Ninja Gaiden: Sigma for the PS3 confirmed

In the new Famitsu Tecmo has announced they are making Ninja Gaiden: Sigma for the PS3. They didn't mention a Xbox360 version.

[bernie]

The next full Ninja Gaiden 'Proper' is just for the Xbox360.

Sorry guys, still better a port than nothing at all!

:)

[Genki]

I can't read whatever language it's in, but is that what the article states? I'm not questioning your integrity or anything, I just wanna know where it came from. Whatever the case though, heard Gaiden was good, never actually played it myself.

[Bhai]

...the MS360-exclusive-franchise's next-gen title possibly exclusive on the PS3. HaHaHa, whether or not you folks get the DMC4 as well, but YEAH, Gaiden is coming this way, SUPERB !!!

[Bunnyslippers]

You could go to babelfish.altavista.com to translate the article. But the original source is of course the Japanese Famitsu. And does anybody have the latest Famitsu and can read Japanese?
With Ninja Gaiden: Sigma, Heavenly Sword, God of War 3, DMC4. The list gets better and better.

team ninja loves a system that`s got plenty power.looks like they interested finally on playstation

[TheMART]

Don't get excited guys I guess this is a Dutch guy who can't read Japanese actually.

Earlier on a Dutch website at the beginning of september this was stated (follow link)
http://www.ownage.nl/news/1...
They said themselves it would come to the 360 and stated also the following:

""There are a lot of fans of the Xbox that support us and are with us because of that, so I just want everyone to know that we are going to continue bringing out the newest releases on the Xbox platform before they're on other systems."

So it might be that it'll be on PS platform also, although I highly doubt it. If it is, it'll arrive first on 360 as they stated it themselves all the way.

This will indeed be a remake of Ninja Gaiden 1. The new one is on 360. Enjoy it guys it was a great game the years ago I played it

[Bunnyslippers]

Ps3 gets a remake (NG: Sigma) and Xbox360 gets Ninja Gaiden 2. So the sequal could still be on the PS3 eventually. I hope Ninja Gaiden for the PS3 will get a mayor upgrade. And will not an be a cheap port.

Yes I cannot read Japanese. The link was my only source but I stated that already.

[FeralPhoenix]

I already read this somewhere and it said that a remake of the older version of Ninja Gaiden would be coming to the PS3...so I believe this is the same Ninja Gaiden, with a few changes. Damm, Mart why do always have to add insult to injury, no wonder Sonyfanboys love you so much.

[THE TRUTH]

I do "think" it's a port but, I have some evidence that could sway some people opinions

1.) Itagaki, the creator of the series on 360 love his CGI, and with the limits of DVD9 could be swayed to put his franchise on PS3.
Don't believe me? here's a good link to read...

Itagaki sounds off on Xbox 360 limitations:

2.) Itagaki does have found feelings for the PS3 hardware that you can read yourself in the following link.

Tomonobu Itagaki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

3.)Here's another dated article but it definetly stirs the pot.

Ninja Gaiden and PS3 -- An Editorial
Tecmo announces five new games at Xbox 360 summit, but Ninja Gaiden 2 isn't one of them. Could this mean something more?
by Jeremy Dunham

4.) Ninja Gaiden didn't sell all that well on Xbox certainly not as good as it would have on PS3..........

5.) here is a translated list of upcoming games and you'll which side Ninja Gaiden is on

well the info is there for this debate and it will be interesting how this ends, either way it's a great game and I can't wait to play it on either console.......

[kikilala]

is really a good game.. but i just hope that they didnt make it too hard like the original.. ive played the original.. i like it.. but its is damn hard... i hope they would take the difficulty down a bit.. no matter which platform it will come out.. it is still a good game...

The Xboxfanboys like to cry PS3 is way too expensive, but in fact it's very cheap for the things it offers, much cheaper than the 360. Let's see what Xbox360 would cost if it would only offer just the not so future proof HD movie playback:

$399 Xbox360 premium + $199 HD-DVD addon = $598
Almoust the price of the future proof 60GB PS3. Xbox 360 sadly still lacks Wi-Fi, HDMI and offers only a 20GB HDD.
If you don't care about HDMI and think movie studios won't use HDCP it in the next few years, you can buy the 20GB PS3, which offers exactly the same what Xbox360 with HD movie playback offers, but for almoust $100 less.

$399 Xbox360 premium + $199 HD-DVD addon + $99 Wi-Fi = $697
Still no HDMI and no 60GB HDD, but costs almost $100 more, what a ripp off.

Xboxfanboys like to say Sony is forcing us to buy Blu-Ray and MS is giving them choice. I'm askin myself what choice? Choice to get ripped off? Choice to buy way too overpriced products?
$99 for Wi-Fi is a ripp off. In the PC market you get such an adapter for half the price.
$99 for a 20GB HDD is a ripp off. For the PS3 we can buy an usual 2.5inch HDD for half the price, but twice the size. MS just wanna milk their poor fanboys, that's why they made it impossible to use an internal 2.5 HDD. And please don't come up with that you can use external drives. Who wants to use external drives? Not only that it looks ugly, it also takes more room. That's another advantage of the PS3. It takes just less room and looks much better if you have everything in one device than having an external HDD and external HD-DVD connected.
Sony also isn't forcing people to buy Blu. If you wanna experience the typical Konami, Capcom and Sony games without any cuts, Blu is nescessary. Why should people give up on spectacular CGI, something that was already standard in the last gen? This would be a step back and next gen shouldn't make a step back in any area. The next gen isn't about making a step back, but about making a step forward. Many gamers love spectacular CGI's and the developers are very happy with Blu, so Blu is nescessary.
Another negative side of Xbox360 are the additional costs for recharging the controllers. While Xbox360 owners have to buy a Charge Kit, the PS3 owners can do it with a simple USB cable.
This shows that Sony thought about everything to make it as cheap as possible for their fanbase and this shows that MS thought about everything to milk their fanbase as much they only can.
MS just doesn't care about gamers and their fanbase. Also the very short(only 4 years) Xbox support demonstrates it perfectly. They stopped it right after the 360 was released and this was an awful move. With such a decision they showed how much they care about the Xboxfanbase. From the Xbox owners I know, only 1 bought the 360. The rest is very pissed and some of them don't wanna buy a MS console again. Truth is, many gamers don't buy the new console right at launch. They want to wait 1-2 years for a price drop or for some games that really interest them. But MS doesn't care what they want, all they care is how to milk people of their money.
What makes all these even badder, is that MS is the richest company in the world. They could very well still support Xbox, they could very well sell the Xbox360 accessories at a lower and more reasonable price and they could very well make even a console that offers more than the PS3 but is cheaper. As the richest company in the world, sure they could, but that's not what they want...

Please wait for Sony to tell you what will come with the PS3. Also no price release on the HD-DVD add-on. Sony will not gice you HD cables with the PS3 either. They may also require another adapter to use HDMI. Maybe we all should wait before we start adding up prices. The biggest difference is the M$ does not force you to buy a blu-ray movie player, and Sony does. What about little Tommy that could care less about movies. He will be buying a blu-ray player anyway. So if he has no HDTV it will not help him on the movie front. Most kids will be using a RF adapter anyway.

[Fuzz McDeath]

Of course its a value, the accountants can empirically prove it - the components in the PS3 cost way more than the price you pay for it (same goes for 360). However, it has been and always will be about choice. You can get in on 1080p gaming with 360 for $299. Of course, if you "add-on" additional features, it will cost more. The cheapest, ABSOLUTE CHEAPEST, you can get in on HD gaming with PS is for $499. 200 dollars more - do you get more for the 499 than the 299? If course you do. Does it cost more to put together a 360 with all the same features as the PS3 - sure it does, a little bit more - just like ordering food a la carte at a resteraunt. However, you have no choice with Sony - invest $499 or $599 now or don't get with PS3 at all. Well F that.

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

360 isn't cabable of 1080p and fact is no matter how you twist it, the 360 accessories are way overpriced. It's not about having a choice. 360 force people to have an out of date dvd drive, 360 force people to play games without spectacular CGI. They only give you choice to let them milk you. Nobody with any sense want to pay 2x the price of a Wi-Fi adapter, nobody with any sence want to pay 4x the price of a HDD. That doesn't sound like a good choice to me.

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

Here is everything with what the PS3 will come with :
http://www.us.playstation.c... If it will be downgraded of something meaningful like Wi-Fi, then the PS3 will become surely cheaper.
Sony ain't forcing anybody, little Tommy should better stay with this gen or buy a not really next gen 360. If he doesn't have a HDTV, Blu won't help him on the movie front, but surely on the game front. The next gen isn't about making a step backward, but about making a step forward. Many devs are using spectacular CGI since the PS1, so why shouldn't they be able to do it on the PS3? The Japanese devs are already turning sides as Tecmo releases the once Xbox exclusive(one of the best Xbox games) on the PS3.

I for one would rather be playing the game instead of sitting there watching GCI. I do not want the HD-DVD add on as i don't need it. Your view at the moment is void. Do i need blu-ray or HD-DVD shoved down my throat when i reall don't want it. Also, why is it a problem to put a game onto 2 discs and get off your fat ass every now and then to change the disc. What are you, lazy and fat or one on them.

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

Do I need dvd-drive shoved down my throat when i really don't want it?
Next gen isn't about multiple discs and standing up to change the disc doesn't anything have to do with beeing lazy or fat, but with comfort. The devs also don't like to use multiple discs.

Killzone had a great CG sequence at the beginning. Final Fantasy has some of the best CG cinemas in the industry. Seriously, it's just more bang for your buck, and it looks amazing. The only people I see complaining about CG are the 360 supporters for some reason; maybe because it reminds them of the DVD drive? Who knows.

The guy in charge of Team Ninja was actually pretty vocal about his distate with some of the system's drawbacks. "The infamous Team Ninja front man has a thing or two to say about Microsoft's decision to assign standard DVD format to the Xbox 360. Limiting his development team to a measly 9GB does not sit well with Itagaki, especially when Team Ninja is looking to include any number of (MS-coveted) HD cut scenes. It's ironic that Microsoft has been the most outspoken about the "HD era", but is the least prepared for it."

It's no surprise that he wants to try out something on the PS3, even if it is a remake of something he's already done. It's a safe strategy to see if that's the system that his team truly belongs on. If it is, great. If not, they didn't lose anything.

[achira]

nice game for the ps3 !!! i am sure they switched the platforms.

[FeralPhoenix]

When your names claims to enforce truthfulness and your statements like: "360 isn't cabable of 1080p and fact is no matter how you twist it" are totaly wrong, as many Sonyfanboys have been, then it shows you are either biased, uniformed, or UNTRUTHFUL....which means you don't have any creditability at all, but don't take my word for it, read an become informed, and then maybe even truthful.
http://xbox360.ign.com/arti...
BTW, all the Sonyfanboys should read this also....theres alot more info...coming out of TGS, if you guys would just stop being a fanboy, and be a "gamer" for 1 second you might not get embarrassed by putting your foot in your mouth.
