- olddirtycr, on 10/12/2007, -7/+46I've beat normal ninja gaiden 3 times, hurricane pack 2 times, Ninja Gaiden Black 2 times. The game is still fresh enough I could play black again with no troubles. This is coming from a person who usually looses interests in games very quick and usually never replays a game. Besides, this game is not a port. It's a complete remake following the same story with tons of additional features, weapons, Rachel's storyline.
With that said I played the demo earlier today and it is kickass. When you first start playing everything is very familiar, the first level is the exact same. This is fine though, because it was still as fun as ever.
I hooked up my xbox to the TV and did a quick comparison. I was very surprised by how much better it looked. In fact the difference is just amazing. You can see much farther, everything is crisp and clear, the background is amazingly detailed. I can't wait till this comes out to buy!
P.S. Playing as Rachel is pretty cool, the only weapon they gave you for her in the demo was the warhammer but you could tell she wasn't just Ryu with a different model. - SfOwnsLa, on 10/12/2007, -7/+38Holy ***** I just played the first 10 minutes of NGS and I totally jizzed myself. 1080p @ 60fps is the *****. Pick it up if you have time PS3 owners
- nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30what's that mracid? I couldn't hear you over the thought of playing Rachet and Clank, Lair, Killzone 2, MGS4, Warhawk, GT5, and Heavenly Sword.... But I'll call you when the PS3 gets any good exclusives and starts charging to play online P2P.
and also home.....
ps - i love 360 and wii too - xBBx, on 10/12/2007, -6/+31We appreciate your fanboyism. We really do.
- bittertea, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27I havn't played it yet... so yes I am excited about this game...
- khaosx2030, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Sigma?
I'm not doing any summation, im just kickin ass. - fallenone05, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21OMG I don't know If I'm going to be able to wait till the holidays to get my PS3!
- LiquidChimera, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20Just got and and it's freaking awesome. Can't wait til June
- bigbadgoat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18@ mracid
well in the next 6-8 months, Rachet and Clank, Lair, Killzone 2, Warhawk, and Heavenly Sword will be released. Please tell me what's wrong with warhawk? I really want to know, because to me, it looks like a massive, massive multiplayer version of StarFox, which will be completely and totally awesome.
Want some Killer Aps? Lair and Heavenly Sword will be sure to please. Want something a little more in the Nintendo Style? Ratchet and Clank coming at you. You fanboys are sad. There are plenty of "killer aps" headed to the PS3, very soon. In the mean time, I'll get back to my incredible racing sim of F1 world championship, and frag a few souls on Resistance. Not to mention the incredible fighting games available for the console.
Pull your head out of Mario's or Master Cheif's ass and look around every once in a while. - DJCult, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14It's well worth it. I bought it three times. Gave one as a gift. You really have to invest some time in practice, because it can be a mean, mean game. Best game in a loooooong time.
- ErinIsADrunk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Sigma looks sick. Looks like the PS3 will finally have something to show off all that graphical muscle power. Watching someone who is awesome at Ninja Gaiden play the Sigma demo is almost like your watching a CG trailer rather then watching someone play a game.

This is the only game exclusive to the xbox that ever interested me, unfortunately that didn't merit buying the console so I missed out on it. Ninja Gaiden always seemed like a game better suited to a Sony console, the ps2 had a ton of great 3rd person action/adventure games (devil may cry, god of war, shinobi, etc) whereas the xbox seemed geared towards people that play Halo and sports games. This is a step in the right direction for ps3, it desparately needs games like this to get people interested - roxya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I never had an xbox to play the other Ninja Gaiden games, but I got the Sigma demo from JP PSN last night... all I can say is thanks for TN for bringing it to the PS3. This game is gorgeous and plays amazingly well.

Halo 3: No official release date (expected september-ish)
Mario Galaxy: No official release date (expected october-ish)
These games, according to you, will be out before:
Lair: July 31st, 2007
Heavenly Sword: No official release date (expected august-ish)
Warhawk: No official release date (expected september-ish)
Also,
Killzone 2: No official release date (expected october-ish)
Ratchet and Clank: No official release date (expected november-ish)
Little Big World: No official release date (expected november-ish)
Home: No official release date (expected november-ish)
Now I know, you like to think that theres gonna be all these killer games out for all of your other favorite 1337 consoles, but CLEARLY that is NOT the case.
As you can see, the PS3 has a fabulous lineup due out both before and after Halo 3 and Mario Galaxy.
It's obvious you're a fanboy, anyone else who clearly does not have a bias can appreciate that regardless of the cost, the PS3 is a great piece of technology and has more potential to do many more great things than either the x360 or the wii. It is an extremely competitive console, and will remain so for quite some time. And clearly, it isn't a mistake of the system for anyone who buys it. I am happy with my console, I enjoy the currently released games for it, and I and looking forward to the many great games to come out for it, (literally) Millions of people will agree, to the tune of about 3 Million, give or take the random ebay sellers.
Please fanboy, go away, your opinions, although they are entertaining in the sense that they are laughable, are not well recieved here.
Pull your head out of Mario's or Master Cheif's ass and look around every once in a while. - Dan11023, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I just downloaded the demo..... and it was the sickest game ive ever played
- coheedcollapse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Actually, yeah. On the official blog they said they're working out bugs and they didn't want to release it with any glitches or anything so it'll be next week.
- spikormikor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9No wonder you couldn't get past Murai.
- charlescheese, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12I have a 1080p bravia, so yes I am excited for the 1080p goodness. Unfortunately it's still downloading. Virtua Tennis downloaded though...and holy *****, that's not my cup of tea. I don't understand how people can find a game like Virtua Tennis fun.
- drewdvorak, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Looks so good, the posts on kotaku are all positive.
This means that calling all cars will be out next week right.... right? - imikedaman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"The only problem is I could see it getting old, but if you enjoy good ol' hack 'n slash action"
1. Ninja Gaiden Black never gets old. Never.
2. NGB isn't a hack and slash game - it's very technical and has deep combat mechanics.
My roommate and I have beaten Ninja Gaiden a combined 10-15 times already, and we still both play the game regularly. The game supports so many different fighting styles with all its weapons and moves that it's hard for me to find even a single area in the game that feels stale yet. - JimmyJJWalker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6This game is sickly cool, I loved the previous versions on Xbox, but this blows them out of the water. The beautiful graphics and amazing speed of battle is simply phenominal! Having played every previous version I was very happy to see every aspect of the game improved. Something you seldom see with full blown game sequels, much less enhanced ports. Great work Team Ninja :)
BTW, k111, mracid70 and DBiz... Microsoft viral Marketing called and said your checks are in the mail. Maybe now you can afford a PS3 of your own and STFU with your lame trolling comments. - djSyndrome, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Too bad you haven't read up on the new features (Rachel, new weapons, etc.)
- samdu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Since there are no hacks available currently, what makes you think they'd be targeted at 1.50 anyway if they did appear? Dude, download 1.70, download NGS and just have fun with your console.
- Bega, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Best game on psn right now? hell yeah, it'll probably be my first new title after resistance (not counting downloads)
The dual katanas alone make it worth it. - deepmenace, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5people say that it's difficult to see the difference between 720p and 1080p in films and tv. what about something like this....could someone with a 1080p set test it?
- apoc06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4honestly, im not sure if i see firmware hacks coming for the ps3 anytime soon. alot of the legit "homebrew" coders are actually using linux to develop their homebrew. sony allowing linux to be installed easily on the ps3 cut the number of "hackers" looking for exploits to use in porting linux to the box in half.
now the hackers are just spending their time looking for a way to get linux to bypass the hypervisor so they can have access to the rsx processor too. - charlescheese, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I just downloaded it too, and it's awesome. I can't wait for this to come out. I'm going to be all over it on day one. This is a fun game, and it looks fantastic.
- djSyndrome, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Even at 720p, this game is still absolutely breathtaking. Pre-ordering today.
- daridave, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6"and I totally jizzed myself."
Too much information, dude.
...but really, I'd love to see that 1080p @ 60fps for myself. Must be awesome. Can't wait to get that new Dell monitor.. .I'll actually be able to have 1080p at a decent price... wait a sec, does the PS3 do it via component? :X - bigbadgoat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ohh yeah,
don't forget Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, due out in November. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4This is sweet, one of the best titles for the xbox and for the ps3 it just needs multiplayer for unregulated awesome
- jacksons98, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hey Ninja Gaiden fans. I found this link that shows how to do the moves for the game.
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25595767 - arunforce, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Xbox. Hypocritical fanboy, you just admitted that you are against the PS3, for no apparent reason, which is biased (hence fanboy). You don't have a PS3 so how can you speak for it, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Also, you say the PS3 is inferior because it has 6 good games coming out soon, but you can only list one for Wii or 360.
Who cares about the console, it's the games idiot. The technologically inferior console doesn't always win, (Genesis vs SNES?) that's just stupid. It's all about setup, how everything is handled, what games are sold, who you target, etc... - mracid70, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Your credit company called and agreed to give you some more time. Looks like purchasing a PS3 won't lead to bancrupcy after all!
- eliotmat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Hopefully the PS3 will drop a few hundred dollars soon so I can play this.
- bigbadgoat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1screwed up, digg down.
- bonjovisucks, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4Not sure if the game is really deep enough to justify a $60 purchase, but it looks GORGEOUS. The fighting system and wall running/jumping work really well. The only problem is I could see it getting old, but if you enjoy good ol' hack 'n slash action and want a nice graphical update check out the demo (heck, check out the demo if you're solely a graphics whore).
- logicalnoise, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1*Waits for itagaki to chime in with new footage of Ninja Gaiden 2*
- eliotmat, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2@bigbadgoat:
Ninja Gaiden Sigma looks awesome! I'll probably never get to play it on a PS3 in 1080p though.
It's not that all our heads are up Master Chief's ass. I'm just pissed off Sony put their product out of my reach. By the time I can afford to upgrade to 1080p from 720p AND buy a PS3 this generation of gaming will likely be over. By then I will have forgotten about all the great titles on PS3 I missed.
So poo on sony for putting their product out of reach and for Ken Kutaragi trying to make us feel stupid for not getting it.
So, sure, the PS3 has higher future potential than the other 2 current consoles, but your average Joe will never get to experience it. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0I like how games randomly add things to titles that sound flashy.
Sigma.
What about PHI?
I'm a big fan of Theta. NINJA GAIDEN THETA X
On that note I'm sure I just spelled out someone's fraternity/sorority. - ChinezePanda, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2^
Hackers are a bunch of queers
=)
If you are waiting... DONT BE COMPLAINING THAT "SONY HASNT FIXED BLAH BLAH"... cause.. well... they have - mracid70, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1bigbadgoat, you STILL didn't answer my question, perhaps a third try is in store? WHICH system am I a fanboy off? I'm against the PS3, yes, but I don't say that MY system is the best. The PS3 is indeed a huge mistake, your "fabolous linup" is about as as fabalous as a useless $600 Blueray player that happens to play visually decent/impressive yet content void video games (sorry for the lack of comparative imagery, but I think the idea of such a product is bad enough). Now I'm not seeing eye to eye with you, but I can agree on one thing, technologically wise, the PS3 is superior to the Wii and the 360 (possibly put togather). But the thing is, technology does not make a console. If you take a look at into the history of consoles, you'll see that the technologically inferior console with the better games ALWAYS wins. Playstation 1 vs. N64, PS2 vs. Xbox etc. Also, consider the fate of the 3D0 and other extremly expensive consoles...they all failed. Look, I don't give a ***** if you think I'm a fanboy, but I'm just curiuos as to why. Have I even once used the word L337? My opinion on the PS3 is based on the PS3, not on my own personal decision to purcahse another console(s). It's fine if you don't agree with me but the whole fanboy angle is getting lame.
- woobeforethesun, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0Now my dilemma is - do I stick with FW1.50 for possible future hacks, or do I take a leap of faith just to play this damn fine looking demo?
it's a touch choice :/ - anonymous666, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1It's like Prince of Persia but with better graphics
- bigbadgoat, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1*****, browser ***** digg down
- mracid70, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2@ bigbadgoat First of all, I said a killer app released in the "immediate forseable future", 6-8 monthes is a long time pal. By that time, Halo 3, Halo wars, Mario for Wii, etc. will all be out; the situation will be totally different with the Wii and the 360 still having an advantage. Second of all, I want to know why you think I'm a fanboy. Which system(s) do I own? Listen einstein, bashing the PS3 isnt the same thing as saying the 360 or the wii are "teh b3st". I'm not saying that other systems are good,I'm just sayign that the PS3 is a mistake of a system, both for sony and for the consumer.
- torifile, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2I'm downloading it and I'm looking forward to playing it, but @all you who are excited about the 1080p "goodness": do you even have 1080p sets or are you just spec-whores?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -15/+3I thought they said it was only in 720p?
- xBBx, on 10/12/2007, -16/+1Bah, meant to reply. Digg down =P
- mracid70, on 10/12/2007, -20/+1LMAO @ nreynolds, you know just as well as I do that alot of people wouldn't dish out $60 for half of those games, let alone a colossol $600. I mean MGS4 and GT5 are/will be excellent titles but they are pretty far off. Now something like Warhawk....I mean come on! Look tell me this, what's the killer app on the PS3 right now or in the immediate forseable future? I'm talking about a Gears of War/Zelda type of thing. Oh, and one last thing, a fanboy pushes forth his system and claims all others to be *****. I'm claiming that the PS3 is a major dissapointment but where do you see me pushing some sort of agenda for a console I own?
