I have no idea what I'm doing but this is probably the most fun I've had in a video game since I was a little kid. How come no one ever talks about Nights?
What even the fuck was this game. The only reason i know of it is because of sonic autism.

It's a game where you fly around trying to destroy machine that are ruining children's dreams. You capture spheres while flying around a stage and when you have a certain amount you can destroy the machine in every stage. It's separated into stages in a level where you aim to have a good time for each stage. You also accumulate a speed bar which makes the game even more fast-paced and enjoyable. At the end of every level you face a boss. The gameplay is pure fun
its an acrobatic time attack game.
basically get the blue orbs and bring them to the floating catcher machine quickly as possible.
now spend the rest of that course trying to chain links while doing tricks, but keep your speed up. don't go back the the palace early, spend all your time cranking the score up.
the big part of the replay value is trying to find the best possible path for the best score
idk why the sequel didn't understand the base gameplay and went for gimmick shit
i'm gonna upload my folder of nights art somewhere and post it in a second

Bump
Cause most of /v/ started on 6th and 7th gen. They also write off anything older than 5 years as aged.
>>336176327
because it was on the saturn, no one gives a fuck about the saturn even though it had a lot of great games

>idk why the sequel didn't understand the base gameplay and went for gimmick shit
because the game is only like two hours long and even though I think it's retarded, that just doesn't fly with most people for whatever reason.
JoD isn't a great game at all. The main stages are alright although the way they changed up how it works compared to the original game is kinda odd so it can be confusing, the bosses either just feel like ripoffs of the old ones or are terrible, the stages and the story beats and everything really is either just lifted from the original or kinda lame, there's way too much emphasis on story, there's a hubworld for god knows what reason, and like 80% of the game is just filler of the worst kind.
It's a real shame and if anything ever convinced me that nights would work best these days as a cheap digital only game without the pressures of having to appeal to a wider audience by being longer and more grandiose it's that.
>>336178190
What good games were there though? Panzer? When the 5th gen is brought up the Saturn is never included, sometimes I even forget it exists.
>>336176661
NiGHTS is the last Sonic Team game that was good.
>>336178458
I'm not even gonna start trying to argue with you on the whole but just the very next game they did, Burning Rangers, is something I'd consider a diamond in the rough. That game could benefit really well from a remake.

Saturn got fucked hard in the states for various reasons
honestly I think it had a better lineup than the N64

GET BACK IN THE BASEMENT!
>>336178298
I enjoyed the hub world, it gave the world flavor.
HD version is on sale, is it a good port?
>>336180080
It's great. You can switch between Saturn and PS2 Remake graphics, and it comes with Christmas NiGHTS too.
>>336180080
It's a port of the PlayStation 2 version which has all of the Saturn assets toggleable. So yes. Play it in 640x480 with the new stuff and it'll be just like the PlayStation 2 version. Play it in I believe 512x384 with all the old stuff and you essentially have the Saturn version.
>>336180080
Yes. Especially since it comes with the original.
>>336180080
it's pretty good yeah
it's missing some content but nothing that really matters. I think it's just stuff from the christmas nights demo disc anyway.
I dunno why but it feels like it runs differently from the saturn version, not sure how to describe what I mean. It's not a game breaking change but it's something that you'll notice if you play them both enough (especially back to back.)
But yeah either way it's a great port overall especially if you don't have access to the original.
>>336180080
Where is it on sale? Been meaning to grab this on PC
>>336176327
NiGHTS is brought up every now and then, but I don't know what to say about it other than I love the game, and I break it out every now and then to play it.
>>336180393
>I dunno why but it feels like it runs differently from the saturn version, not sure how to describe what I mean. It's not a game breaking change but it's something that you'll notice if you play them both enough (especially back to back.)
No, I know what you mean. In the PS2 version NiGHTS is a bit more sluggish. Takes longer to reach top speed.
Pity it doesn't have playable Sonic and Reala, but oh well.
>>336180396
PS3 version.
Saturn had the ugliest graphics of any console I've ever owned. I had Tomb Raider for it and it looked like a fucking mosaic
>>336180609
I think you do play as reala if your system's clock is on april 1st
but it's not something toggleable or anything like that yeah
>How come no one ever talks about Nights?
Not much to talk about. The game came out two decades ago and the only sequel it had was very bad.
>>336180835
I don't know if I'd call it "very bad." I mean, I guess I'd rate it a 6/10 but that's still above average.
>>336180080
its okay
the game was actually remade for ps2 as a budget title and plays a little different from the original. that's the version the ps3/360/pc ports are. 2p mode is gone. collision, paraloop length and capture machine locations are different. braking works differently too.
pc version is missing some lighting code, similar to sonic adventure 2.
saturn mode only changes the graphics.
i wish they went all out with the port and had all the extras of the original game and christmas nights.
really i can only recommend the port to casuals who will never touch or emulate the sega saturn.
>>336180936
6 for the levels where the kids run around and throw blue chips at things.
7 for the rest.
>>336181021
What a disgrace to have. I agree with you, they shouldn't have half-assed it.
>>336181146
If we're rating individual levels and such I'd call the "actual" levels that start off every world like a 7, maybe a 7.5, and the rest would be like 4 (for the platforming ones) to 6 (the rest of the missions.)
Also give that boss with the cat heads a fucking 0 what a shitheap.
>>336180080
It's not a perfect port but actually buying a saturn and a copy is probably a larger investment than most people would ever consider for one 20 year old game and saturn emulation, last I checked anyway, was kinda fiddly. The port's the best way I can think of to get anyone mildly interested to give it a chance.
>>336176327
Probably because you're a fucking loser
>>336181021
>really i can only recommend the port to casuals who will never touch or emulate the sega saturn.
That'd be me then, thanks for the info.
>>336181336
The cat head witch was nothing compared to that cheap-ass chameleon magician.
>>336181891
oh god fuck that boss and fuck you for reminding me of that boss.
But I still hate the cat head stuff more because at least that chameleon was easy enough once I found out how to beat himby going on gamefaqs since I got fed up with fighting it
also if we're just discussing the worst parts of the game that rhythm minigame where you play dreams dreams managed to turn what should have been a highlight of the game into a chore at best and a total pain at worst.
I think the reason I hate Journey of Dreams so much is because it's probably the hardest I've ever wanted to like a game that I just flat out could not.
I WANT TO FUCK NIGHTS
>>336182791
Nights is a male
>>336183473
and?
>>336183473
NIGHTS IS WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE SON
>>336183473
NiGHTS has no gender.
And I don't mean like Poison, where its whatever you want, NiGHTS literally is genderless.
>>336182791
that's great buddy
>>336183610
eh I assume it has an asshole and in any situation it has a mouth, so if you really wanna fuck it you can still fuck it.
>>336178382
Saturn Bomberman was a blast.
How is the Steam version? I tried playing it off a torrent and it would automatically play in the 640x40 resolution non-windowed
>>336183725
Well, a mouth anyway.
>>336181021
Source that it's a different engine?

The boss fights in JoD wasn't that bad actually, it was one of the few things it did right even though some of them were rehashed from the first game.
>>336181021
Can't you choose between the Saturn version and the "enhanced" version on PC?
>>336187313
not him and I haven't tried the port in a while but I'm pretty sure the saturn version in the port uses the same basic engine as the "enhanced" version, it's just graphical differences.
could be wrong on that though
