X-Men Children of the Atom: Arcade vs PS1 vs Sat vs PC Comparison

[@baddabaddabaddaswing]

2:00 Funny enough, XCOTA actually maxed out the CPS2 board early on. Tons of frames of animation along with elaborate backgrounds, it's the most animated of any of the VS games. They had to take frames out in order to be able to add more characters in later games (and the assists in MvC1). I guess they also kept the removed frames in MVC2 so the XCOTA characters wouldn't look smoother than the rest of the cast.

[@Darknight0681]

That came down to RAM, keeping load times down, and having to load 6 characters.

[@sakifahmed2196]

are there any other Capcom games that maxed out the cps2 board?

[@Darknight0681]

I’d arguably say Alpha 3 did. The home versions ended up with extra characters. Vampire Savior as well.

It’s especially obvious if you look at how butchered Sentinel is on MvC2. He lost a LOT. Also note that Rogue doesn’t get to steal a move anymore too. And Spiral’s morph super is heavily scaled back.

[@rodrigof.r.desouza3587]

@@theobserver4214 the original release required a patch to fix the lack of chain combos.

I never knew the Saturn port was so deficient in animation/frames vs CPS2 with animation parity to the PS1. If you play both versions, one after the other though, the Saturn version is still 'night and day' > PS1 release. I really believe Capcom should have released revised Version 2's of BOTH Xmen COTA and MSH in a double pack, to be fully compatible with the 4MB RAM, way back when. That would have been amazing...

[@TexasHollowEarth]

Yeah. It always bothered me that those 2 games were never made RAM cart-compatible. Oh well, I just emulate the CPS2 arcade versions, now.

@@hardcoredelta I don't think Alpha 1, 2 + Dash/Gold need the extra RAM. Maybe Alpha 2 for Zangief etc but Alpha 1 doesn't need it as the animation isn't super frame-heavy.

[@classicplastic8776]

Exactly what is the patch for the PC version and where can it be found?

[@ConfusionDistortion]

Should be noted, the PC port actually supports a couple different memory/color modes, with 8 bit and 16 bit color being an option. It is also a Dos titles. If the plan is to run the game on a actual Windows 98/Dos based pc, the game also has issues with displaying on certain graphics cards. It does seem to display fine with the older S3 cards and oddly enough Kyro II cards. But it can be a pain to get it to work correctly with a Voodoo, TNT or Geforce.

[@sickotronic9205]

Yeah, the DOS version was a headache. I remember running it only with the "Display VESA driver". Awfull port and streched pixels I regret spending money on that crap. In the days i thinked that Saturn version was a far superior port.

[@Darknight0681]

On a PC that ran it fine, it was better than everything else barring the arcade game. And that’s only because of some odd move property changes and such on the conversion.

[@VirtuaVillain]

Do you know anything about a patch to restore chain combos hinted at in the video?

[@Darknight0681]

@@VirtuaVillain I remember it being a downloadable thing on Acclaim’s website way back then, so I know it’s out there. That said, it doesn’t solve the other gameplay inaccuracies it had. The arcade version still played better, and the Saturn was closer on a gameplay perspective despite the cut animations. Basically forced to choose between a near perfect presentation, or a more accurate playing game.

[@danram7167]

Glad you picked up on the animation cuts across the arcade versions of the MvC series. :) Beginning w/Marvel Vs. Street Fighter, Capcom chopped animation frames from some of the Marvel characters, presumably due to space constraints within the maxed-out CPS2 hardware. With MvC2 it was partly due to medium attacks being removed from all of the characters sprites. The other part was laziness as the NAOMI hardware was more than capable of reproducing all of those CPS2 sprites.

[@StriderVM]

Here's my theory on why there are huge animation cuts in later Marvel games by Capcom. For example, in X-Men VS Street Fighter, the SF characters use the SF Alpha sprites, which when compared to X-Men / MSH characters have anemic animation, so to have parity, they cut the animation of the old characters and then made the new characters have limited animation to have parity in smoothness. Another theory is that I think the CPS2 ROM chips can only hold a maximum of 50MB of ROM Data. There are documentation that Capcom needed to cut Vampire Savior (Darkstalkers 3) into two games because all the characters couldn't be put in a single game. Suprisingly, a lot of Capcoms CPS2 games have a ROM size not exceeding 50MB. Yet if you look at Capcom's fighting games at that time (X-Men to Marvel VS Capcom) all of these games are on the 40MB+ size.

[@Darknight0681]

It came down to CPS2 storage limits. X-men vs Street Fighter was almost totally intact outside of the deformity stuff on hit and a few other marvel specific animations. The two vs. games that came after that however was when the first real cutbacks started coming into play. Now with MVC2, they had the storage true, but it had to also load 6 characters into RAM along with everything else. Sentinel took BIG cuts on there for that reason, along with Colossus losing animation on that throw too. And every transformation of Spiral’s super is one frame for this reason too. That said, in MvC2 Cyclops gained back the pre fight walk cycle from CoTA. This was removed from every other game he was in prior.

[@FictionAdinfinitum02]

Captain America suffered greatly. The captain walked very fluently on his first appearance. However, in later games the movement of his legs is horrible. Lost many frames. Hulk managed to keep almost all of his original frames.

[@marccaselle8108]

The severe animation cuts and general crapola are why I don't have the PS1 version of Xmen cota on my retropie for my raspberry pi 3b+. I will stick with the arcade version.

[@kaams224]

They probably did it so the animation of some of the characters (mostly MSH and COTA ones) don't look smoother than other ones

[@Darknight0681]

Has to load 6 characters. In the arcade that wouldn’t have been an issue since Naomi had more RAM, but for the Dreamcast that’s another thing entirely.

[@SonnyBCreative]

Edit: Nvm. It IS the superior version on MVC So for the recent MVC collection, it appears that the stage is 3D but the number of frames isn’t identical to the arcade version? Have to look again.

Would it be fair to say that the Saturn port was always the better port compared to the ps1 for 2D fighting games? Every comparison I have seen without using the ram cart, shows the PlayStation version had either less background animations, worse loading times, worse frame rate, less going on in the foreground, etc.....but otherwise played very much the same if it didn't have any bad slow downs.....frames of animation was about the same which I was surprised at seeing. It was when games utilised the ram cart that the Saturn version got waaay better than the ps1 ports. And made it seem like it was a 2D power house. But the PlayStation had the advantage with way better 3D games on average without an extra ram cart.....and made it seem like a 3D powerhouse but wasn't exactly true either......

[@danram7167]

I think there's more to the story behind the PS1 port of X-Men: COTA then most of us know about. It was advertised on the launch boxes of the console in the Fall of 1995, and had been announced by Capcom earlier in that summer. The Saturn version's Japanese version came and went in November '95. Digging through old Usenet posts from that time period, the U.S release of the Saturn port was held up until Spring '96 because Acclaim wanted to release it alongside the PS1 port. They eventually released it solo on Saturn, while the PS1 port's release date kept getting pushed back, and back....and then disappeared off the map until mysteriously releasing in early 1998. My impression is that Capcom struggled making a decent port out of it on the RAM-starved PS1, were not satisfied with the quality and then passed on their work to Probe/Acclaim to finish and release. Note how it never got a Japanese release.

[@danram7167]

@@THE_MAQ355 Marvel Super Heroes was a pretty flawed port on both PS1 AND Saturn. Persistent slowdown, long load times and animation cuts...yes they were playable, but far from arcade-perfect. Capcom got better with the PS1 hardware during its lifetime; later ports such as SFA3, Vampire Savior and MSHvSF were pretty well done. X-Men:COTA, MSH and X-Men Vs. Street Fighter were the most animation-heavy fighting games on the CPS2 hardware; even later Vs. games on the same hardware clipped animation frames as the CPS2 had been maxed out.
