7 Worst Ports of Legendary Games
Переглядів 156,920
День томуIn theory it’s a good thing when a brilliant game is ported onto a less powerful machine, giving more people the opportunity to enjoy it. In practice, these ports can be downright travesties, bearing as much resemblance to the original game as Andy to Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop is actually a pretty great game if you can look past how it differs from the other games in the series. They removed the timer and made the mission structure way more manageable and fun. Escorting NPCs works way better. The increased emphasis on guns pairs well with the Resident Evil 4 engine and makes killing zombies more rewarding since they now drop ammo or money than lets you buy even more guns.

Mouselook was _terrible:_ I don't recally exactly, but I think I had to fidget around with vsync, compatibility settings and editing the settings file to get it halfway decent. But the real thing for me was the keyboard controls. As a left-hander, I use numpad and adjacent keys for most things. Deadspace has those keys hardcoded to RIG controls! I had to manually edit the binary control file to even walk. It took me hours to get things set-up so I could actually start playing. Fortunately, this stuff doesn't happen anymore.

If you ever do a commenter edition, I'd absolutely want to throw in a mention of Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis on the Game Boy Advance. A port to a system which was arguably *more* powerful than the original, and yet it's an utter travesty. (And if you want to follow up with "Excellent ports to weaker systems", also on the GBA, got to mention the Tony Hawks games; flipping them to isometric was a stroke of genius that really meant the gameplay could be intact on the handheld and still have a solid framerate.)

The first time I ever played Pac-Man was when our parents bought my sisters and me an Atari 2600. I played a lot of Pac-Man and Asteroids (they were my favorites). I guess nostalgia made me forget what Pac-Man looked like, because I really don't remember it being so bad.

Final Fight One is an actual GBA port that benefited from 32-bit hardware compared to the SNES's 16-bit hardware. It may be a port of the SNES versions, but it introduces actual improvements. This can be used as example of surprisingly improved ports of bad games.

zombie poodle? They should have gone with zombie chihuahua. It would've made the game far more terrifying.

Hmmmm... smaller target, way less cute, probably considerably faster, and one of the more aggressive breeds of dogs... you make a valid point.

No love/hatred for the original PC port of Dark Souls?

Even without mods, I'm pretty confident the PC port was a little better than the original Xbox 360 version; the playthrough of the 360 version I've watched started out well, but turned into a slideshow for a small part of the beginning of Blighttown!

An alternate title for this video could be "Five Times Capcom Made Awful Ports of Otherwise Great Games and Also Two Other Awful Ports Made By Other Companies, But Still Mostly Capcom."

ngl I read the title as "7 Worst PARTS of Legendary Games". And I'd be keen to watch that. I'm thinking certain levels, certain outdated mechanics, maybe the inclusion of microtransations, go wild.

Replica By the Fireplace. The burnt sugar note is really on point, but the best part about that perfume is the fireplace accord. It smells like a cotton sweater the next morning after a bonfire. One of my favorite smells of all time

What about the Streetfighter 2 port for the Master System? It was available in South America. But I guess, that was actually a really good port.

This topic easily lend itself to another video that centers on the worst PC ports of Legendary Games e.g. The Last of Us (Part I), the original Dark Souls, Grand Theft Auto IV, etc. Some PC ports are legendary * because * they're so awful and still haven't been fixed to this day.

I had that Amiga version of streetfighter 2, needed to plug in a megadrive controller to make it playable. And so so many disc swaps to play a match !

When I got my very first PC, my dad installed Street Fighter II on it and, holy hell, it was completely unplayable. It was a mess.

The worst "ports" for me have ALWAYS been simultaneous releases on last-gen consoles. I still remember buying Dragon Age Inquisition for the Xbox 360 and the opening hour being so terrible with missing textures, super slow loading, and weird sound issues that I just turned it off and waited a year until I had an Xbox One to play it.

One of my worst disappointments was when I bought Spider-Man 2 - the 2004 game that was a tie-in for the movie - on PC. I had tried the PS2 version and, like everyone else, was impressed by how fun it was to web swing in an open world New York. I was expecting to get the same game. What I got was a non-open world game where you could web swing if you aimed at some floating glowing orbs. Pretty awful.

The flicker on Pac Man would not have been as bad on a CRT screen. Whoever did this capture also appears to have not synced the framerate correctly, which it why it looks like you can only see two ghosts at a time.

Final fight was such a fun game though. Turbo controllers made that game hilarious. You’re swinging a pipe so fast the screen is a blur and Andre comes right on over to you, testing the pipe with his face 😂
