Best Snatcher version, /vr/?
I've been told it's the Mega CD, but I heard it was censored.

pc engine cd is the most up to date by kojima himself
everything after that was edited by other konami staff
>>3238581
But isn't the PC Engine version in japanese?
>>3238585
yeah
people are lazy fuck who are glad that the game is translated at all on th sega cd
>>3238585
The Sega CD/Mega CD version is the only one that has an English translation. So unless you know Japanese, you're pretty much stuck with that version unless there is some unofficial translation out there.
PC-Engine has the best version, too bad its in Japanese.
>>3238579
the only thing I remember being censored on the sega cd version is a single tit and the blue hair girls ass.
>>3239584
This.
While the nudity is censored, the violence is more complete in the Sega CD version than in most of the Japanese versions.

>Because tits are the devil, but violence and murder are a-okay!
You know, I will never understand that mentality.

That sounds bad enough
The English voice acting is actual not too corny in the mega CD version
Sega CD has better audio and is in english
It does have a censored tit shot and IIRC theres a scene with a dead dog that isn't quite as explicit
>>3238579
it is censored but it not a big deal if you're not a sexual frustrate
>>3239964
The dead dog is actually the most explicit in the Sega CD. Sega CD version is absolutely the best version and it's stupid to let two or three instances of nudity (isn't there some in the strip club?) make you miss out on such a great game. Also, the girl who's butt you see is 16 in the Japanese version. All of these very slight differences are easy to just look at online but being able to use a light gun in the shooting parts alone more than makes up for it as far as I'm concerned. If you want a pornographic VN believe me there are much better ones than Snatcher.
>>3238579
Mega CD is compelte, has good english voice acting. Go with that.

And? That's of legal age in most developed nations.

It's why they have so much trouble these days with murders and gender politics.

I never thought Gillian's English voice never actually suited his character. Still I have to give the VAs credit for only having three male actors and making their characters sound distinct from each other.
>>3240725
but muh pedo hysteria, muh child rapist bogeyman
I never liked the timeline skip they made in the Sega CD version. It fucks up the whole Cold War backdrop that the original Japanese version was going for.

>I never thought Gillian's English voice never actually suited his character.
You definitely expect a cooler sounding voice than the nasally Gillian we got. I had to get used to it, and I think his slightly whiny voice makes the funny scenes better.
>Hey! That's my Neo-Kobe Pizza!!! =(((
>>3240725
And it's a difference between the Sega CD version and the Japanese version. That's the topic of the thread right? Defensive much?

Someone translated the MSX2 version.

Would probably be worth playing just to see the original low-color dithered graphics. Ideally on a composite CRT.

sega cd for comparison

If you didn't know, both Policenauts and Snatcher borrow heavily from very famous American films. Snatchers were originally pretty much identical to Terminators
![Snatcher-GIF[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/WdidO5s.gif "Snatcher-GIF[1].gif")
Then made more legally distinct when an American release started to be planned so you might see more of those more flagrant rip-offs in early versions if you're really paying attention. Same is true for Policenauts.

I really want to play this but the scc+ music doesn't work with my flash cart
>>3241636
Go watch invasion of the body snatchers and blade runner bro
>>3241650
Yeah I'm aware, The bodysnatchers thing is a pretty light touch but there's lots more lifted material than just that too.
>>3241612
>that place was originally named "Joy Division"
That's great. Shame they changed it.
>>3241636
Is anyone ever surprised when Kojima straight up lifts things from American movies?
>>3239809
I heard it came about because the voice acting sessions were done with the actors all together, so they had better chemistry and could play off each other like doing a play rather than just isolated line readings
>>3241846
I mean, it's a music reference versus philosophy reference. Hardly a loss, just different.

Entire concept of Snatcher is ripoff of Blade Runner in the first place.
>>3242531
Yes and Policenauts is basically Lethal Weapon. Still good games though.
>>3242734
I was a bit disappointed by Policenauts, from the evoking cover art I seen of the game before playing it, I was expecting some amazing space epic.
It ended up being an alright story but nothing like I imagined.
With Snatched I was disappointed because I went into it fully knowing I was going to get on Blade Runner: the game.
>>3242741
was not disappointed*
