Ayane, Your Face Looks A Little Different

kotaku Writes:
Dead or Alive character Ayane makes an appearance in Ninja Gaiden II S just like she did in Ninja Gaiden II. Though, she's changed slightly.

On the left is how Ayane appears in NGII S and on the right is how she appears in NGII. As it's been pointed out back when she was revealed for S, gone is some of the cutesy baby fat for thinner, more grown-up features. All of this is, of course, makes total and complete sense!

looks beautiful in sigma 2.

OGharryjoysticks5402d ago

that's a big difference between the 2.

raztad5402d ago

Makes a lot of sense. They know PS3 audience is mostly mature.

SuicidalTendencies5402d ago

I like the look but I disagree with it. Ayane is supposed to be 17 or 18 years old. In that picture she looks like she's in her late 20's.

SuicidalTendencies5402d ago

Two disagrees and not one reply. Honestly, what is the point of having this feature on this site? I've been on this site a long time and I still don't understand it.

truehunter5402d ago

I guess u havent notice part of real life as well. I'v knoen females age 25 that looks like age 16-18. I know female thats age 16-18 an looks mature age of 25-ish.

Even my niece at the age 9 an she looks 6-7 years old.

SuicidalTendencies5402d ago

It's a game not real life. Making the character look her age helps develop her background. Not to mention she looks her age in all the other games she's appeared in and now she looks older? Come on!

Sigma 2's version looks WAY better!

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie21h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 9h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 7h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 7h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno16h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
