It's Funny how Nights it's out for PS2 now.....

.....12 years later

[Yagya]

only in japan though, i got a copy shipped to me though, can't wait to see the updated graphics!

[Gerogoth]

i'm not talking about graphics i mean the quality of games

[Yagya]

then you should've said that.

otherwise it's like you're comparing a system to a single game.

Playstation did have a shitton more releases than the Saturn, thus having far more quality games, but some of the exclusives for the saturn are considered gems.

NiGHTS

Virtua Cop

all the Panzer Dragoons

Dragon Force

Radiant Silvergun

are some of the top dogs, if you ever consider giving a saturn a go, give those games a shot as they are really quality titles.

[Gerogoth]

Dude, Playstation is way better then that peice of shit!

[Yagya]

your "imo" is just that, an "imo"

Saturn could actually process 2-d a lot better than the playstation. it was big in Japan, if iirc they're still releasing a game or two every so often for the saturn over there because it runs 2-d games so well..

i don't think i've ever heard of lasting support like that for the playstation.

"There's never been a game like Sega Saturn's Nights. Never been a game that's a allowed you to fly fluent and free in real-time 3D. Never, not anywhere. But especially not on that other system. Simply because with only one processor, it doesn't have the power to do it. Fly, plaything, fly. You're not ready."

@Yagya I wish it was released in America. :-(

[SmallGreenPlanetoid]

what's the music? It's been stuck in my head for 15 years.

terrible commercial

[BenJabituya]

I got the Nights - Journey of Dreams game for my Wii. I play it with a Gamecube controller.

@JonErich what you say is pretty much true, but when they say the Saturn was better at 2D than 3D, they are pretty much talking about graphics. The fact that Nights had 2D gameplay was a design decision because in an early version of the game, free flyng in a 3D world turned out to be pretty hard and frustrating to play. (see Superman 64 for a good example of how crappy it might have been)

I bought this (and the analogue pad) with my Saturn back in the day.

Well, actually my Gran did - it cost her about £450. I was only 11 years old; my Saturday job didn't quite cover the cost ;p

Anyway, cracking game!

There are some inconsistencies with Sega's propaganda message. While the Saturn was a sophisticated piece of hardware for it's time and could display 3-D objects very well, it wasn't meant to be a true 3-D platform. It was meant to be a more highly advanced 2-D gaming system and therefore, making fully 3-D games was not easy. Nights here is a perfect example. The game has a 3-D world, but mostly plays like a 2-D game. Yuji Naka even admitted this during the development of Nights.

[TrevorUberMann]

yeah... SEGA!!!

[Ahmidsviper]

the PS was an ugly system compared to the Saturn with it's classy glossy and textures skin

[Forzaabruzzo]

The Saturn could've competed well in the market against the PS and the N64. They had the marketing and the 3rd party support (in the beginning) to do so! Unfortunately Bernie Stollar being brought in as new president of SOA is what led to the Saturn being abandoned. He publicly came out and said that the Saturn was history and that SOA was completely focusin their attention on developing their next console (Dreamcast).
