ITS A SIGMA 2 REMAKE

Amazing visual and gore but the developers should have been more honest.

YOU HAD ONE JOB

It's Sigma.

They put it in the description. OG SUCKS compared to the re-release

Hard? Sure, but it's been done before. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD is Kingdom Hearts 1 fully rebuilt in the KH2 engine because they lost the source code for the original.

Like, this ♥♥♥♥ happens. If the developers wanted to build something that looks, feels, and plays like the original NG2, even if it isn't based on that source code, they absolutely could. It's just a matter of if they're willing to invest the time and money.

Instead, they decided on some comparatively minor modifications to Sigma 2, and porting it to UE5.

That was their choice. I wish they'd chosen differently.

They wouldn't have been able to reverse engineer it even if they wanted to. Square spent ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forever rebuilding KH1 after they lost the source code. OG NG1 (which includes Black) and OG NG2 are lost, forever. There's no bringing them back. That's why we're only getting remasters and remakes using Sigma as a base.

We’ve seen what even mods to Sigma 2 can do, so in porting the game to an entirely new engine, this was their opportunity to tweak it to be less like Sigma and more like the OG.

They chose not to. But it was very much a choice. Acting as though there’s an insurmountable barrier to them building an experience more like OG 2, when even Signa 2 used it as a base (it was ported from the NG2 engine to the engine used for Sigma 1 and modified), is disingenuous.

The source code for og 2 has been lost so kinda hard to do that without it

I feel like a from the ground up reconstruction on an entirely different engine is the one time where lost source code doesn't hold any water. Genuinely baffling why the didn't go whole hog on it with such an intensive effort
