Which Version Is Best?

[TEKTORO]

World Tour looks the same whether it is PS1 or N64. I've played it on PS1 and only seen it on N64. It's a matter of controller preference at this point. Either way, it is a spot on arcade port.

Thanks! I will probably just end up getting both versions anyway!

I just Pm'd prfsnl_gmr about this, but in case you guys didn't know Rampage Total Destruction for the PS2 has all the Rampage games on 1 disc. Although its on my trade list its pretty good and wouldn't mind keeping to play with my kids if it doesn't get snagged!

And for the most recent inquiry about Wolfenstein I agree with most, besides PC the xbox version is the best console version and supports lan, who needs online servers! Don't forget to hold down your triggers and click you analog sticks for HD mode during the xbox system setting screen.

Interesting tektoro I didn't know you can hold down the Triggers and click the analog sticks to access HD mode in Return to Castlewolfenstein Tides of War got to try that sometime.....

Yeah if you don't have the PC version the xbox version is the port of the game. Lan, tunnel software support, and splitscreen albeit it being choppy as hell is still a fun old school shooter and better than the PS2 version.

How about Spec Ops: The Line?

Any differences between the 360 or PS3 versions, excluding the controller?

Seems like the 360 performs better. http://www.lensoftruth.com/head2head-sp ... -analysis/

Is this true? I know that the PS2 requires some tricks like these to get certain games to run in HD, but I thought that the Xbox only required you to change some of the video settings...

Yes when you start your Xbox with no game in you can press both triggers and click both analog sticks all at the same time to set your Xbox from standard def to high def resolutions. You will notice the difference right away, I think you also need component cables too. I learned this info from CRTGamer.

I will try it tonight!

Well i'm sure it's been said but I think every system has pro's and con's. Like how the SNES has better sound then the Genesis for instance. At least to me that's how it sounds. Take Doom...better on the SNES.

I don't often buy the same game but for a different system. But I have been because I'v heard how sometimes nothing but a few graphics change while other times the whole game can be different.

I can't remember all the games I have right now so...yeah. But it just depends on the system...some play better then others because of the controls, some sound better and some look better.

I do know that I'll always pick PS2 games over Xbox games...I just love the controls on the PS2 so smooth and easy...Xbox just feels clunky.

In general, yes, your average SNES game is probably going to sound better than your average Gensis game. BUT, I think the absolute best sounding stuff on the Genesis is on par with, if not better than the best sounding stuff on the SNES, especially if you have one of the earlier models with the nice audio circuit and a good sound system.

I wouldn't be so set in stone with SNES vs Genesis there. The differences between multiplatform games there are 10x more unique than anything we see today. Genesis having a better color palette in many cases and slightly different resolutions, the sound cards can make the experience completely different alone, the controls, and many games had tons of changes between versions. Can't help but think of Earthworm Jim big time here, the Genesis version is more colorful and has a better framerate, has a level not in the SNES version (that nasty intestines stage), and every stage has unique music when the SNES version recycled Junk City for Down the Tubes, etc. So yeah, that's just one of many examples. Maybe there's some very identical cases, but the SNES and Genesis were so different it's cool to look at both versions of stuff across the two.

And yeah, sound... apples and oranges. I vastly prefer the SNES in the end myself, but in a technical sense the SNES could never pull this off. Not even MMX was that metal. And the Genesis could never pull this off.
