Team Ninja: no Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the Xbox 360 |
Ó
IGN reports that a Famitsu interview with Team Ninja's Tomonobu Itagaki reveals that despite the many requests, they have no plans of porting over Ninja Gaiden Sigma to Microsoft's Xbox 360.
It must be noted that Ninja Gaiden Sigma is mostly a remake of Ninja Gaiden Black for the original Xbox. Sigma contains additional stages, weapons, and even has a new playable character in the form of Rachel.
The reasoning behind the lack of a Xbox 360 port/version is that Sigma was supposedly created to bring the Ninja Gaiden experience to players who've only had Sony PlayStation consoles. In order to not disappoint the large Xbox fan-base, Itagaki does reassure that they will continue supporting the Xbox 360 platform, and that they still have plans for it. He expounds:
We're taking new challenges on the Nintendo DS, and the same is true for the Xbox 360. In order to respond to our fans' expectations, we're always making sequels and new games.
This means that Xbox 360 owners eager to get more stuff from Team Ninja need not have to get a PS3, they just have to wait. Ninja Gaiden Sigma should be out for the PS3 by July.

Its funny how they say *were always making sequels and new games* when the last THREE Ninja Gaiden games have pretty much been the same exact game with stuff like *now with 3 minutes of more CGI!* or *now you can play as Rachael!*...
Im not dissing the game(s) though, it was fun when I played it the first time on Xbox, they just need to stop tacking on tiny minute additions and reselling it for full price every year. With that said, Im skipping the PS3 version, but to those who arent then enjoy!
why wouldn't you port this over to X360 console?
are they afraid of earning more money than they would having it on just 1 console?
i think the reason is right on the article pal... or is it more fun for you to just blurt things out and make yourself look like an idiot rather than just read??? it's simple A, B, C... you should try it sometime.
I have a PS3 and this is on the marketplace as a demo. I played it the other day.. It is extremely boring. Looks pretty gooid, but its the same crap over and over.. The camera controls were driving me crazy.. I won't be buying it for the PS3 either.
NG sucks big sausage. I mean xbox version sucks as much as hillary clinton on bill sausage. NG will always, its just a spin off of what dmc and onimusha did. Its a shame why cant team ninja get some damn originality. Hell if you lame ppl want to play men kissing, sword playing, mask wearing little faeries than be my guess everything about that game is tragedy. I mean the game sucks there all the same in one way shape or form. adding BS like add-ons and such is very stupid. They need help and so does the homosexual ninja's in that game. They hump ninjas more than rabbits having intercourse.
I agree I played the demo and its terrible the camera is just wrong, I think its more to do with the LACK of sales it will have if they release it on the 360 and it will make it look bad as what it really is at the moment.
the only other ninja gaiden i had played was for like the snes, but i think the demo super fun.
You do realize NG cant be a DMC ripoff since NG came first (NES) right? Let me guess, you had the Xbox version and the game was too hard for you so instead of challenging yourself you decide to say the game sucks and give up? NG was one of my favorite Xbox games BECAUSE it was so challenging, people like you make me laugh.
I also dont know where you get all the homosexual views (men kissing? humping?),
but Im guessing thats your own wishful thinking coming out.
do u realise how old NG franchise is? lol
The full game is a lot better than what the demo offers. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes a hard challenging game. The only reason I wont be getting it is because Ive already played it on Xbox. If they were to make a new NG then I would most definately purchase it.
What you said i mostly agree with but it's really good for me because i don't have an xbox 360 and have only played a little of the first one i have a ps3 so it is alot of goodness
Itagaki is NOT the one who made Sigma you moron, a person on his team did. Itagaki is working on new games. Itagaki made Ninja Gaiden Black, to make all the content accessible to the ppl who did NOT have access to xboxlive...
Quixxand youre a moron, the camera is almost hands down considered the best camera in 3D action gaming, you simply suck. And lack of sales??? Only simply because it is a REMAKE of a game xbox owners already PLAYED, AND Itagaki isnt even WORKING on the game. Someone else is. Itagaki is working on NG2 and Chronus..
Black was made for the hardcore fans.....who masochistically wanted an even harder version of Ninja Gaiden....not just to make more money...
When it comes to the xbox platform, black has been the only slight re-hash....everything else has and will be new IP's (DOAX) or sequels (another DOA and Ninja Gaiden 2)
Itagaki is the man....and probably one of the coolest game dev's around....
Grabbing your secretaries ass FTW !
There’re 2 types of NEXT-GEN games: brand-new games and heavily-updated games.
* Brand-new
- There’re no relationships between the predecessors and the new title (made from scratch, built from the ground up).
- These titles have the capability to use most potential power of the systems (consoles).
- These titles look spectacular and fantastic in the graphics, sound effects, physics, and technology departments.
- Gears of War (UE 3.0), Resident Evil 5 (New Proprietary Engine - NPE), Final Fantasy 13 (White Engine), Haze (NPE), MotorStorm (NPE), Ratchet & Clank Future (NPE), Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (NPE), Crysis (CryEngine 2.0), Grand Theft Auto 4 (Rage Engine), Killzone 2 (NPE)
* Heavily-updated
- Literally, these games were made by updating the former games.
- Can’t overcome technical limitations (restrictions).
- These titles can use only small amount of power of the systems due to many reasons (optimization, efficiency of architecture in terms of hardware and software, et cetera)
- These games can’t impress the gamers.
- Halo 3, Armored Core 4, Tony Hawk Skate series, etc
Unreal Engine 2.5 was used to make Unreal Tournament 2004. UE 2.5 includes Karma Physics engine. Then Epic totally renovated (modified) UE 2.5 to make UE 3.0. Since UE 3.0 is extremely different from UE 2.5, UE 3.0 is classified as a brand-new engine (i.e.: UE 3.0 has Havok Physic 4.5 engine).
Halo 3 is an updated version of Halo 2 which was released in 2004 by using Renderware Engine (by choosing this updating-method, the developers can save huge amount of development time and budget).
In a report, it says Gears of War’s 90% is based on DirectX 9 tech (10% is DX10 tech); based on this factual data, the specialist (writer) assumed that Halo 3’s 98% is based on DX 9 tech. DX10 gameplay means: perfectly breakable buildings and vegetation (shoot at any parts of a building, then those parts must be penetrated realistically like in Crysis), perfectly deformable objects (in Gran Turismo 5, every inch of the car is perfectly deformed), soft shadows, 100% real facial-animation (Bungie never have to worry about this tech since we can’t see Spartans’ faces, LOL), depth-of-field, motion blur, etc. Crapalo 3 doesn’t have any of the above DX10 gameplay elements.
Halo 3’s beta footages look mediocre. There're beta footages of Gears of War and Resistance available online, unless you are blind and illiterate, you must announce the fact that beta builds look 95% same as the final (retail) versions.
Halo 3 (Bungie), Perfect Dark Crap (Rare), and Shadowcrap (FASA’s Shadowrun got the average review score of 65/100) have extremely similar graphical qualities and artistic design. I’ll educate you on this matter. The developers of all these games are owned by Microsoft. These developers share all kinds of techs which are used to make X360 games (DX 10 based, not OpenGL 2.x based).
Killzone 2 is being made by Guerrilla which is a subsidiary of Sony; it has 130 employees (programmers and graphics designers). The total budget for KZ2 is $60 million (just for your reference and ignorance, Epic spent $9 M to make Gears of War with 80 devs). Also KZ2 is in Guinness Book 2007 as the most expensive video game in the entire gaming history.
In 2005, Guerrilla hired 50 programmers and designers ONLY from AAA-level companies around the world; these new developers are the CORE-brains behind KZ2.
Killzone 2’s actual gameplay footage (pre-alpha build) was shown to journalists at GDC 2007 expo behind closed doors. These journalists said in news articles ~
- KZ2 is both graphically (lighting, shadows, mind-blowing sky, river) and technologically extremely advanced.
- It was like watching Next-gen Black 2 and Half Life 3 combined together (we now know what kind of shooter KZ2 is). Everything which was hit by bullets and missiles were penetrated.
- The characters (soldiers), indoor and outdoor environments are extremely detailed and gorgeous.
- The sound effects were blowing away the audience.
more profit for team ninja. Because japan loves playstation a lot more than xbox. xbox seems to non exist in the stores. xbox owners said it was too hard doggy. plus its going to look better than lame xbox. poor sales for dead or alive 4 sales including dead or alive extreme beach volley ball. how cool would it be if i chop off your nipples and head into tiny samurai pieces. lol bite my shiny metal ass.
AoxomomoxoA we don't care GoW best game on market we didn't see kill zone(gameplay) yet n halo 3 has good graphix ,sony is jus sum big liars remember E3 2005? still aint see games that look like that.
u'r a moron how old are u? dmc is a new franchise compared with ng.... u probably begged your mom to buy the game but she wouldn't buy it for you and now u'r taking it out on the game
i would way rather buy halo 3 instead of killzone2 if it was on ps3.oh well ill wait 4 mgs4
idiot, hello what does 'GoW' stand for, errrrr. if your going to talk about a game than you must type original name first instead of the initial. It could stand for god of war or gear of war. douche
I don't see the big deal. PS3 users still aren't getting the flagship titles and probably never will because of Team Ninja's grounding in the 360. Remember that Sigma is a small branch of the franchise and there is no indication that the team will devote much more to the PS3.
yeah ppls halo is crap i mean its not dat bad but da hype made it bad people on da net where saying its da best fps when it was an avrage game + avrage story + avrage graphics = avrage crap(most said its above avrage)
what do you xbots need sigma for?
just pop in your NG black unto your xbox 360 and upscale it.
its the same game!
Your article you wrote in your free time about how Halo 3 sucks even though I've heard otherwise from every other major reviewing site blew my mind. I'm trading in my weak XBOX 360 and getting a true next gen PS3 right away!
My ass.
Do you have a life? Is it your sworn duty in your pathetic life to make up lies disguised as well written articles to hopefully (for you) encourage PS3 sales? Feel free to insert any opinion you have on your mind in your "well written" article. Admit it, you either A. work for sony or guerrilla or B. you are a pathetic loser with no life.
The PS3 will ultimately be considered a failure, and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it.
The only reason they came out with the same 3 year old Ninja Gaiden finally on the PS3 is because it needs games, it was never on the PS2, and most importantly, it was cheap to port!
Halo must be an awesome game when people are talking about it in a discussion about ninjas....
Because they are big babies who want to cry and complain about everything. (Wahh, I already can play Black but I want it because PS3 is getting it) Losers.
Everyone keeps knocking off halo 3 but the truth is, its got so much hype behind it that its going to kill every game this year interms of sales. Your absolutely right, People start talking about halo 3 in the paper mario threads and in the ninja threads... now thats big.
I was with you fantard till that last statement it's too early for that. After this Christmas soo many people are going to have a ps3 (4-5 million, I'm guessing). That will be enough to make it worth it for developers to make use of the extra space they have on a blu-ray disc. Which will lead to people who own both consoles to buy the ps3 game just for the extras, much like people who owned both xbox and ps2 usually bought the xbox version. I think this gen may be even until the choice to use dvd9 comes back to haunt M$, but that won't be for another 3 years, when they convince you you need a new xbox with better graphics, and a new, much the same, halo.
Are you serious. First of all the stealing someone's name thing has been done before, pretty weak. Secondly you could do better right, I mean you're supposed to spout some crazy ***** like, "the reason i love the ps3 is because we get 3 year old ports of average games." If you're going to impersonate someone at least put some effort into it. Loser.
Its a shame that you guys are what you play and that is faeries. But this has nothing to do with challenge. Quite frankly NG wasnt even challenging. I beat that crap with ease. And u didnt own it but i played it at my friends house.
BTW NG wasnt the same when it was on nintendo cause i played that. Maybe you guys have no idea what makes games challenging. Cause DMC3 the original version was so more challenging that that crap. Besides very NG game is the same, except some BS add ons. trust me when i say its a ripoff. cause it was a nintendo game not xbox game. They took that game to compete with sony like halo and look how good that turned out. Halo didnt even help xbox beat sony the first time, let alone NG. What makes xbox fanboys think it will have an impact this time. I tell ya if xbox fanboys learned some facts fans of sony would have problems against ppl like you.
Damn, if you say "da" again i'm going to kill myself.
We all know halo 3 is gonna sell more copies then killzone,killzo ne is dis wack shooter dats gonna flop n halo will be the highest selling game of this year n tha next ppl will buy 360s just becuz of halo so stop hatin n watch movies on ya gaystation 3 cuz u aint got no games 2 play.
your as lame as your statement. Sony ps3 as said a few days ago, is a giant waiting to be fully awakened. And if i was you i wouldnt be saying sony are liars. So what big deal sony has a slow start, X360 had the same start, If you recall. and guess what after a year some good titles came and they were doing great. Same thing will happen for sony. And when that happens the games will take some good power from the cell and six axis controls. BTW spell out gears of war cause GOW stands for God of war.
Hey stop taking my name ball licker.
The fact stands xbox sucks. I mean NG was very easy on xbox maybe now ps3 will get the challenging one. Your the one talking major smack right now.
Man just shut up, i mean who cares if he uses da, unless your to stupid to understand what he's trying to say.
Anyway, i agree with this guy, halo just takes what other defining RPS done b4 them. And the fact that it only has some cool add ons doesnt help. Halo was mediocre and and have average story with gameplay. Graphics wasnt even that good. And the ending OMFG was the worst, i have seen better ending in mario than that piece of crap.
What are you talking about, halo is the worst game ever made. I mean halo is suppose to be the "Sony killer" And yet Halo 1 and 2 couldnt even beat sony, what makes you think its going to sell and beat sony this time. My guess its going to sell but not beat sony. After all history knows all lol
Sony aint nobody what you need to do is shut your ***** ass up
You're unregistered and you used the term "ball licker" , You are not Datnizzle. I'm a Sony fan, but I could care less about this game, the demo was boring, and it;s not like it's a one-of-a-kind game omnimusha, devil may cry all are very similar. Add to the fact that this game is 2-3 years old, I don't see the big deal, sorry. PSN ID: Datnizzle EASports ID: Datnizzle now canceled xbox live ID: Datnizzle I repeat get your own name.
i suggest you get your own cause this is mine forever. The fact that dmc is a big hit and NG isnt should tell ya which one is the best. And you dont see to grasp the concept that dmc and onimusha came out long b4 NG for xbox.
And why arent you happy that there is a NG on the ps3, i mean i personally thought it sucked on xbox. And if this one sell like hot cakes it may change my view. Just remember another game to help sony.
Um i dont think your in any position to say halo beat sony when first off halo 3 hasnt come out yet.
second off halo 1 and 2 didnt even beat ps2 so why think its going to beat sony.
i mean sure its going to sell but if history says anything is sony shouldnt even be worried about halo. Since it didnt beat them b4 it shouldnt beat them now. And im not going shut my mouth how about you, and since your unregistered i think your a joke in this site.
"until the choice to use dvd9 comes back to haunt M$, but that won't be for another 3 years"
??? But that would only prove DVD9 was not a problem this gen!!!
The 360 has been out for 1 year and 7 months, so in 3 years, the 360 would have been in the market for over 4.5 years, by which time we would be getting ready for the NEXT generation of consoles (5-6 years).
So how would 4-5 years of NO problems with the choice of DVD9 for the 360 come back to haunt them? ;)
