Really looking forward to this one.. Nice to see that it isn't just a port.. And it comes with new characters, challenges and other things.. Cool.. I'll buy it!

"Sloppy ports are one end of the spectrum
the other is the Sigma treatment. All upgrades should be called sigma's"

NGS2 runs a different engine and that's actually very sad to hear for ps3.

you tell me how many developers are willing to double their budgets to tailor fit engines for multiple consoles when ever they decide to make a project. the objective to multiplatform development ISN'T to get the game done with years spacing from each console.

if that's what it takes to make a decent multiplat game then that's actually not good, what if this game was alan wake that we're talking about here, add 1 more year to it's development life then that's 6 years in development.........almost a whole console's lifespan just to play 1 game.

Noticable differences:

+ better textures and colour in Sigma
+ improved orbs design
- reduced amount of blood and gore, replaced with purple stuff

Also better camera but you can't tell in this video. Download the HD version to see the differences

The video is sub-HD so it is hard to spot, but I noticed this:

- the table in the cutscene, the textures are sharper and not blurry on the PS3 version
- the character seems to have better lighting in the 360 version
- the character seems to have more detailed textures on the PS3 version

Anyone notice anything else concrete?

I noticed that the hard wooden floors on the ps3 do not shine, on the 360 they do, hardwood is polished and shiny when turned into japanese hardwooden floors.

Also the light coming trough the rice paper doors on the ps3 are too bright, they are rice paper, not glass windows!!!!

And third, the blossom is white on the ps3 version, and blossom is supposed to be pinkish, seems the ps3 got a hard time with color, lighting and reflection.

I'll admit, the PS3 version does look a little better to me. That's great news for PS3 owners. 360 owners be happy that you got to play it earlier.

Both consoles have their pluses and minuses and they are both great consoles to own. I am happy to own both and I am getting tired of all the fighting. We seriously need to stop bickering so much and just enjoy the games. Isn't that what being a gamer is about?

"@MGSR THE HD VERSION
ummm what"

what i'm trying to say (in reference to what "The Wood" said) i think it would be better for developers to just stick with improving their dev kits than make sperate engines for multiplatform development.

a good example would be Rockstar and their next "GTA" game, what would be better for any of you guys to hear,

Rockstar making an announcement that they need to holed back a version a whole year so that they could make the game the same on both consoles or, them saying that they're making improvements on the engines for multiplatform development.

morganfell - 133 days 13 hours ago

The video is small and that makes comparison less easy. That said the difference is still obvious. The detail in Sigma rears it's head. Some people can fool themselves with ridiculous statements like, "They look the same" but that doesn't alter the obvious truth.

Just be aware this is far from the last comparison video you are going to see and things are only going to get worse for individuals that believe that NG2 is in the same graphical league as Sigma 2.

Whether it is Ryu or the storefront during the battle, the difference is plain to see. Even the threads in the jacket as well as the creases in Ryu's face scarf are visible in the PS3 version. Small details like eyes in Ryu's close up to the fight in the narrow walkway. Sigma 2 looks like a next gen title and whereas NG2 looks like it was captured with a cam.

Watch it in HD. Not even close:

ryuzu - 133 days 13 hours ago

This is as close as we'll get to directly comparing a platform exclusive game on two different platforms!

Unlike the normal multi-plat port (minimal work/make it look the same on all plats) this game had heart and soul poured into the 360 version by Itagaki, and then made again for the PS3 by those left behind when he left/was fired.

Perhaps for the first and maybe only time, we can directly compare what each console is capable of when games are developed exclusively.

Yes the ps3 version is sharper. To back this up in the beginning where the camera focuses on his eyes. One is dull (360) One has light reflecting off it (ps3). YES it is that obvious. Comparing them is wrong because it is a new engine and a year late. So just no one get to hurt when they see someone saying that the ps3 version is better lookin.

I think SE benefited from having the PS3 as the primary platform for FFXIII. I mean (and Sony has been saying this for eons), if you make the engine/game keeping PS3 arch in mind, to port it over to 360 is a easy step. The inverse is not true. Sure this engine will be use in future projects. Quantum could be one of them.

This is a lame comparison because the game engine NG2 use for the X360 is as old as DOA3 on the Xbox (which was a launch title) with some slight modification to it. While on the other hand the ps3 gets a brand new game engine for NG2 sigma and this is the best they could do? ...LMAO... NG2 sigma should wipe the floor up with NG2 but sadly it doesn't.

Anyway whats up with that purple stuff??????

TheBlackSmoke - 132 days 23 hours ago

The Camera fix is to do with how well it follows the action and centres on ryu giving the player the best possible angle. The problem with Ng2 is it lacked those abilitys so you had to fight with the camera the whole time to avoid getting raped offscreen constantly. Your not going to notice the difference by watching a video its something you can only tell by playing it.

The framerate is being fixed as Hayashi (ya know..the guy whos making the game) has stated out of his own mouth. Team ninja are aiming to lock it down to 30 fps and this will partly be achieved by not randomly stacking enemies together to create a slideshow clusterf#@k.

"the second thing there is no blood?? what the hell, that what was NG2 all about blood..... "

Err... you need to see an optician, there is blood in the game (that red stuff on the ground is called blood) however theres no blood squirting from enemies. If you think blood is what ninja gaiden is about then ng2 was obviously your first game, that or your 12 years old. No other Ng game had the excessive gore and yet ninja gaiden/ black/sigma is easily better than 2.

@a cold soul

You have to understand Sigma 2 is still based on Ng2s assets (character models, environment models, textures) but optimized to take advantage of the PS3, Its not gonna look night and day from ng2 but it will still be a more higher resolution crisper game. Maybe wait until DOA5 or Ng3 come out to see the huge difference when they actually create new assets for the sigma engine.

I am more concerned about the "lack" of blood in the Ps3 version :( I kinda like to see blood squishing everywhere when I cut a guy in half, it reminds me of God of War :D

So your in this high untouchable elitist cloud in the sky that gives you the right to state a completely ARGUABLE OPINION, and have the "cojones" to say that if we don't agree with you, we don't belong here.

I played through NG2 and didnt have a problem with the camera, I allso didnt think it was cheap (even with the rocket spam on mentor). I didnt play it on Master but thats where the people started complaining about the games "cheapness."

So 30 FPS is all they could do. I personaly thought this game should be running at 60 I mean realistically it isnt a complicated game there are maybe 20 enemies on screen at once at the most, and thats not even in every area. The stages are usually unpopulated and there arent that many objects you can interact with.

For the record he said the blood in NG2 was the main thing. He is wrong but every one was toting the dismemberment as a major feature. I would rather have them kept the extra blood instead of the purple glow. If you only own a PS3 I would say buy it, but since I allready have it, I wont get this again at full price.

WTF who disagreed with you it's a valid reason not to get Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 ppl already played it on 360 why would you rebuy it ? but i think you should give Sigma 2 a rental just for the new story line with the other 3 characters i'll buy Sigma 2 own Sigma 1 great game and very difficult mainly because the game always screws you over by making you fight boss and than without warning or old man nearby to buy health items you fight another boss like around the end i fought 2 bosses in another dimension a wave of enemies and than a boss fight with the devil and than a boss fight against the gaint woman statue thing and than another boss fight but with the gaint woman statue thing's second form i had to go back down the spire fight the ghost fish which are really hard just to buy more health items and climb back up facing the fishes and after the second form boss fight another boss fight but with the final boss but with no old man on the last chapter to buy health items. on topic can't wait for Sigma 2

The Ninja Gaiden series was never as gory and brutal as NG2. Sigma 2 actually brings the series back to its roots. It's still got blood, gore, and dismemberment, it just doesn't have that excessive, screen-covering blood splatter that NG2 has. I'd take higher resolution, better texture detail, more consistent framerate, and more content over blood any day.

but the removal of limbs ist a good one. The games focuses on the brutal finishers and now no limbs fall off(they disappear??) and it isnt even a red hole(in NG 2 blood even spurtted out a little). Its just leaves a gaping black spot. thats just stupid.

I bet you want them to replace the guts in GOW 3 with bubbles.

Everyone here seems to ignore the fact that no limbs means less polys. like I said, improvements that take away from other areas of the game have to be judged by an individual.

another thing is the sad removal of the "bashing" off of limbs. Im sure they took out the little meatballs that splattered on the walls and floor.

I agree that owning all the consoles (or at least the 360 and PS3) is the best way to go. But unlike you I have come to love both consoles pretty much equally. The 360 is better in some ways and the PS3 is better in some ways.

so I guess that makes you better than me.........lol,
because I prefer one over the other?
I think it all comes down to opinion.....something this ridiculous site doesn't tolerate(only PS3 exremists achieve 8- 10 bubbles).

You're telling me I should love all consoles equally......even if I truly don't?
You're wrong pal for
talking smack because the 360s games appeal to my
gaming taste more than my PS3s.

pathetic

ps,
I hate to say it and sound like a POS BOT,
but the PS3 is still in 3rd for a reason.......and it isn't because it's more expensive,
any who,
enjoy N4G,
the Sony nut site.

I have ackknoledged the good improvements theve made to this game. But it seem there are many that wont even consider that they downgraded other things. Like more jaggies so far, and less polys in no limbs.

Ng 2 needed work, but what they did kinda seems to go against the whole theme of the game.

I know it wouldnt be ok for thsi to happen to GoW, but theres no chance that people would actually like a different version.

In fact if any game like dead space, fear, fallout, or gears of war came to ps3 with blue mist and removed limbs that instantly disappear and leave big black spots it would be looked down upon. I dont think that this was a good improvement. And if any of these games came to 360 like that Id be upset.

But there are other thing taht are good about it. I just dont get the blind loyalty.

NG is great tho so it will be fun still.

Every time somebody wants to say somethin about a PS3 comparison they say "more jaggies" AINT NONE TO BE SEEN.

You can't see any in the video here and what screen shots have you seen that show these outrageous "jaggies".

Yall c'mon now. The PS3 version is the better build this time, stop this BS.

Or do me one better and link me a side by side HD screen shot so we can all see it.

Trust me no one was asking for ninja gaiden for the ps3,but they wanted to go multi-plat and give more texture, more features, and co-op and such cant really complain. If they really cared about the 360 version they might dlc it. I'll take take the co-op over blood and gore any day.

yea i know no one was asking for ng2 on the ps3, thats the main reason why it will sell like st!T and will be dlc for the 360. so at the end of the day ppl here on n4g are just " pretending" to want the game " knowing" they will not buy it just like all those other super great games on the ps3 that many ppl just do not buy.

co-op is great and i just might get the game day 1 cause i just love ninja gaiden been playing it since before the awesome xbox version. what sucks though is that i got the game already, why should i pay full price for something that can simply be done through dlc, i know that wuldnt cost no 60 bucks. ill just have to wait and se how my cash flow is on 9-29-09..

edit------------------------- -----

just look at this. this guy says no one wanted ng2 on the ps3 and 2 agrees already. ng2 is a great game but only a real gamer would know that, it seems like you ppl just like announcements, you are the kinda ppl that actually dont play/buy games you just live in the news world of it..

i bet i will get at least 5 disagrees on this post. all cause the sony fanatics just cant handle the truth. my first post is at 4 already. its all facts ppl build a bridge and get over it.

ps3 couldn't handle the blood splatter.....but it can handle body parts disappearing into thin air.
