"IGN: What is Team Ninja's strategy with this series? Is it now going to live on PS3?

Our goal with Ninja Gaiden Sigma is that we have what we feel is one of the best action games ever made and we want to bring it to as many people as possible. We don't consider anything to be the definitive version of Ninja Gaiden. We want to have the best action game in the world at the time of its release. Itagaki-san blazed a trail with Ninja Gaiden and now we're broadening that trail by bringing the game to PS3."

Short answer, no, long answer no.

specialguest7165d ago (Edited 7165d ago )

why do you guys like to come here and take a defensive position and spoil the positive PS3 article anyway? what is this insecurity i sense?

on another note, i've been noticing that the PS3 so far, has been getting the better and improved versions of a 360 game like: Fight Night Round 3, Ninja Gaiden, and Oblivion, & Full Auto 2. it's kinda like the 360 is a platform for their prototype version, but meh...

zypher7165d ago

i'm not sure how you came to that conclusion after reading such a vague statement. this isn't like Square with FFXI on 360: Team Ninja realizes that they can make more money in all territories if they make Ninja Gaiden multi-platform while not being crippled by an inferior system, which they viewed the PS2 to be.

furthermore, Team Ninja has a long history of developing primarily for the most powerful system. the first DOA was a Saturn exclusive that got ported to the PSOne. DOA 2 was a Dreamcast exclusive (which was the most powerful system at the time), until the PS2 came out, to which it was ported. both DOA 3 and Ninja Gaiden were originally being developed for the PS2, until Microsoft announced the superior XBox, in which case both games switched to that console. thence the series' stayed thither, despite the XBox's horrible Japanese sales, simply because it offered Team Ninja more power. they have already expressed a) disappointment in Microsoft for sticking with standard DVD's, b) approval of Sony for chosing next-gen DVD's, and c) interest in developing for the PS3 (hence Ninja Gaiden Sigma). its probable that the sequel to Ninja Gaiden will be on the 360, no more or less probable than it would also be multi-platform. however, given Team Ninja's past, it would not surprise me to see Ninja Gaiden go PS3 only.

UrbanJabroni7165d ago

I think you are both correct. I really was just getting fed up with what I viewed to be a trend towards rather poor game journalism by the "major players." It seems to me that they are really the ones fueling the fire and I made a stupid comment.

That said,

The article gave NO conclusion whatsoever regarding future consoles.

I think the game is actually great news for the PS3. I for one love the game and am looking forward to it.

So I'm sorry for my round of "bashing." I'm just a tad fed up with coming to this site and reading the same crap arguments for and against the systems over and over and over...it came across in a post where I acted no better than the bashers.

Re: the comment "it's kinda like the 360 is a platform for their prototype version", I would have to say that this is simply due to the fact that the 360 came out first and they are trying to maximize profits on these games (and of course improve them with additional time). I don't think it is necessarily a sign that the system is for prototypes going forward.

That said, I would LOVE IT if ALL games moving forward were multiplatform so we could stop the bickering. On the plus side, this does seem to be the trend for most major 3rd party studios. Then it would simply come down to a preference of BluRay vs HDDVD (or none)...which would probably be much more civil. :)

You all called me out, and that was deserved.

I got the feeling from this article that they are disrupting a lot of the things that itagaki put into ninja gaiden... lessening the difficulty, duel wielding, playing rachel... it just seems to not be quite the same, but it will have to be seen when it comes out... i'm also not so sure about baddies on motorcycles...

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle13d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde20d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy20d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12520d ago (Edited 20d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga21d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199221d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga21d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman20d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger21d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box21d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion20d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7221d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7521d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit21d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14921d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7721d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
