Playing Resident Evil 2 for the first time, should I do N64 or PS1?

[Anonymous No.6398547]

Dreamcast, the Japanese version

>The Dreamcast version keeps the additions from the original PC release, and incorporates real-time display of the character's condition on the Visual Memory Unit peripheral.[66][67] The Japanese edition of the Dreamcast port was given the subtitle Value Plus and came with a playable demo of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica.

[Anonymous No.6398550]

>>6398547
Or just get the US Dreamcast version that has allt he same additions, just without the Code Veronica demo.

The Gamecube version is good too, as is the PC version with mods.

[Anonymous No.6398551]

>>6398547
It's also the only version to include Nightmare Mode.

[Anonymous No.6398553]

N64 for better controls that are a bit game breaking but terrible video quality, PS1 for better sound and audio. Dreamcast for 480i

PC version with the highest quality backgrounds and FMVs available. Can be patched into English fairly easily, just requires a .dll file (also adds other goodies like quickturn)
>Seamless HD
Fan mod of the GCN version that adds in AI upscaled models and backgrounds and the FMV pack uses the Sourcenext FMVs. This version does however have a few issues, like some textures not always being masked by the AI upscaled assets.

You have to be a pretty retarded nigger to play a Japanese language game if you dont speak Japanese, which OP presumably does not. You have to be an even bigger retarded nigger to recommend playing a Japanese game.

They play these games in languages that they do not understand because they are dirt poor. If they have the choice between playing in English or their mother tongue, which would they choose?

And yet here your comment still is. This is a stupid thread and OP is a dumbass kid who just played the RE2 remake then >>6398575 for some unknown reason spoonfed him all the answers he needed and more with zero thanks

And that's /vr/ now, Ladies.

[Anonymous No.6400660]

>>6400403
I told him the version differences because they're not exactly common knowledge you gain in RE threads.
Even in regards to /vr/ RE games, here's some statistics
>6 games are allowed to be discussed, plus 4 if you count REmake 1-3 and RE0's N64 beta as relevant to /vr/
>in addition to one game movie and 6 novels
>plus some live action films that adapt the first few games events
>and additionally, RE1 has 6 ports that change plenty of content, RE2 has 4 plus a fan mod, CV has two completely different versions, etc.
I also didn't tell him what version to play, I just listed the differences (and namedropped superior releases like Dreamcast and Sourcenext)

Nobody wants you here. You're a dumbass faggot. This was a perfectly fine thread until you shit it up

[Funcoland Pops No.6400692]

>>6400660
Yeah, you gave him the information he didn't even know that he wanted to know. He could have at least said thank you.

Personally I just played (and especially watched my friends sit on my couch and play) the shit out of the original release of RE2 and I even picked up a second nice condition copy recently for $2 at Goodwill but if I were going to pick it up and do a run today I'd probably burn a copy of the Dreamcast version and play it with the VGA adapter if for no other reason than that early 2000s PC ports of console games usually piss me off with their onscreen button prompts Obscure was basically unplayable with a 360 controller. How's Sourcenext in that department? I assume OP is going to be emulating whatever he decides to play so he might be better off with a PC version than the Dreamcast one.

Listen, I'm not an attentionwhore. I see a thread, I post the relevant information, and I don't post again until I have something of value to say.
I don't care if he does or doesn't say thank you.
>the rest of your post
You see, that's spoonfeeding. You're listing off prices and ways to get games running.

[Funcoland Pops No.6400742]

>>6400679
It was a bad thread from the beginning that was answered extensively and immediately then quickly devolved into >>>/jp/ and >>>/bant/ shit. This is supposed to be /vr/ where we discuss retro games.

>>6400698
I'm just trying to stir up some discussion about version differences, particularly about a topic that's recently irritated me which is that a lot of retro and nearly retro console games that saw truly nice looking (but pre-xinput) PC ports suffer from either being forced to awkwardly use kbm control or trying to remember "Okay, I know I mapped Q E and R to B A and X on my controller but did I map CTRL to L1? Is it prompting me to press Z because it wants me to combine items? Did I map that to R3?" I have to decide if it's simpler to keep a controller cheat sheet for reference or try to play with KBM or hook up the proper real console and possibly burn a copy of the game and get it all running at probably a lower resolution.

I don't know if either of both the PC versions of RE2 suffer from this but it just seemed like it might be something worth discussing.
