NG2 and NGS2 textures compared; night and day
Saturday, 26 Sep 2009 18:26
Ninja Gaiden 2
It looks like Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 graphics are night and day.
We've already spotted quite a few differences between the Xbox 360's Ninja Gaiden 2 and the PlayStation 3's Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
The former features a sub-HD resolution of 1120 by 585, whereas the latter has had the development time (and Team Ninja's experience developing the first Ninja Gaiden Sigma) to bump that resolution up to the high-definition 1280 by 720.
There's also another obvious difference that some gamers are disappointed with. The PS3 game
doesn't feature the gore
that made the Xbox 360 version so visceral. Instead of blood squirting from disembodied enemies, Sigma 2 spurts out purple sparks.
And now we've found another difference - the latter's graphics have been significantly improved. In the following screenshots, you'll notice the difference between the two games' texture resolutions, whether it be on the ground or on walls. The contrast is quite striking. In fact, you might say they are night and day.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 releases
for the PlayStation 3 on September 29th in North America and October 2nd in Europe.
