A graphical comparison of the new PS3 version of Tecmo’s breast physics engine Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 to the Xbox 360 original reveals the PS3 version to be spectacularly superior to the Xbox 360 version, just as some had suspected.
Xbox 360 screens are above those of the PS3 version:
Whether this is a case of Tecmo not bothering with the Xbox 360 version, or, as many will doubtless like to claim, the PS3′s capabilities being superior to those of the Xbox 360, is an interesting question.
It might be wondered why they do not highlight this rather spectacular difference in their marketing efforts…
The game is due worldwide October/September.

Even thou I've been a console gamer since the 80's, I have to say, put this on a PC powered by a mid-range or top end video card, and it will consistently look better than any console. e.g. SF4, GTA VC, SA & 4, among others.
Just add in an XBox 360 controller, cheaper prices on the games, portability if you have the $$$ for a gaming notebook...etc, etc.
how much does a top end video card w/ complete tower cost? how much does a ps3/xbox cost?
Depends on the deal you got, newegg offers some deals with video card and (good ones) LCD combos sometimes, which is 300 or so.
Also you can get a upper tier card (8800GT, 9800GT, GTS250) for 75, 90, to 110ish USD.
You can get a gaming grade PC with HDMI out for like 380 (especially with the motherboard, cpu, and ram combos on newegg).
Plus you can do more than just game on a PC, like work?
Plus PS3 doesn't have OS mode anymore, so don't try to pull that computer stuff other than horrible web browsing.
Hi, I'm a PS3, and I'm sick of this "my system is superior" crap. Let's be honest. The only reason either system's version looks better is because the makers put more effort into one version than the other or didn't know how to use one system's hardware better than the other. The PS3 version looks better, not because of superiority, but because like many XBOX360 exclusives, their version was a hastily acquired beta test.
On another note, PS3 is the better of the 2 systems solely for the fact that its owner's don't have to buy a new one every few months or send out to have their repaired several times a year. Reliability is HUGE when the consoles are so similar.
question......
is there gore on this version for ps3???
My goodness, this topic stinks just as bad as fanboys. Can someone spray some Febreeze in the room, you guys are making my ayes water from your fanboy stench. No wonder booth babes hate their jobs, you guys smell.
wtf did they take out the gore?, that makes the game look better
Aside from fanboy faggotry, is it really all that big of a surprise that a re-made game looks better? You could re-make a game on the same system and it would look better. It's called progress.
shiny ninjas are gay ninjas.
also ayane looks like a pig in the 360 but the ninjas looks cooler in the 360. i choose ayane.
This kind of comparison can go on & on. I have PS3 only, so my decision is to get it if the PS3 version is good, doesn't matter to me how the 360 version is, coz I'm not going to buy a 360 for just this game. If theirs is better, good for them, my decision is whether it is acceptable on PS3.
Well, if nothing else, it seems they're consistent about that PS2-looking hair.
With 2 extra years in developement,...It better look better! All I'm saying is this game is two years old. If you're just playing this game, you are late for the party!
Wow, they really differ LOTS, while PS3 looks really good, the Xbochs looks really shitty compared to PS3 xD
I don't really give a shit about the graphics, I just hope it plays good and that it's fun.
i alwys knew that the new chairman of team ninja will rock, PS3 FTW!!!!
Then the next, Itagaki-free Ninja Gaiden rolls in, it sucks balls, and everyone goes to buy the new game he's developing, which will probably be a Xbox 360 exclusive since the man knows his shit, just like Kamiya (the Bayonetta dude, FYI).
And everybody wins. Lol.
there is no Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 on Xbox 360...only ps3
fake
Sir, you are a FUCKING IDIOT. Get off the Internet and don't come back until you grow pubes and a brain.
there is only Sinja Gaide 2 on xbox, not sigma.... was published half a year ago...of course now PS3 version looks better, it would be stupid not to update graphics... go fuck yourself, you moron
sorry...not half a yer....more than a year...
tear of your arm, pour out gas all over and burn
A retard who doesn't catch the joke D:
yeap, very funny,hahaha my stomach
Owner of both Consoles Win. I got PS3 but Dynasty Warriors 6 and Virtua Fighter 5 are better on Xbox 360 then PS3 so i will rather buy it for Xbox.
everyone knows that graphics don't make the game. if "the PS3’s capabilities being superior to those of the Xbox 360" just like this website claims. how come the sales in consoles have been low? or an even better question, how come xbox has an average of 7.1 games sold per console, versus 3.0 on the ps3?
once again, this site tries to belittle xbox.
RRoD 360 BETA TESTERS FAGS SURE GOT TOLD.
Are you posting this stupid crap on every single PS3 blowjob post Arte does, or what?
BUTTHURT RRoD 360 BETA TESTER FAG SURE IS BUTTHURT.
*Yawnn..*
Meh, the ps3 version is missing the blood. So it's not as cool looking.
Also, another fanboy ps3 post on Sankaku. -_-
The blood is still there only less of it (You know, more realistic).
PS3 = WINS
360 = Enjoy the red light of death
Dear all fanboys,
STFU.
Sincerely,
Other readers.
The breasts alone made the PS3 version better then the 360 :p
It goes back and forth, one game looks better on the PS3 but plays better ion the 360 and vice versa, on and on, and on,......I tried both versions of Wet and the 360 versions clearly looks better(better frame rate), with gameplay also slightly better.The PS3 has games that are better on it to.Comparing games from system to system and getting heated up about it is something for the witless,immature, and fanboys.I have both systems and love them both for what they both offer.You won't catch me on Wii boards flaming Wii owners about how superior my 360/PS3's and their games are to the Wii's however.
Except Wet was shitty to begin with?
NINTENDO IS GONNA WIN WHEN IT COMES OUT IN HD
of course you have to consider PS3s already better graphics engine IMO
Screenshot 1: PS3 version lacks depth of field effect. 360 wins.
2: Boobs are far bigger in 360 version.
3: Ryo has weird arms and eyes in PS3 version. WTF?!
4: PS3 version suffers from jaggies.
5: Jaggies on PS3 due to shiny plastic-wrap lighting. I thought PS3 owners hated these kind of effects?
6: Lots more jaggies on PS3 yet again.
7: Pictures 1 to 6 rendered null and void. PS3 wins!
But seriously, no technical superiority has been demonstrated here. The PS3 shots are mainly just high contrast versions of the 360 ones, and the smaller details usually go in the 360's favour.
Neither one of them has very good graphics.
letter from an honest man,
as previously stated(but sadly only once or twice), an intelligent person, who doesnt let their fanboy status for any console numb their judgement, would own both consoles or at least recognize the ups and downs of all systems..PS3: at the end of the day is "capable" of putting on the big show for gamers, sadly,.. it rarely HAS. 360: lots of great games that no one else has, but it isnt as bright and colorful.. even the richness of dark colors is better on the PS3.. but again in an honest intelligent persons mind this is called balance and what makes gives the market a place to grow.. no competition leads to lazy development standards.
also note neither system has samus, mario or link.
final note. 14 months(give or take) had best make a prettier game.. console doesnt come into this.. would the 360 be capable of all the changes no.. many yes. ultimately who cares. buy what YOU want and let the rest of us enjoy what we want.
PS. bouncing tits hardly makes a game any better. it might do something for a real girl.. but not a game
Man, I disagree with you. Owning both systems is not always possible for ALL. Especially under these economic circumstances. Next, the pros and cons you gave are, in all honesty, dumb.
Why? Sure, the PS3 does put on a pretty show, and there ARE games for it. The 360 DOES have a wider range, but there are also loads of crap. Kameo anyone? 99 Nights? Oh, guess what. That's subjective, so that doesn't even matter. What about the reliability of the systems? the PS3 is clearly more reliable, versus the 360's laughable life expectancy. And that's proven.
Getting back to the economic limitations, in these times, WHY bother worrying about which system has more games? Just concentrate on getting the ones YOU like.
And why the fuck would some people (like me) care about Mario, Link and Samus? They are NOT equal to "TEH BESTEST GAEMS EVAR".
Those arguments you gave are shallow. We should just worry about WHICH system is the correct one for our interests. Fucking period.
you people should get blind in the next few years.
seriously, why is bloom effect so important nowadays?
Whats with all the bloom effects?
wow pretty galz get chained xD
this is unfair 2 different games xbox came out a year before. ps3 has frame jumps anyways xbox doesnt
amm ps3
Wow, the pleasefixme got its ass kicked all up and down the block. The 360 looks better because the lighting is worse, textures are flatter and there's a lower polygon count as well as lower resolution? Do you morons actually hear yourselves? Bwaaa haa haaa go home and cry little xbot fangirls, your console is already out dated.
They are not. God damnit Japanese developers admitted the only reason the do XBOX exclusives for a year is because Microsoft gives tham a lot of money. They then admit to, after a year, port the games to PS3 with a LOT more extras, revamped graphics and so on. Look it up, it's on an interwiev with a developer.
Who cares anout the graphics? As long as a game has good gameplay, I'll play it. That's why people still play old SNES and Genesis games.
do I want black armor or black shining armor... hmmm
Okay, fanboys just need to shut up. I have the 360 version and will be getting the PS3 version as well. There are differences, but who cares, it'll be fun on which ever platform. Oh and the 360 version is better, we get blood. But then again PS3 less blood but more boobs.
TREY 4 LIFE!
stop posting articles on subjects you are completely ignorant about
I like the "spectacularly superior" line, particularly since the differences seem to be the addition of trite bloom lighting and... err, Ayane's face (which has already been covered, hence old "news").
The difference is really huge here, will be getting NGS2 for sure, played the demo and it's as awesome as NG2 on the 360.
Plus it has mission mode (online/offline co-op). The demo has it and it's really awesome (too bad only offline co-op in the demo though).
Hardly any dynamic lighting, no shadows, no dynamic contrast filter, no distance blur, the textures look almost the same. The xbox360 can do these things so why were they removed.
PS3 is way better. Ayane no longer has hippo lips.
PS3 owner here, but I still think it's apples and oranges. :-\
I prefer the look of the Xbox version. The PS3 version just has shiny reflections on everything and is blurry as fuck. The PS3 version looks like someone ran it through the Colorize function in photoshop, while the Xbox version is crisp and clear.
This game is old, I played it two years ago!
Ugh, enough with the damn game articles. Jesus.
Anyone else getting tired of these console comparison articles?
Everyone but Tecmo forgot about MS ripoff Ninja Gaiden Sigma want to be. I think they really don't care what it looks like on Xbox if their gonna remake Tecmo games as XBox games. Ninja Gaiden was looking to stay with Xbox until them. LOL
i have 360. ayane is better in ps3. but 360 version is free.
so shitty console but free games, i'm staying with 360 for now.
are you on crack or something?
Not a huge difference in terms of graphics. Lighting looks better but if you look at proper screenshots from the 360 version, you can see it's not anywhere near as dark as those screens provided here.
Ayame is the real difference. The 360 version stayed consistant with how she looked from the original while the PS3 version goes with her updated appearance from the latest DOA.
Even so, this is another 1 year old port with a few added features. Worth another purchase? Depends how much you like the series. I for one had my fill last year.
"the PS3’s capabilities being superior to those of the Xbox 360"
One or two years of additional development on the successful Xbox 360 release are more than enough for artificially tinkering and boosting the bound-to-be-considerably-less-popular PS3 release.
Anyway, we still have to see if they cut off those ugly mid-level loading times of the original Sigma (absolutely absent in both of the original Xbox releases), and if they actually care to reincorporate those awesome blood gushes, as of now removed from the inferior and terribly late PS3 release: http://images.eurogamer.net/assets/articles//a/8/3/2/6/1/ng2_e01_tif_jpgcopy.jpg.jpg
And just wait for Digital Foundry's native resolution comparison, that one'll be a whole new can o' worms, hehe...
lol at the 5th comparison. really...did you guys switch it up just to make it look like ps3 own 100%. i don't think so. obviously these 2 were swapped
How's that superior? They just turned the bloom effects up to the max on the PS3 version.
More like a case of knowing your audience.
That said, it's unlikely that any Ninja Gaiden game will ever top the original Ninja Gaiden Black.
It's superior because fanboys love to look at any difference and say it's better.
Man, look at all these graphics experts engaged in constructive discourse. It's great how we're coming to a firm conclusion as to which one is of better quality. Objective comparison at its finest, really.
Here's my amateur opinion: If I were to play the game on either console without making a side-by-side comparison, I probably wouldn't have realized that they looked any different.
This is the truth no matter what most of the people here will claim.
The PS3 SHOULD look better. It's gonna be released more than a year later than the original after all. It would be retarded if it didn't look better.
totally agree with you
Isn't this just Tecmo fanboyism towards the PS3? PS3 and Tecmo are both Japanese, and the Xbox 360 is not very popular there so maybe they purposely made the PS3 version look better.
What the hell are you talking about man? Microcrap have been buying exclusives left and right. Quit acting like this is some sort of Sony and Tecmo conspiracy. If anything Tecmo has always showed more love to the 3shitty. Blame Microcrap for paying everyone off and forcing them to rush everything out for the 3shitty early.
Probably the love for Xbox360 is more about Team Ninja than Tecmo as a whole. if you look at this interview Itagaki is more comfortable with Xbox360 environment and not to mention he has friends at Microsoft Xbox team.

>more love

wat
Both versions still don't look very realistic.
so what, do you really need "realistic" for a game?
I'm just saying it doesn't look nearly as good as some other games.
Already own Ninja Gaiden 2 on the 360, but since that shit red ring'd I'm gonna buy Sigma 2 for the reliability + updates.
Gonna love the absence of zombie-skin in the PS3 version.
is it just me? or i think the ps3 version is better :(
I don't know, if could be just me but by the looks of it the 360 version graphics are on par with that of PS2.
So in the end PS2 is the winner here.
1+
For me the 360\ty version has more natural lighting and coloring ,or even more postprocess efects ?? The ps3 version looks like most of the nextgen games . Collorfull with zero realism in lighting and with specular lights everywhere (its just looks like plastic).
Todays players are like crows ,they both like shiny,colored surfaces ;]
Well, in the PS3 version look at his arm. It's a lot more detailed, and has a lot more lighting dynamic that would be natural. In the 360 version it's just kinda a gray/blackness, but in the PS3 version it actually looks like light is shining on his arm.
That just one example tho
All they seem to have done is increased the contrast and brightness. If you look closely, the only other huge difference is Ayane and Ryu's character models, which could have still probably been accomplished in under ten hours of work. It's really nothing spectacular and just proves that it was a rushed game the first time around.
in b4 rational thought ruined by fanboy faggotry
No the difference is in the texture, the PS3 textures are able to react to specular lighting. This is honestly MOSTLY because of the bluray rather than the power of the PS3. The texture is also increased as you can see that the Xbox360 pictures have a dullness to them. The sharpen quality is because of either increased overall resolution or a resolution increase in the objects themselves.
In other words DVD is dated and using one DVD is something that is almost 5 years or more in technology requirements to display the level of graphics these days require.
Either this response is a genuine one or an attempt at trolling.
But using a BD or DVD disc does not effect lighting in ANYWAY shape or form. Lighting and effects and everything you see are rendered by the xbox/ps3.
BD's size allows for more/better textures to be used hence better quality textures, the 360 uses DVD consequently it has to use low resolution textures.
A way around that issue would be to get the user to install the game. That way you can still use high resolution textures and just extract them to the hard drive like on a PC.
The 360 is essentially a Pentium D with a Geforce 7 series gpu so don't be surprised that it chugs hell it chugs playing Armored Core For Answer when the action gets too hot (no pun intended). Though it doesn't mean the 360 is incapable of being optimised to run Ninja Gaiden just as well as a PS3. I personally think it's more-over lazy devs than the 360 being unable to handle the load. If any of you remember the UT engine and its later incarnations it scales to low to high end hardware extremely well.
So it's not a leap of the imagination to see an engine be optimised for its platform.
Anyways that's my two cents.
Pentium D huh? You don't have any idea what you're talking about do you? I take it you don't have a clue what a Pentium D is or what RISC or CISC is because you couldn't be even more completely wrong about the 360's processor than you are right now. And Geforce 7 series? Please. Troll less and go educate yourself. Hold your hands out. There's your two cents back. You'll need it where you're headed.
Anon 4:44, sadly you failed to read the keyword: Essentially.
I'm not saying the 360 is exactly like a Pentium D but the performance correlates pretty damn close to that of a high end Pentium D with the then latest Geforce 7 chip strapped to it (yes I know the cpu that the 360 uses is a completely different chip to a Pentium D).
The gpu core of the 360 is the precursor to ATI's R600 gpu cores which are the HD2xxx-HD3xxx series of cards so to me it sits in the same time frame as the Geforce 7s and ATI equivalents.
Are you fucking blind, the textures are almost exactly the same.
Your argument might makes sense if it wasn't so full of shit. Texture quality and lighting has nothing to do with the difference between DVD and Blu-ray.
On a side note, I wonder how bad the slowdown will be in the PS3 version. On the 360 it got really damn slow when you started getting more than a dozen enemies on screen at once.
Warhead and Wars take up around 6 gigs after installation and can easily fit on a DVD. You install it on the HDD for faster load times usually. Crysis was around 12 fully installed including multi however it wouldn't matter anyway as neither console could run the damn game at extremely high anyway(maybe high).
Textures don't take up a shitload of space. Point in case is Crysis looking better than any PS3 or 360 game ever will be. Guess what format that runs off of? Seriously this is absolutely ridiculous. There is only two games and one genre I have seen a legitimate argument for BD and that is RPGs, due to how long they are and cutscenes, and the two games are MGS4 and FFXIII. MGS4 took up alot of space because they were using lossless audio and using alot of cutscenes.
it makes perfect sense if you thought about it. first of all he only said textures and how they relate to the lighting, not that BR affects the lighting. second, in regards to textures, BR has a huge effect.
better textures are bigger. its as simple as that.
360 devs were already saying 2 years ago they were reaching the point where they needed to massively compress the textures they were using. they seemed to be fine with that, but that doesn't change the fact that that is basically an admission that the DVD was starting to affect texture size (and thus quality). BR has more space, thus it can have better textures.
so shit you he does not. you just need to know what he's talking about.
as for framerates, no clue but previews have been saying it runs smooth.
PS3 bluray discs are mostly filled with high quality videos and sound that takes all the space from the disc, really.
Adding HDR to achieve better lightning effect maybe, takes not much space. It would've been shame if the game didn't get any updated content or graphics when released to PS3...
It was released on xbox360 first so of course it gets better final touch when you have game already made that needs to be modifieded a bit...
ROFL WHAT?! You're retarded, right? I'm sure it has nothing to do with that, since you could EASILY fit all the data from a blu-ray onto like 5 DVDs, right? Oh, wait, but they're only using one.. hummmm... MAYBE THAT'S IT!
Seriously, lol at the difference.
Crysis runs off the HDD. you install the game from DVD where the game data is compressed until installed. the actual game is around 14GB iirc.
Actually MS could have done the same with their XBOX360, installing games to get around DVD size limits, BUT they just HAD to make the HDD optional to cut costs.
A very stupid mistake if you ask me. Devs loved the standard HDD in the first Xbox
Ohya I forgot to mention it is impossible to tell whether the Xbox360 could handle these levels of texture detail and the enhanced bump mapping/specular lighting because they have yet to even attempt to do it. They could easily do it by producing a game with multiple discs say 5 or 6 and having the person download them all on the hard drive of their Xbox. Considering that MSgames does not have to pay itself royalty to do this it begs to be answered why they haven't even attempted it.
However I do remember that someone mentioned that the Xbox360 had difficulties upscaling Mass Effect (exclusive), causing delays and load times to be increased. If you compare these reports to Uncharted which has nearly triple and more onscreen pixels of any mass effect scene. You have to question the limitation of the Xbox360 to even be able to stream the content. This however could be a propriety HDD issue or the way they compress data on the DVD and HDD, however.
What the f*** are you saying ?? LOL . Thats the most stupid thing i ever heard of .
DVD and BR are fucking to slow to sream in realtime superb hi-res textures ,and the memory of this consoles is fucking slow to and not to much to use (512 MB ?? lol)and the gpu's fillrates suck hard. Forget about hi-res textures on both consoles . Specular lighting and other shit has nothing to do wbith br ,its a f*** gpu thats doing all this stuff and you dont need even a 4 TB harddrive to see this effects becouse they're old and avaible even on first xbox console with DVD nad 64MB of ram .
Correction..
The memory isn't slow... it would need a dual channel DDR3-1600 on PC to be on par with PS3 memory in terms of bandwidth. But GPU memory is faster on PC (depends on what GPU you're using) than on PS3... Xbox360 otoh have a small EDRAM that is super fast.
You can stream hi-res textures fast enough from DVD or BR as long as you manage it well. Even id Tech 5 engine with its massive texture size can be run from Xbox360 and PS3. Or you can go the easier route by streaming it from HDD, especially on PS3 since HDD is included in every console. Killzone2 and Uncharted texture is amazing... and there's also CryEngine3 that runs so well on PS3.
PC is still better overall, but to say that you can't stream high-res texture from DVD or BR is baseless. The drive speed is good enough, it's more about memory capacity and how big and open the game you want to make.
Different characters = different rigs, different animations = more than "under 10 hours of work"
