      I believe that was because of console limitations at the time. PlayStation couldn't handle too many enemies at once and I'm guessing it also couldn't handle the dismembered limbs and blood lying around everywhere so they changed it to mist to save memory/resources.

    NG2: The original game leaning more to hard & gore (plus more enemies)
    NG2 SIgma: weaker & less enemies, less enemies encounters, no blood/gore, but they added some DLCs & bosses
    NG2 Black: They took Sigma 2 DLCs.. & added new engine, they added some blood & slightly buffed enemies
    So overall.. NG2 Black is the best experience to play the game.. finally we got a good real remaster

    • @Mark-kv5ux
      @Mark-kv5ux 12 днів тому +1

      Actually no. They took NG2S and retweaked that version. It's missing the following from the original:
      - Tests of Valor is still gone
      - OG xbox outfits are missing (still in the game files wtf?) and some of the sigma ones
      - Some enemy spawns are still really barren on a few maps
      - Some of Ryu's ranged weapons still gone
      - No survival mode
      - Mission mode is the gutted co-op version that relies on an AI partner, the original version was made for solo play in mind
      - Ninja Run from the Vita version is gone, personally I didn't care for it but why even remove it?
      - No NG+ mode, it's still pure insanity that they removed this.
      Overall the best experience is playing NG2S on PC and downloading the Black mod that adds all that missing content from the original, not to mention the collection is much cheaper than NG2B

    Such a disappointment again that this is literally a remaster of the sigma version, lol. I was hoping it would be the original, but also with the content from the sigma version. But no. It's just sigma with good graphics (and not always, sometimes it seems very cheap or something. So plastic, like the graphic mods from enthusiasts). The number of enemies and the difficulty are also from the sigma version. Sad.

    obviously black 2 does well in that it brought back the vicious blood and gore, on top of mostly leaving the female leads as sexy as they should be.. but because its not SIGMA 2.. we don't have the fights with the statue of liberty and buddha nor the bonus mission modes..
    also i'm pretty certain from what i saw, TN had to "nerf" some of the females to be slightly.. less endowed in order to not enrage the "diversity crowd", Ayane being one of them.

    • @lunarjellyfish5538

      Mainly to generate interest in Ninja Gaiden 4 and Ragebound games. The series has been dead for 13 years. This along with the sigma collection have been their strategy to get the public interested in NG 4. (Not to mention all the people who never played the old games, a Unreal Engine 5 graphical upgrade will get new people/younger generation in the door.

      As far as I can tell the gameplay is very Similar to Ninja Gaiden 2 vanilla (the better game overall for me) but with some of the (though not all) added Sigma 2 content and some quality-of-life changes. For example, the bow no longer has limited ammunition like in Sigma 2. It also adds the ability to rebind the controls like Ninja Gaiden 1.
      While some of the missing Sigma 2 content is a shame, I'd say it's the best version of Ninja Gaiden 2 overall.

      There are changes. Depends on which one you are comparing to though. This version has the item spawns/enemy spawns from Sigma (but they also increased some numbers/damage to make it more in line with OG's difficulty -- basically the middle ground of OG and Sigma; the Ayane, Mimosa, and Rachel content from Sigma (which wasn't in OG version); they removed the Buddha/Lady Liberty bosses from Sigma; they removed the annoying skull worm boss from Chapter 7 of OG/Sigma; they added the Weapon Upgrade System from OG; added blood and gore from OG; Sounds and feel of weapons from OG, with punchier animations; There are no Tests of Valor from OG (which is a shame, I liked those); and they kept the bow economy from Sigma (unlimited arrows, can't Ultimate Charge shots); there's also less of the puzzle content from what I've seen...for instance, in Chapter 2, you used to have to run around the sides of the palace and grab the magatama crystals (ying/yang) to unlock the dragon mouth door, but now you can just keep going up without breaking the flow of the game.
      There's more, but essentially, it's a middle ground between the OG and Sigma. A "black" version (read: rebalanced/definitive edition).
      The female ninja content is pretty fun, with unique weapons/playstyles and bosses, but they only get 1 chapter each, and they're shorter than the Ryu chapters.
      All in all, I think it's worth the price tag, especially considering most remasters/remakes are $60 or more from other developers/games. Even if it's a little too high, wait for a sale when it's down to $30 or something, maybe in a year.
