7 Worst Ports of Legendary Games
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2024
- In 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.

Oh good, Jane's in this video - she's the best one! (Apart from Haggar)
Naturally in the crumby port of this video they'll have to cut one of the presenters.
Hahaha good one
had me lol
Jane's the best one, apart from Ellen
Shouldn't that be spelled Haggar?
gotta love a game with graphics so bad that it just flat out says "Hey, so we lied to you...."
"Okay, we know the game looks like crap, but hear us out-"
"We already have your money. Ha ha ha."
Anyone noticing a Capcom-like theme to this list?
I guess Capcom was really into porting their games into other platforms back then
Didn't notice that in the moment but yeah, 5 of the 7 games on the list were from Capcom or licensed by Capcom.
I think it's largely due to the fact that Capcom was easily the biggest most popular video game creators at the time. Like the fact they were on this list 5/7 times speaks volumes to how bad they were at porting, but also speaks volumes to how amazing they were at making games in general.
I think your just imagining it. There is no way that Capcom would relentlessly sell as many versions of its games (no matter the quality). Lol. At least they have not made a terrible Ace Attorney remake.
@@joshuakirkham9593Hey man Capcom is one of the few companies still around from the 8 bit era. If it took releasing like 8 ports of Resident Evil 2 and 12 ports of Resident Evil 4 to make sure they survived so be it lol
That Batman line is one of the finest pieces of writing I've heard in ages.
And tremendously delivered.
Well done all
The Stonehenge one was the best for me. Pure gold
"processing power of a bowl of spinach" is absolutely going to be my new go-to insult now 😂
it only works for anything not popeye, though...
@@SHADOWofJUSTiCEOne of the best marketing strategies of all time that lol.
also andy says a bag, not a bowl...
@@SHADOWofJUSTiCE True, but the processing powers of bags and bowls of spinach are still on the same level.
@@tubensalat1453
😀😁😆😂🤣😭
the correction had nothing to do with process power...
You got The Rock to do your intro? Moving up in world, grats!
They originally booked John Cena, but he never showed up.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 no, he was there.
@user-mr7bn7wt1d correct. :-)
Now the opposite; Top 7 Legendary Ports of The Worst Games
Good idea! Any suggestions, though?
@@Smilley85 Hard Drivin' on the Gameboy. Yes, the game on this list, the SNES version is very choppy, but the Gameboy version is smooth.
@@kaneaquino8295Any OTHER suggestions? Like 6 other Legendary Ports of Worst Games? Or 7 More Legendary Ports of The Best Games? In case you can't think of any other games for that list?
@@shawnfields2369 another one that comes to mind may be Double Dragon 3. The original arcade cabinets, at least in Japan, had stores that, after paying with real money, your character will know more moves and heal up, whereas on the NES, you use in-game money to heal your characters
It wasn't legendary but the PS2 version of NFS Undercover seems way better than the main versions
The technical details really help me to understand why the ports I played as a child were so, so bad
You know the saying "But can it run Doom?" Well the 3DO sure can't if you give one single programmer 10 weeks to make it. Said programmer having to work with probably one of the most incompetent person in the video game industry at the time, Randy Scott.
The soundtrack for 3DO Doom is pretty good, though.
It's one of those things where it's a terrible game, but the fact of its EXISTENCE just proves that Becky Heineman is a living legend of the game industry. If you make a functional submarine out of teabags, the fact that it's a terrible submarine with little motion and terrible maintenance life is only to be expected; you somehow made a FUNCTIONAL SUBMARINE out of TEABAGS. In, as you point out, far too little time!
Who's Randy Scott?
@@Ice-Climber Definitely a bad boss and probably a very bad person. If you've got the time, look at "Doom's Worst Port Was Made In Less Than Ten Weeks" - or something like that - by Stop Skeletons from Fighting, on this site. It's a great and well-researched video.
@@Ice-Climber I read somewhere that he thought Heineman could just scan drawings of new enemies and weapons into a computer and they would turn into complete, fully spirited and programmed assets in the game. It was like the "We need to tighten up the graphics on Level 3" guys from that Westwood College ad somehow got put in charge of a real development studio.
X-Men vs Street Fighter was the first game I thought of. A tag fighter where you can't tag...yeah. I remember as a kid thinking I was doing something wrong because I couldn't figure out how to do it
Funny that around the same time the NGPC handheld had no issue with tag fighting games...
I genuinely thought that said 'worst parts of legendary games', and based on the thumbnail assumed I missed a bit in RE2 where you get to play a crappy simulated Gameboy within the actual game.
Everyone knows the worst part is playing as Sherry.
I don't know; I think that would have been pretty interesting for the remake, since it took place in that era. A little Easter egg that one of the characters could find and play a Gameboy amidst a zombie apocalypse would be cool
Lol same
Nice to see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson guesting as a presenter this week. Anyone know where Andy's got to?
Dwayne was sitting on him ;(
When Jane brought up Batman's Parents, I got real flashbacks about Andy and Luke as Thomas and Martha.
And that comment has given me flashbacks to Andy as Ninjy's parent in Mario Golf.
I bought Street Fighter for the Commodore 64 for £14.99. To give some context, the game store I bought C64 games sold the vast majority of games for £2.99.
I was not a happy bunny when I got SF2 home and loaded it up!
Probably as disappointed as I was when I bought sf2 for Amiga, just bad.
Ha, yeh, arcade conversions were generally v tough on the C64 given tech limitations so lots of these top tier arcade versions were goddawful on the C64. One big exception was Bubble Bobble, superb translation & technical achievement. Love that game!
(Ghosts n Goblins pretty good too!)
Andy: There's nothing worse than a hit video game coming out and you not having the hardware to run it.
Which is why I'm begging creators to stop de-listing the non-remastered versions of their games on online platforms. Do you know how long it took me to play Dark Souls just because every time I got a new computer that was potentially good enough to run it, you upped the bar again?
At that point id start sailing the seven seas.
I have no moral prerogative against pirating abandonware like that.
Dark Souls was only remastered once, though?
What kind of creaky, ancient machine do you own?, just buy a PS3 or a PS4 or any other super cheap console that can easily run it.
Yeah. I really want to play Dragon's Dogma 2 and Final Fantast y Rebirth, but they're not available on the PS4. (That said, my PS4 memory is almost full, so I'd have had to buy a new console soon anyway. lol)
@@Kartissa Or delete some of the stuff you have on it. But we both know that's not gonna happen.
Oh shoot, I clicked on this thinking it said "7 Worst PARTS of Legendary Games".
Now there is anide for another video, I tell you what.
Would love to see the OXbox/OXtra guys say their opinions on the worst parts of their fave games though. Would be curious on how a certain someone abhors even a trivial bit on Kingdoms of Amalur.
I think they already have, because I remember they talked about the Fade from Dragon Age: Origins. Though weirdly, it was the Fade part from the Mage origin, rather than the tedious Fade part from the Magi Tower.
What about the '7 Worst Ports In Legendary Games'?
I'm sure there are some bad harbours in great games.
Ah a "Ports of call" aficionado I see. It contains all seven of them.
does the half life leech dock count? :p
would they not ALL be Doom and Skyrim??? :D
Fort Frostmoth in the Bloodmoon expansion in Morrowind. No harbour, just a pier, bitterly cold and no Argonian boots available.
@@Brasc one of the Pokemon towns doesn't even have regular ship traffic.... just a sad empty dock.
“The ‘90s were a ridiculous decade.” - a fine expression of one of OX’s core animating tenets
OMG I had the 2600 version of Pac-Man, and I completely forgot how bad it looked. Well, thanks OxBox for reminding me that I'm older than dirt.
As someone who had both games, I was just _waiting_ to see if Jane's other 2600 example was going to be ET, and was not disappointed. Were they both pretty bad? Yes. Did I enjoy them a whole lot as a wee tyke? Also yes. (And also yeah, as someone else noted, hooked up via an RF modulator to a ye olde CRT TV, the flickering of the ghosts wasn't nearly so noticeable as how they were all the same color, vs. other platforms.)
As a fellow old person, I was surprised to find out later that the Atari version of Pac-Man was considered terrible. I remember as a kid being so incredibly stoked to be able to play Pac-Man at home! I'm sure I noticed the differences but I just didn't care.
Really? It seems like it would be actively hard with the ghosts just sort of Nightcrawlering around like that
I wouldn't mind, but I had the Super TVBoy versions, they ran all five sprites!
@@wrathfultickYes, it was actually the first version of the game I was able to play. I was really young but I didn't think it was that bad, same goes for E.T. and some of the other games that people consider terrible.
Rip Andy, he tried to dodge the zombie but rolled a natural 1.
7 Games with extremely long dialogue sequences
Deadpool comes to mind with its "slapping Wolverine" scene. He ends up saying some VERY funny things over the course of spamming the button to slap Wolverine.
That's a very specific list but I've got an entry for it.
Fallout: New Vegas - Old World Blues DLC
You meet the five scientists of the Big MT Research Facility and there's a roughly *15 minute long* conversation.
The mgs ladder
Some sam and max and grim Fandango scenes come to mind
@@mot0rdeththere is no dialogue there tho, but you could add the last acts of every mgs game up to 4 or the entirety of mgs4
@@alexknight81 what about shenmue 2? there's that cutscene where ryo and shenhua walk down a trail for a REALLY long time and talk most if not all of the way, right?
I was about to get at Mike in the comments about Cyclops, but luckily for him he corrected himself
parts? Still did, foe the sake of "Um, Actually" Cyclops is a black belt in both Judo and Aikido, lol.
A zombie outbreak in the studio? Jane needs to invest in better locks on her secret labs. I wonder what caused all those clones to get a hankering for human flesh?
You call this a port? More like a starboard 😏
Hey, you leave T.S. Ark Royal's Starboard Watch out of this!
@@CD-Gaming ... ... okay, I agree to leave T.S. Ark Royal's Starboard out of this. JUST THIS ONCE.
I see what you did there. Next time, please put on trousers first😂
'...well maybe Murder..'😆😆😆
....but it's close, though
Fun fact: There was a “cheat code” for the PS1 version of X-Men vs. Street Fighter that restored the tag battle feature in two-player mode, but only if you and your friend selected the same characters. That way the PS1 still only had to load two sprite sets for the match and just palette-swap them.
The Xbox port of Morrowind
The menus weren't designated for being on a TV across the room, there was no hidden programming console so you couldn't fix it when something broke, no mod support and really long load times due to it having to crash the Xbox half way through.
Jane, I'm going to nominate the sun for "the most important circle in the history of civilisation" because otherwise we'd all have starved to death before we ever got off the banks of the Euphrates.
Thank you
when Jane says its Pacman then its Pacman!
Point a) The sun is an oblate spheroid, not a circle. b) No sun, then probably no life at all, and certainly no human life.
Anyone else felt the need to check how much of the video was left when Andy mentioned the zombie?
So.. Idea for the next pikachu drawing challenge.. Draw pikachu cosplaying as Andy.. Err Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Or Dwayne displaying as pikachu, either would work
Spider-Man Web of Shadows was the most ambitious open world Spider-Man game when it was released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2008, and still one of the best ones to date. The PS2 port? 2.5D sidescroller
Then it wasn't a port.
@@YTKeepsDeletingAllMyComments A lot of ports aren't actually ports. Like any game ported to a handheld console, or even the game on the cover of this video (Resident Evil 2). Not all bad ports are 'the exact same game but with performance issues'
"Well I couldn't finish my assignement but I put zombie pudels in it". Andy is right, I lost the argument. My boss was not happy.
Was all ready to get at Mike in the comments about Cyclops but he got me first!
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.
I can't believe they really hired Dwayne The Rock Johnson to do the intro of this video.
I just started, and I'll be disappointed if "GTA Definitive Edition" isn't here.
_Edited to add:_ I'm disappointed. You will be hearing from my bad AI port of ace attorney.
*Inside a comic style thought bubble* 0BjekShUn!
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.
I'm not a fan of the port in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. I kept getting attacked there.
RE2 also got a genuinely impressive port with the N64 version. They managed to cram an entire PS1 game on a cartridge without losing anything significant (in fact they somehow added some stuff).
Man, it's crazy that you got Dwayne the Rock Johnson to host. Oh wait, that was Andy. Always has me fooled.
I mean you think they would leave Andy to deal with a real zombie in studio? Time or no lol
@@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshieldSure, The Rock could handle a real zombie, but thats because he's The Rock!!
13:20 Still looks more like Leon than the guy they cast in Welcome to Raccoon City.
The arcades in my town didn't have any Final Fight games.
...because Final Fight came out later. They did have Asteroids, though.
...I'm old, and there are wolves after me... (distant howl)
What about Sonic, though?! He can be a circle. 7:04
That Tiger handheld thing doesn't actually look that bad for those of us who played bad PC ports (DOS and C64) back in the 80s, and Race Drivin' looked no worse than the way my 286 handled Stunts. Man, you guys have NO IDEA how low you can scrape this barrel.
And while most of my experiences are on home computers, check out the Gameboy adaptation of Mortal Kombat. It might as well be on a Tiger handheld system -- and I mean one of those sprite-based ones like a Mr. Game and Watch.
When I saw the shots of _Race Drivin'_ I thought that it was _Stunts._
I remember waiting and waiting for the Amstrad CPC port of SF2. Multiple mail order companies had it up for pre-order, Amstrad Action would promise they’d have news on it in the next issue every month. Eventually, it turned out it wasn’t coming and allegedly was never even planned to be a thing in the first place. Probably a good thing, ultimately.
US Gold (and a few other publishers) had a habit of advertising games for the C64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC; but would only actually program the C64 and Spectrum versions.
If the game sold well on those two formats, they'd re-use most of the Spectrum code and graphics to produce a quick and dirty port for the Amstrad.
Is there canonically a zombie just wandering around OX Tower now…?
I think only Producer Dan is in any danger, or the camera person, given they have tonsit still facing away from the entry
Wow they got Dwayne the rock Johnson as a guest
Doom on the Saturn was pretty horrific from memory!
He's forgetting the kind of zombies that are capable of running, as seen in the Dawn of The Dead remake & 28 Days Later.
The very first movie to feature running zombies was the Italian film "Nightmare City"...
The zombies in that film not only could run but they could use weapons (like guns).
Umberto Lenzi not only invented the cannibal movie, he invented fast zombies too!
3 games into the video.. 3 Capcom titles.. I see a trend there
It was really nice of The Rock to sit in for Andy.
Yeah, I'm just glad he's back to wrestling again. People missed him as a wrestler. Sure he was great as Black Adam, but we all missed The Rock as The Rock, because he's the only Rock there is. Not sure if The Rock can do a Hadouken though, but I'd love to see that.
Would you believe I thought the recommended video said "7 Worst Parts of Legendary Games"? Because that'd be a good list too.
Star Wars: TIE Fighter - "Why can I only fly the TIE Defender in at least two or three Battles, with the rest just giving me only the slightly weaker TIE Avenger?"
@@michaelandreipalon359Agreed. Gimme more of my TIE Def!!!
I didn't like Zelda Twilight Princess port for the Wii, simply because I was right handed so the entire map became inverted to compensate. Maybe also because I was so used to the Gamecube version that I played through, the new controls were more of a pain to learn as well as a lot of the special moves you had to unlock. Skyward Sword felt more fluid in its control methods for sure.
Two things to say about that 2600 port of Pac-Man, coming from someone who didn't grow up with the system, but _did_ buy one of those emulator boxes they had in the supermarket for a while for curiosity's sake:
1. That game looks _a lot_ more visually impressive than most 2600 games I've played, and
2. You'd be shocked at how much fun you can have with those things regardless, doing local multiplayer with people passing those clunky joysticks around, trying to figure out what all the beeps and boops and flashing colours on the screen are supposed to even mean
The SNES version of Final Fight was all I knew about growing up and I loved it so I can only imagine playing the arcade version
The circle in which the showdown happens in The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly is the greatest circle in human history.
One of my favorite parts of Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 is that the Pac-Man sprite can only look left and right, so when you're moving up and down, he just stares awkwardly at the wall.
Contemplating how he is likely the worse incarnation of his entire legacy
Back in the day I had Mortal Kombat for the gameboy. It ran so slow that you had to consciously slow down your button pressing because it couldn’t register your special attack combos if you did them faster than a snail.
No love for the Speccy? Right in the feels, that was.
Damn. Did Jane wake up the morning of filming and just choose savage? Even more so than usual i mean...
Maybe the zombie infestation kept her from feeding before filming.
How weird :O That comment about Cyclops's (Cyclops'?) optic blasts being kinetic force was something my gf and I had just spoken about earlier in the week when talking about Force damage in Baldur's Gate 3
As far as the Atari Era, you don't understand what it was like to be sitting on our floor playing something that was remotely comparable to the arcade,it was amazing. It wasn't the games that caused the crash, it was the saturation, and th false advertising.
Wait, Corazon ISN'T played by The Rock?
I read "worst PARTS of legendary games, which also sounds like a solid video concept (albeit one I think they've done multiple variations on already).
Not only should there be a continuation to this video, but you guys should also talk about some of the greatest ports and in general just simply competent ports.

You all should be on the look-out for the under progress OptiDoom 3DO; that could end up being one of the greatest Doom ports.
The original Dead Space for PC could fit here as well. 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. Except for the modern Resi games. And HZD. And Lies of P. And Helldivers 2. And many indie games. And ... -_-
I swear, the original Dead Space also needs a remaster. I don't care if the remake is also good, we just want the OG to be well preserved and be a nice companion piece!
Can't mention Street Fighter 2 ports without talking about the PS1 version of Super Turbo which was so poorly done that the entirety of the top players in the American scene dropped out of Evo the year it was the version played.
Yes, but a certain King Pig-Roach did take 4th place at playing it, did he not?
My, how far we've come. A 1mb drive? My workplace just designed a server for 16 PETAbytes, annually.
The Atari 2600 (subject of the PacMan port) had 128 bytes of RAM. Not 128k. ⅛k. This comment would have been too long to fit into it's memory! ☺
I watched an older in-depth video about how X-Men vs Street Fighter on the PS1 was a bad port just this morning. Weird coincidence.
Capcom is definitely the common denominator in this video lol. Shame on you Capcom!
Capcom was one game short of a sweep here.
He's also not just "quite good at karate," as the other fella said he's "so good at karate he can shoot fireballs."
You gotta include Xmen Origins Wolverine for the ps2 on the commenter edition. I was floored and heartbroken after seeing what I bought after I saw my friend playing it on the 360
Didn't they make a wii port? I think oxtra mentioned it recently
@@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield that one's probably worse
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."
The resi game is legitimately impressive to be honest. Bad, but impressive.
The worst Street Fighter 2 port is the MS-DOS version of the "world warrior" iteration.
Nothing works in that port properly.
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.
"Slideshow of your trip to the local rectangle factory" *chef kiss*
Here’s an idea for a video: games re-released way to many times
i saw this, and just thought "...Skyrim?"
Not exactly a bad example, but there's Age of Empires II.
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.
Ha ha, Mike thinking people will wait a few minutes to correct his Cyclops statement!
What, no "DOOM" on the 3DO? I thought that one would be a shoe-in for this list.
You can play doom on like anything, I think they have recently made one that plays on a riding lawnmower 😂. I wonder if they have a text only Doom, like Zork or Atrocity MUD
Idea for one of those more personal commentary videos: 7 bad video games that you love despite their flaws.
Team Fortress 2 on 360/PS3? It was basically a demo, never got updated, and I don't know if it even had matchmaking. I got The Orange Box excited to see what this huge fuss was about and got... an empty walking simulator in what looked like the backlot of Pixar's "Boundin'"
Mikes face when he says “the ultimate weapon”….brilliant
Not Andy doing a Groucho Marx impression while trying to do a The Rock impression. XD
Damn it, I was so ready to, sarcastically, get at you in the comments. Now what am I supposed to write?
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.
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.
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.
Are there 7 games with strange/iconic pause sounds?
Street Fighter II is one of my favorites!
The Battletoads pause music still slaps to this day. That fire has burned for decades.
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!
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 😂
All these years later and I still hate it when people say "Snes". "S.N.E.S.", please.
Mercenaries 2 on the PS2 absolutely needs a mention
When you game starting to look like a slide show HAHAHAA these games look like the horrible, HORRLE! versions of popular games I made I laughed so hard
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.
Can you smell what Andy is cooking? Can you? No? ...okay, maybe this actually isn't working.
Andy must have been so excited to roast Super Mario Sunshine yet again before finding out they didn't mean sailing ports
3:00 Wait...getting good at karate DOESN'T let you throw fireballs? Now how am I going to avenge my family, win respect from the neighbourhood bullies, save the youth centre and protect the Earth from the falling World Destroyer Form of Xath'Nando the Avatar of Fear?!
Maybe I should have studied engineering for the last 20 years instead so that I could build an Iron Man suit with built-in free energy power source IN A CAVE! FROM A BOX OF SCRAPS! Wait, what do you mean that was a lie too?!
