My brother and I played double Resident Evil!
Yeah, we had both been wanting to rebeat all of the Resident Evil games starting with 1 - Code: Veronica. I got this crazy idea and it ended up being pretty damn fun.
We took two TVs and put them in the same room right next to each other and we both played at the exact same place at the exact same time on different versions. Not only was it damn fun, but you could also see the exact differences in the version. Here's what we played:
I had
Resident Evil - Sega Saturn
Resident Evil 2 - Dreamcast
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis - Dreamcast
Resident Evil Code: Veronica - Dreamcast
My brother had
Resident Evil Director's Cuts - Playstation
Resident Evil 2 - Playstation/N64 (yeah, he switched)
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis - Playstation
Resident Evil Code: Veronica - Playstation 2
Now that I've seen the differences, I can tell you which console they play better on.
Resident Evil is tough to choose. I'd have to say Saturn though. The Playstation version seems to have a few little extra "cutscenes" but the Saturn has a lot less jaggies and smoother in-game graphics. Not to mention it has an extra battle mode after you beat it.
Resident Evil 2 plays best on DC. The character models have been drastically upgraded and the graphics are way smoother than the Playstation. N64 isn't far behind though. It has terrible quality movies, but the in-game graphics are infinately better than Playstation's. Oh, and Dreamcast has a lot of extras. I mean a lot.
Resident Evil 3 plays equally on DC and Playstation. I'd have to say DC wins though. It has VMU support and it has a lot of little extras. The Mercinaries is also unlocked right when you play rather than having to beat the game to unlock it.
Code Veronica is also tough. I think it looks and plays better on DC, not to mention the whole VMU support with life meter is totally cool. Neither of the versions seem to be much different at all. Maybe I'm wrong, but the DC version seems to have the better graphics, although some rooms look more colorful on PS2.

Indeed. When I played through the first RE, I played the Dual Shock Director's Cut version. Not long after that I found a copy of the original (complete with the big old case and manual) for cheap, and I played through that. I like force feedback, but I'd take the original music over a few rumbles anyday.GyroVorbis wrote:Yeah, I agree.
