ITT: The worst versions of games that were ported to many systems
>implying
That's not the Jaguar version
Also the GBC version of THPS2, that was a seriously fucked port.
>much better music than PC
>its fuckin DOOM on SNES
>that red cartdridge
Kill yourself.
>>338568945
The Jaguar version is actually alright. Why do you think it's bad?
The SNES version is pretty much unplayable.
>>338569150
>much better music than PC
Not really. The music isn't great.
>its fuckin DOOM on SNES
That's what I posted. What is your point?
>that red cartdridge
Only if you're a seppo.
>>338569217
It had loads of technical issues, music almost as bad as the 32x and the controls were even worse than the SNES.
Hell, even the TI-83 version was less fucked.
>>338569421
>It had loads of technical issues
Such as?
>music almost as bad as the 32x
Who cares about the music?
>the controls were even worse than the SNES.
The controls aren't bad.
>>338568818
that's not Doom GBA
>>338569769
The GBA version is significantly better than the SNES version.
At least the SNES version has Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind.
32X didn't.
>2016
>not playing Doom for the ZX Spectrum
baka senpai desu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v7cFGneuaw
The only bad port of DOOM was the the 32X and Jaguar ones dipshits.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2oyweqZ7WM
Stop the SNES version is bad meme.
>>338568818
Imagine if the gaming industry back then was like it is today. That would literally be every version of DOOM on the market.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDAhgTEJ47Q
>>338570139
Yes, 10fps is really great. The SNES version is like watching a slideshow.
anyone else have a game gear as a kid?

>>338568945
>THPS2 on game boy color
I think I had that game. What was wrong with it? I certainly wasn't expecting the console version.
>>338570731
That is total arse. Holy fucking shit, why would anyone play that?
>>338568818
obligatory
>>338570731
why does the music sound like it was recorded in a restroom
>>338570731
the way it controls reminds me of that polygon video
>>338570673
Why didn't you play them on Master System? There were three good Sonic MS games.
>>338569731
>Who cares about the music?
Unless you don't mind listening to someone farting for hours on end, I assume to some degree, you do care.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2oyweqZ7WM

Its much better than the vanilla PC version desu.

Didn't have one. I got a NES and I wasn't Brazilian.
>>338571293
I still can't believe how they did Serious Sam.
>>338571439
Only Americans played NES. Master System was much better.
>>338569150
>>much better music than PC
Look at the poorfag who grew up without a proper MIDI box.
>>338571386
The SNES used samples but had such a crappy small cache that everything sounds tinny and muffled.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxTnXwudQCQ
So...this is the power of N-Gage
>>338571293
say what you will but driv3r gba was impressive.
>>338568818
Didn't that version have a bug in which the shotgun would fire one pellet of concentrated damage instead of a spread of pellets with lower damage each? It basically turned it into a much better weapon
I might be thinking of another Doom port
>>338570772
Fallout 3 and NV...
>>338571125
>every time you save, your save file gets larger and actually begins to hinder performance to unplayable levels
I remember them saying the problem was with the PS3's data management system so they couldn't patch it but I can't imagine they never fixed it somehow.
>>338570139
Music and scrapped levels aside, 32X Doom was actually a pretty decent-running port.
>>338571212
>The SNES version?
Yep, easily.
https://youtu.be/4QuwQMmngS0

No idea what that gay shit is.

Who the fuck played Master System? It sold as much as the Wii U sold.
>>338571873
SNES version sounds like shit. What is wrong with you?
>>338571925
It outsold the NES everywhere except USA and Japan. It had better games, better graphics, better sound, and was supported up to 1995. NES was for fucking retards. C64 > MS > shit > NES
>>338569314
>Not really. The music isn't great.
But it is, fuck your shitty midi's, literally couldn't go back to PC version again.

It's missing a bunch of textures, areas, the Cyberdemon and the Spider Mastermind and even the BFG was gone.
>>338572095
The Master System library was dogshit. Your other points are correct though.
>>338572095
>everywhere except USA and Japan
so, the only markets that mattered.
>>338572115
My PC version sounded so much better than that. Maybe you just had a crap midi box. The SNES sample stuff was dog shit.
>>338572157
This game has like over 30 minutes of dialouge

It was better than the NES library by far.

And it still got fucking stomped, around 10 million sales. Clearly it doesn't matter wherever the hell else it sold because it didn't win the end.
>>338572302
Nigger, Master System was full of kiddy shit as well, only they weren't half as good. Might want to inform yourself for more effective shitposting in the future.
>>338571753
correct those were also the worst on ps3
>>338570772
GTA V was better than the 360 version. Less pop-in, higher fps.
>>338572158
The BFG is in 32X Doom, but it doesn't show up in any of the levels chosen for the port. It's still accessible with a code. I was merely commenting that the game doesn't run like dogshit, unlike SNES Doom, which was a blurry, jerky mess.
>all this shitflinging over the SNES, 32X, and Jaguar ports
You wanna talk bad ports? Loosen up those assholes, we're diving into a shit pool with this one.

>>338571125
>mfw I clocked in over 700 hours on Skyrim on PS3 before I saw how the 360 port looked by comparison
I don't understand where complaints about samples comes from, it's not like games on other systems at the time didn't use them. Shit even PC games did.
>>338572748
You had the face of a racist child fucking bigot?
>>338572596
>mfw every single version has better music than the one in PC
>>338572612
Alright, move along ACfag.
>>338572837
The SNES had a tiny sample cache, so it made them sound shit. It also ages much worse than FM Synthesis.
>>338572923
>if you don't like my crappy yank console you're trolling
Nice meme, AVGNfag
>>338572612
I hope this is bait. NES had the Castlevania and Mega Man games, Contra, Kirby and Metroid just to name a few. You're probably gonna tell me these all actually suck for some retarded reasons you pulled out of your ass, but NES had way more than just Mario and Zelda.
>>338573331
'Contra' is a crappy port of the original. The first three Castlevanias suck in comparison to Rondo of Blood and X6800. Mega Man is average at best, and only one of the games is any good. And the NES Metroid is shit.
>>338572950
>The SNES had a tiny sample cache
Yes, you said that already. Small cache or not the music could still sound good.
FM Synthesis could also sound bad, and very aged. Like the original GnG for arcade. There's examples of good and bad really.

I spent around 400 hrs playing vanilla Destiny on the PS3, and around 200 more when the first expansion came out.

Well, whatever. To each his own.
>>338573591
Everything you just typed was insanely retarded. NES Contra is a perfectly fine game, Castlevania I and III are great, "only one good Mega Man game" is a retarded meme, and Metroid is a good game even if its sequels outshine it.
>>338568818
Doom on the SNES was impressive, cut down as it may be.
>>338574298
God damn I love this song.
>>338574370
I loved my Dreamcast, but people like you makes me be glad Sega died.
>>338574419

>>338568818
I have that game in its original shrink wrap signed by John Romero ;)
>>338574359
Yeah DKC is the tits. I have some great memories related to it as a kid. I vividly remember playing it until I fell asleep when staying over at my cousin's house. I always like to replay it at least once every 2 years or so. Good shit.
>>338574582
Sega, SNK, NEC, Sony, Microsoft, Atari, and Panasonic all made better consoles than Nintendo.

Nigga what
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3b4h-MUjGo
>>338571252
and it's a programming miracle that the snes could fucking play this, williams optimized the code of DOOM for the pc so well that it even has the spider demons and some other stuff that no other console port has. I think it even has the secret levels.
>>338574969
Too bad it's unplayable.
>>338569150
>much better music than PC
Damn, you're a horrible person with horrible taste.
>>338575048
You don't belong here.
>>338571592
"Tinny" and "muffled" are exact opposites.
>>338575048
Why do Amerifats always parrot the 'video game crash of 1983' meme? There was no crash. Americans just stopped making consoles. There were still arcade games being made in America and Japan, computer games being made in Europe, and consoles being made in Japan. The only part of the video game market that crashed was American home consoles. Nintendo didn't 'save' anything.
>>338575209
No they aren't, you stupid yank.
>>338574808
>Atari
>Panasonic
Hardware-wise maybe, but what good is hardware if it doesn't have games?
>>338574808
I'm sorry that Nintendo killed your dog but it's time to move on with your life.
>>338575287
because tons of companies who had tons of original consoles went bankrupt when people stopped buying video games.
Its what economics call a crash.
>>338575380
Same goes for NEC and SNK. The systems had all of two games on them. Also, is it shitposting hour for Australians or something? Christ sake, all the dumb posts in here.
>>338571252
>Eurocucks played on Amiga.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBh-vBFeegs
>>338575386
Yeah, American home console producers. That is so far removed from all video games that saying 'video game market crash' is laughably misinformed.
>oh nos muh atari isn't making home consoles no more it's like another depression
>>338575012
have you even played it? it's not bad, but it's not good.
saying it's unplayable is like saying the genesis version was goodoh wait, there wasn't a genesis version
>>338575287
Because America is always must relevant.
>>338570731
Holy shit, it's frustrating to watch the turn speed every single time he needs to change directions.
>>338575536
What the fuck is a genesis?
>>338575359
Muffled is literally when the music is too low-quality to sound tinny.
>>338575536

The 3DO version (outside of the music) is the worst by far.

>>338575698

>>338575781
It's better than the Snes version.
>>338573591
>'Contra' is a crappy port of the original.
It was a rework, you moron. The Arcade Contra was a mediocre game anyway. The weapons were unbalanced as shit and the whole game is just three stages that only takes ten minutes to beat. The NES Contra was the one people actually liked.
>>338574690
The plastic wrap is signed
>>338575825
>yfw the Snes clockspeed was less than 3mhz
>>338575836
Contra is a meme for yanks
>>338575836
> The weapons were unbalanced as shit
>>338575467
Neo Geo i can name KoF, Metal Slug, Blazing Star, Samurai Showdown and the Ladt Blade off the top of my head man. NEC had Star Soldier, Bomberman, Blazing Lazers and with the CD add ons you get a lot of obscure Japan-only oddities.
I like Nintendo too, but you can't say those had no games.
>>338575825
More like it was already out, so why not use the hardware upgrade? Keep in mind most genesis games tend to have triple the number of enemies on screen at a time compared to the SNES.
>>338575739
>Amerifats in charge of words
Not American, try again.
And you literally have no clue what you're talking about. Tinniness is what happens when the audio rate "pops" between levels too fast. The SNES "glides" between levels. It's like the difference between a square wave and a triangle wave.
Genesis music is tinny. SNES music is muffled.
If you weren't playing Doom on PC you were doing it wrong anyway
>>338575739
>The Amiga line of computers were good, though.
Yeah sure it was. There's a reason why the pc became standard. That Eurocuck machine could barely run advanced 3d computer games from the late 90s, only Worms or Lemmings. Look at the Quake port. It was dogshit.
>>338576072
Well, I like some games on Neo Geo, but its total amount of games period is scarce. There's only 148 titles for it. There was no doubt heavy droughts for Neo Geo owners at the time.
Panasonic was inarguably shit though. I can't think of one good game on that thing.
>>338569150
>not using a PC to output the hardest core Doom rendition on your printer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG8RAbWs1yo
>>338576324
What is 'the Euroc*ck machine'? There were hundreds of European computers.
>>338571674
That was SNES.
Not a bug, was intentional. Same for the BFG shooting a Baron of Hell projectile.
>>338568818
3D0 version was buggy and even more incomplete with an even worse framerate.
Enemies would also blink out due to hardware issues.Really nice music remixes though
>>338575916
>still needing an expansion pack to run doom
>>338575526
Regardless of where the company was located, Atari was the largest video game manufacturer at the time. The fact that it went under meant there was a crash by just about anyone's definition. It was sort of a short-lived video game depression.
>>338576476
https://youtu.be/7a7-5WYOKxE
>>338576583
There have since been versions of Doom developed for the Mega Drive, actually.
>>338571037
hahaha it does sounds like an ass
>>338576590
Nobody outside of America cared about Atari. PC gaming was way better in Europe, while Japan had the Famicom and SG-1000. The 5200 wasn't even released outside of America.
>>338576459
Neo Geo was more of an arcade machine really. There's a reason the AES and the games were so expensive.
>>338576583
The Snes needed the FX chip to run Doom and even then it was shit.
>>338576712
The sad thing is you probably can take a shit and replicate "At Doom's Gate" by closing your asshole intermittently.
>>338576801
>>338571037

>>338576891
the snes actually had online multiplayer aswell, beat that genesissy
>>338577089
I like the floppy drive version more. They should have added that to the 32x version.
>>338577105
PS2 has 100% more Rouge on screen, therefor it's clearly the best.
>>338576801
America has the largest economy by far and at the time the largest console market share until the crash. I don't see how you can't consider that going under a crash of some sort even if other areas are somewhat stable. More than anything it's just arguing semantics.
>>338577136
The Mega Drive had online as well, actually. It had many online features, but were mostly limited to Japan. Why do you call the Mega Drive 'genesis'?
>>338577128
You can't hide from the cops, kid fucker.
>>338577252
It only affected American consoles. American arcades and computer games weren't affected, and no overseas markets were hurt. Consoles were never popular in Europe, and Japan didn't give a shit about Atari.
>>338576801
>Nobody outside of America cared about Atari. PC gaming was way better in Europe
I hope you know that Atari had a huge home computer line, in which Europe was their biggest market.
>>338577280
It was called the Sega Genesis in North America, that's why some people refer to it as "Genesis".
>>338574608
He's right about Metroid, tho.
>>338577105
Chaos Theory on the original huge still blows my mind.
>>338576671
What did they do to get it working for the Genesis?
>>338577445
Only the ST did anything in Europe, and that was after 1983.
>>338577478
That's retarded. Stop doing it.
>>338577402
So what? If American consoles alone make up a significant portion of the market and that goes under that can be considered a crash. Not every single person in a country flings themselves from a building during a market crash.
>>338577593
>That's retarded. Stop doing it.no
>>338577565
What's a Genesis?
>>338577595
Then say American home console market crash, not video game crash.
>>338576028
They were even moreso in the AC version. The Fire Ball sucked even worse.
>>338570731
>>338570878
>>338571252
why are you faggots so butthurt over this?
It's pretty great especially for the snes. Totally playable
>>338577692
Google it, I'm not going to spoonfeed you
>>338577731
>I like to play games at sub 10fps
Kill yourself.
>>338577593
>That's retarded. Stop doing it.
Why? You're in the minority. The Genesis sold more than twice the amount in America than the MD did in every other region combined.
>>338577731
yurofags still waging console wars from generations that have long since passed. I guess.
>>338577752
It's some Jeebus shit, apparently.
>>338568818
SNES, Jaguar, and Genesis/32X Dooms were all awful in their own ways, but 3DO was probably the worst just for the fact that you either play with god awful framerate or god awful resolution, on top of shit music and awkward controls that the other ports faced.
That being said, SNES, Jag, and G/32X Doom were all terrible and it's pretty tough to determine which of those three is the worst just because you would have to list their few strengths and compare their many weaknesses, then give a value to how badly each of those weaknesses are. It's like a matter of carefully inspecting and comparing piles of cow shit, horse shit, and pig shit to find out which pile is the worst.
>>338577890
No, clearly it's a fucking band.
>>338577692
>Then say American home console market crash, not video game crash.
No. It was big enough that I don't have to. That's the point.
If Estonia game stump 2000 goes under then feel free to call that the Estonian gaming crash or whatever, it's not significant. If all of Japan, Europe, or America's console market crashes then I'll just call that a video game crash of 20XX.
>>338577996
>Estonia game stump 2000
>>338577989
I like how faggots love to pretend vanilla doom which ran at 26 fps and had crappy midis for music never happened.
>>338577996
It was a home console crash, not a game crash.
>>338577136
so did the genesis
it was called X-Band, you could play NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat 2 in 1995 with shit ass speeds
god, are you all fucking children?
>>338570731
Damn. I know most of those enemy placements by heart and I still had trouble making out what each mess of pixels was supposed to be.
>>338569421
>music almost as bad as the 32x
It didn't have any fucking music at all
>>338578641
I still can't get over the fact that sega invented downloadable games.
>>338578817
Exactly, almost as bad as the 32x.
>>338571602
Oh sweet jesus no. How does that even control?poorly
>>338578832
Why? They were the biggest game publisher for 20 years. They were the most likely to do it.
>>338578270
I don't ignore that vanilla Doom was shit, of course it was crappy because it's a DOS product of 1993 hardware. However, we have a bunch of great source-ports now that eliminate having to deal with vanilla Doom's problems all together so the only people that pay it any attention are those that grew up with it. Besides, we're talking about ports here so there was no reason to compare the original game to its ports.
SNES version was a blurry mess, with the 32x version being a slightly less blurry mess.
3DO looked well enough, it's a good looking still picture. And Jaguar had shitty looking colors and no music. Pick your poison.
>>338579003
Because they did it before people even knew the internet existed.
>vanilla doom
>shit
You can literally go play it in dosbox with keyboard turning and it's still a blast.
>>338579038
Who are those people? Old people? Young people? Most adults and young adults knew of the internet back then.
>>338579010
>that eliminate having to deal with vanilla Doom's problems all together
Tell me, please, what "problems" you eliminate through sourceports, so that I can laugh at you.
>>338568818
It's not the worst (Saturn or 3DO, since each runs at a near unplayable framerate).
It is pretty fugly though.
32X is okay other than music (just turn it off) and gimped lighting, PS1 is great and adds colored lighting and shit to account for all the setbacks the ports had to deal with. Doom on Jag is barebones, but entirely playable.
all of them fuck with levels and textures because of a combination of storage space and lack of RAM, and I think 32X Doom's real issue is how it includes zero levels from episode 3
probably had to do with ROM space and the new texture set it'd need to include on the sub-4MB ROM, but it's still some shit
>>338573591
Arcade Contra is actually kind of really bad, and it's amazing just how much it fixes shit.
>>338577105
Shadow the Hedgehog on PS2 is even worse. Holy fuck, anyone who played that game on PS2 got shafted even harder than they should have.

If you had a good soundcard/actual MIDI hardware, you could have Doom on PC sounding absolutely amazing, and this was a time when the soundcard was actually an important part of a computer. If you had a fast CPU, you could play at a blistering 35fps (okay, that's not terribly impressive, but it is around twice the framerate you got on the ports, but you needed to have a relatively new machine that probably cost a bit over $1000 back in 1994/1995 for a consistent 35)
>>338576072
considering the Neo's relatively small library, the KOFs are like a 1/10th of the games on the machine
for an arcade unit, it has a huge-ass library
for a home system, it's incredibly small
>>338579114
It came out in 1990, it wasn't even close to a common thing then.

yeah, but you only had them for a short while
but we got shit we never got carts of like wily wars like pulseman
fucking sega
fucking repro carts not being dirt cheap
>>338572859
(you)
All of these shitty console ports makes me wonder
With the recent obsession with getting Doom to run on LITERALLY EVERYTHING, has anyone gone back and attempted an improved port on any of those consoles?
>>338576459
>Panasonic was inarguably shit though. I can't think of one good game on that thing.
The 3DO wasn't strictly a Panasonic thing, they just made the first model. The whole point of the 3DO was that it had a license-based platform that any company could manufacture, just like VHS and DVD players.
Jesus christ I've seen iPhone games that look and run better then this shit
>>338579472
That's lovely
>>338578832
>dreamcast was the first console to come with built in internet functionality
>let you play quake 3, with M+KB and crossplay with PC
As far as I know it was the first game that let you play between systems.
>>338579003
Biggest? Did they publish more games than anyone else?
>>338580209
There has never been a point in history where sega wasn't pumping out more arcade games than anyone else.
Cross-posting from /vr/.You'll learn to appreciate the Super NES version once you've played Final Fight on Amiga.

Damn, that's good.

Most recognisable. They were leaders in the home console market, arcade market, and they even ported their games to PC themselves in the 90s.
>>338580070
I played BL2 exclusively on my Vita there for a while. Theyt released some patches after launch that fixed things up a bit. The thing runs at a constant 30 FPS now. It still doesn't look as good as on consoles, but it's all there, and it's (relatively) smooth going, which is pretty impressive by itself
>>338570772
Wasn't that just for earlier stuff? I think there were quite a few multiplats later during its lifespan that ran better than their 360 counterparts (like Splinter Cell Blacklist).
>>338580392
>They were leaders in the home console market
They've lost out in sales in every generation though.
>>338579969
Why would anyone bother improving a port from two decades ago? Porting Doom at the time was done because not all console players had a PC to play Doom on. Now like you said it runs on everything and there's no reason to go through all the trouble of putting it on a cartridge for non-contemporary hardware.
there are no words for how bad this was.
Sadly I thought it was amazing because I had never played or knew any thing of the PC version.
>>338580582
In some countries. Yet the Master System was the best selling home console of its generation in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Brazil, while the Mega Drive was the best selling console in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Sega was easily the most recognised publisher in video games. More recognisable than Taito, Namco, and Nintendo.
>>338580589
>Why would anyone bother improving a port from two decades ago?
Same reason you'd put Doom on a TI-83 graphing calculator, or a printer's UI
BECAUSE IT'S DOOM!
>>338580582
Keep in mind all the while they were basically kings of the arcade, and still are.
>>338580783
This. When you saw a new cabinet from Sega, Namco or Taito you knew it was good. Did Nintendo ever make any gold arcade games? I know they had Donkey Kong, Punch Out and Mario Bros, but those all kind of sucked.
>>338581035
Nintendo pretty much gave up on the arcades after launching the NES, aside from their Vs. System games, which were just NES games running on arcade hardware.
>>338580954
I'm not denying that, I'm just saying that what he said there about them being the market leader in the console market is wrong.
>>338580295
fuck me
you sorry english basterds
>>338581035
Killer Instinct 1-2 and Cruisin USA
>>338581205
I just looked them up, mostly clones, rip-offs and licenced ports. No wonder they never had anything to put on their console and had to rely on Konami and Capcom.
>>338581205
this
the only things i saw that weren't their usual shit were just playchoice cabs. i could have had one for $300 back in 2007...
>>338581315
Didn't Midway publish both of those?
>>338581265
They also did those PC ports of Street Fighter II that came out when the Super NES was getting Turbo.
>>338581473
US Gold published a lot of crap. But they also published Johnny Bazookatone, so it's not all bad.
>>338580313
admittedly, Sega left the console market right as broadband had begun to really become widespread
>>338580582
anyone else remember how K-Mart was fucking huge before Wal-Mart waltzed in and fucked their shit and now if you see a K-Mart, you wonder how the fuck it's still in business?
That's Sega. Sega used to be a giant in the industry, and then they fucked up and now they're a laughingstock.
Which is a shame. Even when they didn't win, they generally got second place, other than a few specific systems in specific territories. Sega used to be something other than dirt.
>>338581035
Nintendo was never known for its arcade games other than in their earliest videogame years. Once they released a home system, they committed to being a home developer.
And man, Sega, Namco and Taito were the big three in the arcade, god damn. I'm glad someone else remembers to bring up Taito alongside Sega and Namco, because Taito's games were fucking brilliant.
it's a fucking shame that Taito decided to kind of stop doing things out of the blue after '95-96 or so, they went from being prolific as fuck to putting next to nothing out
cutting edge tech from all of them, although Taito left that race early and Namco went cheap once the PS1 came out and they put most of their arcade games on souped-up PS1s in cabinets
most of Taito and Namco's tech advances ended up in response to what Sega was putting out and still they still played hardball by delivering brilliant games to try to beat Sega at their own game
>>338581582
Considering how much absolute shit they published, I'm convinced that US Gold was a slander campaign against America. Whenever you saw the US Gold logo, you knew you were in for a bad time.
sure, the home computer conversion industry kind of sucked, but US Gold put their name on some of the worst shit
>>338581362
They actually had quite a few for the NES, you should check out some of the stuff they put on it. It's just that it gets overshadowed by something as big as Mario, Zelda and Metroid. Especially Super Mario Bros, that shit sold like crack.
>>338581820
Yeah I'm sad that Sega is no longer producing consoles as well. They messed up at some point and paid a hefty price. I'm afraid it will happen to Nintendo one day.
I don't want the industry to be at a point where no video game companies are making game consoles.
>>338581820
US Gold weren't as bad as Ocean, at least. They were like what EA and Ubiosft are now.
>>338572596
The 3DO version doesn't seem too bad, except for the frame rate, I like the music in this version more then the pc music.
That's not the 32X version
>>338582280
I would love to see sega come back. Regardless of how well it would do. Imagine them shaking things up, that good old sega attitude
>commercial comes on
>all the consoles on the floor
>CEO of sega comes out
>pulls down his pants and shits on the consoles
>sega logo comes up
>dreamcast 2 coming soon
>>338568818
The graphics may have been shit thanks to the snes, but it was far from the worst port.
The 32x version didn't even have all the levels and the music was ass, which is baffling since by all technical standards the 32x hardware should be far superior to the snes.
>>338581035
Kinda makes you wonder how the fuck Sega managed to go out of business when it comes to home consoles. And even Nintendo is on life support right now. How the mighty have fallen and all that.
>>338583104
Constant fuck ups from both NA and Japan branches but mostly the NA branch, it's why SEGA hates the west now.
>>338583196
SEGA has always hated the SoA, apparently.
>>338583104
Selling the Saturn at a loss, bringing out the 32x too late.
>>338583347
They did even though SEGA started as a westerner company, SoA just made them hate the west even more over the years.
>>338581820
>Considering how much absolute shit they published, I'm convinced that US Gold was a slander campaign against America.
I thought they were named U.S. Gold because they started off as a U.K. publisher for U.S.-developed games.
>>338582978
Nice meme
>>338583104
They promoted a CEO who was very open about the whole "no consoles" thing even before he got the job. This was a year before the dreamcast was declared dead.
>>338583104
>Kinda makes you wonder how the fuck Sega managed to go out of business when it comes to home consoles.
Sega of Japan and Sega of America fucking hated each other and constantly fought fucking everything up.

>>338583907
It did suck. It was a waste of two monitors.
>>338582901
and it was superior in every other way, with a higher framerate, better textures (floor textures at all even), higher resolution (shit, SNES runs in a window on the screen too, the border is just black instead), etc
pretty much all of its other shortcomings are due to the fact that the 32X version was rushed as fuck (like almost literally every other released 32X game), music was implemented to get the feature off the list and then they never had time to really work on it again, they wanted to optimize the resolution to be fullscreen but couldn't in time, so they dropped the screen size
they probably should have just released with no music though
>>338577794
Did you serious not understand the context of what he was saying?
If it was 1994 and you had this on a SNES you'd shit your pants over how well it ran.
>>338568818
it plays better than DOOM on a graphing calculator, printer, toaster or microwave
>>338584230
If I played that on Snes in 1994 I would put the controller down and go back to playing it on PC.
