Vampire Night PlayStation 2 Arcade Mode 2 player 60fps

Best viewed in 60 fps. I'm player 1 and Mark is player 2. The intro is at the end of the video. 41:29 The life count was raised to 5 and the credits were set to 9. I had a problem with this game stuttering at times and while I was able to mostly edit it out of the video, the sound is sometimes slightly off.

[@Invidente7]

It's a tragedy that games like this are permanently stuck on the PS2: Time crisis 2 & 3, crisis zone, ninja assault and this are very fun.

im really hoping they'll make THOTD 3 backwards compact for the xbox one, its such a good game, and the fact that it has the THOTD 2 in it makes it better

This was played on PCSX2 with the nuvee plugin, which lets you use a mouse for aiming. That said, this is one game that always seems to stutter once in a while for me, unlike other games I've played on PCSX2. I would still say the game is playable, though.

[@arronmunroe]

That can only be done through cheats. I believe your windows cursor can be set to match the game position, although perhaps you just like the way the in game cursor looks more. I used a cursor because it was the only way for the second player to be able to use a second mouse and see the cursor position, although 1p had been ok for me. gametitle=Vampire Night //cursor patch=1,EE,2020CE84,extended,00000000 patch=1,EE,2020CEC0,extended,00000000 This is the cheat to make the cursor show up. If you don't know how to use cheats on PCSX2, you need to copy this into a text file, call it 7FBCDA34.pnach and save it in the cheats folder, and then enable cheats in the emulator.
