nice interview. however, after the interview with Itagaki, i have a funny hunch that there's some discord in the House of Team Ninja: almost like one developer wants to stick strictly with one console, while the other developer wants to broaden the franchise to other markets. i'm more for the latter approach, as it will be beneficial to all gamers.

TheXgamerLive6507d ago

that good at all. Definately more like a port, so I don't care to get it on the XBOX 360. I'd rather not see it come my way in it's present form.

zypher6507d ago

so, you don't want an already great game, with vastly improved graphics, new enemy types and enemy AI, new bosses, a completely new playable character, plus additional moves for the original protagonist to come your way? okay. i think this has more to do with you being a bit upset that the series is finally coming to a non-XBox system, and less to do with it supposing to be a "port".

me myself: i've already beaten it on the original XBox (or rather on the 360 via backwards compatibility). but with the new additions such as new moves, new enemies, new playable characters etc. (including motion-sensing control) i think it'll warrent another purchase, just as long as it's sub-$50.

TheXgamerLive6505d ago

I haven't played a demo yet, so I could be wrong. But I don't think so.
Improved is as in very little, so it's just not worth buying.
Maybe the next title in the series if there is one, and one that's designed to fully utilize next gen. hardware.

Its not the sequel!!! For NJ 2 EVERYTHING will be new.At the end of the day, NGS is just Ninja Gaiden Black with better graphics and an extra playable character. At least Ninja Gaiden Black was $20. But I digress. Its still Ninja Gaiden and it will be great (even though its not being made by Itagaki himself - he's now starting on NJ 2 on the 360). Plus, since its the first, you know your already getting a great game.

eques judicii6506d ago

All your stuff may or maynot be correct... but still, it is a port of the same game but with some different features..

much like mgs 2: substance on the xbox??? didn't that game suck??

some franchises need to stay on one console and under one developer. Nothing in sigma appeals to me.

DJ6506d ago

I'll definitely give this game a shot, especially since the Xbox guys gave it so much angry/joyous praise. I keep hearing "it's awesome..but it's so hard..and i couldn't beat it, but it was so awesome!" etc, heh.

TheXgamerLive6505d ago (Edited 6505d ago )

I remember a time in the game I was fighting a sort of guardian samarai warrior on horse back and his magical minnions kept disappearing and re appearing where ever I would move, It was tough as hell to beat but I finally did it. I was proud, lol.

The underwater missions were also very hard but fun also. He has some great moves and the cities were huge for a last gen, title.

Yes, the game is fun, you should buy it and have fun playing it, I just was saying earlier that it only looks a bit dressed up to me, not a true next gen, title, but still fun:))

They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.

micdagoat191677d ago

been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.

Domestupidname1676d ago

I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.

NeonEnigma3399d ago

Is PS Now fairly consistent with a good internet connection? Do the games offer trophy support?

SamPao3399d ago (Edited 3399d ago )

yes and yes. Go read on forums, you only hear good things once your connection is good enough. (and you don't need a very fast one)
Trophy support is there.

did you even watch the vid?
on 20 seconds they tell you about trophy support :P

JoGam3399d ago (Edited 3399d ago )

They need to bring Socom II

NeonEnigma3399d ago

No, i was mainly concerned with hearing a users opinion of the service so i just commented. But I will be giving this a try tonight

morganfell3399d ago

Yes it works and works very well. Trophy Support is there as well as cloud saves for any game progression.

bouzebbal3398d ago

Doesn anyone know if PS Now supports 3D gaming?
U3 and Stardust were good in 3D.

morganfell3398d ago (Edited 3398d ago )

@abzdiine,

As of January, no 3D support. Now is not set up to properly detect your 3D display and manual choice is off since 3D requires a massive amount of bandwidth. Frame packing doesn't work well of bandwidth that currently supports smooth play in standard mode.

I would think it could be done without a hit but they would have to substantially increase the intial cache size during the game launch on the resident system (PS4, PS3, Vita, PS TV, or Sony TV) that is running Now.

S2Killinit3399d ago

yeah. I have never tried it with a fighting game yet. But the games I've tried worked just fine. Never tried multiplayer either though. I didn't eve know you could also play multiplayer games on PS NOW.

Scatpants3399d ago

It works great on my vita. My internet connection is fairly good, but not the best.

Bobby Kotex3399d ago

When I beta tested it, I had a crappy DSL connection and it worked flawlessly.

Skate-AK3399d ago

I have 18mb/s download and it worked pretty well for me. The game I played was a simple hunting one though.

NeonEnigma3399d ago

Thanks everybody for feedback, i was pretty intent on believing that streaming a game to my ps4 would work like crap, but after streaming shadow of the colossus to my ps4 im actually pretty excited about it. Its definately going to help me knock out some of my backlog!

Jedislayer3399d ago (Edited 3399d ago )

I love ps now, think about 100 + ps3 games streamed right away to your tv. Don't have to wait for gamefly, don't need to get up and go to the store. Instantly streamed to you from an internet connection. Think about it. gamefly two disc plan runs you 22.00 a month for two disc and sometimes you have to wait. 2-4 days for a game. $44.00 for 3 months gets you unlimited access to ps3 games and soon ps2 and ps1. If you are an mmo player you pay 15.00 a month just to play that one game. i think the value is perfect. Even when psn goes down. Think about mmo's when they go down or go down for maintenance you still pay 15.00 a month for that one game. Not trying to fanboy here but ps now will be a good investment. Think about it you don't have to hook up your old console just to play a game.

freshslicepizza3399d ago

it will be a good investment (for me) once they have ps4 games.

andresegr3399d ago

Playstation Now won't include Playstation 4 titles while the Ps4 remains on the market, it doesn't make any sense.

Death3399d ago

Sony has already said they will release PS4 games for the PS4 on the service.

freshslicepizza3399d ago

@andresegr,
"Playstation Now won't include Playstation 4 titles while the Ps4 remains on the market, it doesn't make any sense."

why not? sony already mentioned this along with ps1 and ps2 games.

http://www.gamespot.com/art...

rental outlets are becoming harder and harder to find. they may not see much value adding it to the pay by the month plan since they have the plus service and it's monthly free give-aways but it could be a great option to rent games.

_-EDMIX-_3399d ago (Edited 3399d ago )

"Playstation Now won't include Playstation 4 titles while the Ps4 remains on the market, it doesn't make any sense"

Not sure what you mean. PS now has PS3 titles on PS3...

Not sure why you wouldn't have PS4 titles on PS4. I say this based on with PS4 you have buttons, features etc that make more sense to only be streamed from another PS4.

I very much see them streaming PS4 games in the future as I see no reason not to.

I'm not trolling either, but what would make you think the couldn't or wouldn't?

WelkinCole3398d ago

As a core gamer. Would you consider it going forward even though you might already own a PS1,PS2 and PS3?.

I am actually surprised that its getting good reviews from core gamers.

xer03398d ago

I'm looking forward to playing, Siren: Bloodcurse again! :)

Deadlead3399d ago (Edited 3399d ago )

I tried PS Now for a month and am now really intrigued by the games on demand model, the convenience of such a massive catalogue at your fingertips is awesome. But I have ps3 so the value just isn't there at the moment. Also I couldn't help but wonder why there aren't more Sony exclusives featured on Now?

SoapShoes3399d ago

Yeah every Sony published game should be there! It is great on PS Vita!

StormLegend3399d ago

I love PS now, it just needs more AAA games.

WickedLester3399d ago (Edited 3399d ago )

Agreed. That and games from previous generations besides PS3. Where are all the PS1/PS2 classics?

Death3399d ago

Initial focus is on the PS3 with PS/PS2/PS4 games to be added later.

KryptoniteTail3399d ago

The best games to play on PSNow would be RPGs, Card Games, Board Games, pretty much anything turn-based or non-reflex related. On the opposite side, Fighting games, for example, are absolute trash on PSNow because if you're even half serious about them you don't want any interference, period. Normal online tends to be bad enough as it is for serious players.

I would also stay from anything like 1001 Spikes or Shmups.

Also, when is the price going to drop to a reasonable $10 per month/$100 per year?

Simco8763398d ago

Yeah $44 for 3 months is kind of trash.

Joe9133398d ago

You can tell by your comment you either never really tried PSnow or your internet sucks.
