  • Alllllright Ladies and Gentlemen since 1996 you’ve either preferred the PS1 version or the N64 version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, but which one is actually better? Well yes it’s all a matter of personal preference and so that being the case, here’s mine. While I preferred the PlayStation as a system in its whole over the Nintendo 64, I did enjoy both systems very much. Watch as I take a quick look into both versions and ultimately find which one I like more.
    Enjoy!

    The PlayStation version is more complete, more characters, more music etc. the only strike against it was the loading time.

    • @musicvideoenhancer
      @musicvideoenhancer 6 дней назад

      But in the end of the day, even with a little more content, the experience is simply not as good as on N64. Fighting games meant to be fast paced, and having 0 loading times makes a huge difference. Plus, Goro and Kintaro are more a gimmick than serious characters to use, and the Mk 2 and Mk 1 characters, feels like some half baked bonus than really fun and functional characters. But I give the sound aspect for playstation.
      Other thing that he forgot to mention, is that bosses can perform fatalities on N64 (Motaro and Shao Kahn), on PS1 they don't. So it kind of balance things, one has 7 more characters and tracks, other has better Shang Tsung, no laoding times and Bosses with Fatalities, it depends on your taste, it's not so objectively better in one or another.

But, I could be wrong on this… it’s been at least twenty years since I tried to play Trilogy on PC natively.

      Originally, yes the N64 version was actually going to use a cartridge with more memory. A beta got leaked which has stuff like Unmasked Sub Zero, not being able to jump cancel crouch kicks, and stages like The Bank and Kahn's Arena. Sometime later in development, they canned the larger cartridge space for some reason.

    Another great video! I hope you're feeling better, I think this is another example of where you can't go wrong with either version you choose. They both have there strengths and weaknesses such as the audio and graphics looking more crisp and clear on the Playstation, while the n64 version is much more blurry and the audio sounds more muffled. There's also one of the worst glitches on the Playstation version where if you beat the game while playing on a Playstation 2, the game will crash before you are sent to Shao Khan's hidden treasures 😮 There's also the slower lower pitched music and no Animality theme on the Playstation version.

    A very enjoyable video, Darryl. I played the PlayStation version growing up, and more recently the PC version released on GOG Galaxy - which is very good! An interesting thing about the N64 version is that some stages have more detail to them; The Deadpool has a red sky behind the grates, and Khan's Kave has a glowing floor and animated clouds in the background. I guess you could argue it's the more complete version in that sense. Great video as always 👍

There's loads you can configure and I barely scratched the surface, but I managed to emulate scan lines and add a screen curvature effect to GOG Trilogy - it looked really good!

      Tbh the Sega Saturn version of MK Trilogy didn't sell very well so there's very little copies of that game out in the wild.

Used copy of that game cost between $90-$250 and that's just use with a scratch disc with no jewel case. If you want a complete jewel copy with manual and the game disc then the price jump to around $300-$600. If you're smart you could just buy the GOG version for $10 saving you a Nintendo Switch/PS5 value price. If you don't have enough money to get a complete in box copy but really want one you could always use those buy now pay later apps provided you don't get yourself caught in financial hardship while doing so. A lot of those apps are also very scummy and there's no guaranteed they won't screw you with their service.

    As I understand it, the N64 needed serious compression to get everything to fit and the audio suffered as a result. The PSX version had excellent audio and content, thanks to the storage space of the disc, but was infamous for loading delays, especially involving Shang Tsung morphs.

    Love the video bro. Great breakdown of the games. The loading on PS 1 sucks yes, but I also don't like how they changed the music for some stages. Its not the music that's supposed to be playing. Even like on the sanctuary, on 64 it sounds almost like the Sega version on UMK3. And on PS1, it sounds closer to OG arcade. Some of those inconsistencies bother me as an old school MK fan.

    In simplest language 32-bit versus 64-bit just refers to how many lines of code the processor can chew through at once & how much memory it can address at once. Generally the N64 version is more visually impressive but it was often missing multimedia elements. Since the 5th generation had the additional X-Factor of CD versus Cartridge, there are times where the higher storage capacity of the CD based PS1 would come off superior despite having a “lesser” CPU & graphics & other times where the quicker load times in general, smoother graphics & usuall especially having access to the full content of the game without having to load things in & out from the disc into memory made for the better experience.

    I have the most experience with the PSX version. The only thing I don’t really like is the long load times but that’s with any original PlayStation game. On N64 my cousin had it and since I wasn’t familiar with the controller layout I didn’t find it much fun.
    I just can’t get over the compressed sounding audio and voices on the N64 and the music not playing on the correct stage.

    While they're are both fun there's not much to do in MK Trilogy for the PS1 since every characters had been unlock for you from the get-go. The only other character is a randper version of the ninjas. In the N64 version you at least had to unlock most of the stuff and find other secrets. The PS1 does had more characters but most of those contents were recycled from MK3 and Ultimate MK3.

    Technically, bits could refer to a few different things.
    1. Address space. All the memory locations and other chips the CPU needs to be able to send/receive data and commands to/from will be mapped to this. More bits = more memory and functionality.
    2. Data bus bandwidth. This is basically how big the chunks of data moving in and out of the CPU are. More bits = more data being handled.
    3. Internal data type processing. This is how big the chunks of data the CPU can perform operations on are. More bits = the CPU can process larger numbers, make calculations with more precision, and get work done more efficiently.
    Of course, marketers just ran with More bits = more better. In reality, it depends on how well engineered the CPU, chipset, and logic board are, as well as how good the programmers and designers are.

      This, 100%. And Jaguar was marketed as a 64-bit system because (a) it had two 32-bit processors (one mostly for graphics and one mostly for sound and I/O, and 32 + 32 = 64 😒, and/or (b) one specific component of one of the processors that was dedicated to data transfer was 64 bits wide. (An important component, but not the end all be all component and certainly not more important than any other.)

    In the N64 version you get an extra arena called The Star Bridge, which is just the Pit II with a starry sky background. You also get the Hidden Portal and Noob's Dorfen stages (with a cheat code) from MK3. The PS1 version lacks all of these stages. However the PS1 version has Kahn's Arena and The Bank, which the N64 version is lacking.
    Also the N64 version looks a good bit worse in comparison, mainly due to the missing frames of animation. Even Sega had more frames!

    "Bits" usually were regarding the data width of the graphic processors, but were just one part of a system's architecture.
    SNES had more colors than Sega Genesis, supported sound samples and had a great sound chip and many cartridges had performance enhancing chips like the FX chips.
    Genesis had faster processors and supported higher resolutions than SNES. It's weaknesses were fewer colors, and more difficult sound composition due to using synthesized sound. The GEMS sound driver helped, but not all composers used them well.
    Lots of times Genesis ports or versions were poor because they had less experienced teams, or the publisher cheapened out by only springing for smaller ROM sizes for cartridges on Genesis. Genesis was an underdog for a looong time, after all.
    Neither n64 or Playstation were 2D powerhouses, but for MK Trilogy the PSX was able to have more characters and cd quality sound, so it is my preferred version.

      That's the one thing I would had love MK Trilogy to do cause they did it for Johnny Cage. When I first play MK Trilogy, I saw the new Johnny Cage sprite, I was surprise then I saw Raiden and Baraka and realize both are still in their MKII sprite, I was very disappointed. They could had given both of them newer up to date sprite too. The thing is if you put MK Trilogy Johnny Cage with the MK3 roster, he'll fit right in. There aren't anything weird about him but when you put MKII sprite Raiden and Baraka with the rest of the other roster they don't fit in at all. Their sprites are larger, had different details and resolutions and their animation feel jank cause they are older sprite.

    I never got why this wasn’t in the arcade.

This is a real nitpicky weird thing it notice but I did 😂. I always preferred the N64 version just because I hated load times. I was always an arcade purist (douche) and wanted it to feel like the arcade did. So when games were halted by obvious loading, I was taken way out of it lol.
