New Ninja Gaiden Sigma Info (April PSM)

The latest issue of PSM (April 2007) has a nice 10-page preview (and a featured cover ) on Ninja Gaiden Sigma with their own hands on experience with the game.  I just thought I'd point out some things :

• Unspecified amount of original content for Sigma
• EVERYTHING was redone for Sigma: backgrounds, enemies, characters, animations, textures, etc.
• Game will make use of the SIXAXIS in one way by helping to power up Ninpo magic while casting it
• Sigma will be 19 Chapters long, 3 more Chapters than the previous 2 versions
• A lot of the new stuff is when you are going to be playing as Rachel
• Will run at a constant 60 FPS with full self-shadowing and in 720p
• 3 ways to play - off the disk, off a partial install, or off a full install (for those who plan to play for long periods and don't want to worry about loads times.  They wanted to give the gamer a choice on the matter)
• New difficulty level above the previous ones
• Still talking to Sony about what the possibilites are for downloadable content
• Karma ranking system/online leaderboards will be intact
• Karma ranking/leaderboards will be improved upon by letting you view the results for a player's run through for specific chapters and how many times they died, etc.

Rachel Specific

• Features own integrated story missions and own mission mode levels
• Anything but a new skin for Hayabusa
• Completely separate arsenal of moves and all new animations
• Will have a different 'feel' from Hayabusa and will require a different way of thinking to play as compared to her counterpart
• Will still absorb essence and such as Hayabusa Zaku

Is a game I can buy for 20 dollars on another system worth 600?

Sure, why not. I bought a DS for SM64 and I could have bought the original for 5 bucks.

Why are you bringing up Animal Crossing of all games? Sigma for the PS3 is obviously going to be tons better than the original. Unless you like to settle for less that is. DaddyDC650

So much for the lemmings argument about NG Sigma being a port.

One lemming went as far as to post they played Sigma already....it was called NG Black.

Sure you could.

Please tell me how the new levels, new weapons, new moves for the old weapons, completely new difficulty, completely new character with their own side quest and reworked graphics from the ground up constitute 25%

I gotta see this   :lol:

So because YOU don't care for graphics it's 2%???

A whole new storyline with a previously non playable character with her own skill set is 7%

:lol::lol::lol:

Self ownage at it's finest.

Please keep posting. That way everyone in SW can get a good laugh  :lol:
