Ninja Gaiden Sigma for PS3 runs in 1080p and 60FPS?

[jajaja]

From a technical aspect, Ninja Gaiden Sigma looks about as sharp as we figure games can get. Every texture in the game has been reworked for the PlayStation 3, and a number of other effects have been added to spice things up, like self-shadowing and so forth. Some creatures now shine with ooze, while others emit clouds of something as they scurry about the battlefield. Tecmo said that it has just recently managed to implement full 1080p support into the game, and at a full 60fps to boot. Yes, this is one slick-looking title.

Looks great. Is sigma a super remake of black?

[agbulls]

Yup. I read that entire article. I can't even stress how excited I am to pick this up and I've beaten the original and played Black for many hours. The weird thing is that Team Ninja said in their last article (on 1up) that they had determined that the optimal resolution was 720p to get the best experience on the PS3. I'm assuming they were able to get even more than they expected out of the system and now can pump out full 1080p. This is incredibly exciting.

I welcome Team Ninja refining Ninja Gaiden to the point of perfection. There aren't many games that deserve this type of treatment--this is one that does. Interestingly enough, I've been thinking about God of War vs Ninja Gaiden (since I'm playing GOW II).

Even though I really love the story, backgrounds, character design and scope of God of War II I can't help but feel that Ninja Gaiden is a better overall action game. There are times in God of War when I'm trying (desperately) to pull out some "complicated" combos. But, it just doesn't work---the game isn't designed for that. Its fantastic--beyond fantastic---but just not designed for that. What is?

Ninja Gaiden. Everyone who plays Gaiden plays it differently and uses the combo system in their own unique way to create a totally individualized playing experience. That is truly truly unique.

Who cares.

How many people own 1080p capable tvs anyway?

Besides, as long as a game is at 30fps, the graphics are good enough.

In fact, making visuals "too slick" can make them look phony, in my opinion.

Who cares.

The people who own 1800p capable sets.

They're really come down in price, so I'm sure 1080p sets are slowly moving into homes. It may not be a huge difference now, but it's an easy selling point.

But it doesn't add anything to gameplay.

People who play in 1080i aren't going to say, "Oh my God! I can't play this stupid game! If only I didn't have this damned interlacing!"


...and they're really NOT coming down in price. Until you can get a 1080p TV for less than $500, no one's gonna care.

I mean, what's next? Pong at 1080p? Oh my God --- gotta have that!

I think the only thing to say here is I'm sorry. I'm sorry you can't afford an HDTV. If you could, you'd be just as excited as those of us who own one.

But it doesn't add anything to gameplay.

That's what I say! I always press that minus key in DOOM to get the screen as small as possible.

Really.

I have to agree with you on this one, but in other titles more resolution will be a real selling point (take FPSes with long view distances / fine sight adjustment).

[PS2Hawk]

I have to say that this will be an awesome addition to PS3 with devil may cry going multiplatform I think now we can compared how both games rack up! however I would ask you

DO YOU THINK THIS IS A CHALLENGE TO CAPCOM ? BECAUSE DMC4 AIN'T GONNA BE 1080P! and Team Ninja is all about squeezing every bit of power out of a system by the time they ship their product..

I dunno...I kinda disagree. I think 90% of my moves in Gaiden were Izuna Drop.

It was nice knowing that you could switch it up, though (and I often did, even though I'm no good at it). Unlike, say, Prince of Persia on the PS2/etc., where my most used moves were the back run and the wall kick :/
