I pretty much missed everything this gen really. Have a lot of catching up to do. So many good games out there. Other interests kept me pretty busy.

Same. I didn't buy PS3 until last summer (for DOA5) and have been catching up on so many other games. NGS2 was really good.
Used to hate NGS2 because it tonned down the gore,then I played enough of NG2 to satisfy my blood lust so i was able to enjoy Sigma 2,last I was on Master Ninja difficulty on NG and Sigma 2,very hard on on Sigma,and mentor on NG2 aka rocket rape galore!

Really, I can't stand NGS2... Despite all the added content it felt kind of barren after playing NG2. I think they halved the enemy count and made them dumber then upped the damage to compensate 
NG2 on the standard difficulty was insane, I died like 10 times on a couple bosses. Also I'll never forget starting up mentor mode, that first battle... I just wish the game could keep a steady 60fps and wasn't so glitch ridden.

Yeah, I was hoping for a price drop.
Since I don't know much about RE(WiiU)... was the "new" Ayane stage a part of it? Kusari-gama?

NGS2 was equally as hard in my opinion (if not harder). I was disappointed with the purple essence, but it was more fun to play. NG2 had some ridiculous glitches, and awful; just an awful frame rate.
Comparing NG2's Master Ninja mode to NGS2's Master Ninja mode, vanilla (xbox) NG2 is much more difficult, imo. Sigma 2 has the added challenge of the female levels and the weird "one grapple = instant death" syndrome thing, but that fact that you are absolutely bombarded with a ridiculously absurd amount of essence coupled with the fact that you no longer have to save that essence strictly for weapon upgrading through the first half of the game lets you use items early on if you need them. You probably won't, as the beginning sections are not too difficult. But NG2, however, only gives you one break (Chapter 7). The rest of the game is always trying to beat you down, and those IS ninja spams are really hard to top.
Yeah, but with Sigma 2 mission/co-op missions I would say that overall Sigma 2 is the harder game.
Perhaps. Personally, I can't say. They're impossible to do with the AI partner and the netcode is too much crap to allow me to actually have a co-op play. Thus, I can't judge the difficulty of those accurately.
No it hasn't been mentioned yet. The only new additions thus far are the two single player modes, costumes and maybe items have been moved around (superficial changes). So it's kinda hard to call it + when they are taking away! XD
And Sigma + is well named, Sigma 2+ should actually be called Sigma 2 - Online Multiplayer
Don't worry, I'm in the minority as well and will be getting it next month regardless of om.

Honestly the slower framerate is what I enjoy so much about the games at times lol. Take the staircase of ninjas in ch 10 for example. Slow- motion vigorrian flail UT is so awesome.

Please let them bring back the tonfa, I love that weapon so much. Oh and Incendiary kunai for Ryu.
Speaking of which, I was watching a gameplay video of Kasumi where it appeared she had access to regular shurikens, kunai, a windmill shuriken, and Ryu's agility move (the head pounce). Do all the alt. characters in RE actually get some selectable options and multiple tools/streamlining, or is Kasumi just special?
