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

[-hellvin-]

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.

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 :/

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).

Keep in mind that if your FPS game is being played in HD with a regular ol' controller, that better be one pixel-perfect accuracy controller. If you have a mouse/keyboard setup with a console game, that's one thing...but in order to have that pixel-accurate targeting to shoot those baddies wayyyyyyyy in the distance you better be able to point at them exactly first.

Which...most likely...ain't gonna happen. So even FPS games, now that I think about it, won't benefit too much on console systems.

Eh, you must be sitting VERY close to your 37in. to notice anything.

I'm probably eight feet from the set on average. more than in range. There's a definite difference between 720p and 1080p. Actually, it's significant. I'd say it's more apparent in games that support it than movies. It eliminates a load of jaggies. NBA Street Homecourt is a great showcase piece.

Is it overrated? Yeah, probably. Is it naive to say it doesn't make any difference. Definitely.

That's not the whole picture. Being able to SEE where the enemies are coming from is an advantage. I can't recount the times playing even on a computer monitor at 1024x768 or higher resolution when I have swept the playing field looking for a single pixel changing in the distance.

Also, as somebody else noted, eliminating jaggies is always a good thing.

Although, to be honest, I'd rather trade off the extra resolution for 85 FPS or higher - in most cases.

Mr. Placebo, call on line 3.

Bump.

All right...who is buying this today? I will be picking it up sometime this morning. I'll actually be playing a PS3 game in my PS3...wow. Ninja Dog difficulty...here I come!

You know, a part of me keeps saying "Adam, you've already beaten this game three separate times. There is no way you need to buy it again."

But the little graphics whore in me says, "This is already a modern classic, and has brand new fancy textures in 1080p. This is the definitive version -- you must buy it!"

And... the graphics whore wins. I'll be picking this up afternoon during my lunch. The demo was great. It's not often I'm re-sold on a game thanks to demo, but this did it.

Only question: What is in the collector's edition? I ordered it to make sure I can snag it if I want. Is it going to be worth the extra $10?

Just read this from the beginning: Jebus that ShenmueFan was a little bitch. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say.

Now, on topic, this game sure does look pretty! Did they add any new content to the game?

[Anthony1]

Nevermind, I didn't notice that I've already chimed into this thread much ealier, lol.

[agbulls]

Anthony, I think the two of us are the only ones on the board that have been preaching that 1080p is a marketing bullshit ploy. I'm happy to see you haven't changed your mind.

I have a Sony KDF-e50A10 (3LCD 50") that does 720p and 1080i. There is a general assumption that higher numbers equal better performance. With electronics, this has been a rousing marketing and sales technique for years. Considering that most of the public isn't technically oriented, it makes perfect sense.

For example:
-Digital Cameras (higher megapixel, better quality, more $)
-Gaming consoles (8bit vs 16bit vs 32bit vs 64bit vs 128bit)

And this is exactly how HD TV has been marketed to the public. Just look:

480i < 480p < 720p < 1080i < 1080p "True HD"

And you know what? This time it's flat out wrong. It should look more like this:

480 < 480p < 720p = 1080i = 1080p

Bottom line? I could play Ninja Gaiden tonight in 1080i, but I'm chosing to play it in 720p out of pure personal preference.

there is the RACHEL mode play through the game as RACHEL, and three new bosses, that is all I know of.
