Given the poor sales of the 360 version - I'm at a loss as to why they are even bothering to release this on PS3.

Loved the first on the xbox but the second was complete pants.

So it's basically doing what Sigma did?

720p and heavy depth of field for the close up camera for finishing moves.

lack of AA seems to be an annoying problem for ps3 games, but I can't say anything until I play a demo

after playing halo 3 alot the jagges are really annoying

also NG2 sold over a million in just a little over months after release

Just noticed Eurogamer Networks is listed as a client on the digitalfoundry.org site

does that mean EG pay DF for these articles?

If not, in what respect are EG 'clients'?

Personally, I generally prefer games without AA turned on, so I'm not fussed when it's missing on either machine.

Completely agree that II was sh*t compared to the first, however, I think there is a lingering hope for fans that Sigma II will essentially fix aspects that were wrong with the game. If they can sort the balance, the flaws and add some unlockables (see: not premium download content costumes!) then I'll definitely give NGII another purchase on the PS3.

The fans bought it the first time. Why the hell should they have to buy it a second time to get it fixed.

No, Namco/Team Ninja can shove it up their useless behinds, and smile while doing it. Fucking useless.

I've just seen that Public Enemies. That is definitely running at 1080p. Can we have some sort of video analysis, Rich? I wasn't too sure about the anti-aliasing on some of Johnny Depp's pockmarks.

Because PS3 owners are going to get the BETTER version of it, Xbots are complaining that because of low sales on their shitty version, that doesnt mean that ps3 sales will be the same....sigh get out of here xbot fanboys

The problem I had with NG2 is that it was just plain unfair in places rather than a calculated hardness. NG1 is one of my fave xbox games but I found this crushingly disappointing...

Yeah, Ninja Gaiden 2 had some problems on the 360, but Sigma 2 looks like an improved game in many areas. Ninja Gaiden Sigma and NG Sigma 2 are definitely the versions to get if you like the Ninja Gaiden franchise.

Probably not aimed at you, then:)

Plenty of people ARE interested in the technical aspects of games.

IMO a sub-720p resolution plus 2X AA is far more preferable to 720p with NO AA. It's the reason I think Oblivion still looks that bit nicer visually on the Xbox 360 (sub-720p with AA) than the PS3 (720p with no AA) for example as the latter is noticeably jaggy in places where the 360 version isn't.

Those NG Sigma 2 screenshots might look fine without AA now but that's because they're both dark which helps mask the jaggies. Just wait until the game shifts to daylight though...

P.S. Ninja Gaiden Sigma was a jagfest on the PS3 even at 1080p (which added lots of screen tear too). I personally preferred playing NG Black on the Xbox 360 where it is upscaled to 720p with AA. That's just me though.

it didn't look much like they've been fixing the problems from the EG videos: still getting bedevilled by off-screen flaming arrows etc.

More to the point, I'd imagine the average PS3 owner would rather swap a few resolution points for bloody eviscerations, rather than the gutless purple clouds of flatulence.

No AA? Eww. I'll take the cleaner and gorier NG2. This is too jaggie and sterile.

I have both NHII and NGIIS, lot of crap fanboys on here talking rubbish. The framerate in NGSII is better as well.....And no annoyingspamming missiles.

Spew out any old crap about jaggies or anything to justify the fact cant afford 2 consoles and mine is better cos its all I can afford.
