Was Ninja Gaiden 2 just a full demo for the xbox 360?

chaosatom - 265 days 9 hours ago

And it even got passed.

Hopefully the trend will continue, and other developers would start using ps3 to its potential. Looks like the 360 was holding back the Ninja within. lol.

ng2 for the 360 was horrible the camera sucks, graphics wasnt all that great and it have lots of flaws.A lot of 360 fans are whining right now that we are getting the definite version of Ninja Gaiden 2..

maybe people are making too big a deal about this. Ninja Gaiden 2 was "not" a big seller for 360. It was just not a major impact game, and suddenly they announce a version for PS3 with some enhancements, and people on N4G are making a big deal about it, and I don't think it's that big a deal.

I mean, we're probably still talking about Ninja Gaiden 2. The game kinda disappointed on 360, and now they want another shot, marketing Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 as a new PS3 exclusive, but is it really?

EDIT
wow, at the disagrees. But, it's my fault. I should know better than to try to reason with the PS3 fanboys.

Always such petty generalizations on this site. Remember, MGS4 is "just a movie"... until any porting rumors are announced. It's a "big deal" to me because it's NGS2, a sequel to Sigma, which is a game in a franchise I love. I could care less what it sells, and frankly the fact that "gamers" quickly and consistently run to the sales data in defense of any argument these days is pathetic.

NG2 was flawed. NGS2 looks to FIX those flaws, and make the game a better experience. What's more, now I can own it on the console I prefer, with the controller I prefer for action games. So tell me why I SHOULDN'T be excited as a gamer and an NG fan?

The third-parties of this generation already said f.u. to exclusivity so they are going to use all loop holes they can to release their games. For example the DLC that was thought to be exclusive for Oblivion was later released on the PS3 as a game of the year edition.

This will be the same case of Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition and the Sigma series was titled so that it can "appear" to separate itself from Ninja Gaiden.

Honestly, I don't care for Sigma or Sigma 2. Go ahead and disagree all you want, but the PS3 controller sucks balls for this game, and that's my opinion. See my problem is not that this game is on PS3, it's the fact that I got an incomplete game when I spent $60 on NG2 for 360. THAT"S WHY I AM PISSED. Tecmo would be nothing today if it wasn't for Itagaki. Tecmo can go suck a big one right now. With the exception of the one hit wonder Tecmo Bowl, what's Tecmo mostly known for? Ninja Gaiden and DOA, possibly Fatal Frame and Rygar but those are not acclaimed like DOA and NG. Two of Itagaki's frachises. Hell Itagaki put Tecmo on the map. After he was fired, they had to merge their sorry asses. Screw you Tecmo. You suck balls. How can you backstab fans like that? Pure bullsh*t. /end rant

To each his own... personally I LOVE the PS3 controller for these types of games. It wasn't until Sigma hit that I really started to appreciate the the combat, as I couldn't STAND the Xbox controller for games like this.

And yeah, as I said before, I take no pleasure in seeing fans of a series that is on both consoles being snubbed. It's Lost & The Damned all over again, but reversed.

I don't know why we have all this snobby behavior due to this improved version of the game coming out on the PS3, but it appears a lot of people (or should I say PS3 fans) were jealous that the 360 got this exclusive game as evident by the behavior.

It is almost a year later and I got to enjoy it on the 360 all this time. I'm happy that I now get more Ninja Gaiden. I don't care if it is on the PS3 or 360 as long as I get more Ninja Gaiden with or without blood!

Also, you need to accept that not all developers share your 4-D vision when it comes to the PS3. Itagaki is as entitled to his opinion as any of Sony's developers are to theirs when praising the PS3.

Fact is: anyway that claims the 360 is more powerful than the PS3, is utterly delusional.

PS3 is simply the most powerful and anyone with an OBJECTIVE mindset knows this. This isnt exactly new either. People been saying this since the day PS3 launched. But to the 360 fanboys...lol.

I mean ask yourself how dumb and blind certain people are if they actually BELIEVED in MSs lies and MSs PR lies (like Itagaki) claiming nonsense that NG2 cant be done on PS3 and that 360 is most powerful.

ORLY? Get fking real. And after Uncharted, MGS4, and KZ2 there is no DOUBT about it anymore. PS3 is over 20 times more powerful than the 360.

Uncharted 2, Infamous, Heavy Rain, GT5 and GOW3 will continue to proof this.

Xbox owners can already play this. Sure it doesn't have some of the extra features the PS3 version gets but its pretty much the same game.
Plus we get gore, which counts for alot.

Montreafart - 265 days 7 hours ago

Not with 30 extra missions, fixed camera angles for better experience, new characters, new weapons, new gigantic bosses and coop.

The hell it is.

Its not just the graphics and resolution thats getting a facelift. Owned.

NGS2 is simply the best Ninja Gaiden experience in town.

EDIT: the gore does not make or break the game. PS3 can handle gore twice as gory as 360 at 1080P. The gore was taken out to appeal to a larger audience and non teen rating. And in a way, they made the right choice. Because like I said, the gore in the game, is not what makes or breaks the game. The gore has always been just an extra added feature.

Agreed. Everyone should get the same amount of content for the same money. Exclusive DLC is a horrible practice (that seemed to have started with MS and the 360)

But NGS2 is just a unique exception. Tecmo or whoever is doing this intentionally to dishonor Idiotgaki.

You are epic failure. Whatever it was that you tried to convince us of, you failed epicly.

Also, its the 360 version of GTA4 that suffered from technical issues and as such, if one of the versions is a DEMO of the other, the demo would have been the 360 version.

Failure.

Sucks to be an xbot.

A game touted as one of 360s last exclusives and touted as permanent exclusive, nothing but a damn beta demo in the end. Sucks to be an xbot.

Thats what happens when you buy a 360. There is no developer in this world thats loyal to the 360 because they all know where 360 stands: faulty hardware and overhyped sales and MS arrogance.

You think companies like EPIC, Bethesa, Bungie etc enjoy working with MS? LOL if thats the case, then why do they talk bad about MS all the time? Care to explain that?

The only reason they are working with MS, is because MS writes big fat checks. Well, those days are over. And thus ends their relationship.

Agreed. The gore exceeded what was even in NG and felt outta place and forced. But look what co-op says about PSN.

Where was it in NG or NG Black? It wasn't need and as such, helped make it better than NG2. If Sigma 2 focuses on the combat, camera and co-op instead of "Hey, I cut an arm off...for the 15 thousandth time", I will buy it. Happily.

why dont you have a guess why the extreme gore wasn't in the older Ninja Gaidens?
Could it possibly be because the old xbox wasn't powerfull enough, or a new idea.

Oh yeah and NG was only better than NG2 due to the way the game was set out (level design and story etc). Limb removal, gore and the combat system were the real improvements in NG2 most other aspects of NG2 were inferior to NG.

Fact of the matter is the gore is really good. they shouldn't take it out.

Limb removal an impossibility on the Xbox 1, but Dead Space (with limb removal) was demo'd on it first. Please. Excessive gore isn't always needed. As the superior NG Black proves, matter fact, the superior NG Sigma proves. I'm a fan of gore, just not for gore's sake. And NG2 was a rushed framerate chugging, sh!t camera having mess. Glad I only spent $10 on it at Best Buy.
