PCE, SNES and Genesis, screen comparison.

Someone needs to produce a translation patch.

I agree I would be behind this idea 100%.

I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game. I so need this game.

...did I mention I really need this game?

Thanks guies for this thread. It's really helpful to make french forum members understand the silliness of their statements.

...Actually, there are so many french guies who think they know about the PCE. You woudln' t believe it.

...The members nearly laughed at me, saying I was saying bullshit. There are so many guies like them, it's so irritating. I don't know if you read french enough to undertsand how horrible it is for me to discuss with these guies who don't want to understand and to admit that they're wrong.

...So basically, those who've been into the PCE for 18 years are wellknowers but beside that, you have millions of ignorants who, just because they bought a PCE 2 months ago with 2 games think they're part of the elite.

Those Legend of Xanadu screens are perfect for the hardcore PCE fans from France who view the PCE as 'just an 8-bit' system and not really 16-bit quality-


                     NES            =           8-BIT           =            PCE








Instead of comparing the original Bonk/PC Genjin to a top tier SNES game, here is LoXII matched up to some "real" 16-bit games-
 

                     16-BIT                                -                   8-BIT                   -                                16-BIT

Seiken Denstetsu 3/"Secret of Mana 2". awack posted a bunch of pics (including that one) from it in this thread 10(?) pages back.

I prefer the PCE version the way it is. But if it a PCE version was made more hack 'n slashy like the Sega and SFC versions, I'd prefer it to be done like Xanadu 1's action scenes. The Sega-CD version is kinda bland in comparison.

Ahhhhhhhh must have missed that, thanks Tiger

Well when i had a sega-cd that was my frist version to play of popful mail.Then i get a pce again years later and i find it to be a throw back.While it's gameplay is like Ys i don't know i just prefer the sega-cd version more.Btw i know now that pce version of popful mail is a port of the PC88 version,but i guess i wanted that hack'n'slash gameplay.

[awack]

Took some shots of popful mail for the super nintendo, kinda looks like a better looking version of Ys III.

I got to the 3rd or 4th level, and from what i have seen, its a bit graphically mundane in comparison, in my oppinion.

offtopic: I like how the SNES version names the levels in the upper right corner.

[shubibiman]

Hey, it's seems like the SNES version is a mix of the PCE games.

Thanks, Awack. I've beaten the Sega CD version of this game, which is wonderful, IMHO.

I know the PCE is a very capable system and certainly was ahead of its time at its release, but some of the games shown in the recent screenshots really need to be seen in motion to appreciate more.

The one that caught my eye in particular is Secret of Mana 2, yes it looks great in these pics...But it looks far better in motion. the game is just a masterpiece for what the Snes could do at the end of its timespan and in competant hands [squaresoft]. Id wager that against any of the PCE or Genesis games it is being compared to in terms of animation, graghics and color.

Besides that I am admittedly a Squaresoft fanboy [of the snes games atleast...I didnt like anything beyond FF7 from them] so dont take my post as a knock against the PCE. I just find that Squaresoft's quality during the SNES's heyday was outstanding so its hard to compete with that. It would have been nice to see Square give it a shot like Konami did with Drac-X [great game and looked good to] that way a comparison would be more fair.


In order of Quality I would rate it like this for the last set of pics [page 50+]..
Snes-Secret of mana2>PCE LoX2> SegaCD pics [dont know the name of that game, popful mail?].

[nectarsis]

As an ex-Square fanboy (till I saw teh light)..I still like a few of their games.  You say the game needs to be seen in motion..same could be said of LOX I or II.   The point of the comparison is to show that the "8bit" PCE can hang..and by MANY accounts trounce the "16-bit" heavy hitters.  Considering the SNES  was the "superior" console, it should EASILY wipe the floor with the PCE games.  While Seiken Densetsu 3 looks decent LOX II KILLS it easily...the comparison is more than fair.
