Charlie, you were right and the graphic has the nameplates mixed up. I made a graphic for it on my bus ride home and sent to Marc for approval. When he gives me the thumbs-up, I'll insert it into the game so that will be correct in the hack. (And not the original, ha!)

Can I request the all of the PC98 shots to be reuploaded? It'd be cool to see the comparisons now that a bunch of us have been playing through the PSOne version. Much thanks!

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman, thanks!

I'm working on screencapping the PSOne version at the moment for comparisons sake.

I have a video up on my YouTube page that showcases many differences between all the versions of Policenauts....

Interesting. In the PC98 version, at purse searching sequence, there's a picture of Anna running out a car holding a bag. This wasn't in the PSOne version, because Ed said there was no point to call her, because the purse was fake. What was happening in this scene in the PC98 verison?

EDIT: NM, I read the first post again. I think it's funnier the way it plays out in the PSONe version though.

I've always wondered...
Spoiler:
Does Salvatore even die in the PC98 version?

Image

He looks more pissed of than dead here, (And what's up with those wires?) but that's not the main point.

Image

The guy on the left with the brown suit, he looks an awful lot like Salvatore.

Hmmm, the PC98 version is so damn different from the other versions...it's like manga art, whilst the other versions are like animé art...

That's just so awesome.

Far better than his death in the other versions...why take out such a glorious death scene for the bastard in the other versions? :/

Spoiler:
That makes sense, I'd look pissed off too if I got electrocuted in the middle of a gunfight.

That guy in the epilogue still looks a lot like Salvatore though.

And I always thought it's funny in the PC98 version how Dave and Hojo are the only biomorts in there who are not completly naked. Pretty convenient.
