"quality doesn't matter" is certainly an interesting take.

Weird that you only replied to that one thing but okay.

Brother. Why are you so serious about this. It really isn't a big deal. I like something that is subpar in quality to you and maybe some other people, but is pretty high quality to me. It looks good, runs good, controls good, and above all else is fun. That's all there is to it to me. If I can like everything about something, then something is being done right because I'm generally really selective about things I like and different versions of things I like. And a lot of other people like it too, so it's not just me with that mindset.

We differ in opinion, that's all. Chill. We can just agree to disagree on this, and you don't need to fight like hell to try to prove me wrong when it's my personal opinion.

well actually handheld games are better due to having limitations that have to make them unique or fun to play to keep people engaged

You know a post is "serious" when the rhetoric references a game that came out in 1997 in three countries but dates back to 1974, lol. Get outta here.

DoS, PoR and OoE are literally the best Castlevanias to ever grace this planet. SOTN is so primitive in comparison.

I'll correct one thing here: The Saturn ver doesn't run horribly at all, at least while being emulated on via RetroArch and BeetleSaturn.
Ideal version of SoTN would add the exclusive stuff and areas, restore transparency, give us the Saturn Maria fight, and an option to swap between the English dubs.
Yes the best version of SotN would be Requiem added to PC with all the extra content but until that happens Fixed Saturn version is the best.

Exactly not everyone cares about speed running, the types of purists that prob prefer the Arcade version.
(they also play games in 240p with no QoL features or without even ticking a simple box to play in widescreen just prefer to play it in the worst way which is fine,
the problem is when they try to push their purist crap on others or say they are the best versions only because they are "closest to the original")

Played Saturn ver on PC with literally the first one Yabuse and don't remember much slow down at all. (more current up to date ones prob run it much better)

Don't even remember much slowdown on actual Saturn hardware but that could be cause maybe i stopped before the inverted castle that has more performance intensive bosses.

Emulate the Saturn version on PC and then the 360 version and see which one runs better.

That's cool if you care about tricks but you did not mention that initially as part of your reasoning but like we mentioned before many of us could care less.

Porting a port of the original PSX version would be the best?
Saturn is notoriously difficult to emulate and it's still way ahead of even original xbox which is still struggling to emulate.
(literally can't even set basic options like the resolution with 360 emu, doesn't even have options)

The best would be the original PSX version or requiem since PS4 is much closer to PC architecture.


Also it's not just "tacking on" when it's one of the best/funnest playable characters in all of the Castlevania games now is it.

That's what people do when they can't refut your points cherry pick one thing while ignoring the rest like they somehow dunked on you or think they are 100% right..

Means nothing considering emulation for both systems is rudimentary in comparison to other systems.

Good for you.

The 360 version is the most accurate port to the PS1 version mechanically. And already has improvements.

So, no.

Doesn't have anything to do with the subject, but, cool.

The sony versions are done in a garbage in-house emulator. It's why no one uses them for speedrunning. They're terrible.

Requiem is also based on the psp version which... jesus christ if you think that's a good version of sotn you have no hope.

The SOTN/Rondo port must be in its way...has to be!

Yes PSP version isn't as good as the superior fixed Saturn version but please don't tell us why again.

Also 100% the PSP version and besides the butchering of the God King Saturn Maria what's wrong with it? (yes the redub is inferior i already agreed with you on that)
Remember it playing just fine or is it the tricks don't work good again?

Also sure the PSP version runs better than the arcade version on PC as well.
The PSP version even runs on DSU which the 360 version wouldn't in a thousand years and looks way better on the gamepad screen.

They are running out of games to do port instead.

Joke jest sarcasm quip gag wisecrack whichever you prefer..
also not as terrible as saying ROR.

i only know you did because i uncensored every swear word on steam and used censoring to censor that instead so i don't have to see it 1000 times.
(and if it so terrible why did it make you laugh out loud?
lot's of mixed messages on the steam forums)

Ruining the game resolution, art, audio quality and controls isn't enough of a reason to throw it in the garbage?

Which, again, has nothing to do with anything. Not sure why you're repeatedly trying to use emulation as a yardstick for an official release.

Easy there drama i just said i didn't remember what was wrong with the PSP version besides the obvious i didn't say it didn't have issues.
(only played Alucard and Richter on release obviously didn't play butchered Maria mode)

Why does the resolution matter? it looks way better on a smaller screen prob looks the best besides playing on a gamepad which isn't exactly that easy.

and what butchered audio that the 360 version is also guilty of?!?

You don't understand how emulation is relevant when the 360 version is emulating the PS1 version or would be emulating it if they use that for a PC version?!?

Also i didn't mention Alucard can equip THREE weapons in the Saturn version but i'm sure you just think that's tacked on and not QoL feature
(not to mention you can't even get the 360 version anymore just another thing that version suffers from with micro$ofts poor choices)

They replaced the credit theme with an update??!?!?!?
That's another good thing about Saturn no "updates" to mess with the game instead of actually updating it to restore the cut FMV's and uncompressed audio, graphical glitches in the menus...

Non integer scaled sprite art on an lcd screen that isn't the native resolution for the art looks terrible. Always has. Always will.

The audio is compressed on 360. It's not the crap psp dub and other audio changes from that.

360 version is a port, not emulation.

The emulated one is the sony versions which is why they're so godawful.

You didn't mention it because it has nothing to do with the issues of the saturn version.

And again: I've played it.

(not to mention you can't even get the 360 version anymore just another thing that version suffers from with micro$ofts poor choices)
Ah, yes. That widely legally available saturn port there's copies of in every store.

Pathetic.
Warrior of Right Aug 27, 2024 @ 10:46pm 
You make it sound like i haven't already injected the original Dub into the PSP version.
Can you inject better audio or ANYTHING into the Xbax version?

Do i really have to pull out my PSP to see if any of that video stuff is even noticeable on it?
(haven't had need to since the vastly superior Saturn version was fixed)

Yes it is pathetic how one of the only good things about the 360 version was it being widely available is not even the case anymore...

The Saturn version was Japan only and limited a valid point you could have brought up in the first place but you didn't.
All you need is a gameshark and you can just burn the game to a common blank CD to play,
you know since the Saturn, PSP AND Requiem versions actually have physical discs...
(which you should know if you played it on actual hardware unless you somehow have a real physical copy and if so if you hate it so much you should sell it to me for the pennies that "crap" Saturn port is worth)
