PCE, SNES and Genesis, screen comparison.

The first boss is as far as i can get in valis III for the pce before it locks up, i took the earlier shots on another comp...if some one else has a shot of the second boss below for the pc engine maybe they can add it.

Isn't that first boss missing the chain of his ball & chain weapon in the Turbo/PCE version?

The PCE boss at the top of the tower is a simple guy in a cloak with glowing eyes.

More SCD shots...

Valis III on the PCE/TG is valistly...groooaannn...better than the MD/Genny port.

I couldn't disagree more.  The PCE is a little sharper with some extra details here and there, but vastly?  I know the Genesis version plays much better than the PCE version.

*ahem*

Thats, VALISTLY better.



In any event, I own the Genesis and PCE ones.  I like them both, and neither is truly "better" graphically.  Both have better and worse parts...

The PCE one is better to me overall because it controls better, and the music and panty shots are better  .

if it was on Sega CD, that one might have ended up out doing the PCE CD one.

I must confess that I blatantly exploited an opportunity for a cheesy pun at the expense of the Genny.  :-"

[Arkhan]

Cheesy doesn't begin to describe it's punniness, or its awesomeness.

[termis]

The Genesis version also has much better voice acting.

The "thup-thup-thup-thup" voices of Glames.    I did think that was kinda cool.

edit: crap, I juts realized that the US version of Valis III doesn't quite do this well, since it makes that noise every time an alphabet character is displayed on screen.  For the MD version, the Japanese characters come out on screen at a much slower pace, so the thumping noises of each character actually makes it feel like he has a heavier voice.  On top of that, the US one just doesn't look right as it also has the mouth on sync with each alphabet, which is way too fast.

Hmm... I can find the US version intro, but not the JP version.  Uhwell...

I missed that!  I just thought you failed hard at spelling.

  Well, it's been known to happen.

Here are some of the newer Valis III shots matched up, including a couple from sega-16-

[Joe Redifer]

The PCE version is a touch dimmer but that is because it matches the dark, emotional tone of the game.

there is nothing dark and emotional about panty shots at random.

[spenoza]

That all depends on who's wearing the panties.
