PSX version screenshots

I'd like to know what PSX version of Snatcher does look like, i haven't been able to find any screenshots of the game, nor Saturn version anywhere. I've only seen those CGI cutscenes, thanks to Snatcher(the member) who has uploaded those at this site. Is the artwork much different(besides more sharp graphics of course) in these latest versions of the game?

It is rather different, yes. Not in a good way either (a lot of censoring). Not to mention the music during gameplay sounding like elevator music.

(Saturn screenshots are what Playstation version looks like pretty much, except the PS1 version contains even more censoring than the Saturn version does, in other words, the PSX version is the worst version of the game, undoubtedly).

So i have heard...
It's lucky that the only version which was released in Europe and US doesn't have that much of censoring as it could have.

Times change, huh? The UK are jackasses when it comes to censoring things. They rated Die Hard 4.0 a 15, whilst in the US, it was PG-13! Haha.

Not to mention when they banned Manhunt 2 (no other game has been beforehand in this country).

I'd like to see videos of the actual gameplay from the PlayStation and Saturn versions just out of curiosity. And also videos of Outer Heaven in those versions so I can see if the TwinBee characters are there. :D

Holy jesus, a PSX game running in 256x224 resolution. I never noticed this about PSX Snatcher. What lazy jackasses to not even up the resolution to a decent level (really, I don't see why Snatcher and Policenauts couldn't have been running in beautiful 640x480).

The PlayStation version of the game seems to be the worst. Have I understood correctly that the Sega CD and PC Engine versions share the same graphics (ignoring PC Engine versions slightly clearer image)?

^ Indeed.

Even her artwork in the PC-88/MSX versions was better than this.

It's the equivalent of a PG-13 though. I mean, how likely is it that anyone's going to get ID'd going into a movie rated 15+? I don't really know what it's like over there, but I'd imagine no one is getting uptight if a twelve-year-old walks into see Die Hard 4.0.

I know the UK is a bitch about censoring movies though, and I'm thankful that the US is (so far) free and easy about allowing just about anything to pass uncensored.

Oh, the reason it hit a nerve back then was because my brother was a big fan of the Die Hard films, like myself. So he couldn't go see it with me and my friends (all of us were 18, so none of us got ID'd), so it annoyed me a lot, and him.

And yes, my brother is 12 and they've ID'd him for other 15 certificate films before, they are very uptight about it over here, I'm afraid. (Where we go, anyway).

It annoyed me even more when I did see Die Hard and saw how unrealistic the violence was in comparison to the first, therefore, the 15 certificate was not warranted, in my view, at all. It had very little in the way of 'brutality' I thought. *shrugs*

Oh well, middle finger for you again, BBFC, you uptight weirdos.

I believe a cinema (movie theatre) is fined if they let someone in if they're not of a legal age to see the film. Of course, no one inside the cinema takes note if they see a 17 year-old watching a 18-rated film, but the idea of getting fined is enough to make the staff more strict about it.

LOL! When ever a company tries to update an old product they wind up fucking it up.

Remakes are sometimes good but this "port' it over to X system and mod the hell out of it (read censor) is always a cluster fuck.

Such is life...

Poor Snatcher... Oh well! We always have the PCE-CD "ROMantic" and Sega CD versions! :wink:

I don't know, there are differences present but most of them seem to be not that bad. It's just a different way of imagining it. The corpse screenshot seems like a more artistic way of looking at it, really.

It is not a bad thing to be different.

The art isn't what gets on my nerves, neither does the censoring...

It's the God-awful music, which is some of the worst I;ve ever heard in a game before. Seriously.
