Title will be announced at the Microsoft E3 press conference.
KT were going to release a Ninja Gaiden collection that would be the originals, + Sigma 1/2, + 3RE, on PS4 and XB1.
Phil's team negotiated with KT, and sought Itagaki's blessing, for the inclusion of Black and II in the XB1 edition as an exclusive (free downloadable DLC, not on the disc). This was granted. KT area handling the remaster of original trilogy + sigma's + 3RE in house. MS have paid Bluepoint to do the the Black + II remaster.
1080/60 for Black/II on the one, 4k/60 on the Scorpio.
Valhalla/Itagaki game coming as MS exclusive, but I wasn't told more (hence why MS execs keen to get oatmeal cookie-san's blessing).
Jace Wright
There will be no more japanese support on the xbox one. It's fucking over. Enjoy you western trash.
Isaiah Reed
>MS have paid Bluepoint to do the the Black + II remaster.
This is where you gave yourself away the most, because this is literally too good to be true. Nothing this good would ever happen.
Nicholas Watson
Would these games be included in that Xbox play anywhere nonsense? NG games on PC might salvage this e3 for me.
Gavin James
i might "upgrade" to win10 for ng
Landon Turner
Tecmo "lost" the source code to the original and Black when Itagaki left, so they'll never be seen again unfortunately.
Ayden Jackson
Bluepoint wouldn't give a fuck. They reverse engineer the retail discs themselves.
Blake Rivera
If this happens and STILL no PC I will shoot up a fucking hospital Not really government i'm a well adjusted human bean
Samuel Sullivan
>the originals, + Sigma 1/2, Lol?
Justin Wood
Spencer already confirmed jap games
Brayden Lee
That's not what most good HD Collections are made from anyway
Lincoln Fisher
Stop this fucking bullshit, they tried so hard to get the games on Sony consoles with their sigma bullshit and with the success of Nioh why would they go back to trashbone as if they buy jap games?
Charles Evans
release date nigger
James Parker
>pandering to weebs this hard xbox was dead on arrival. theres no saving it.
Ryder Thomas
This will not happen They would purposely ignore Sigma Plus as base? They wouldn't just have options for the original gameplay?
Asher Jenkins
Sigma is better than black in any single way, people only like to say otherwise because Muh Itagaki.
Now sigma 2 would also be a better game if they wouldn't have censored that game.
Not even gonna talk about ng3
Hudson Rogers
Black had much better pacing. Sigma removed all that to add more battles, most of which were shit.
Colton Morales
>the success of Nioh
Jackson Morris
sounds too good to be true, but i would love to have black and 2 playing at 60fps
Jose Morales
That's like team ninja's and temco's first game in years that didn't sell like shit
Eli Hall
Woah, it's always meme arguments like this one
Nicholas Lopez
The only people that think Black isn't the absolute best are pic related who never got to play Black because they bought the wrong console that gen.
Daniel Hernandez
Didn't they lose the source code to NG2 or something? Some user told me that a while back. If it's true it would make OPs claims more unlikely.
Oliver Williams
Well, with nioh they finally got their games sold in the West, by Japanese standards even selling 500000 is not a flop.
One of them have better animations, better graphics, a new weapon, new levels and another playable character, without removing anything, somehow this is not the good version of the game.
Dylan Ward
Lies
Angel Sanchez
>wrong console that gen
I don't recall Xbox having MGS, the DMC games and SOC game, how was buying the PS2 at the time a "bad" choice?
This isn't current gen where getting both consoles is pointless
Jacob Price
Bullshit.
They lost the source code for NGII, so they cannot remaster it or make it run at 60FPS due to quality Jap physics engine programming.
Don't believe me? Wait for this miracle's announcement, Microsoft don't do miracles.
Ayden Thompson
Xbox did have MGS2
Dominic Myers
I love Black but really >PS2 >Wrong console It had a fuckhuge library of exclusives that are constantly cited to this day and production went on for ages I think if you want to start console war shit PS2 vs. Xbox during that gen was suicide
Jaxon Wood
What about vita versions
Jonathan Lopez
Yeah a whole year later and the OG xbox never got MGS3, they had to wait a whole gen for the collection
Jason Cooper
Yes Xbox had shitty obscure ports of MGS2 Silent Hill 2 Onimusha
Brandon Torres
They lost source code for black as well.
But I mean, MS was able to get Phantom Dust working with resolution up to 4k native without the source code. It's just an HD port and not a remaster, but it's not impossible to think Black and 2 could happen again.
Oliver Myers
NG II didn't have time to playtesting and game balance, 1080p/60fps isn't gonna fix that.
Logan Morales
Yeah because they had to reverse engineer it which took fucking years for PD, Microsoft isn't retarded to take another big risk on a long term plan like that when they need something NOW
Dominic White
>better animations They're the same. >better graphics True. >new weapon Woah, too bad the dual katanas are shit. >new levels Not that good, this is the only real strength though. >another playable character You have to be retarded to think Rachel is a selling point and not a fault. >without removing anything Confirmed for not playing Black, Sigma removes 2 costumes, fucking New Game+, and number of enemies has been scaled/cut down and instead replaced with easy damage sponges to help the framerate on the PS3 due to nobody knowing how to code for it early on in its lifespan.
Sigma < Black. This is objective (unless you prefer the Rachel levels, then it's practically subjective).
Ian Gray
I know MGS2 had a weird control scheme, but what was wrong with the other 2?
Jeremiah White
It was also a small team one of the execs got together and funded herself
I doubt this rumor is true, I'm just saying it could happen even if it's just for the PS4. At best realistically this E3, NG2 is backwards compatible.
Ayden Cooper
KT hates Itagaki. Japanese companies can seriously hold a grudge, and I doubt they would would ever publish something of his again.
Jace Green
Any game made for PS2 ported over will have bizzare anomalies unless the port is carefully done like GTA 3 or VC (then again some might argue that they were made for PC but w/e). A lot is nitpicky but...
Music that's supposed to loop in SH 2 doesn't. Cutscenes are poorly implemented The Fog is messed up like on unpatched Windows Other various effect issues.
Onimusha has a poor control scheme and some missing effects.
The Xbox versions are comprable to the Windows ports without the ability for fan fixes or patches.
Chase Baker
> KT were going to release a Ninja Gaiden collection that would be the originals, + Sigma 1/2, + 3RE, on PS4 and XB1. > KT not porting to PC
I don't give a fuck, then. I'm still waiting for Emulation to give me Black on PC so I can dump my X-box.
David Cook
Emulation is probably less likely to happen than a remaster.
Matthew Martinez
Itagaki's Team is busy making naruto to boruto
Brody Rivera
from square enix though
Xavier Davis
Wow, more & more "HD remasters", soon, we will have litteraly all the PS3 / Xbox360 library on PS4 / XB1. This gen is a joke.....
Wyatt Jackson
>NG2 is backwards compatible.
Something like that wouldn't need a E3 conference
Bentley Mitchell
Exactly. I'd give KT money if they put Black (or even Sigma, desu) on PC. But they are stupid and never will.
I mean, shit, I bought DOA5. I'm willing to give them/Team Ninja money PROVIDED the port is decent.
>never bought the DLC for DOA5 though, that shit is overpriced on Steam
Kayden Carter
The fog meme again?
Ryan Kelly
>NG Black still xbox exclusive fucked up again
Parker Nguyen
But it was KT's highest selling game since the merger. 1 million copies in 2 weeks is a big deal for a KT game.
