Saturn Longplay [040] Virtua Cop

www.longplays.org
Played by: Mad-Matt
Virtua Cop Arcade port to the Sega Saturn released in 1995.
"A detective in the player's department uncovers an illegal gunrunning operation and traces it back to a powerful crime syndicate named E.V.L. Inc. He compiles a large amount of evidence and is ready to take them down, but he is discovered and assassinated. Some of the evidence manages to make its way back to headquarters and a special task force is put on the case. The policemen Michael Hardy and James Cools must face that organization led by Joe Fang and his followers Kong, the King, and the Boss."
I let the attract mode play out at the start before progressing onto the longplay. Playing with the control pad is difficult as there is barely enough time to move from one target to the next. I don't usually have more than 2 or 3 frames to spare.
I did not play the game for points and just killed as fast as possible in order to stay alive. More points can be gained by disarming the enemies instead of killing them and bullseye shots by landing a central shot which I occasionally do. -

Man great times. I remember my dad bought this for me when I was 7. He didn't realize it was a shooter and didn't want me to play it. I was upset at him and hid it from me. I got caught a couple times sneaking and playing it and got in trouble. He's no longer here with me but I sure miss those simpler times getting scolded. Thanks for the nostalgia!

[@MrMarrekkk]

Hey, my dad is no longer with me either but i let my 7yo play Virtua Cop on Saturn or even House of the dead 2 on Dreamcast. Have you managed to complete the game?

[@masquereseau5635]

Imagine what happened when I received GTA 3 and Vice City at the age of 11.

[@VahanNisanian]

These graphics used to be the best ever in 1994.

[@pferreira1983]

Indeed they did.

[@EOTA564]

redfoxbennaton77 Obviously but this is an incredibly port given the hardware limitations.

[@Viczarratt]

out of all the model2 arcade ports that made their way on to the saturn, this one came the closest in terms of visuals, i actually thought the arcade version ran on titan hardware until i searched google.

[@dandysatria7419]

but VC 1 in another version it could between by years 1995 and 1996

[@RyneMcKinney]

In the 80's and 90's, Sega was the king of arcade graphics. Hell as early as 1985, Space Harrier was using model 2 hardware which was 16 bit, and it came out 3 years before 16 bit consoles were available!!

Sega should remake all their Virtual games for modern VR

[@GaryBeltz]

It seems the only thing coming out of Sega's camp these days are Sonic games

[@Loader2K1]

Sega re-released Virtua Cop 1 and 2 on the PlayStation 2 in Japan and Europe as Virtua Cop Re-Birth and, by the way of the now-defunct Acclaim, Virtua Cop: Elite Edition, respectively. With the exception of enhanced graphics and features, they were more or less identical to their arcade and Sega Saturn counterparts.

[@majimamike5313]

Back then Virtua Cop 1&2 were far superior than Time Crisis. Same for the comparison between Sega Rally and Ridge Racer,Virtua Fighter and Tekken etc. I dont know why people chose ps1 instead of Saturn.

[@FamilyTeamGaming]

I prefer Time Crisis 1 to Virtua Cop 1, personally. But I prefer Virtua Cop 2 to TIme Crisis. The Saturn is my favourite console and I love its games, but I do think that if you absolutely had to choose one or the other, bias aside, the PS1 has overall a more complete library of games.

[@jasonlee7816]

a fair comparison would've been Time Crisis vs Virtua Cop compare Time Crisis vs Virtua Cop 2 is or seems pointless silly to compare Virtua Cop 3 (2003 ) v Time Crisis 2 (1998) Time Crisis 3 vs Virtua Cop 3 would've be a fair comparison the PS1 is (was) better at replicating certain arcade games

[@FamilyTeamGaming]

@@jasonlee7816 I think you have to make these comparisons since the two Time Crisis games on PS1 are Time Crisis 1 and TC Project Titan, while the Saturn has Virtua Cop 1 and 2 and there aren't a whole lot of lightgun games to go around anyway. Time Crisis is better than Virtua Cop 1, but Virtua Cop 2 (which released the same year as the home port of TC1 anyway I believe) is honestly better than Time Crisis and I'd argue the two were competing more directly. I honestly would take any of those three over Project Titan anyway.

[@jasonlee7816]

FamilyTeamGaming i think Virtua Cop 2 didn't feel like or wasn't much of an improvement over the original Virtua Cop that is why i thought Time Crisis was a better series

[@ross4fun966]

Virtua Cop 1 was amazing back then, but Time Crisis 1 was cool too.

[@TachyBunker]

I still don't understand how they made this at the time. Truly amazing genies are located in SEGA, until the end of gaming.

I remember first playing this with the gun. I couldn’t hit anything unless I was a few inches from the screen. After about an hour, I was getting direct hits every single shot from the back of the room. Brilliant game.

[@GaryBeltz]

How do you get the "Nice bullseye" message to appear when you kill someone in this game?

[@comchia4306]

I remember having this for sega saturn with the orange gun-co controller it comes with when you buy the game at the time. This was before the PS2 even became a thing in 2001. I didn't even know this was made in 1994 like graphics and music kicked serious ass! I did find it cool you fight a secret boss if you beat the levels in order from left to right.
