which ver. is your personal favorite, and the cost to play
what's the typical price for each version and which version of policenauts do you like better? i'm looking to own my first copy and wonder what's the best one to get. i'm almost sure the PC98 version is probably more rarer being the first release or what not. thanks.

-3D0
-PSX

I've heard Saturn version is the out and out best for extra content, and 3DO is the worst because it introduces a lot of loading sequences, which makes no sense to me for such an old game.
Having talked to Marc about the translation stuff, PSX/Saturn seem like the best story-wise. The PC98 version spoils a plot twist right at the beginning.

Yeah I remember over ten years ago now when Policenauts was announced for the Sega Saturn, my system of choice at the time!
I remember the reviewers for Gamefan reviewed the japanese version, and how it came with an art book, extra features and everything.
I was REALLY dissapointed when it got canned for a US release!
I own the PSX version...But I'd still like to get ahold of the SS version someday.
It runs on ebay for about $60 depending....not bad!
Another reason to pur my old Sega Saturn to use...classic Kojima games

Edited, Wrong topic :p
Re: which ver. is your personal favorite, and the cost to play
I said something kinda stupid there.
What I mean is that the 3DO apparently had a lot of excessive loading scenes, which I think is more the system's fault than the game's since the PSX/Saturn version apparently didn't have that problem - or at least not to the same degree.

Yes and no. They both spoil something, but it differs.Spike wrote:Isn't it the opposite ?slowbeef wrote:Having talked to Marc about the translation stuff, PSX/Saturn seem like the best story-wise. The PC98 version spoils a plot twist right at the beginning.

The Saturn version is really cheap online, including eBay. I just sold my 2nd copy w/ all the extras for $20 (to someone on a forum I post on so I gave them a slight discount, but still, it's not worth much).
I think I bought the PSX version for about $20 on eBay too. Policenauts 3DO I've seen a little more but only in BiN usually.

Re: which ver. is your personal favorite, and the cost to play
All these spoilers are making me sad
I recently got to thinking whether the growing interest in Hideo Kojimas games would also spark interest for his older productions. I'd stab a baby seal to get an english-translated Policenauts to the PSN store or something. (Yes, I know you don't want to get paid for this project and that Konami would never sell a fan-translation as a "real" product). Still, maybe we will see a re-release of a certain game of the snatching kind....
Still 13 bugs to go?
