I'd like to point out that Jean's head is not missing from the Saturn version, the head is shown as the camera shifts upward. I'd also like to point out that Isabella's outfit is black in the Saturn port.
Damn, Jean-Jack's corpse looks a lot more terrifying on the Playstation, with the supremely dark, washed-out color scheme. I'm sure it's just to censor out the red of the blood, but even so...
Call me crazy but I think the MSX2/PC-88 versions look the best. They have the smallest color palettes but they really have a lot of character as a result: compare Gibson's death scene or the shot inside the car for example.
havent played psx/saturn versions, but i don't like that they gave the characters a more "anime" makeover... i like my pixellated old school npcs! (pc88/msx have best music...discovered alot of parallels with metalgear2 for msx :)
At 2:09, I see Power Pro-kun from the Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū series in the PlayStation version, while I see Sparkster from Rocket Knight Adventures and its same name sequel, and Bill and Lance from the Contra arcade and series in the Sega CD version. I also see Goemon from the Ganbare Goemon/Mystical Ninja series in both versions.
Anyway, here are the release years of all versions from first to last: MSX2/PC88 (1988), PC-Engine CD-ROM (1992), Sega CD/Mega CD (1994), PS1/Saturn (1996).
Wow, there some really drastic improvements in each console. . .I still like the CD version better BUT the detail of Jean Gibson's death scene and Metal Gear Mk. II in the PSX/Saturn versions are magnificent . . .Jean's death looks more brutal without the head and Metal Gear looks more belivable in those versions. . .
I totally agree with you. The PSX/Saturn versions look too cartoony while the Sega CD has a more gritty and realistic feel that really adds to the game.
i say this game kiiiinda reminds me of the movie Blade Runner with Harrison Ford and i don't mean to sound dumb, lame, or anything but i dunno. what do u guys think??
Yeah, he loosely based this game to Blade Runner, Terminator and Invasion of Body "Snatchers". . .most (or maybe all) of his games were based on movies like Metal Gear for example--based on the film Escape From New York where the main character also happens to be called "Snake". . .even Policenauts as well (Alien, Blade Runner, Lethal Weapon)
it was inspired by blade runner. there are quite a few obvious spots. i also believe i read the creator in the interview saying it was an inspiration.
the sega cd version looks the best to me overal a bit brighter then the pc engine version and i heard and belive that the colour limitation was reduced in this sega cd version and that in some way they carnked up the colours.sega cd isn't a flop to me i still enjoy tthe games for it more then 10 so,final fight sonic jaguar etc it had potential and the colours could have been more defnitly up to 200 but programming skills and lazyer programmers,the system showed great 3d,perhaps the 1st 3d HC.
Oh wow. After finishing the Sega CD version, I'm surprised at how badly Jean Jack got owned in the other versions, and I'm really shocked that they got away with a lot of the things they did in that day and age.
Sega CD version by far the best, Saturn and PSX versoin is fail. so strange that the inferrior systems did a better job at the game. heck even the MSX2 did a better job.
Even though as a Snatcher fanboy I also say that Sega CD has the best graphics overall, I still think that Saturn/PSX had some pretty good graphics in general for the areas (Not so much characters) just because it was more detailed and such.
GREAT post. i have always wondered about the other console versions of the game. who remixed the song? that was ridiculously awesome!!! a lot of the music from the game is still good.
i have always liked my pc engine games and visuals more because for the most part are original versions. this video shows a little of the butchery that ports(games changed for other countrys besides japan) received. besides less sexual themes(:56), religious reference and all the making fun of other races, most storylines period were taken away from the ported games. anyways, sega cd as a whole your getting butchered "ports" but they are at least in engrish. pc engine delivers but in jap.<3NEC
Although I love the PC-E version, I still like the Sega CD best. People rush too much into the whole "Sega CD is censored!!" and dont really know how little was really changed. Again, I love the PC-E version, but the added intro sequence, the completed Act 3 and the better sounding soundtrack (just by a little) make the Sega CD version the best for me...
Looking at this video I'd say that the Sega CD version is the better of them. it's the least edited if it at all I've played that one and I should again to see if there is anything I missed. The biggest thing I noticed was the shot of the Dead Junker. The PS and Saturn versions took out Jeans severed head and toned the blood down a lot.. After plaing the game and seeing this it makes me question would Snatchers act like, yeah before we go we should clean up this wall and take his head with us
Kojima should bring this game back to current consoles like X360 & PS3. make a HD Uncut Enhanced version, but keep US Sega CD one as optional as well, and a sequel after that, it would be nice. Also should make a US translation of Policenauts to today's consoles as well. I think they are better than the Metal Gear series, In my opinion. Kojima please bring these game back. (US Translation Compilation would even do as well)!
people complain it's edited. where!? probably 2 seconds of sex scene? stupid nerds... look at 1:55 you fucking nerds! does that look edited to you. sega cd looks the bloodiest
1:15 - Boy, how many times has THAT shot been used in film and video games? Hell, Duke Nukem does that pose just before going "I'm back!" in Duke Nukem II. I think that was based on The Terminator? Not sure.
The mega cd/ sega cd version is considered the best and I agree. I have an original mint copy of the sega cd game and it was the MUSIC which made it the best in that version. I cannot believe that the PLaystation/saturn version was worst.
No serious Sega CD collection is complete without a copy of "Snatcher."
Despite most of the games released on it in North America, this system still managed to have a decent share of truly great games. It's just too bad that most of the greats for the Sega CD/Mega CD stayed in Japan.
I've got a copy of this game myself as well. I just need to get around to playing it.
Same here. Actually, despite not showing Gibson's head, it looks more gruesome to me than the other versions... the muted colours make it look almost photographic.
HELL'S TEETH! I just checked this badboy out on ebay. £100 for a retro sega cd game!!! Hmm if I put a £! aside everyday i can play it in 100 days time! I may have to quit coffee... but then again i'd still have to buy a sega cd just for one game. That is unless Policenauts ever gets translated....
You know how much I payed for a copy of Snatcher? £3 at my local Gamestation. I shit you not, and because it was buy one get one free I got a copy of Micro Machines V3 with it for nothing.
But yeah, I just got very lucky. Haven't you ever heard of emulation? That's how I first played it. ISO or the original disk, Gens can play them both.
But... that was a rhetorical question. You really haven't heard of emulation? If so I honestly don't know where to start in terms of explanation. I'm sure a google search would be good start.
I think you'll be able to find the iso at "Rom Bomb". Remember you'll also need the bios files. Just remember that for later.
1:08: I wonder why the Sega CD version was the only one to have a Madonna poster in Harry's room while the other versions had Marylin Monroe. 1:25: LOL, Metal Gear looks stupid in the PlayStation and Saturn versions.
The Sega CD version is superior, I agree. It was the only one to be translated (It also didn't exist in Japan on the SCD), the voice was done well, and the Sega CD hardware supported it nice. The bloody scenes weren't butchered like the PSX and Saturn versions, and the graphics, colors and resolution were a touch better than the PCE. The SCD was also the only version to have light gun support.
i think the sega cd version looks like the most rounded one,pc engine always has that a bit feel to it,the graphics of a pc engine cant touch sega cd.
Cool vid. There are a couple more differences that aren't appropriate for Youtube. PCE version is the best, but you gotta play the Sega CD version first, then learn how to spell Napoleon in Japanese (ah memories).
The colour palette of the Mega CD version is slightly reduced compared to the PC Engine (which is considered by Kojima as his director's cut). The only addition of the MCD version is the longer intro, inspired from the PCE manual. The MCD sequenced music is not as great as the PCE one, and some of the CD tracks are entirely different. Still the MCD version is enjoyable.
As for the PS1/Saturn ports, the chara-design has been completely changed, and unfortunately not for the better.
Sega CD is the PC-Engine but more, which might i add is regarded as the best JAP release of the game. Its in English yeah, but theres more additions than changes, and the few changes arent all that bad. And yeah, non Japanese speaks dont exactly have a choice either
I'm gonna say it's a toss up between the sega cd and the pc88. I have the sega cd version, and I don't speak japanese, so I might be a little biased.... regardless, the psx/saturn versions look terrible
okay, gonna defend one sceen for the Saturn version cause I think metal looks the best in the sceen where he is rebuilt with the system the game is out on under him. Metal Gear Sega Saturn is the best out of those 4 lol
the sega cd version is the best. ironically. it's the only version of snatcher in english and it's the best version. even more ironic is that the sega cd snatcher is the only version to be never released in japan
Never played this game or head of it untill now the sega Cd version looks much better also PSX and Saturn has the head missing in the decapitation pictures also sega CD has Sparkster init. Also I'd have to say this must be the first time konami has released a game on multiplatforms that has altered storylines and features before metal Gear solid on the PS1, PC and GC.
wrong, a year before snatcher, metal gear was released for msx and nes and oh boy in the nes there's not even a metal gear in it, isn't that fucking point and name of the game? so if you don't call that a "game on multiplatforms that has altered storylines " then wow.
metal gear solid's story wasn't changed when ported. plus the one on gamecube is a remake made by a totally different company, so it is not in any way a game released on muliple platforms
The SEGA CD version looks the best. The MSX2 version looks better than the PC ENGINE. PSX & SATURN look like they altered some of the graphics & they look worse on some of the screens.
Another difference I noticed is that the Sega CD version has a bit extra in the intro. Right before Gillian takes off he talks to his wive for a few seconds beforehand. This isn't in the PC Engine version.
I think the Sega CD version of Snatcher takes the cake, really. The PC-Engine version is close to it, but the colours all look much paler and more washed out. The PSX and Saturn version are really disappointing in terms of artwork and colour; the best Playstation screenshot is the shot inside Outer Heaven with Isabella onstage. It's actually *better* than the Sega CD version. (Why in the world did they give her a green bikini? What was wrong with black?)
Nice video, although it isn't very clear. I like the Mega CD version best. I think the PSX/Saturn version kind of try too hard and look un-naturally realistic as a result. Why is Gibson's severed head blue in the MSX version?
Watching both videos it's really no debating that the Sega CD version looks the best of them all.

The colour palette of the Mega CD version is slightly reduced compared to the PC Engine (which is considered by Kojima as his director's cut). The only addition of the MCD version is the longer intro, inspired from the PCE manual. The MCD sequenced music is not as great as the PCE one, and some of the CD tracks are entirely different. Still the MCD version is enjoyable.
As for the PS1/Saturn ports, the chara-design has been completely changed, and unfortunately not for the better.

I honestly like the music in the Sega CD version more than the PC-Engine version.

The final act is also much longer in the Mega CD version than in the PC Engine CD version.

I have been wanting to try this game for a while, remember when I was a kid peeking through some preview of this game and being scared by the visuals
It would be nice if they ever considered to remake it, as the ds could be a perfect fit..

Damn, i loved that game! I'm glad at least Konami had the cojones to release this game, Snatcher in the U.S.!
Pity the same couldn't be said about Policenauts.

Sega CD is the PC-Engine but more, which might i add is regarded as the best JAP release of the game. Its in English yeah, but theres more additions than changes, and the few changes arent all that bad. And yeah, non Japanese speaks dont exactly have a choice either

I'm gonna say it's a toss up between the sega cd and the pc88. I have the sega cd version, and I don't speak japanese, so I might be a little biased.... regardless, the psx/saturn versions look terrible

You didn't know? Count the Hollywood references in Kojima's work. You will lose count.

okay, gonna defend one sceen for the Saturn version cause I think metal looks the best in the sceen where he is rebuilt with the system the game is out on under him. Metal Gear Sega Saturn is the best out of those 4 lol

the sega cd version is the best. ironically. it's the only version of snatcher in english and it's the best version. even more ironic is that the sega cd snatcher is the only version to be never released in japan

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Play with the keyboards and the guntoys are way cooler, so the Sega CD version is not the best.

You say this because you haven't tried games like Lunar 1 & 2, Shining Force CD, Popful Mail and Final Fight CD.

Never played this game or head of it untill now the sega Cd version looks much better also PSX and Saturn has the head missing in the decapitation pictures also sega CD has Sparkster init. Also I'd have to say this must be the first time konami has released a game on multiplatforms that has altered storylines and features before metal Gear solid on the PS1, PC and GC.

wrong, a year before snatcher, metal gear was released for msx and nes and oh boy in the nes there's not even a metal gear in it, isn't that fucking point and name of the game? so if you don't call that a "game on multiplatforms that has altered storylines " then wow.
metal gear solid's story wasn't changed when ported. plus the one on gamecube is a remake made by a totally different company, so it is not in any way a game released on muliple platforms
every single thing you said was wrong..

The SEGA CD version looks the best. The MSX2 version looks better than the PC ENGINE. PSX & SATURN look like they altered some of the graphics & they look worse on some of the screens.

Sega CD, best version ever. I hope for a remake of that game for Wii, or a virtual console port.

Another difference I noticed is that the Sega CD version has a bit extra in the intro. Right before Gillian takes off he talks to his wive for a few seconds beforehand. This isn't in the PC Engine version.

Great Video! Whats sad is the quality of the PSX and Saturn versions are shit compared to the Sega CD and PCE Versions..wow.

I think the Sega CD version of Snatcher takes the cake, really. The PC-Engine version is close to it, but the colours all look much paler and more washed out. The PSX and Saturn version are really disappointing in terms of artwork and colour; the best Playstation screenshot is the shot inside Outer Heaven with Isabella onstage. It's actually *better* than the Sega CD version. (Why in the world did they give her a green bikini? What was wrong with black?)

I only played the Sega CD version and had a look at the MSX version. But i would have to agree that the Sega CD version is the best.

Nice video, although it isn't very clear. I like the Mega CD version best. I think the PSX/Saturn version kind of try too hard and look un-naturally realistic as a result. Why is Gibson's severed head blue in the MSX version?
