IGN: What about online modes?
AS: We're only at twenty percent so the only thing I can say definitively is that we will be supporting the Karma leader boards we had before so you can upload your scores and compare them with people around the world to see who is the better Ninja. As far as other stuff goes we're still talking with SCE discussing the PlayStation 3 online strategy as a whole and they're being very cooperative.
IGN: You said the game was early but what types of graphical upgrades are you adding to the game? We could see the falling leaves, some new particle effects, and the fire effect that looked new.
AS: The nice thing about PS3 is that now we have a Sony PlayStation platform that has enough power to run Ninja Gaiden. Not only can we run the game in its original form but we have enough power to do something extra. We're pretty confident that even if we just brought the game over in its original form we still have one of the best action games on the market just in terms of gameplay. But since this is Team Ninja we're not going to settle with that. We're using the extra power for graphical upgrades. If this trailer is at 20% completion you can imagine how the full game is going to look.
