Speaking to GameInformer , Yosuke Hayashi, the director of Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden Sigma, claims that he was able to make his batch of PlayStation 3 devkits "smoke."
He explains:
"We've made a couple of devkits smoke, but we haven't had any actually blow up yet.[laughs] As far as using the hardware to its fullest... initially we didn't think that we were going to be able to do as much as we have been able to, which is something good about the PS3, because we weren't necessarily limited to what it says on paper.
As an example,we had originally planned to only include self-shadowing during the cutscenes, but once we actually started coding, we found that we were able to have cutscenes in real time, fully implemented throughout the entire game and while you're in the middle of the action."
He also had a lot to say to people who were complaining about the Sony PS3 being too hard to develop for:
"I think all those developers who are saying, "We don't want to do a PS3 game," or "It's really difficult to do it," should shut up and make their games. If you have time to complain about it, then you should be spending your time working on getting the most from the hardware."
In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
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.
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.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.
It’s a big month for the PlayStation Now Subscription, with new games and new devices to play on.
Is PS Now fairly consistent with a good internet connection? Do the games offer trophy support?
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.
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?
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?
A Change.org petition to bring all three titles in the new Ninja Gaiden trilogy to Steam is gaining traction.
I like how he thinks. He takes his game, and actually uses his resources to truly make a great re-vamped next-gen game. He lets the game speak for itself. I believe he once said that releasing a game with such a small user base would be risky only if you didn't have confidence in your game. I think all of their hard work will pay off in the end because PS3 gamers won't see it as a port, but as a dedicated remake for those who may not have enjoyed it before, but now we get 60fps, self-shadowin.
360 fans should be glad to have them workin on NG2, they will make it shine.
i couldn't agree with him more.
Are reasons why NG2 is definetly going Multi-Platform. It just makes sense. They see how much raw power they can get out of the PS3 without nearing any limitations. They are going to want NG2 to outshine Sigma. They will have to do it on the PS3.
is gonna turn out..........
If Ninja Gaiden turns out to be everything that was said and shows everything that was said the PS3 can do. All the negative news of the systems limitations would be erased. This will apply to half-assed ports be Ubisoft or EA and they will be called on it.
Thoughts?
Now, I'm not flaming here, but NG for Xbox STILL looks hot, and better than some games on PS3,Wii,360.
I can't wait to get my grubby hands on this little gem!
