not sure why you wouldn't have PS4 titles on PS4. I say this based on with PS4 you have buttons, features etc that make more sense to only be streamed from another PS4.

I very much see them streaming PS4 games in the future as I see no reason not to.

I'm not trolling either, but what would make you think the couldn't or wouldn't?

WelkinCole3310d ago

As a core gamer. Would you consider it going forward even though you might already own a PS1,PS2 and PS3?.

I am actually surprised that its getting good reviews from core gamers.

xer03309d ago

I'm looking forward to playing, Siren: Bloodcurse again! :)

Deadlead3310d ago (Edited 3310d ago )

I tried PS Now for a month and am now really intrigued by the games on demand model, the convenience of such a massive catalogue at your fingertips is awesome. But I have ps3 so the value just isn't there at the moment. Also I couldn't help but wonder why there aren't more Sony exclusives featured on Now?

SoapShoes3310d ago

Yeah every Sony published game should be there! It is great on PS Vita!

StormLegend3310d ago

I love PS now, it just needs more AAA games.

WickedLester3310d ago (Edited 3310d ago )

Agreed. That and games from previous generations besides PS3. Where are all the PS1/PS2 classics?

Death3310d ago

Initial focus is on the PS3 with PS/PS2/PS4 games to be added later.

KryptoniteTail3310d ago

The best games to play on PSNow would be RPGs, Card Games, Board Games, pretty much anything turn-based or non-reflex related. On the opposite side, Fighting games, for example, are absolute trash on PSNow because if you're even half serious about them you don't want any interference, period. Normal online tends to be bad enough as it is for serious players.

I would also stay from anything like 1001 Spikes or Shmups.

Also, when is the price going to drop to a reasonable $10 per month/$100 per year?

Simco8763310d ago

Yeah $44 for 3 months is kind of trash.

Joe9133309d ago

You can tell by your comment you either never really tried PSnow or your internet sucks.
