I only see Variable Geo getting a censored American release, and I don’t think fans would care much for that, lol.

When I heard the news about Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, my first reaction and I thought to myself at the time when the news came out "why did they need to re-release Ninja Gaiden 2 when you already have Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 which is based on the original Ninja Gaiden 2 on Xbox 360?" This was before I watched the trailer and realize this is a full-on Unreal Engine remake, and I also found out that Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is not exactly a full-on remake of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, nor the original Ninja Gaiden 2 that was on the 360. So I made a mistake this was not a cash grab (which I first thought it was), but now it's taking the best of 360's Ninja Gaiden 2 and some of the best of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and remaking it to have the best of both worlds.

More or less, but the simpler answer is "Because Dino Crisis 3 never had a native PC port before". GOG, by their own admission, does not do any actual porting themselves. At best they effectively mod older PC games so that they can work on modern PCs with some modern benefits, like adding in USB controller support & higher resolutions, and they've stated that they don't rely on console emulation. Therefore, there's literally no way GOG can get Dino Crisis 3 (or Dino Stalker, the PS2 Gun Survivor spin-off for Dino Crisis that's actually a direct, if loose, sequel to DC2) re-released, barring Capcom making a native PC port themselves. This also ties into the GOG Dreamlist a bit, as GOG's database for the Dreamlist is way too open & allowing people to request games that don't already have a native PC version, like Code: Veronica. It gives the idea that GOG can, somehow, port over something like C:V themselves, when that's not in their wheelhouse at all. Sure, part of the Dreamlist's intention is to show companies what titles people would like to see be re-released on PC, ideally via GOG, but if it's something that doesn't already have a prior PC version that GOG can work with, then it's down to the publisher itself to make a PC port... and then that publisher could just decide to go with Steam instead, since Steam has a larger userbase anyway. I just feel like GOG should have made sure that their Dreamlist database only included titles with prior native PC ports, because then they could actually say "Hey, people really want this game, and we're the people who can make it happen, so let us handle it". |

Isn't that pretty standard at this point? That's the main reason I don't usually bother with re-releases of old games like remakes or collections. They always seem to be censored and missing stuff. I'd rather with playing the original version with all the bells and whistles. Ninja Gaiden 2's remaster/remake has been fun to see though. I've seen so many streamers fail at the game because they keep trying to play it like Dark Souls. The advent of Souls-like games really affected how people play hack and slash games  Also fun seeing some of the reactions to the designs for the female characters in the modern age of gaming.

You mean like how Sega censored out the maps from Phantasy Star and censored out the options to tailor the difficulty to your liking, the Yggdra Union Steam port censoring out further difficulty options, or the Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne remaster censoring out a new Raidou Kuzunoha route? Oh wait, those weren't censored, those were ADDED in the remasters. You need to not make sweeping arguments like these when in truth you're just angry about vagina bones. Because we will prove you wrong every time. If you don't like remasters, fine, but don't make boneheaded arguments and don't be intellectually dishonest about it. And stop beating the word "censorship", that horse died ages ago. Let that be the last of this stupid topic in this thread. |
