Hmm, I'm thinking about picking up the first Sigma after playing this demo. What changes does it have over NG: Black?
- Improved graphics, both in textures and models. The biggest changes are in the first chapters, but it's always there.
- A larger variety of enemies. This includes new regulars, minibosses, and bosses.
- More weapons.
- D-pad selection/use of items. This is a great addition.
- Easier use of the bow.
- Levels very slightly changed/puzzles removed and replaced with combat.
- Several levels using Rachel. She's much slower than Ryu and they're mandatory, so some folks hate these. I found them merely okay. They don't have much new in them, just small extended areas, etc.
- More loading. Definitely not good, but usually it's not a big deal; they're typically just short hiccups. If you get in a fight near where a mid-level load happens, though, it's annoying as hell.
- Some tearing. When installed, it's not horrible, but it's disappointing after
Black.
- Sixaxis amplification of Ninpo. GAME-CHANGING!!!
The absolute worst thing about
Sigma is that they didn't re-render the CG movies for HD, so they look like absolute shit upscaled--much worse than the game itself, actually.
