The King of Fighters 2001 (Dreamcast vs PlayStation 2) Side by Side Comparison

[@osamaroum]

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.

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.

[@DiegoSPaulino]

@Bobby Sharpe 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.

[@pietronunes1503]

Who is better?

[@HexElf]

@@pietronunes1503 I think the best version overall is the PS2 port of the Dreamcast version that you can find on the NEST Saga Collection. It has all of the Dreamcast extras and the AST has about the only GOOD soundtrack for this game. Plus the version of KOF99 on that collection is so superior to the original that it's actually shocking.

[@HexElf]

@@pietronunes1503 in my opinion, the Dreamcast port that was part of the NEST Saga Collection on the PS2 is the best. The AST and the extra modes put it over the top, even if the updated visuals and extras from the real PS2 version makes it a close second.

O Dreamcast é a versão original do game, pelo menos na fidelidade dos arcades, a do PS2 por eles terem maus tempo pra fazer belas modificações, a resolução ficou boa mais não tão renderizado como a do Dreamcast, podemos ver na versão do KOF 99 do Dreamcast que é uma obra prima.

[@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...

SNK should've put the same effort into upgrading all of their NEO•GEO games such as *KOF 2001* like how they made *Real Bout Fatal Fury Special: Dominated Mind, KOF Dream Match 1999,* and *KOF '94 Re-bout.*

[@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.

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.

Dreamcast wins this round. I don't know what SNk were thinking by applying N64 like blur effects over the PS2 version.

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.

[@true-omegaid8467]

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

[@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.

[@IMNME45]

Even if I have the original ps2 game, I didn't remember it had those changes, time to dig it up out of the vault and give it a whirl.

[@ShibaCat]

dreamcast is definitely good console and powerful in hardware compare to ps2, i still remeber how shock when I see DC first game , VF3 when DC launch.

[@jeovanylima381]

Kensou's dance was groovy!

[@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.

[@vlkr7726]

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

[@ComputersAndRetro]

Ambos son excelentes versiones, alguna con mas detalles que otros.

[@Tyrantthor2500]

Si, por ejemplo el detalle de los pechos de mai, en dreamcast rebotan pero en ps2 no.

que borrão amigo?

A versão do PS2 ganha, pois é mais bonita, com boas artes. A do Dreamcast perde apenas por ser fiel ao arcade... Que tem artes bem feias...

[@danchavyn]

Na versão arcade tentaram fazer um estilo cartoon com umas expressões de humor o que não deu certo. As artes do PS2 são melhores pois não tem essas maluquices, são artes mais sérias.

[@marcos-lq2nh]

Perde por ser igual Arcade?kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkll

[@naoexisteoutroigual]

@@marcos-lq2nh Isso! As artes do arcade são feias... Olhe aquela Yuri... Santo Cristo... Enquanto no 99 talvez tenha sido as melhores artes da série, quem sabe... As do 2001 são bem zoadinhas...

[@MrLucasars]

Mas o comentário do amigo acima faz sentido. As duas máquinas podem fazer versões idênticas ao arcade. O que o Dreamcast fez nessa versão foi puramente feijão com arroz. Logo faz sentido dizer que o Dreamcast perdeu por fazer algo idêntico ao original.

[@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.

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

Bom dia cara, tudo bem, acho muito legal fazer os comparativos das versões, tb faço em meu canal.

[@senorsnipey1595]

Love the ps2 version! First time seeing it but I love the background blur effect that that gives the game a unique focus on the fighters. I also like some of the other graphical enhancements to some of the levels

[@live2draw938]

Character selection images on dreamcast are way better. same for stages. Dreamcast all the way

[@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.

[@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 .

[@Murcielago-so3nh]

La versión de Playstation 2 podria considerarse un remaster? 🤔

[@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.

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

[@Nolasco.]

Jisses, the blurrines from the ps2 is awful, really bad conversion. Do all the ps2 2d fighting games from snk suffer the same fate on the ps2? Or are there any good conversions?

[@Sakf504]

Yes, there are good conversions. Later ports on the PS2 still can have that nasty blurrines, but it was as an option, and almost all of them have that option disabled by default, thankfully. In general, SNK PS2 ports would get much better later on, being pretty faithful to their original versions and even adding some extras (like 3d stages or exclusive characters).

[@vladurban6036]

[@rumble-roses]

My favorite part of the DC version were all the original character artworks. The PS2 (same artist) just rehashes the same character portraits for EVERY segment 'yawn'. DC >>> PS2

[@Bloodreign1]

The DC version used the ugly ass arcade artwork for the character portraits, while they were redrawn for the non Nests Hen compilation version of 01 on the PS2.

[@devicold]

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

As much as i hate 2001, dreamcast being a port of the arcade makes sense for the final nests saga unlike ps2 which is just like another neowave version
