I finally have room! Great video though Jimmy, I'd say you are a pro at Long Form content now. I turned it on just meaning to watch the intro (was supposed to be working on my script) and ended up watching the whole thing! Emotionally powerful intro you did, it grabbed me and didn't let go. The amount of detail you went into with the changes was staggering, bravo on that. I love over analytical videoes like this.. because I like to do them myself :D As for the technical issues, it seems to me like the programmers just got lazy with the Saturn port. I think a lot of those things (like 5 second blank screen load times in between rooms) could have been ironed out if they took some extra time. But the Saturn was almost a dead system by the time this game came out, which probably had something to do with it... As I said on Twitter, I plan on getting caught up on a lot of your stuff.

The execution of that opening alone was amazing, the way you tied the music with the imagery. Perfection! Another Vandal Hearts fan? Awesome! It was the first game that I played on the PS1 and I have such fond memories of it. I remember being surprised by the over dramatic blood splattering whenever a human enemy died, but the political narrative had me drawn in from the beginning. I didn't realize that it got ported to the Saturn. I wonder what the differences are between that and the PS1 version? The Saturn version of the opening for Suikoden looks great. I love the redrawn character art. Especially Viktor (probably for the same reason you like Kasumi's art. ;P ) After watching this, now you got me wanting to try out the Saturn version of Suikoden for myself.

It’s so weird they couldn’t get the half transparencies to match the ps1. I’ve seen so many Saturn games do that, but Konami seemed to put a little less effort into Saturn stuff than they did with the ps1. It’s the same thing with load times. Look at the speed at which shining force 3 runs between the rendering of the fight scenes and the world map. It’s extremely fast. It’s probably more about the porting process and capabilities of the programmers, or time. Who knows.

Very nicely put together video! I find fault with some of the information contained within however. Everyone knows by now that the Saturn absolutely destroys the PS1 with 2D games. Only the development team's laziness and or ignorance held this game back from being superior to the original PlayStation version in every single way. Also, of you seriously believe that "hardware limitations" prevents the Saturn from displaying loading animations, you are either lying or extremely ignorant as that is a complete falsehood. There are tons of Saturn games that have animated load screens, as of that was anything exciting to begin with. Nevertheless, this was a statement that should have never been made. Anyways, I prefer this version due to the extra content that it offers. While not quite on the level of the Dracula X offerings we got, this version of Suikoden still feels the most complete as a result.

Hue Jackson pal systems run on much superior rgb and the pal format has higher resolution. Many saturn games were pal optimised anyway so run at the same speed. You win some, you lose some. PAL format wasn't as bad as many people made it out to be.

Ugh...every time you mention the Goemon games we never got, specifically the SNES ones, I die a little inside. Translate 'em for me. I thought about getting Rosetta Stone for Japanese just to play those games, no shit.

23:12 Yes, that is correct, sir. It's a shame that the Saturn version has so many technical flaws, since the added bonuses really make it the "complete package" for Suikoden.

so far thats 4 2D Games where the ps1 Version is a little better then the saturn version. Rayman MKTrilogy SotN And now Suikoden. Who knows their maybe more idk about. Also i don't consider additional things added to the saturn version to be better if the experience is changed a bit such as lower framerates, longer loadtimes, little flaws and limitations get in the way. The additional things added are more like compensation to make up for it, but i don't classify that exactly as superiority.

Yeah, PS original all the way, but like I said in the vid, it's a good game for people to play through who are already fans of the game. I've heard that Dodonpachi on Saturn is worse than its PS1 counterpart, but I'm not sure--I only own the PS1 version and can't compare myself.

@Dark Savior Madara Unless there's information I'm not aware of (and please enlighten me if thats the case), Rayman is NOT better on the PS1, its worse. All of the end level effects and transitions are completely missing whereas they are always a sight to behold in the Saturn game, and as usual the loading times and such are better - not to mention the advantage of having the best controller for 2D games, ever. Some backgrounds were changed for the PS1 version if thats what you're referring to, but that hardly makes it "better", they are just different. Also, everyone knows this by now but SOTN is basically running on a 3D engine, its not a true 2D game, as if it was the Saturn would be better in every single way. They lazily ported over the 3D engine from the PS1 game without reworking it for the Saturn's architecture. MKtrilogy is unknown to me, the differences at least. Feel free to divulge that information here on why the PS1 could be better?

The load times make no sense at all because the saturn has better hardware decompression, more ram available, and faster transfer rate. It makes no sense. On top of missing but possible graphical effects and weird textures that.. btw... have the original textures files available but not used(on a device with more vram)... it just screams lazy

Ps3 don't upscaling so good but If you like ps3 style then nice for you. I use PSone with XRGB-mini or OSSC and i like them both. But the most important thing is that you enjoy playing. (Graphics are not everything.)

What kind of TV do you have? I have Sony PVM-20M4E and shitty HDTV but take all what OSSC throw out. Hope update at some point OLED, but price is right now to expensive. (OLED look more like CRT than LED HDTV because OLED can do perfect Black and there is no color bleeding like LED HDTV but need model that have less input lag before i buy one.)
