The camera in NG2 was not as bad as most people say because you can flick it around yourself with the shoulder buttons, but it does need improving, lets hope they work on that for NG3. I also hope that now that Itagaki is not in on the project that they keep that difficulty level the same, NG being a HARD series is one of the main things that sets it apart from the others.

Used to really make me laugh when I saw lots of copies of NG sigma and NG2 on the shelves at the local 2nd hand shop quite soon after release day as I knew these belonged to the type of gamers who preferred stuff like LBP or Viva Pinhata :P

Good riddins to that Ramones wannabe, Igataki, so long buddy

The camera sucked for boss fights. I had to play the worm in the subway boss close to 15 times just because I couldn't see him when he was 2 feet away from me.

It was fine for fighting little things, but it made some bosses almost impossible.

That means that GT will go home to sugar their own churros without Microsoft's money buying good reviews.

Not sure what either of your comments have to do with the above article. You forgot to mention gamespot, eurogamer, edge mag and kotaku...etc, etc.

Its a little ridiculous that people still think there is a grand conspiracy theory. Opinion is opinion. Its not fact and personal bias account for everything you do in any given day. Do both of you like the color blue? Like cats or dogs? Same thing. Asking someone to be completely objective is not possible. Journalism and reporting are only able to maintain the appearance of objectivity. Try finding an article that comes off as neutral. Next visit a console specific-fan website that intentionally is biased on the same topic. You might begin to see that everyone is of different opinion. Console preference for most people are just shades of gray with one being preferred a little more or a little less. If you want an opinion that matches your own, don't visit websites that you feel are biased. After all, your opinion is the only one that matters when it comes to games and preference.

Itagaki must be pissed somewhere out there. Especially true if the "new" Team Ninja can prove that they can improve on where NG series lacked (story, presentation, art direction etc).

"...and we are better off giving both audiences an entirely new game."

That could very well imply separate 360 and PS3 games. I really hope that is the case, as the Sigma engine is pretty slick and I'm all for developers using the strengths of an individual system (not picking sides, I'm saying EITHER the 360 or PS3), as opposed to cutting corners and forcing things to work on two separate platforms. (FF XIII...cough...cough; I'd honestly have preferred Square to do a FF XIIII on the 360 and keep XIII on the PS3. Exclusives are almost always greater than multiplats. Please don't bring Haze or Too Human into the discussion, those are horrible, horrible mistakes.)

If you haven't figured it out already there will be a rerelease of NG3/NGS3. Tecmo has been pretty consistent. They released the first one three times. Ninja Gaiden Black for the Xbox came out little more than a year after the original. I have purchased NG, NGB, NGS, NGDS, and NG2. Perhaps its assumed the most hardcore Gaiden' fans will purchase/repurchase every new release.. :-p Inductive reasoning, I know but more credible the more you examine the enthusiasm for each Gaiden release. Business wise the logic is pretty sound. My purchasing habits on the other hand...

Well so far, the two "Sigma's" has been exclusive to the PS3.

So it begs the question, if NG3 is multiplatform, will both consoles get a Sigma version or only the PS3?

Logically, I think both will get a Sigma version.

Dude cmon... we don't need that :(

It's been proven time and time again how amazing this gen's multiplatform games have been.

And a Ninja Gaiden 3 is just awesome.

They still need to prove some more to me; Multiplatforms suck IMO and have been completely disappointing every time. Except for GTA4, which everybody but me, seems to be disappointed with(There were disappointing aspects, but overall I enjoyed the game).

no actually i don't think it's good

SIGMA 1 was way better than Ninja Gaiden And Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 will be bether than NG2 . They fix issues of NG2 give solid framerate of 60 better graphic.. etc

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.

Awesome game.

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.
