Awesome news!

 

NG2 was the only game making me want to buy a 360, but I was hoping this would happen. With MGS4, NG2 Sigma, Uncharted and God of War 3, I'm glad I got a PS3.

 

Although that Ninja Blade game looks pretty cool for 360.....damnit.

 

I'm with you Mes, A MAN GAME!

[Llyranor]

Ninja Blade does NOT look cool, stop smoking that Hades.

 

I'll probably double-dip here for the online co-op.

[J.E. Sawyer]

As long as they fix the framerate and camera issues, I'm down.

[Llyranor]

Apparently the camera is being worked on. Though I never really had any major issues with it once I started using the camera reset semi-regularly.

 

I wouldn't mind if they rebalanced the harder difficulties with respect to projectile spam.

[Azure79]

Ninja Blade does too look cool. I mean the game is called Ninja Blade. That's cool in itself! The only way it would sound cooler would be to change it to: Ninja Blade: Pirate Storm.

So Sigma 2 is a tweaked NG 2?

[Musopticon?]

Yeah, just like Sigma 1 was a tweaked NG Black.

 

*wishes for NG 2 Black*

 

THough with Itagaki leaving the team probably wishes to do something different once again. I heard the guy could be a right yutz when in development. He's also the idiot to blame for the set-piece kind of world, a mission pipe if you like, we had in NG 2 instead of the relatively open world of NG Black. I think Black is still the superior game, it's fighting system made more sense(everything is breakable or has a counter no matter how freaking massive a blow*) freeroaming was supported somewhat and you had a hub which gave the world a consistent feel.

 

On the other hand though, NG 2 has a lot more varied and deeper weapons, infinitely more interesting enemies, tons of "ooh" and "aah" parts, better autosaves by far, better soundtrack, somewhat more interesting locales** and other small things.

 

*except the red dragon monsters

**I mean, c'mon...an army warehouse vs a burning ninja castle?

[Llyranor]

Well, at least there the burning ninja castle didn't have awkward archery battles with awful awful NGB controls against tanks and helicopters.

[Musopticon?]

I hated the freaking army warehouse, worst part of NGB. NG2 had a "nice" rehash of what made that level fail with the almost as annoying Submit or Die chapter: Landmines, bazookadudes with landmines, bazookadudes with landmines aided by dudes with grenade launchers, etc. Not to mention the battle at the dockside in the jungle level, urhg.

[Llyranor]

You know those explosive shuriken and multi-rocket launchers? You get those in chapter 1 on Mentor >

[J.E. Sawyer]

"Burning ninja castle" is something of a trope these days.

[Musopticon?]

You know those explosive shuriken and multi-rocket launchers? You get those in chapter 1 on Mentor >

Yes, I've seen how it is on Master.

 

I wouldn't dare.
