It actually looks AND plays better than the NES version.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43rb3QOWkhc
>>12795180>looksNot judging from that screenshot
European computer systems are truly one of the saddest things in gaming. Just absolute poverty level garbage.

>>12795180notice how you didn't say sounds better kek
not playing your fanfiction shit. buy an ad.
>>12795189>C64>Europeanyou're as intelligent as you're knowledgeable
>>12795202>as you're knowledgeableGMS
>>12795180>looks better
Even after literal decades of technological innovation, the difference in quality from Nintendo hardware/software in the 80's is still palpable. It could be 100 years in the future and C64 games will still suck.
>>12795187I'm gonna agree with this anon.Still a cool port, I love it when people do this kinda shit
>>12795228I don't. If you think it's cool you really need to go back to >>>/reddit/
Stop liking Nintendo already
>>12795189>c64>european
>>12795239>lolcow sex offender that owns 0 computers or consoles has an opinion
>>12795180>Looks and plays better
>>12795223C64 is basically the NES with worse controls and graphics but occasionally slightly better music. Not the worst platform ever but compared to consoles it was still an inferior experience
>>12795283>with worse controlssame "controls". what the fuck are you talking about? c64 it has less buttons>and graphicsnes can't do most of the shit c64 is capable of. not sure where you loser retards get your facts from. not knowing anything about either system isn't helping you.>slightly betterfar superior. higher fidelity since c64 musicians were stuck using an embarrassing sound chip designed by people that never had to listen to or make any music.>>12795283>he owns 0 consoles or computers
>>12795228You say that like it's some recent homebrew port, when it's really a rather then contemporary C64 port by an actual dev studio. It's literally "All we have is a C64 and I want to play Castlevania"
>>12795286C64 blows that tendie right out of the water.
>>12795509>some recent homebrew portThose are great now, people are cranking out games that could never be made 40+ years ago.
This thread would be better if it was more like, hey guys look at Castlevania on C64, it's not bad for an outsourced port of the era!Instead, this seems more like a Nintendo fanboy falseflag, claiming the obviously wrong to generate engagement and people not appreciating this port for what it is, but instead, since the focus of the thread seems to be "better than the original", it's bound to generate negative responses, mocking the C64.Also, every time I see "tendie" instead of the usual nintenfag or similar, I think it's Nintendo fanboys falseflagging to make Anti Nintendo people look bad
Is this the new spam template?
>>12795881It actually does look better but you need a CRT.
That's not even the DOS versionhttps://youtu.be/BnXMvsApM4g?si=LfNDIP9S1o51_VlC
>>12795198Actually that video has poor SID emulation. It sounds great on a real SID chip, especially seeing as how the music is only using two voices (third is SFX).Here it is on a real SID.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QP7ZNlQUN4
>>12795960I'm trying to appreciate it but sadly it's just too fucked up, the tempo is all over the place.I could excuse things like music stopping during screen transitions as hardware limitation, or lack of boss music, but the actual music programming just isn't up to standards and is not faithful to the original.I know probably the programmer wasn't a musician himself, and there's probably better renditions to Castlevania on SID made by fans in more recent years, but this is not it
>>12795180>plays better than the NES versionThe gears don't even move.
>>12796001They do on a 1702
>>12796001those gears don't move on NES eitherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gev1_Qwjze0
>>12795180Definitely doesn't looked better so I doubt it plays better. Still cool.
>>12796130It's so much smoother than the NES version.
>>12795180>looks AND plays better than the NES versionAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>12795921The DOS version is pretty decent, after playing the NES version most of the levels are pretty intact which was not at all like a lot of dos conversions.
>>12795189>retro gaming "expert"yep, thats a nintardo
>>12795180
What a pathetic bunch of idiots you are. Why do I still go to this board
>>12796721Fuck off
>>12795198SID chip blew NES's sound out of the fucking water, but it depends significantly on how they translated the music itself.
>>12795223Last Ninja 2 sold more copies than Zelda 2. Cope and seethe nintendie.
All my life I thought the rival of Commodore 64 was the Spectrum, I'm now learning C64 fans are fervent anti-Nintendo instead
>>12798473I think we just have the misfortune of having some (not all, thankfully) particularly deranged C64fags around these parts. In general they're a cool bunch that appreciate other 8bit systems.
>>12796721Yeah, we all ask us that>Why doesn't he leave already??
>>12795768>>12795239
>>>12795768>>>12795239
>>12798537It looks good on CRT and it plays smoother than NES Castlevania somehow.
>>12798878>smootherYou baited me into actually trying it.It's bad. There's not even a need to shit on this port, it was probably made by 1 guy who didn't even get support from Konami, but with this thread you're only making C64 fans look deranged.
>>12798891How is it bad? What are you playing it on?
>>12798910Emulated it quickly using vice.Every time enemies appear on screen it goes slowmo, it's only smooth when Simon is alone on the screen.It's a weird kind of bait to claim one of those ports of japanese game classics is "better than the original", maybe the fact it's so obvious was what made me fall for it
>>12798925They are doing something with waiting until sprites are available.Today a much better Castlevania could be made on the C64 given all the tricks people learned in the last 40 years. Better than NES for sure.
>>12798929Alrighty
>>12798930New Wolfenstein 3D port is good. Sonic, Mario, even Neo-Geo Puzzle Bobble. With paddle controller.C64 has Eye of the Beholder now. Soon C64 will have everything.
>>12798461Last Ninja sucks, it's not a good game.Cope is clinging to its irrelevant sales numbers.
>>12798975uh huh, congrats, enjoy sonic and mario anon! anywya
>>12799059Point is with work, people have found incredible tricks that work on (some) C64s and this makes modern games possible.The machine architecture is capable of using sub-processors too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5uR3-0Rz3ISame as SuperFX.
>>12795189>European computer systems are truly one of the saddest things in gaming. Just absolute poverty level garbage.Idiot
>>12795275Amiga is also an American console, and that took me by surprise given its software.
>>12795223NES was made for scrolling games with sprites. It was difficult to get it to do much else. C64 was a general purpose computer with sprites and a large number of graphics and text and mixed modes, it wasn't aimed at making arcade game ports and side-scrollers like the NES but it has been made to do them and in some cases, very very well. But it can do many things the NES can't do at all.C64 is a much more powerful platform and refinements in technique and exploits of "bugs" has driven it far beyond the current NES state of the art. Nowadays people are making 24-bit color demos for C64. How the fuck? But they're doing it*.* only properly works on CRT
