From SouthSideGamer: "Everyone knows that Tecmo has recently announced a sequel to the ps3 exclusive Ninja Gaiden sigma, coming this fall, which is a remake of the first ninja gaiden game on the original xbox. They have said that this will not be a direct port of the xbox 360 version, Ninja Gaiden 2. The features will include an enhanced version of the game with better visuals, Co-op, new characters, fixed camera angle issues, a refined gameplay experience. This does sound exciting for the ps3 fans who have been waiting for more Ninja gaiden sigma games but what about the players on the xbox 360? Will they get some of the updates to fix these issues?"
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 debuted in 2009; ahead of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty's launch, it's time to look back at one of Tecmo Koei's best titles.
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.
I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.
Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.
Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.
Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?
I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
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.
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.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.
It was something MS wanted at a certain time - meaning *soon* - with Iagaki's lone-warrior, heroines are only good for "bouncing" mentality hampering more. The PS3 is getting the version where the rest of of th teams took more time with open minds.
It sure was.
SSG : "why didn’t developers fix these issues and give the gamers these new assets for the original game?"
Itagaki : "PS3 port of Ninja Gaiden II "would be a loss of face for everyone involved."
yeah.
No,it was the beta.
Soooo!!! you can actually call NG2 on xbox 360 a beta test... itagaki really sounds stupid, he said the ps3 couldn't handle a graphics intenisve game like NG2... boy doesn't he feel really crunchy right now!!!
