Castlevania Chronicles (PS1 vs X68000) Version Comparison

[@gustavobarandas2012]

I'm playing this on the ps1 emulator and it's glorious! So different from other Castlevanias, feels way more arcade and the graphics are awesome

[@ThePhantomLion]

How the fuck did you get a PS1 emulator to work?

[@tiarabite]

@@ThePhantomLion duckstation ma boi.

[@warlockentertainment1192]

Castlevanias before Symphony of the Night were all like this and I honestly preferred them

[@mikeg2491]

@@ThePhantomLionlol where have you been for 20 years

[@Sumire973]

​@@ThePhantomLion You no longer need the mess of an emulator that are ePSXe and pSXfin to play PS1 games for a long time, since Mednafen arrived and Duckstation some years after that.

[@seerus1351]

Good choice to start the new year with. Chronicles is definitely an amazing remake with some of the best sounding remixes for Castlevania.

[@PAINNN666]

x68k has better music. yes techically ps1 is more improved but more orchestry sound doesm't equals better.

[@masao1984]

El bloody tears de Castlevania chronicles remasterizado para play 1 es una joya total me atrevo a decir que es la más elaborada y épica de todas las versiones que han salido hasta ahora! Cuando llegaba al nivel de la catedral donde enfrentabamos a medusa me olvidaba que era yo y me transformaba en Simon Belmont! Que pedazo de música!

[@BitsBeats]

Es la caña esa versión de Bloody Tears (aunque creo que este tema sonaría bien con cualquier arreglo, es demasiado mítico!)

[@Goetaxd]

Es de mis versiones favoritas junto con la de Castlevania The Arcades, no hay duda de que es un arrangement epico

[@violator1017]

The side by side comparison is not correct... When you display the game (starts at 2:18), you put the 2 versions coming from the PS1 version, the "enhanced" and the "original". The X68000 version is 512x512 resolution game(256 x 256 with doubled pixel at 31Khz) and what you're showing here is a 15Khz 256 x 224 version, meaning that's a PS1 version. So, basically you display the 2 PS1 versions here and not the PS1 VS X68000... 😐

[@nsixties4380]

The ps1's soundtrack takes the g out of graveyard

[@WobbuffetChannel]

If you activated the audio MIDI of the X68000 the comparison would be fairer.

[@Jopovania]

DIgan lo que quieran pero voy a preferir toda la vida la intro pixelosa de la X6800 por siempre sobre la intro rara en 3D de la versión de PS1... gran video!

[@BitsBeats]

A mi también me gusta más, tiene muchísimo más encanto (y la música, también ;))

[@mauricioromero9496]

Gran trabajo en la recopilación de las dos versiones, me gusta bastante tu canal, muy interesante

[@BitsBeats]

Muchísimas gracias Mauricio. Muy agradecido!!

[@kistar3460]

Love the playstation bloody tears remix, awesome video!

[@BitsBeats]

Many thanks ❤️

[@arthurcatisani]

Yes man, id say its his best version

[@Hello-hz7gj]

I hope Konami re-releases it in another Castlevania collection with Vampre Killer and Castlevania Legends.

[@verybigcvfan]

I have a idea to get the ps2 games into nintendo

[@carlosaugustodinizgarcia3526]

Yeah,they should also put Haunted Castle as well (It is in the Arcade collection I know).

[@panthekirb7561]

The "Okay game (Chronicles) + some bad ones" collection

[@nesking3115]

I have an original copy of “Vampire Killer “(European version)so I am good either way.

[@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக்]

In retrospective, this is better than SCV4.

[@seva809]

Very underrated and rather forgotten Castlevania title.

[@CharlyHyo]

Yo sigo prefiriendo la versión del X68000, por todo el detalle grafico y auditivo, ya que se pierde mucho de esto en la versión de PS1, a parte que no le hace justicia la musica a diferencia de si lo ponias con el sintetizador Roland CM64 no tenia comparacion, buen video espero ver mas comparativas asi como regionales como Castlevania 3 vs Akumajo Densetsu entre otros juegos de Konami

[@BitsBeats]

También es mi favorita... y mi elección también cae por la parte del sonido. Soy muy vieja escuela en ese sentido y prefiero los sintes a esas remezclas del juego de Playstation

[@arthurcatisani]

The best classicvania, change my mind

[@gv82089]

Better than Rondo? Idk

[@arthurcatisani]

@@gv82089 well to be totally honest chronicles was my first castle so i have special feelings about It, i also played rondo in the requiem collection and its awsome, id say rondo is the tecnically better but chronicles is still my favorite

[@locked01]

Ehrm... Erhm....... symphony......

[@soulreaver1983]

Outstanding as always thanks my friend and happy new year!!!🙂🎆👍

[@BitsBeats]

Mark 🙌🙌🙌

[@flynnscythe2524]

La versión de ps1 me gusta un poco más por tener el arte de ayami Kojima, y lo mejor es que incluye la versión original de la sharp x68000 con su música y todo, y que además está en una consola mucho más accesible que la sharp 68000 que solo está en Japón.

[@RedLP5000S]

Graphically, both versions are stellar. The PS1 delivers a bit more though. In terms of gameplay, the PS1 title is stupendously difficult. Regardless, I'm thrilled to own Castlevania Chronicles. Great comparison. ✌🏻

[@henrybautista676]

Just finished playing this game last week🖒

[@LOL-gn5oh]

I honestly don't like Ayami Kojima's redesign of Simon. I love her work in Symphony of The Night, Alucard's design is brilliant and works very well for the game's purpose, but I think her style doesn't convey very well the beefiness physique of the Belmonts.

[@cristiandobrota8370]

Good video,with a good presentation and montage.Happy New Year and please take a look at Castlevania Lecarde Chronicles, it's a fan game,but it's a good tribute to the series.

[@BitsBeats]

Many thanks mate! Maybe at some point I'll do a video of fanmade/romhacks of the series

[@anthonywilson6611]

As someone who owns an X68000, for me personally it's the more definitive way to play the game. The same way playing Rondo of Blood is on a real PC Engine is. I know 3D was the hip thing at the time. But the intro on the PS1 version just feels cheap and undetailed. I also prefer the music in the X68000 version as well. I've played them both and gameplay wise they are basically the same. However the "extras" they threw in just felt underwhelming. But if you don't want to spend a ton of money on a computer that may not work and a game that could be moldy or corrupted, it's as good as an alternative gets I suppose. You could also install an internal flash cart to your X68000 and play the game that way. It's a shame this is such a hard one to track down and play because it really is quite good. There's a ton of lost stuff on the X68k that will probably never see the light of day ever again.

[@Mr.Pokeylope9082]

Yeah, I understand why they would do CD audio on PS; they have the disc space and there isn't really midi hardware. But the sound on X68000 is fantastic, and even better if you can run midi. Currently playing through this on my MISTer Pi X68000 core with the MT32-Pi acting as a Roland midi device. It's a lot cheaper for people who want to try something like this (under $300 vs $2000 for an actual X68000 and more for a midi device).

[@anthonywilson6611]

@Mr.Pokeylope9082 yeah the system is NOT cheap. To me it's worth it. Emulating such a great system seems asinine to me. But to each their own. Not everyone has big money to drop on stupid stuff.

[@noobsaibot9490]

I played the Ps1. Great vid by the way👍

[@MrJorge-qt9mv]

Nice graphics of PsOne :D

[@rmaxdevil]

why you put scanlines on your videos???

[@lordgeyik]

Looks much better IMO. More faithful to how it would have been presented in the time. The CRT scanlines were accounted for by the artist at the time, and without it, the image look more raw

[@theyuki-fay-multiverse9086]

I'm so happy I found this game for ps one in a game store 🤩

[@lordgeyik]

I prefer the chiptune music in the xs68000 version

[@JS2123-m9x]

I don't care much for the PS1 port "cinematic" but everything else seems worthwhile.

[@ailtonpassos9020]

I'm already like.

[@BitsBeats]

Many thanks :))

[@gusigupacifico]

Good video, horrendous scanlines, not interger align between them.

[@Prime-1111X]

Give me the original! It reminds me a little bit of Spatterhouse with the music and gore on the title screen. The good old days......

[@G4System]

I repeatedly ended this game. This game great soundtrack

[@posthumanistpotato]

So what I'm hearing/seeing here is the SharpDOES what SonyDON'T!

[@isamuominae]

Konami was unbeatable, a true beast that became pretty much irrelevant now. The amount of AAA games that they made and never got released overseas or in home consoles is absurd.

[@afriend9428]

[@afronautexplorer144]

Better colours on PS1

[@EcstasyArise]

This game is fabulous, the techno musics are a bit too much on some levels but great anyway. At that Time I thought Konami would release a Castlevania 4 remake but that’s un the trash now… Great work on the video 👍

Many thanks Bran!!
