Is this NG2 Original Restored, or just Updated Sigma?

[Sticky White Stuff]

Or a mixture of both, like extra content, but base gameplay of original NG2?
Because adding gore and enemy placement won't change the game if they don't change how the Bow Behaves as well as some other minor things like puzzles.

Also, since it's based on the horrible Unreal Engine, does the game micro-stutter, or does it have shader-precompilation?

Thanks!

Its supposed to be the Xbox 360 original, but with the playable ladies from Sigma 2 added.

OG2 with added stuff.

Thank you. Are those sections forced or optional, however? I always disliked how they disturbed the placing of the main story, but enjoyed them as a separate thing.

If you have any more information to share, like performance/Unreal Engine Stuttering (Or no Stuttering, it would be helpful).

original xbox 360 version + sigma

I can confirm it's the X360 versions. All extra content is added in a separate game mode I guess, haven't unlocked / finished it yet but I can confirm it's the OG.

[Sticky White Stuff]

Thanks guys. I see no one is mentioning Stuttering, so i take this is a non-issue so far.

100%

Yeah, don't listen to the liars in this topic. This is the Sigma 2 version with less than a handful of things changed back to how it was in the Xbox 360 version... but it's nowhere close to the Xbox 360 version. If it's a mixture, it's like 90% Sigma 2, 5% original 2 and 5% new/changed stuff different from both.

It does have shader compilation, but it's very short luckily. Does have the other UE5 issues though.

sigma 2 encounters but with new gore.(not quite og 2 gore where it had goo strings).
no trials of valor, but oddly no budda boss and uses og muramasa shop method.
has the sigma 2 tag missions and no online play.
its a bizarre sigma 2 mod and the comparisons later will be interesting.

for most people this will replace sigma 2 outright but for gameplay the original is still superior.

What is the difference between the OG and Sigma beside the giant bosses, dismemberment and difficulty? This game literally has everything from the OG Xbox including what I mentioned above: dismemberment, gore and higer enemy count. Is all of this in the Sigma version? If the answer is no, then this game is NOT another Sigma. It's more loyal to the original that the Sigma version.

[Nonexistinghero]

Quite effing lying. Sigma 2 had dismemberment, just not the gore. Black 2 does not have a higher enemy count. Tests of Valor are still gone. Costumes from the original are also still gone. Game balance is pretty much the same as Sigma 2, absolutely nothing like original 2.

If you're gonna argue it's the same as the original, at least play the damn original -__-

This is so disheartening.

They made this sound like a best of both worlds situation with a focus on catering to Xbox 360 version fans.

I made a topic figuring after the shock and honeymoon period ended, we'd start seeing "This game is terrible, actually" takes, but not from legit issues.

Dude, you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for literally nothing. If you enjoy that version so much go and play it in Xbox 360. This is the BLACK 2 version, of course it was going to be different, just like the Black 1 version from the OG 2004. If people like you had internet in 2005 you'd ♥♥♥♥♥ about the Black version altering everything from the original. Enojy both games for what they are, not for what you miss from the original.

BTW I have the original and a fuctioning Xbox. I've played it countless of times and I find differences but it's not the end of the world.

Is it only for few chapters or you could replay entire game with them?
