EGM admits typo: Ninja Gaiden 2 not coming to PS3 |
Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: EGM, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Microsoft, Sony, Team Ninja
Ó
If you grabbed a copy of Electronic Gaming Monthly's (EGM) latest issue, one small detail may have raised your eyebrow. Among its pages is Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden 2, which is listed not as an exclusive on the Microsoft Xbox 360, but a cross-platform title that will also appear on the Sony PlayStation 3. According to EGM's previews editor Bryan Intihar, however, that snippet is just a product of a typographical error.
Intihar posted on a thread over at the NeoGAF forums, clarifying that the gaming magazine made a mistake. A part of his forum post read, "this was just a mistake on our end (damn those late-night deadlines!). NG2--as far as I know--is only coming to the 360."
Publisher Tecmo indeed haven't made any official announcements regarding a PS3 version of Ninja Gaiden 2. Some may remember that Team Ninja did state when the ninjutsu-powered title was first unveiled that it is a 360 exclusive, and it's developed using an in-house engine designed to make games for Microsoft's console.

make money off their game just as I said it'll never come unless m$ says it's okay which won't happen the only reason NGS came to ps3 was because m$ didn't publish it tecmo did n
it took 3 years to port on a ps
console so if u want NG2 so bad buy a 360 it don't cost that much

Of course A PS3 release in some way shape or form STILL wouldn't surprise me.

goes to a Microsoft console and vice verca othere then that it'll never happen,just buy a 360 cause Ninja Gadien Sigma 2 will never come out,the only reason u guys got NG1 was because tecmo PUBLISHED IT NOT MICROSOFT,so it was their choice, it still took 3 years to port a game that's NOT m$ published 2 port.

"it still took 3 years to port a game that's NOT m$ published 2 port."
Ok. I'm gonna set the record straight for ANYONE else who wants to use this argument....
Ninja Gaiden came out on the Xbox in early 2004.
PS3 came out in LATE 2006. So yes it DID take 3 years to come out because the PS3 wasn't even around until 2 years AFTER the game came out!!!
Why people bring that "3 years after" argument
up now (when clearly doesn't apply to the current situation) is beyond me.
So anyway like I said before 2/ 2.5 years and counting.....

A: MS own Neither the name NOR the development teams that makes NG2 Right now they just happen to be footing the bill for its creation.
B: Anything could happen in the years to come and any of the "rules" that we THINK apply to who can port games to what system can change because NONE of us are industry insiders.
Now if it doesn't happen? Eh. My life will still go on but to say NEVER is foolish. Especially since all of this IS speculation.

just allow it to be ported to 360,u know what Ms will also allow the ps3 to get Gears Of War 1 cause they are that nice.I'm saying this because,the development team can't port a game 2 a competitor console w/o the consent of the publisher.That's why the ps3 didn't get gears the dev said it
themselves "we can't bring it 2
because we need m$ okay" which will never happen u idiots don't know what published mean? m$ own the ng2 ip it WON'T happen 360 won't get uncharted or LBP but it's possible if sony allows it can u fools PLEASE google published they co-own the rights 2 the game gosh!

Not to be mean but why the hell do you keep repeating yourself?? You typed the same thing like 4 times already. Back on topic your right they do sign an agreement, but it eventually runs out, which once that happens the developers of the game can choose if they want it to go multiplatform or just stay on 360 or PS3.
"man u ppl just won't give up,why would m$ fund a game 4 it to be ported to another console?"
Seriously man who the hell are you arguing with? Lmao no one is even saying anything fanboyish. The people up there are saying its possible and thats all. No one really knows if it will or not, so you should stop saying its NOT COMING blah blah blah.
"I should go around like u fools saying the 360 will get uncharted,KZ2 and LBP it could HAPPEN Sony is only funding(publish ing) they would"
You see with these games you named sony publishes AND the teams stay with sony. Tamco dont usually only develop for microsoft meaning that when there contract is over they might decide to make a PS3 version (or not).
and that was from your comment that you right under this one..

there's no chance.it might be possible on the ps5 but it would be an arcade dl n they would still need ms consent,and I don't think sony would ever do that ms would charge a bundle.also,tecmo have a strong realtionship with ms so they wouldn't ask there's no reason 2 port 2 ps3 even if tecmo was publishing the game will see well on xbox.ppl on this site
don't understand what publish mean they co own the ip cuz they pay for the development.it's only possible if ms give the go head I hope this end the questions no chance.

Also remember guys while yes MS is publishing it and right now its exclusive and probably not going to change, The main team of Team Ninja didn't even make NGS it was a completely different team no involvement with Team Ninja who does the 360 version.
So with that i don't really see it happening any time soon. And besides i rather see a Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 to be honest. I mean make the word Sigma a PS exclusive title. Just an idea but like i said i don't really see the PS3 getting this title and even if they do it wouldn't be big. I mean its like Bioshock coming to PS3, even if it does who would buy it. Not alot. And it wouldn't be big.

Perhaps if the NG series had switched to PS3 exclusivity, then it would feel special to you? ;)
