Why?

Who cares?

We should never forget that the PS1 version is the favorite of the creators

Is Mr.Bones.

Because ever since the rule change the board got a userbase replacement, so now we just have people who grew up with 6th and 7th gen, and the only people from the old /vr/ that remained are guys like the Anti Saturn spammer
>>

I mention it every time.

It's a Prime-like before Metroid Prime, Anon.

>the PS1 version is the favorite of the creators
The PS1 version turned all the wide open spaces into narrow corridors and removed bomb jumping which stopped sequence breaking.
>>
>>12439928
Exhumed is a title for Euro faggots. PowerSlave is way more badass.
>>
>>12440035
I always assumed it wasn't called that in Europe because of Iron Maiden's lawyers
>>
>>12439928
It has been mentioned quite often since Nightdive made a remaster
>>
>>12440035
That's just Iron Maiden

>Although the final PlayStation layouts were slightly more confined overall, they were also more refined and had better balance in my opinion. The process of revising the levels presented the chance to add more polish to the flow and pacing of the game.

Saturnbros... our response?

That's not Dragon Force.

It comes up a lot, we just call it Powerslave in America

You consider that a flaw?

but it is?

Shiturn fags never shut up about this meme game
>>
>>12439928
I'm a weeb and I love shooters (Doom, Quake, Duke, Wolf, etc), and while I still haven't gotten around to playing this one, I've always heard it was quite good, so I've been meaning to play it some day.
>>

>creators

Liar

>>12440136
When the devs discovered bomb jumping in the Saturn version and what it could do, they had 1 week left of dev before shipping the game. Instead of "fixing" it, they not only left it in but they spent free overtime to add secret places that could only be reached with it.
Meanwhile the PSX version is "no fun allowed".
The PSX version also has less smooth framerate.
>>
>>12440635
I'm pretty sure the remaster keeps the bomb jumps
>>
>>12440951
>shitdive mememaster

Didn't ask, don't care
>>
>>12439928
Bug Too! is better.
>>12439935
It doesn't matter, it is objectively worse, just like Quake on Saturn compared to Quake on N64.
Good thing that we got the Powerslave Saturn source code, so we can get a port on modern platforms at some point.
>>
>>12440951
It does, and favors the Saturn levels because they're better built around the game physics.
>>
can't do that on playstation

There are a couple more sequence breaking tricks that you can only do on Saturn

>>12439928
>hey bro it's a really cool doom clone
cool. I'll never play it
they should decompile it. maybe then I'd give it a go
>saturn emulation
literally have never felt compelled to play anything on this console except PDS and even then I only played for 20 minutes
>>
>>12441142
It's a good remaster faggot
And I'm glad the levels have checkpoints now
>>
>>12442074
oh it's on GOG. So it's not even exclusive. why does this thread exist
>>
>>12442074
>>12442078
The remastered version for PC and other consoles only came out a few years ago and it's not really a doom clone, there was originally another version on PC but it was completely different game with simpler levels

You should really not talk about things you have no idea about
>>
>>12442074
>they should decompile it
Source code is literally available.

>>12439928
From what I understand, the Switch and PS4 remake took the best of the PS1 and Saturn games and rendered the OGs moot
>>
>>12442216
That should be 'just' the engine and not the individual games code, so they'd still need to do something about that.

>>12442083
>simpler levels

I wouldn't say that. The DOS version has plenty of fuck huge levels which also use more effects than the console ones. Some levels take almost half an hour to complete even if you know what you're doing.
>>

I remember reading that despite the repo name, it got Powerslave game specific code as well.
>>
Really cool unique game. Powerslave and Turok 2 are the progenitors of Metroid Prime
>>
>>12439928

Played with a friend and it was a really cool game - Saturn was allowed to shine there.
>>
>>12439978
Even if you grew up with 5th gen you're probably too young to be here.

Fucking retard

>>12444172
>calls someone a retard
>still can't explain why the KEX version is better
dumb retard
The remaster literally hybridizes the PC and console versions instead of preserving either one properly. Movement and lighting feel completely off compared to the original builds.

>I prefer the Saturn version.
>Oh yeah? Well the creator said THIS! Don't you feel stupid now?!
>No, I still prefer the Saturn version.
Who gives a fuck what Brian McNeely thinks? Plenty of artists, in the video game industry and otherwise, are retards who don't understand their own work or why people liked it. George Lucas thinks the original Star Wars trilogy is better with a bunch of terrible CGI added to shove in prequel stuff.
>>
>>12444680
It's the best version of 2 games
>>
Why does Nightdive make faggots here seethe so much?
>>
>>12444743
Because they try to preserve old games on modern systems when according to auitsts here you should just play the originals on console with their clunky controls
>>
>>12444748
>preservation

You fell for the marketing too
>>
>>12444748
>preserve
>make arbitrary changes just because they felt like it
Pick one.
>>
>>12444748
>preserve old games on modern systems
Yes, that's why most of their recent "preservation efforts" have been games that could be updated in about 5 minutes thanks to community patches.

Or how many of their older releases haven't actually been updated and still need the user to find fixes to get shit running.
>>
>>12439928
Its one of the handful of games that is significantly better on the Saturn than on the PS1, which itself makes it an interesting novelty.

Its also a pretty fun game, if you're into retro shooters.

>bitching when they make any changes
>bitching when they make no changes

You don't even know what you want
>>
>>12444743
Because they are now popular among FPS YouTubers so we have to hate them
Their Turok remasters are the best way to play the games now
>>
>>12440102
In general the PS is by far the better console. That said I still like the Saturn version of Powerslave better idgaf if everyone involved in its production likes the PS version more its just not as good to me. The changes they made for the PS version all made it worse. The exclusive levels in the Saturn version are better. Satun framerate and draw distance is better. Sequence breaks are good.

Actually, I do know what I want, you retarded nigger. I know I don't want to be charged the price of a decent mid-budget game for community patch-level changes. I want the original, cheaper version still up as an option if I don't care about the shit they do. I don't want kikes doing the bare minimum to "update a game to modern standards" and then not touch it for another 5 years until they can sell another, more expensive, version. If I'm paying 30 dollars for a game I could have gotten cheap as shit (or legally for free), it better be like the C&C remaster where they stuffed every bit that they could find into the thing to justify its cost (even if I don't like most of the "modern" additions).

>>12445636
I don't really mind the Turok remasters since the only alternative there is emulation (specifically N64) which can have its own issues. They're at least bringing in something that I can believe took real work.
>>
>>12445907
Turok 1 and 2 had PC versions in the 90's.
>>
>>12445907
Just wait for a sale then
I agree their Dark Forces and Outlaws remater was pointess though

>>12446031
Those PC ports were not very good
