/vr/ - Retro Games

IIRC the PS2 ports have inherent lag, probably Resurrection on PS3 is your best bet.
The only downside of it is that it doesn't support standard definition if you want to play on CRT.
My favorite version of VSav is on Saturn

hmmm does darkstalkers 3 in darkstalkers resurrection has this song?
https://youtu.be/v2xxrs8i2bM

i love that song

>but since darkstalkres 1 and 2 are basically the same game
They aren't you secondary subhuman. If you just care about single player get the ps2 collection. It has more games and it adds in the removed characters into vampire savior. Like anon said there is some lag but it's not major. It doesn't matter unless you're practicing for a tournament or some shit. Resurrection has better ports in terms of performance but not accuracy. There was slowdown in some stages in vampire hunter. Mainly sasquatch's stage cause there's a bunch of yeti's in the background but they fixed that. Resurrection has online play but you will absolutely not find anyone if you go online. The games are on both fightcade and that new capcom collection. I haven't played either in a long time and don't care about extras so do your research for that.

>>9123504
Ds1 and 2 aren’t the same game. Not even close

>>9123536
Nope. The psp and dreamcast games are not faithful ports. They're their own frankenstein thing and I think they use savior 2 as a base.

>>9123550
>>9123548
yes they are, casual shits. try telling me that the story for ds1 is, and what the story for ds2 is
the answer is gonna btfo you to pieces

>>9123552
fuck i just want that song

Is the ps2 version only on Japanese?

>>9123563
>that
what*

>>9123563
No they’re not. You sound like a button masher faggot.

>>9123576
wat

>>9123578
Ds1 and ds2 are different games faggot

>>9123563
>you casual shits
Says the fag who plays for the singleplayer. Just get the dreamcast version then. It has the best intro
https://youtube.com/watch?v=LYP_-v1ucfs

>>9123570
Yeah

>>9123580
wat?
>>9123582
says the fag who is unable to tell what the story for ds1 and ds2 are (since they are different games, as 2 random whos in 4chan claim)

>>9123582
>It has the best intro
It's just a slideshow of artwork and some sprite animations from the intros of the original games.
I prefer the more crisp sprite-based intros of the originals over this.

>>9123587
Nigger nobody plays fighting games for the plot

>>9123583
Just the menus or the arcade endings too?

>>9123587
Nigger you're trying to measure epeen over plot in a fighting game? I don't fucking care that all the ending slideshows are the same.
>>9123592
That's pretty much every arcade intro. The tune is way better, the arcade opening tracks kind of suck.

>>9123609
Everything

>>9123614
successfully hit a nerve after all
"casual shit"

>>9123614
>That's pretty much every arcade intro.
Not complete, and cluttered with these white background art slides. The actual sprite-based originals just look crisper.
As for the tunes, this one sounds just like in the same music style as the intros for 2 and 3, but without the more crude synth sound of the originals... I dunno if I like it more. Still think vampire 1 has the best music overall, more somber and gothic and less techno.

I think what you mean is that the game doesn't support a 4:3 aspect ratio, because all games on a PS3 work on a CRT, you'll just have letterboxing.

An interesting fact that isn't relevant to much, but Mass Effect 3 on PS3 does support a 4:3 aspect ration, but on 360 it does not, forcing letterboxing. I just find that odd. Most games either support it or don't across all platforms. You do get occasional blocked features, though, such as no splitscreen multiplayer in Minecraft, but generally everything works well as long as you can read the text.

Guilty Gear XX AC Plus R is one of the dumbest in that it's 4:3 aspect only, but has side bars for 16:9 and then only supports 16:9, so when playing that on a CRT, you have black bars on all sides.

>>9123725
I meant it doesn't support 240p, so yeah you can play it on a CRT but it will not look ideal.

>>9123736
Vampire collection isn't 240p either

>>9123563
>story
Fucking kek.
DS2 has more playable characters, has more moves for old ones (one DS1 character even lacked something as basic as a crouching medium kick) and also a non-depleting meter for supers. And those are just some surface level changes.

>>9123504
Assuming you have access to a PC that was made in the last decade you should really just play it for free on Fightcade. You can find matches with real people that way too.
I've played both the PS2 and PS3 versions and preferred the PS3 version. I even used to be able to get online matches with people in Vampire Savior regularly enough, but that was years ago.
If you want my two cents, I think the best console version of Vampire Savior is on Saturn.

>>9123806
Yeah best home ports are on Saturn otherwise stick to the originals on emulators

>>9123648
>>9123892
What're the skill levels like on Fightcade? Can I fight fellow shitters or am I just going to my shit stomped every match?

>>9123563

Congratulations, you played yourself

>plays game fro the story

You're going to get raped

>>9123563
>try telling me that the story for ds1 is, and what the story for ds2 is
>the answer is gonna btfo you to pieces
Night Warriors has extra epilogues for all the returning characters though.

>>9123985
They are difficult games to play properly
As in, do proper combos instead of magic series chains, learn how to pushblock properly, the list goes on and every character has something challenging in that sense
Because of the degenerate offense in the game noobs pick it up, get their asshole shredded or trolled and don't come back. But if you ask for tips and grind 3000hrs you can get decent

>>9123985
There are a lot of newbies, intermediate players are actually the true rarity. The thing is combos in darkstalkers are tbe easiest part, litherally chain lights into mediums into sweep, but the game is fuck ridiculous fast too. The nice thing though is that whike fast combos are short so even if you get your ass kicked it never turns into "you can put the controller down and wait for the next match" like MvC.

don't sleep on the Saturn port of Vampire Hunter.
Sure, it's not arcade perfect like Vampire Savior is, it's missing a few frames of animation (though not many) and it has loading times, but it makes up by having perfect gameplay and being able to customize the game to have the Darkstalkers 1 color palettes and music (you can even mix them, like DS1 music and Hunter colors or viceversa), and you can actually get rid of the loading times by selecting a mode where the character screen select gets a simplified version, a great tradeoff.

>>9126503
>Vampire Hunter
i bet you call megaman 'rockman' too you teriyaki-infused cucked homosexual

>>9126509
fuck you I'm not a cuck

>>9126509
The thing is if you just say "Night Warriors" you'll get people who think you're talking about the first game because its subtitle is also "The Night Warriors." Capcom's handling of this series' naming has always been a clusterfuck.

>>9126509
Like the other guy said, it's just easier to use the Japanese names. They even sell them with Japanese names over here now.

How could had be?

The PS2 game does have input lag, but the PS3 does naturally drop inputs. I think the first two games are different, as the first one is more about Demitri the vampire, while the second game is more about the hunter Donovan. It is a similar difference between Vamipre Savior and Vampire Hunter 2. For "3", you may like the Resurrection, release since it features new higher resolution Udon character select portraits and higher resolution win quote fonts in addition to achievements and a couple of smoothing options.

>>9123985
You're going to get your guts pushed in by Weeb autistics who play 24/7, sorry to say

>>9123504
Resurrection or get the new Capcom Fighting Collection. It's crazy good.

>>9123520
Casual detected, Savior on Saturn is not playable competitively. Too many changes. Great port though.

>>9123932
No, Resurrection and Fighting Collection are better.

>>9128349
Is this region locked?

>>9129192
>Too many changes.
which ones?

>>9126601
>World of Darkness
That's a new one, which release is this?

>>9123504
>i'm aware the ps2 one has all the actual darkstalkers game
Not quite. The games in the PS2 collection are all implemented as mods of Vampire Savior 2, and lazily at that, and thus have a different gameplay engine plus a bunch of small difference with the originals. It might not matter if you only care about the aesthetics but it's the reason it gets ignored, since it breaks balance in various ways

>>9129201
Look up on gamefaqs, it's a mess.

>>9129646
>mods of Vampire Savior 2
Just set the correct dipswitch setting retard

>>9129648
Just checked, found a comprehensive comparison guide that says it's arcade perfect, doesn't mention any gameplay alterations.

>>9129679
You sweet innocent child, even with the dipswitches set "right" there's a bunch of differences in frame data, like how most characters have lost their dash links, and that's just one issue among many others.

>>9129706
Nah, you're thinking of Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower, while they're talking about Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection which can be made almost arcade perfect

>>9129706
