Which Version is Better?

This thread can be the place to ask which version of a game is the best? The PS1 version or the N64 version? Or maybe it's the Dreamcast version? SNES or Genesis? NES, Master System, or TG-16? Etc.

It would be very useful if people that reply to such questions could tell us why. Better graphics? Better sound? More content? Fixed bugs? What makes it better?

This could prove to be a very useful thread. If possible, maybe the mods could sticky this one, please?

I'll go first, as I'm curious about this one:

The Death & Return of Superman: SNES or Genesis version?

also

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time for SNES or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist for Genesis?

I consider this post my charity work/Donation for lazy people with taking no time off my future community service which I will have to serve after I become a mass murderer of 12 year old pubescent boys, but here you go ladies & gentlemen :D

PC version of any game vs Console version of any game - this is true 90% of time, Any PC Game that was optimized for your OS & is 2 years released from the date of your modern hardware, is better to play on your PC because of mods, cheaper price (90% of the time) & Graphics (if you really care about that) (this includes GTA IV & Saints Row 2) and in the future if you still want to play the game, you can just type in hypothetically ''Call of Duty 4 Windows 10'' and 99.9%'' you will be able to find a way to make it work. the only way this doesn't work if it's a garbage port of a game that came out 3 years before with garbage mouse & Keyboard controls, limited or no effect graphics (if it's your thing) & 30 FPS Lock & No Mods (to fix any problems) I'm looking at you dino crisis then play it on consoles

3rd Person Shooter PC Vs Console - I can't play this genre with a controller

Action PC Vs Console - Action is a very subjective term, doom is considered action just like bastion

Adventure PC Vs Console - just like Action, Adveture is a subjective term

Arcade PC Vs Console - well for this one it takes an equation, arcade=quick thrills=consoles, with a variable of price (Personal Preference)

Casual PC Vs Console - Bejewelled, Peggle, Plants vs Zombies all play better on PC

Fighting PC Vs Console - Fighting games=quick thrills=consoles,

FPS PC VS Console - Genre is better on PC, I play better with a controller btw, but you just don't have as much control (Personal Preference

Horror PC Vs Console - whatever you have hooked up to your monitor, scary games are scarrier up close

Indie PC Vs Console - PC is the home of indie games

JRPG PC Vs Console - I haven't seen one JRPG that is on PC that plays better on PC, so console it is

MMO PC VS Console - unless it's an action MMO like DC Universe it won't work on console (hotkey based mmos)

Platformers PC Vs Console - the only one that is better on pc that comes to mind is rayman 2

Racing Games - Mods, Mods, Mods, PC no question, buy a controller for your pc, you can get a great one for 30$

RPG PC Vs Console - Mouse & Keyboard & mods, mods, mods

RTS PC Vs Console - once Console RTS games get Mouse & Keyboard support, then we will talk

Simulation PC Vs Console - Mouse & Keyboard is better for this genre

Sports PC Vs Console - whatever you have hooked up to your tv, if you have both pc mods, mods, mods

Twin Stick Shooter PC Vs Console - plays & feels better with a controller

Final Fantasy 7 PC VS PS1 = PS1 is better because of the audio & less glitches, PC version does has some nice mods to make the character models look ''realistic'' but it makes the game lose it's charm

I don't agree with any of the above. Sorry.

Emerald_Warrior

Turtles in Time was definately better than The Hyperstone Heist for Genesis.

Marvel vs. Capcom...Playstation or Dreamcast?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time for SNES or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist for Genesis?

Emerald_Warrior

Turtles in Time because it has brighter colors, more levels, and in Hyperstone Heist you can't throw enemies into the screen. Both games are good though.

[QUOTE="Eikichi-Onizuka"]Sonic 3D Blast: Genesis or Saturn? I have the Genesis version on a few collections but the Saturn version is plenty cheap so I wouldn't getting it if it's a bit better.Darkman2007

The textures are much clearer, and they added lots of moving stuff to the environments that weren't in the Genesis version, as well.

dreamcast. better music, graphics, especially with vga and it's truly one of the best games of all time as well, when you have 4 friends especially

What are the differences between Columns and Super Columns on Game Gear?

And what are the differences between Breakout and Super Breakout on Atari 2600?

I don't agree with most of what "XAuToMaT1CX" said.

The only genre's that PC is best at are FPS's and Driving/Racing games. The former because keyboard + mouse gives far better control, coupled with a greater sense of absorption.

And Driving/Racing games are a no-brainer. PC gives better frame-rates and more choice of how you want to drive. Gran Turismo and Forza may be marketed as realistic but they play like Out Run compared to games like the PC's GTR series, Grand Prix or rFactor.

Even the more arcade racers that were synonymous with consoles are better on PC's; Need for Speed UG/MW/Carb/ProS, Test Drive Unlimited, Race Driver.

I still enjoy FPS's and Racer's on consoles because of the pick-up-and-play ability which PC's have never and will never possess.

-

Every other genre against PC is dependant purely on the game itself and how the developers have adapted it to their preferred hardware, though usually it's more coherent on a console.

BarbaricAvatar

The whole point of arcade-style games is for the pick-up-and-play ability, so naturally, arcade-style racers are better suited for console rather than PC.

The DX versions of Crystalis & Link's Awakening on GBC were the best ones.XereoWarrior

The GBC version of Crystalis butchered the story. And the NES gives you better sound and graphics anyways.

The Sega Saturn version of Mega Man 8 is better than the PSX version as the Saturn does 2D better than PSX, the Saturn version has some exclusive content such as Cutman and Woodman as exclusive bosses, an art gallery, and better music on Tengu Man's stage.

The Nintendo 64 version of Resident Evil 2 is better than the original PSX version as the N64 port has better visuals, better controls, in-game files with references to future RE games like Code: Veronica and RE0, and different costumes for Leon and Claire.

The PS1 version comes with a pretty cool collector's book. But that's still not as cool as in-game content.

Chrono Trigger on the PS (as part of FF Chronicles) or on the Nintendo DS? Please explain why *insert Chrono Trigger port here* is better.

Actually, the N64 version has less detailed textures, worse special effects like fire, worse FMVs, and lower fidelity pre-rendered backgrounds. Still an impressive port, though.

A lot of the better games on Saturn are starting to cost and arm and a leg, and it sucks. Unless they're early first-party Sega games, the only cheapies you can find anymore are racing and sports games on Saturn, it seems.

[QUOTE="Shenmue_Jehuty"] The Saturn version also costs several times more, unfortunately. I want to get that version if I ever find it at a decent price.

I have one: Toy Story for the Snes and Genesis. at first I saw some gameplay videos and it looked clear as day, the Snes looked and sounded better.

But then I tried both games and is it me or are the controls on the SNES kinda off? Also miraculously, the First Person segment looks better on the Genesis than it does on the SNES

[QUOTE="LittleMac19"][QUOTE="Shenmue_Jehuty"] It sure does suck that MM8 on the Saturn is expensive as all hell. I'm gonna get a Saturn just for that version of MM8. Eikichi-Onizuka

Resident Evil code Veronica X (ps2) or Resident Evil code Veronica (dc)? Code veronica X came with a interesting dvd called Wesker's Report, this is enough to make games both good

Are there any differences with Mega Man X4 for the Saturn?Eikichi-Onizuka

The Saturn port has lower quality FMVs and dithered transparencies, a few of the stages have a heat effect added to them.
