Features:
Splash Screen:
The startup image has been replaced with a new and refreshed design.
Title Screen:
The title screen has been expertly edited to mirror the aesthetics of NGB, with the only distinction being the title now reading "NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA BLACK."
Bloom:
The annoying bloom effect has been removed.
Soundtrack ♫:
The original NGB soundtrack has been fully restored to 100%. Unlike other mods, this one not only normalizes/increases the volume but also
ensures that the tracks have loop points for correct repetition. However, in the instances of the menu and post-chopper defeat at the military base, the music remains the same and cannot be changed independently due to the use of the same file. If desired, the default Sigma soundtrack for "menu/military base" is available. Please refer to the optional files for more information.
Kunai scrolls:
Ayane's kunai scrolls voice was restored to 100% for both English and Japanese.
Menu:
The menu has been meticulously adjusted to closely resemble that of NGB. This is because the original design of Sigma's menus significantly deviates from NGB's; a notable distinction includes Sigma's utilization of the same background for both the main menu and the pause menu (inventory).
Refer to the "compatible mods" section in the mod description for additional menu schemes, including the red menu.
HUD:
Classic NGB life bars, karma display and O² bar.
Presentation:
NGB-like screens for chapter starting, chapter cleared, chapter rank, mission starting, mission completed and game over.
Font:
NGB fonts for menus, cinematic and cutscenes.
Cinematic:
The original cinematic of the fight between Ryu and Doku has been restored.
Art of the Inazuma:
Changed the color of "Art of the Inazuma" from yellow to blue.
Enhancements:
Helmets, gauntlets, and anklets are now invisible when equipped. Despite their invisibility, they still function normally, providing the same benefits to Ryu without the visual presence of these unpleasant elements.
Bow:
No crosshair in the bow, similar to NGB. Additionally, you can opt for the default crosshair if desired; please refer to the optional files.
Shinobi Shozoku:
The classic Shinobi outfit is now available for selection from the menu, replacing the "The Grip of Murder" costume.
Classic Ninjas:
The classic red and black ninja design has been restored.
Dropped Items Light:
Changed the color of dropped items' light from yellow to blue.
Button Prompts:
For Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. Check optional files.
