Just a quick note on this for the videos I mention in this, for some reason they aren't appearing on the time when they should be so I have linked them below: Intercept Video = th-cam.com/video/i1flQwaxlxs/w-d-xo.html MM Karma System = th-cam.com/video/koZkqF8XS7k/w-d-xo.html
I have just watched the segment with Alma mission and I still don't understand the point of camera topic( What's the key differences of NGB in that segment in nutshell?
Fun fact about the Fiend Ryu costume in NG04: When spirit Doku "curses" Ryu his skin color goes from blue to normal, and when he defeats the Emperor at the end of chapter 15 he "breaks" the curse and goes back to Fiend Ryu
Thanks for the shout, buddy! Whenever I start to wander off to other games, there’s always you, showing off a sick Alma fight, just pulling me right back in.
Being able to play the game with the aim of just getting cool footage for b-roll has been a ton of fun I must admit. It's a nice change from doing the usual challenge orientated stuff.
Been following this channel for quite some time (I'm a big NG fan, just don't have the time to play it nowadays). Loving the approach with this new video format, hope your channel grows a lot in 2022 Jay!
Thanks man, the next videos are going to be this series but after that I have quite a few in mind for other games I really like and have put a lot of time into. Shadow of Rome and P.N.03 are very high on the list.
@@JayTB123 awesome vid out of curiosity is their a possibility that you'll do in depth differences for NGS 1 and the differences between NG2 and NGS 2?
I remember seeing the review for NGB in a gaming magazine back in the day. It was very brief paragraph saying NGB was basically NG04 with all the hurricane pack content. I suppose it was an easy assumption to make for someone who didn't give the game alot of time. Nowadays stuff like that actually happens with games where they release a final edition with all dlc included.
Love the analysis on camera control. That's one the points that's hard to articulate the benefits without good video examples and this definitely nailed that.
Hey JayTB thanks for a great vid. When I got my xbox 360 all the way in 2009 , NG 2 was one of my favourites. It was only around 2019 that I got around to playing NGB for the first time and it truly is a masterpiece of an action game. The movement and combat just feels so good.
Great video, and that Alma fight is always fun to play. I hate those games that just buff the enemies HP in higher difficulties and make your character comparatively weaker too, DMC does that and it's just lame. NGB shows how it should be done: different types of enemies, ryu clone, bosses with minions etc.
A really dumb mistake I made was deleting the hurricane packs from my Xbox after I purchased NGB. Even though NGB is the superior version overall, I wish I could play vanilla NG with intercept. I still have vanilla NG but I guess there is no official way to download the DLC again.
Excellent video as usual, enjoyed every minute. Really like the "documentary" video format used here and seem you´d use in this series. Eager to watch next episodes. Being big fan of NG04 and black since their release but just only when I saw one of your videos which you state: "you can move cammera in 3rd person in NGB", I was aware of, prior that I used the NG04 cammera trigger to recenter Ryu even in NGB, so I´m very familliar with having Alma in front of me invading the whole screen, jaja.
I think Alma is the perfect example of how bad the NG04 camera can get even if you control it. A lot of that footage was from the planned camera control video I was working on but couldn't get something I was happy with so I'm going to go back to that once I get better with this style of video.
Hey JTB. I'm really excited to see what you have in store for us this year. :) Be careful not too push yourself too hard! Since you asked for feedback, at 2:27 the bottom text conflicts with the title card in the bottom right. No biggie, though. More important (IMO) is that when one pauses (the early parts of) the video to read your additional snippets of info, the text is partially blocked by the youtube player's controls (not a problem in full screen mode, but it is in 'standard' mode). On a more positive note, your voice is reeeeally pleasant to listen to. Whatever you're doing to deliver like this is working!
I noticed that on upload and just made a mental note for next time as I was on my third render at that time lol For the text onscreen I will try and leave it on a bit longer, it's very tricky to get a general time for those as everyones reading speed is different and mine is super slow but I know what the text is saying so I don't read it in the same way.
@@JayTB123 You're already at a high standard anyway if all we can do is nitpick :) BTW I liked the slow-mo effect with the sound and everything still included. Seems like a good tool to keep in the back of your mind. Good luck on the next ones and happy new year!
Amazing comparisson, i am playing sigma and i think its a little easier than the regular series of NG, but ng04 and ngb are the jewels from the crown continúe with the proyect bro, very interesting
These are the videos I truly enjoy watching on this channel, not sure if there will be more in the future but they really make me go back and replay these titles over and over. Great job!. Edit: By not knowing if there will be more I meant after this series is done of course.
I will be doing more after this. Not NG related at first but there's a ton of older games I want to do this kind of video for explaining their mechanics and systems. I love revisiting old games and seeing where certain things started out.
I love following and watching your videos man, very entertaining and very informative, I've learned so much from them, been playing the game a long time now, my hope is to someday beat NGB on very hard, currently stuck on ch 15 lol, can't get past the gauntlet even with a full complement of weapons/potions, maybe i need to practice more in mission mode to get past the tougher enemies like the beserkers and Ishtaros?
Mission mode is a great way to practice as the fights are often more difficult there than in story mode so when you go back to story mode after it feels a lot more manageable.
@@JayTB123 thank you wish i had your skill set, fun to watch an actual pro breeze through a game we all know to be rather challenging, I just broke out NG04 for the 1st time since I got it in 04, damn I was 25 at the time I'm getting old, such a totally different game than NGB, especially with the recovery rate lol
@JayTB123 Hey man good vids as usual. I had to ask: seeing you're channel is ryu focused. And I've followed you for a while now. How do you keep milking Ninja Gaiden Black content? This isn't an insult but a compliment. Its impressive how far you've gone with it.
I just love the game I suppose, I always think of something else that can be done. Normally it just comes down to a video or series that I think would be cool and there aren't videos for it. So that's what I make.
Thats why I having trouble on the hard mode on sigma version(PC) ;Lots of enemies that a didn't remember aka new to me, like that fuckin cat fiends. I absolutely hated and I kinda miss the original on my old xbox classic. Good Times.
Stay tuned until after this series :) There's plenty of NG2 stuff in my history too. Farnham The Drunk has some great NG2 stuff as well, would highly recommend checking out his channel.

This game never lets you go :)
I laughed so hard at the 5:37 mark, when Ryu guillotine threw the headless ninja! Never seen that before. LOL

That wallrun dodge of Alma's pillar throw was INSANE.
Lovely of you posting this - the night I purchased the original in 2004 always stayed with me.
I remember suggesting these videos a while back. Gonna grab the popcorn!

I totally forgot that NG04 was censored in Europe. That’s why there’s no head chopping in the NG04 footage there.

I always think I’m good at this until I see you’re gameplay. And then just realize how much more I have to learn lol. Great video
Real JTB fans already liked the video 😁

Legend!
Just getting back into this masterpiece after like ten years. Subscribed
Great video, and that Alma fight is always fun to play.
I hate those games that just buff the enemies HP in higher difficulties and make your character comparatively weaker too, DMC does that and it's just lame. NGB shows how it should be done: different types of enemies, ryu clone, bosses with minions etc.
I prefer the Black only outfits, but they are both great, just highly similar.
The biggest change I remember is the lunar and being able to charge Y and the missions.
I was going to put the Lunar in this episode but the next episode will be all about moves and weapons so thought it fit better for that one.
A really dumb mistake I made was deleting the hurricane packs from my Xbox after I purchased NGB. Even though NGB is the superior version overall, I wish I could play vanilla NG with intercept. I still have vanilla NG but I guess there is no official way to download the DLC again.
Bro I been waiting for a video like this for years
Thanks for the good content. I had both versions back in the Xbox days and really enjoyed this game.
Love the constant content..you're King at Ninja Gaiden
We support JTB

Awesome video! Always best😃
Very well done, looking forward to the rest of the series.
Amazing comparisson, i am playing sigma and i think its a little easier than the regular series of NG, but ng04 and ngb are the jewels from the crown continúe with the proyect bro, very interesting
You are the best JTB

I like the more scripted delivery. Thx a lot
Just found this, awesome vid! Will be promptly watching the rest of the series.
Great in depth video, thank you for walking through everything!

Question, does NG 2004 work on Series x or its only NG Black that is compatible?
Any gameplay walkthrough of Sigma 2 or Razor's Edge?
Thanks
Please keep doing these videos until Sigma.
how are you good night
Excuse me, a question by chance, you don't know if on my xbox one x it grabs the physical ninja gaiden 2004?
If you mean can you play NG04 on the newer Xbox' then unfortunately no. NGB will run from the disc though.
You know what ima buy ng04 to my damn collection lol
i came to this right after beating sigma and the enemy's can grab and stab and at least in the remaster you can move the camra to

Que roupa é essa?
Vc fez algum código nisso?
Thats why I having trouble on the hard mode on sigma version(PC) ;Lots of enemies that a didn't remember aka new to me, like that fuckin cat fiends. I absolutely hated and I kinda miss the original on my old xbox classic. Good Times.
So which version should I play now, Black or the new Sigma, assuming a series x?
I'd recommend playing both, they're awesome.
Thanks JTB. Question. Why not cover NG2?
Stay tuned until after this series :) There's plenty of NG2 stuff in my history too. Farnham The Drunk has some great NG2 stuff as well, would highly recommend checking out his channel.
O dude come on
I was literally typing near the end of your video make Sigma 1-2 vs the originals
And you said NO
Are you playing on an emulator?
Nope. All the NGB footage is from my XB1 and the NG04 footage from my 360.
