Dreamcast intro is a direct port of arcade intro version.

[@GooseDaPlaymaker]

That’s the NA stand-alone PS2 version. If we were comparing the NESTS Collection version of KOF 2001, it’s arcade perfect (NEOGEO mode) or the PS2-specific extras mode (3D Backgrounds, arranged soundtracks, night and day levels, extra characters). Options are good, aren’t they? 😉

[@osamaroum]

@@GooseDaPlaymaker so you can change between both versions ! i see .

[@GooseDaPlaymaker]

@@osamaroum Yep. I have the Orochi Collection, NESTS Collection, 98 UM, and 2K2 UM Tougeki for PS2 (JP) and they’re all completely uncensored, upgraded with 3D backgrounds/new graphics in intro and other areas/night and day stages/sometimes extra characters with an option to play the original NEOGEO arcade perfect port (no ‘Now Loading’ screens and frames are perfect). The NA versions usually have loading screens, missing frames, and don’t have any of the Japanese PS2-specific extras.

Yep

[@DiegoSPaulino]

Beside the portraits, the PS2 background are weird, like having a blurred filter that also affects the colors of the characters. I would choose the DC version for being a more faithful port of the arcade.

[@sharpester7277]

The Dreamcast version could be emulated. As it looks like it is running the rom of the Neo Geo version of the original game. With the 98 and 99 editions of the KOF series on Dreamcast they were ported from the ground up. Like in the PS2 port of this game where it is ported from the ground up. Like how Last Blade 2 on the Dreamcast is probably using the same emulation that the Dreamcast ports of the later King Of Fighters games on the Dreamcast up to the 2002 edition of the game. I don’t know it looks like it is emulated on the Dreamcast to me.

[@DiegoSPaulino]

@@sharpester7277 Maybe It was easier to port a MVS game to the Naomi board, making It easier to SNK Just port the rom instead of making a new version from the ground up.

[@Lightblue2222]

I hate purposely added smoothing filters. To make things less pixelated they put a slight blur over everything. Even the characters aren't as crisp. If it's purposely added, HD will only help so much.

The sega port is way better. Looks emulated so it was easy $$$ for them. garou was the same if I remember.

[@javisarias]

Thanks for the video. I always liked KOF 2001 even acknowledging its shortcomings. The PS2 versions have some nice "improvements", if we can call them this way, but I felt the new intro was totally unnecessary and lazier than the original.

[@Cupcom5]

Yeah, her and Robert are like the only ones that got a new upgrade each and every time. Sometimes yuri

[@ShadowSumac]

@@Cupcom5 Its tricky for Robert since in some instances, I feel SNK reused his Art of Fighting 3 sprite (downgraded of course), so he wasn't made from ground up every time. I don't want to demean their work, just pointing it out.

Ps2 has the 2 version, anyway you can turn off the filter.

[@Lordicus21]

Yeah, but when you actually play on a PS2 it looks better. You can't see on this video the perspective differences while in movement because they're stopped. And, that " blurry" effect gives more impression of focus on the characters, different from the pixalated visual mess from arcade and dreamcast versions. On the PS2 have also two versions of each level (minimal weather difference or whatever). Ps2 still best choice for all old KOF's, absolutely.

[@juliocsdantas]

Primeiramente, Feliz Ano Novo VCDECIDE!!! Tive a oportunidade de jogar as duas versões, em questão de visuais, a versão do DreamCast é melhor por ter menos blur e "entender melhor" a parte visual, porém a versão de PS2 tem algumas correções de bugs da gameplay... Mas ambas são ruins pois o KOF 2001 é um produto bizarro. Se for jogar pra conhecer, a versão de Dreamcast é melhor. Se a ideia (bem errada por sinal) for jogar com o foco em competir, a versão de PS2 é melhor. Mas se der, é bom evitar, os outros jogos da Saga NESTS são melhores que ele, o que é uma pena, pois ele conclui o arco que é o mais fraco de KOF, muito por culpa dele...

[@Bloodreign1]

That DC version of KoF 98, dubbed Dream Match 99 is horrendous, adding load times that should not even be there, the DC was more capable than that. They did good with the music, which is rather seems to use a higher bitrate, sounds like they used the master tapes to record the music (like Street Fighter Alpha 3 on PS1). Once you play KoF 98 UM (the Japanese version is the best option as the blood is not censored out), Dream Match 99 just doesn't feel right. Thankfully SNK did better with 99 through 02.

[@baronhausenpheffer]

This is kind of a weird one to judge between. Overall, I'd probably give PS2 the edge because of the way the backgrounds can vary, but otherwise it's almost a matter of preference in how you like your presentation. The way the Dreamcast embraces its pixels reminds me of the prettier KOF games from the late 1990s, while the smoothing and more 3D backgrounds of the PS2 version feel like a bridge into the way fighting games started to look into the 2000s. Great-playing and great-looking game, no matter which console you play it on.

[@grabisoft]

Dreamcast arcade ports are always superior. Dreamcast was basically and arcade powerhouse. Similar to what neo geo aes was. Ps2 was a great console, the most sold console of all time but it was more centered in heavy games, rpg, platformers and stuff like thay. Dreamcast was all about pick up and play. 60 fps, simple but sharp graphics.

[@davidedson9522]

o DreamCast é a mesma versão do arcado da Neo Geo, enquanto a do PS2 é outra versão com design diferentes e efeitos.

[@true-omegaid8467]

O PS2 tem a versão igual do Dreamcast, inclusive é o Nests collection icluindo o KOF99 e KOF 2000.

[@RyanMarcel_]

I played on the Ps2 but it had the DC graphics, just now i noticed...

[@Cupcom5]

I mean I some of their pics at the player select looks decent on ps2, but I really like the style on Dreamcast. Also ps2 sprites look slightly smaller, ps2 intro too long. I'm gonna say Dreamcast for me

[@Bloodreign1]

PS2 and DC sprites are the same size, try again. That same DC port found it's way to PS2 in Japan anyway, in KoF Nests Hen.

[@BazZx]

the only thing good about 01 is the select character music and some themes

[@wences9771]

Can you make one from kof 2002?

[@MarceloOliveira-mw6yp]

Que baita déjà vu!!!!! Alguns efeitos nos cenários como iluminação, neblina e outros até que ficaram razoávelmente bons na versão do PS2, mas mesmo assim, essa versão do DREAMCAST é bem superior!!!! E esse game foi um dos KOFs que não tiveram melhorias como aquelas versões da '98 e '99!!!!

[@soulintake]

So no timer on dreamcast? What's going on here...

[@EdnXavier]

Em termos de jogos de luta os consoles da SEGA sempre foram superiores, até por serem uma versão fiel à do arcade. Achei a versão do PS2 muito ''gourmetizada'' e maquiada.

[@true-omegaid8467]

O PS2 tem a versão igual do Dreamcast, inclusive é o Nests collection icluindo o KOF99 e KOF 2000.

[@devicold]

Anyway you still able to play the Arcade stages on ps2 by choosing it on menu.

[@HazamaKirito2013]

La version de ps2 esta muy buena aunque nunca la juge Los escenarios muy dinamicos le dan ese toque 3d pero si debieron incluirlos en 2002 um

[@iwanttocomplain]

The PS2 version is being displayed in too narrow of an aspect ratio so the artwork is blurred and slightly too thin.

[@sauldavalos3053]

El de dreamcast era un port directo del arcade

[@vlkr7726]

Wtf happened with the draw in the Ps2 version? It's too weird...

[@DARS_04]

I think that the console ports impoved on the shitty AES release. Also PS2 improves presentation slightly, but it's up to preference like the 3D backgrounds of Dream Match 99 or Evolution.

[@yoyoyonasa]

Compatirison is not right. Dreamcadt also have the ps2 intro. And the 3d background. Just need to unlock or get in the option ...

[@Lupo32]

I got 2001 on ps2 and Nintendo switch

[@mrjab6313]

La verdad ambas están buenas la.version de DC tiene ese plus de ser literal el arcade tal cual, la de ps2 también pero siempre se me hizo feo la combinación de escenarios 3d con Sprite 2d puros, aún que eso no hace mala la versión de ps2

[@hectorapolinar1766]

Primero salió la versión de dreamcast, obvio que para la PS2 mejoraron el entorno gráfico PERO la versión de dream tiene más escenarios de juegos anteriores.... Además en lo personal prefiero el arte original sin filtros....

[@fabiojuniooliveira6862]

Algumas imagens dos personagens são boas no Dreamcast e outras no ps2

[@true-omegaid8467]

O PS2 tem a versão igual do Dreamcast, inclusive é o Nests collection icluindo o KOF99 e KOF 2000.

[@Mr.Atari2600]

6:01 PS2 version: 0/10 No Jiggle animation!!!!

[@GooseDaPlaymaker]

This is clearly the NA standalone version of 2001. Now if we were comparing the DC to the NESTS Collection of 2K1, that’s a whole ‘nother ball game. I’d take the NESTS Collection over any version of 2K1 on any system...🤔

[@Bloodreign1]

Play the Japanese PS2 versions, then get back to me on that animation.

[@GooseDaPlaymaker]

@@Bloodreign1 I own it. You can play the original AES NEOGEO perfect port version (like the Dreamcast) or the ‘remixed’ version with 3D backgrounds and night/day stages. The animation/frames are arcade perfect on both versions. 😳 You might wanna try...I don’t know, playing it?...before talking reckless about something. Just a suggestion...🤔

[@AyaneOfDeath]

3:31 Well Duuuuh! 🤷‍♀️

[@meganinten0078]

I love that portrait XD

[@calevolutionhd]

I hate what they did with K' on his PS2 portrait..

[@cristianramallo8042]

el de playstation 2 usa filtros, se ve un poco difuminado pero quita la pixelacion, el de dreamcast, se ve como en neo geo supongo

[@Lordicus21]

I love that channel, the video is awesome, but it lacks movement through the stages. PS2 version is very beautiful, the prettiest for sure, fact which not showed enough here. Anyway, thanks and keep doing that nice job.

[@heilong79]

Dreamcast for this one.

[@Bloodreign1]

The DC version of this game did find it's way to the PS2, in the KoF Nests Saga pack released only in Japan.

[@hababacon]

Dreamcast wins this round. I don't know what SNk were thinking by applying N64 like blur effects over the PS2 version. So technically the PS2 version is doing more, but artistically the Dreamcast version looks better with crispier graphics, and slightly larger characters. It also appears the DC version is animated better than the PS2 version after looking at the last minute of gameplay.

[@Bloodreign1]

SNK usually gave gamers an option to turn those blur filters off, I know for sure you can do that with KoF XI, where the Sega/Sammy Atmoniswave original had blurry as hell sprites,but the filters could be disabled in the PS2 home port. Not sure why the uploader decided to keep the blur on, it's like they wanted more people to say the DC version was better.

[@hababacon]

@@Bloodreign1 Interesting, thanks for the info but I find odd SNK thought this blur effect looked good on PS2. Filtering low resolution sprites has never look good with MK Trilogy on N64 being the exception.

[@meganinten0078]

I prefer the Dreamcast port because it is like the Arcade version. I like the portraits of the characters in arcade. Nona's style is one of my favorites. The characters look a lot more expressive. Also, the intro of 2001 (arcade) is my favorite of the NESTS saga and its in my top three favorites KOF intros

[@homerosanchez2321]

Es solo mi idea o tiene mucho mejor definicion Dream cast ? las miniaturas de cada personaje de la dream cast estan hechas bien al chingadaso jaja , luce mas play station 2 en la seleccion de personajes pero a la hora de jugar para mi gana dream cast .

[@rsguth]

Na Tv de tubo a versão do PS2 é perfeita.

[@charlesfelix3587]

Ambas as artes sao muito boas. As artes do kof2001 dreamcast me lembram a do real bout 2
