Introduction
Since the release of the PS3 and 360, a war has begun among gamers. The war is to see what games are better on which console. This is known by many as the “console war”. Many of you have most likely spent time watching comparison movies between a multi-platform game to see which version looks and plays better. Gamers are always curious to see which version is the best of the two, and to see if one of the versions is a crappy port or a balanced multi-plat game.
An obvious example of an average port was Ninja Gaiden Sigma
While the game was a blast to play and easily one of the best hack and slash games on the PS3, it was easy for gamers to see that it was a port that could have been so much better. The game graphically did not look nearly as good as it could have on the PS3 hardware. It has been proven time and time again that the PS3 hardware is capable of so much more than what was put into Ninja Gaiden Sigma.
Will Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 be more than just a port
Will Team Ninja and Tecmo actually put the time and effort into this game that it deserves? While the game will be good due to it’s great gameplay and intriguing story, it could be so much better if they take their time to make it a “true” PS3 exclusive.
Why would it be better on the PS3?
Sony has proven with their first-party titles that technologically the PS3 is a superior piece of hardware than the 360. This is no knock on the 360, but games like Killzone 2, Uncharted, and Heavenly Sword have proven this. If they do take advantage of the Cell technology and space on the Blu-Ray disc they could make a must own PS3 exclusive.
With God of War III most likely being a 2010 release the PS3 needs a good action game, a game like Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. After seeing the mistakes, they’ve made on Ninja Gaiden 2 for the Xbox 360 the guys at Team Ninja can improve on the game with Sigma 2.
They’ve already announced new features such as…
Online CO-OP and new playable characters. This shows that they want to make this game it’s own game and not just a port. Now will they do more than just add some new features, or will they be content at stopping right there?
Hopefully they put the time and effort into this game needed to make it a true PS3 exclusive. Use the technology at their hands and not just half-ass it. Now wouldn’t that be, nice?
