It's awsome on Xbox One X. Greatest enhanced game on Xbox One X

MoshA1847d ago

Would sell 10x better on PS4 where all fans of this genre should be since NieR, Nioh, Bloodborne etc.

timotim1847d ago

The reality is however, it won't sell at all on PS4. Nier can be played on X and PC, so can Nioh on PC where they both out perform the PS4 version. Sales no not make a game better.

Concertoine1847d ago (Edited 1847d ago )

Maybe, ninja gaiden has always had a fanbase on xbox going back to the OG xbox. It would be a hassle to port the game to ps4. It was tailor made for 360 - thats why the ps3 version Sigma 2 is so bad.

The X doesnt touch 360 code and just brings it to almost 4k, fixing the framerate issues and the awful resolution.The digital foundry video is very interesting. The article is right to say the game has a new life on X.

Imortus_san1847d ago

3 temporary exclusives that that be played on PC.

bluebenjamin1847d ago

Only if ps4 could enchance PS3 games 🤷🏿‍♂️ hell cant even enchance Ps1 or 2 but you do have Playstation Now to look to the lag shouldn’t count in this game since its so fast paced lol

MoshA1847d ago (Edited 1847d ago )

Yikes these people. Thank God Platinum Games are only working on PS4 and Nintendo exclusives :))
Thank God for Demon's Souls Remake and Bloodborne 2. Thank God GOTY of 2016-2018 were Nintendo/Sony exclusives.

You Sony fanboys deserve data corruption. You jackasses stay clicking on Xbox tabs to troll. You people are worse than Texas police.

I love this game. This game was the reason why I wanted an Xbox 360.

Primal Rex1847d ago (Edited 1847d ago )

was going to buy it again loved it on 360 until i saw the price of the digital version on xbox one store its £25 bit steep !

Concertoine1847d ago

Just get a used copy from gamestop or ebay.

bluebenjamin1847d ago

Soon as I heard it was remasters I went to gamestop and bought arond 12 bucks I think cant remember but it was less than 30$ thats for sure

Smokehouse1847d ago

Still have my 360 copy but I don’t have an X. Just an S but I might give it a go anyway. My favorite NG easily.

TheHateTheyGive1847d ago (Edited 1847d ago )

Digital foundry, lol.

timotim1847d ago

I guess you had to find something negative to say, and that was the best you came up with...

....and that's a bad thing how?

343_Guilty_Spark306d ago

If it ain’t on Sony box it’s bad

autobotdan306d ago (Edited 306d ago )

Ninja Gaiden 2 was never multiplat. NG Sigma 2 is a remixed game not the same game at all

darthv72306d ago

Dante's inferno... such a great GoW inspired game. So sad the sequel was canned, it sounded like it was going to be even more epic than the first.

Vits306d ago

Yeap, classic GoW is still better mechanically. But the aesthetics and atmosphere of Dante's Inferno were just top-notch. Shame it never got a PC port, but at the very least is available on modern Xbox.

Juiceid306d ago

This list is ok, but Ninja Gaiden reigns supreme!

GhostScholar306d ago

I just can’t get into the devil may cry series. In my opinion you never feel powerful in those games. The guns are pointless as they only serve to be a flashy part of a combo. DMC was the only one that I could tolerate long enough to beat.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds503d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

deleted503d ago

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69503d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3503d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese503d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits503d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

shinoff2183503d ago

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Old news now. A few days old

Az1ner1560d ago

Been rocking ng II..such brutality!

Prubar1560d ago

I play a shit tone if action adventure games and NG2 remains one of my favourites. As soon as I’m done DMC5 again ima break this one out.

1560d ago
spicelicka1560d ago

NG2 has the most satisfying combat I've ever experienced in a hack n slash game. I don't know why in the hell they changed it up in the games following.

Z5011560d ago (Edited 1560d ago )

Maybe, because NG has never been about 1 thing cept difficulty. NG always changes since part 2 on NES. (built-in wall climbing & 'shadows')

When NG launched on Xbox. I was like "Why'd they get rid of shadows?"

babadivad1559d ago

Because Team Ninja booted Itigaki from the company. Games have been utter shite ever since.
