I remember being so excited for Sigma 2 on PlayStation was pissed when all the blood was censored. So glad we got the real Ninja Gaiden back.
Yeah idk why they thought that was a good idea
yup the game was censored in japan because of the violence. i prefer the old xbox version.
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.
except you didnt you just got slightly better sigma 2
theres a reason this dude didnt show real ninja gaiden 2
Gawd damn the lighting is SO nice. The dark shadows really gives more of that hidden ninja feel. Especially Ryu's introduction and talking to Muramasa.
Agreed!
NG2 black Ryu has better eyes & BETTER arm muscles lol
Never liked Sigma 2 eyes. Ryu looks awful.
Bruh it's a 2008 game
@@zatokeo5935 he got the unreal upgrade
Niggas that that to be different say shit like this, smfh. Nigga saying the og version look better then the remake. Can’t make this shit up.
Goes without saying which one is better but if u already have sigma 2 you could probably still have a good time with it.
Oh for sure
I have both. I always wanted a version like this.
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
Agreed!
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
@Mark-kv5ux Yeah well.. since there is a mod add for NG2S missing content..
Am sure some people will try to add a mod with some missing content
PC mods is a good thing (mostly)
Now we need the same treatment for the first Ninja gaiden too. Heck IDGAF I'll pay $50 for the first one to get a remake like this
Thanks for watching & commenting!
So long it's not censored I'll buy this if it ever hits physical release or buy it on sale digitally.
It has a physical release however it will not be getting an NTSC/ESRB. It will be a playasia exclusive physical release. An english import.
What do you mean by censored
Sigma 2 was "censored" by removing the blood and gore
@@MichaelXboxEvolvedThere’s a lot of blood in NG2 Black, so it’s not “censored.”
@ Did I say it was?
12:40 There’s more enemies if you play it on the hardest level. There’s a guy up top on a bridge that shoots fire arrows or something. And the ninjas all have automatic weapons too. I recommend. It’s pretty challenging.
I'll level up and check it out!
The superior version imo still is the og on xbox 360. But black is amazing
If you think this is hard?
THIS IS JUST THE TUTORIAL LEVEL!
ha!
Sonia is even cuter and sexier in the new one
Cell saga
lol huh?
The jiggles are not pyramids anymore
They gave her the Venus Vacation treatment.
and the jiggles is still here HAHA
To be honest i wouldn't bother with this game it require 10 times the storage and 10 times the system requirements for same game but just better graphics
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Yeah I would just buy the Master Collection and wait for NG4.
i don't get it why people complain the remake, the game are worthy of a good remake, specially some design way better than the original specially the ryu
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Sigma 2 has very less blood.
Yeah censored
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.
Thanks for watching & commenting!
I love the original one in 2008 but this is one is upgraded and have blood compared to the original.
Agent Sonia looks glorious! Please add her playable as dlc Koei Tecmo!
That would be nice!
yes make her dominatrix, give her whip and so on
Ninja gaiden 2 black has beautiful grafic
But sadly they cut 3 boss from sigma 2 version buda stone liberty statue, gold dragon boss fight
I wonder why
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.
Thanks for watching & commenting!
The OG is better and has better art design and use of colors
Thanks for watching & commenting!
That's the problem with unreal engine. You can't make anything cohesive in artstyle bc its a pre-made tool. You can only work with what it gives you opposed to making from an own engine. Still, they did a phenomenal job on this game
@@TheUltimateHacker007 the OG is still better.
yeah, keep yapping old man
Nah..
Sigma is so garbage man. I wish we could play the actual og ng2
Thanks for watching & commenting!
I'm loving the remake but at the same time I'm wondering why they would even do this. I mean the older game still looks and plays great so why spend all the time and resources remaking it. I guess because it wasnt available on ps5 is the only reason i can see.
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.
i was under the impression that it was a simple remaster. its full on remake
yeah they didnt have the source code for the OG. It got lost somehow. So the only option was to remake it lol.
@@joshuaminke6629 it’s a remaster
@MichaelXboxEvolved a remaster would just be just some updated textures. This is all new assets. As the other dude said, they lost original source code. So they had to start from scratch
@@joshuaminke6629 They didn't start from scratch, they instead took NG 2 Sigma and remastered that version that they did have. It's still a remaster since it's the exact same game with just new and updated textures.
@@Mark-kv5ux much more than just updated textures
I spent an hr comparing the two games on Series X and I must say Sygma 2 just looks cleaner and has higher resolution.Also there is more input lag and Black 2.Tgis game is just blurrier and at 120fps it is a real blurry mess.Decent remaster but definitely no where near a remake
You’re tripping
I dont think they ever called it a remake. Definitely a remaster
Big time lol
As someone who has only played sigma, how does this compare to the original, heard it's better than sigma, bit what about the original
I think this is a remaster of the original, as scenes and boss battles from Sigma are not present in NG2 Black
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.
Unreal engine is a realistic world but other not
Thanks for watching & commenting!
I prefer WHITE Sonia !! Not Final fantasy japanese version
LOL
coma
So you like the big lip botox version.
Sonia and the lighting looks better in the old one. everything else looks better in the new one
Interesting take
Weird take. Lol
What's up! with the Hair details in the remake. -___-
Apparently an Unreal Engine thing lol
Good. Remove piss filter
just wait for ninja gaidein 4... this is a cash grab lmao
Ehhh I think it's a nice remaster, especially over Sigma 2
@@MichaelXboxEvolved its literally the same... just add the "black" mode to the sigma game and thats it
Wouldn’t say it’s a cash grab, if you have game pass it’s already free, just something to hold people over until 4, personally this is my favorite version of the game and I was really disappointed to see sigma in the master collection and not black
@@jaycesantiago9126 but this isnt black either lmao
no its fairly priced, new grapgic on UE5, how can you call it cashgrab?
Don’t forget Xbox version of ninja gaiden 2
Yeah unfortunately a lot the comparisons of this remake are using the sigma version of NG2 and not the true original which was the 2008 xbox 360 version.
@@mastr_splntrthis remaster is based on Sigma 2 and not the OG version I think this is better. A real shame the OG is not the base for this game. A let down.
The OG version is the base for this game. Some sigma 2 scenes and boss battles are not present in NG2 Black, like the Buddah Statue
Seemed kind of pointless to compare a 2008 Xbox 360 game to this.
@@MichaelXboxEvolved well, if it is the base of the new game where are the tests of valor, mission mode, special shurikens, secondary UT's. The sigma 2 content is there, they just cut the statue bosses.
likes great but 50Euro.... i will wait fo the sale thanks
Gotta love Game Pass. But yeah if it wasn't on there I dont think I would've purchased
It is worth it. Remaster looks like the game I remembered from memory. Except some cinematics are a bit more dull
Oh is it worth it if you're a long true Ninja gaiden fan @@TheUltimateHacker007 but if you're low on funds or think it is not worth the price I say wait for a sale.
So its a remastered, right? Or remake? Im kinda confused
A remake
It's completely 1 to 1, so its more of a remaster
@@marcosamell96 it was made from scratch so it's a remake
A remaster
Correct
So what's the changes besides better graphics ?
Nothing. Just a remaster not a remake
I stick with the classic for now , I can't waste my money and pc storage for a game that already been made for years but with graphics improvement
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.
Los ninja gaiden sigma son una mierda, comparalo con el ninja gaiden 2 original...los sigma tienen peores graficos, son mas faciles y estan censurados.
acordado
ninja gaiden sigma 2 va ninja gaiden sigma 2 black not ninja gaiden 2 black
It's literally called NInja Gaiden 2 Black
No one gives a shit about the graphics, tell me how the gameplay changed and what they added
Yet clicked on a video...about graphics comparison.
Lol
