/vr/ - Retro Games

>Also reminder that the Mega Drive game is greater than the Super Nintendo game.

Only the sprite animations, everything else is better on SNES.

Music is nice in both.

>Only the sprite animations,

And the level design, the level sizes, the music, and the fact that you can actually fight instead of being limited to hopping on enemies heads.

SNES version has more detailed backgrounds (but they are WAY smaller), and a more interesting Jafar fight.

>level design

Disagree, more platforming-focused level design is better than maze-like level design.

>music

I dunno, I really like the Capcom soundtrack too, but I'll give you the Virgin one is just as good, can't decide which one is better

About the fighting/hopping, well, Aladdin uses acrobatic moves to "fight" in the move, he doesn't use a sword to fight guards and stuff. And the sword isn't really useful, you're better off spamming apples on the Virgin game, they're more effective.
Also, the bouncing mechanics are more satisfying than the regular/so-so controls of the Virgin game.
Also, you can kick enemies on Capcom's game if you're swinging, also like Aladdin does in the movie.

Reminder that /vr/ chose the Virgin game as the superior Aladdin.

>doesn't even have IP duplication check

You know how easy it is to rig these polls, right?

Anyway, the difference isn't even that big. It'd say both games are pretty good. I had both as a kid and I stand by my opinion and arguments that Capcom made a better overall game, but Virgin also did a great job, especially in presentation.

>>3496908
Aladdin makes way more sense as a platformer. Sorry Genesis fans but the SNES version is way better.

>>3496963
>>doesn't even have IP duplication check

Huh?

I like the SNES version better, but the genny version is still good, and looks and sounds better than the SNES version.

haven't played the prototype yet

>>3496941
>Also, the bouncing mechanics are more satisfying than the regular/so-so controls of the Virgin game.

Chopping up shit with a scimitar is more satisfying than the bouncy bouncy happy happy time of the Capcom game.

>>3496949
The Virgin game is for virgins.

>>3497041
The Capcuck game is for weebcucks.

>>3496941
>sword isn't really usefull
lol you use your sword for attacking, start a combo (A + up), deflect projectiles, defend against falling jars...

>all this Capcom damage control

Just admit it, you Nintendildos got the shittier game.

>>3496908
Virgin game: best animation and sprites
Capcom game: better at everything else

Aladdin console war should be a bannable offense.

Someone posts about something actually interesting (the Aladdin prototype) alongside a flamewar bait. /vr responds almost solely to the flame war bait.

For as much as some people on here (and elsewhere, of course) get their panties in a wad over undumped prototypes, when an actually interesting one makes its way to the internet it sure seems hard to get people to care more about it than even petty game wars.

>>3497298
This and even then the sprites I would say look better since they have a lot more details.

>>3497298
>>3497504
The Virgin game looks worse and the levels are neither as fun nor as interesting. Having a sword does not make it interesting.

>>3497016
I would agree if the hit detection wasn't so bad. The sword constantly clips through enemies and rather than quickly vaulting over them, you have to waste time hitting them with your fucked up hitbox? And if the enemy also has a sword? Have fun mashing attack while watching the beautiful sprite work freak out in a hit detection mess. In theory, sword gameplay should make the game more interesting? In practice? Virgin half-assed gameplay like usual.

>>3497556
Once again, it's not the hitboxes, it's just that some enemies can deflect your attack due to parrying.

>>3496908
>Also reminder that the Mega Drive game is greater than the Super Nintendo game

You really had to ruin the thread by adding that

>>3497594
Then why am I, and others apparently, unaware that parrying is what's going on? The animation for it is terrible; the swords clip through each other. And even with that, it still doesn't make the game any fun or the hitboxes any less broken on normal enemies.

>australia-kun defending an american game

This is new. Although it makes sense since the japanese one is only on Nintendo, heh.

>>3497736
What? Virgin is UK. You faggots obsessed with this Australian are retarded.

>>3497809

Aladdin was developed by Virgin USA along with Disney Software which is also in USA.

USA USA USA

>>3497816
David Perry is British. Fail more yank.

>>3497845

There's more to a game than just the animation digitalizing programmer. :^)

>>3497850
Still mad you got told earlier in the Treasure thread, huh?

>>3497864

>he still doesn't realize

Anybody here actually bother to play the prototype?

Anything you think was better than the final game? I find it amusing that they removed the bra and swapped Genie's bimbo gag with a shooting Iago gag, but overall the prototype seems a bit frustrating. Regular guards take too long to kill, tons of apples to destroy the Cave statues, seems to be a bit too easy to fall and lose a lot of stage progress.

It is interesting to see the sword swallowing enemy, but I can see why he was... cut. I guess there aren't really many places that could make good use of his horizontal projectile so he kinda wound up as a less interesting knife juggler.

SNES Aladdin is a generic platformer, while Genny Aladdin is an interesting action/adventure game.

I mean, come on, show me a part from Genny Aladdin that's as dull as this filler stage from the SNES game.

>>3499343

>he doesn't enjoy flying with Jazmin on the magic carpet

Literal homo. I bet you can't even get all the rubies.

>interesting action/adventure game

What does it have of "adventure"? It's just a generic western maze-like platformer with bad physics.

>>3496975
You can use 3G on your phone and constantly vote, or constantly change your Ip through vpn or whatever. It's been so long since I've attempted such a thing.

>>3499362
>he enjoys an easy autoscroller
Literal casual. I bet you can't 1cc Genesis Aladdin.

>maze-like level design
"Mazes" actually imply exploration, ya dingas.

>bad physics.
Now you are just making stuff up.

>>3499369
>Trying this hard

It's okay. We all know it's POSSIBLE to cheat he voting system, just incredibly impractical.

Also

Poorfag. No wonder you're so buttblasted

>>3497908
Welp /vr/ sucks now, what'd you expect? its full of lamers, australia-kuns, AUTISMO GUYS (not actual autists but people who cry AUTISMO at everything they dont like) and the like.

>>3499398
It's gonna get even worse when the mods start allowing PS2 and GBA.

Look let's make this a fair comparison.

Who does Aladdin think he is? Mario?

>>3499449
Any game that uses continues can be 1cc'd, dumb arcade poseur.

Link?

So why does Genesis alladin look so terrible? Surely it's not hardware limitations. Did Nintendo engage in some behind the scenes trickery?

>>3499483
SNES is capable of more colours. Other than that, the MD version looks better, especially in terms of animation.

>>3499376

>using the term "casual" unironically

At any rate, I'd rather be a "casual" than be a homosexual.

>1cc Genesis Aladdin

Spam apples all day err day, it's not that hard. You still can't get all the rubies on the Jazmin carpet level on SNES, lol.

>exploration

You're high.

>making stuff up

It's not a secret that Dave Perry's games have wonky hitboxes.

>>3496916
>Only the sprite animations
The hell with this meme. Animations on the Genesis game are obnoxious as fuck.

>>3496908
Umm, no. Genesis Aladdin is a clunky and generic platformer. SNES Aladdin is a fun platformer with fluid controls.

Genesis Aladdin has far superior level design if you think it's maze like and get lost you are honestly retarded. I beat that shit in monochrome on the Gameboy when I was 7 years old. The capcom game is some lame hop n bop platformer watered down wannabe strider.

[Spoiler] even the Nintendo fan boy on gamesack knows that [/spoiler]

>>3499620

Nobody gets lost on Aladdin, it's just boring.

>nitendo fan boy on game sack

He's not a "nintendo fanboy", he acts like one because the segautist needs a "sidekick" to balance his own autism. Dave likes vidya in general and is also a huge sonygger.

>>3499634
Yah I love Dave he's a total bro he does admit genesis Aladdin is superior. Snes fan boys will never admit that a genesis game is better ever though even when it's so blatantly obvious like with earthworm jim.

>>3499586
>Jasmine dating sequence
It's sad you rely on videogames to fulfill your need for an actual relationship.

>>3499643

Nobody is a "snes fanboy"; I played both games back then, I had both consoles. I just think the Capcom game is better, but I do admit the Virgin game has great sprite animation and overall good presentation, but no, you won't convince me that it has good level design or good gameplay.

Nintendrones and Segautists should all die, they can't discuss video games because they can't get over the console war. The only reason you defend the Virgin game so much is because you're a Sega fanboy and you hold a grudge with Nintendo fanboys. Stupid.

>>3499620
You beat Genesis Aladdin on a Gameboy? Wow, that's some feat of emulation right there.

>>3499586
>Spam apples all day err day, it's not that hard.

Yeah, try that on Escape from the Cave and see how far it gets you.

>>3499379

Changing your IP is impractical? How long did it take for you to ever use a computer?

>>3499464
Weird, I've never put a credit into my sega.

>>3499651
I grew up with NES and then got a snes and didn't realize the genesis was actually the better system until I was 18 which was 8 years ago. The genesis just has the more difficult games that were more like the nes games I loved. I didn't play the genesis aladdin till more recently I actually grew up with and loved the gameboy version

>>3499663
It's the same game

>>3497295
well, the BGs in the SNES version are more detailed, no doubt about that...

>>3499586
>At any rate, I'd rather be a "casual" than be a homosexual.
I'm not homo, I just find the level boring. Cool assumption, though.

>Spam apples all day err day, it's not that hard.
Only works for the early levels, nice try.

>You still can't get all the rubies on the Jazmin carpet level on SNES, lol.
I'd rather not replay that piece of shit.

>You're high.
Nope. Genesis Aladdin has tons of secrets in its labyrinthine levels.

>It's not a secret that Dave Perry's games have wonky hitboxes.
Sounds like you are just making up excuses for being shit at games.

Did SNES Gargoyles prototype ever dump?

>>3501313
>Only works for the early levels, nice try.

Apples is the best way to deal with Jafar at the end.

>Sounds like you are just making up excuses for being shit at games.

Dave Perry's games (Cool Spot, EWJ, MDK) all have pretty cool aesthetic ideas, animations and atittude, so to speak, but the actual game design is so-so, I never thought of any of his games as masterpieces, or polished in terms of design.
They're still serviceable games though, don't get me wrong, just not as polished as the kind of games japanese companies like Capcom or Konami made.
