What is a man?!

Dancing Mad · 02-12-2011, 11:52 PM

So I'm playing Symphony of the Night on PSP, and I don't like the new voices nor the reworked dialogue. Makes me wanna smash a buncha wine glasses.

So I like video games, although horror movies are also a passion. I don't know what to say in these, I'll just get to know you all in time, I guess. I hope this doesn't discourage anyone. Cool lookin forum, seems interesting, I'm gonna go look around now.

Until further interaction, I bid thee a fine night.

Welcome, friend. Try not to spill on the new carpet. 'Cuz it's new, you see.

Firstly i haven't played the game (The first or the remake) but i have been copiloting a sitting of the old game with some buddies (we borowed a TV at school the last couple of days and attempted go through it).

Based on this i have some opinions:

1. Why change something that was good already, sure sometimes the dialoge was kind of cheesy but it worked allright and i don't think many people buy games due to voiceactors in it.

2. Did they only change the voicacting, if so why don't poke around the stuff that just is around in the sourcecode and do stuff with that, (im looking at you underground gardens) but then i don't know if it's a ps1 or Sega port.

3. Did they only convert it, if so it's kind of lazy if you are redoing something show that you can think of taking away some glitches and buggs to make the game experience a little better.

And hello to you, nice to meet you im Jere, Lapplander in the more snowy business.

The PS1 translation was horrible. The PSP version is awesome.

What man? Which man? What's a man? What makes a man a man? Am I a man? Yes, technically I am.

1-Aye aye, I certainly didn't buy it for the voices, but I only did want Rondo of Blood to unlock Symphony lol. (even though I own the original PS1 version.) But the voices in the original are really unique...gotta love Alucard's nasal talk and Dracula's high pitched two pack a day man throat gargling. The PSP port remade voices disappoint me, and no more retarded ''what is a man'' confrontation talk. Also it's no longer epic when Alucard goes ''what?!''

Deuce-Rondo of Blood is a complete remake from the TurboGrafix original, but you can unlock the original Rondo and a port, yes, of Symphony for PlayStation. They mostly just reworked the dialogue, but they did fix some glitches. You can't cover inaccessible map areas via countless glitches and methods to reach them like you could in the original, plus this infinite money trick doesn't work anymore, either. They also added two new familiars that were found in the Saturn version.

Speaking of which, I'm still waiting for someone to port THAT version over to us...extra rooms and weapons and a walking tree enemy!

A man is either a miserable pile of secrets or a cesspit of hatred and fear. Or something. But yeah, technically we're all either a man or a woman. Or a goat. I saw this movie about werewolves, and they depict the origin of lycanthrope as some nobleman who...er. Movin' oan.

Not sure yet, but that robot should probably be an enemy in a Castlevania game. Or Metal Gear. Awesome haha.

I'm not so much questioning it as I was trying to just make an entrance. XD
