Is Resident Evil 2 better on the Nintendo 64 or PlayStation?

Many people consider the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 versions of Resident Evil 2 to be the best versions of the game. Which port do you think is best out of the two?

Not this question!

Eh,i'd say N64.

Better graphics and sound.

PS1 version for Extreme Battle mode and overall better graphics.

n64 had the  3d controls like dino crisis, and extra files, but compressed videos and load times, which was odd for a cartridge. all in all id say the gamecube was the superior release

I vote PlayStation.

N64 is 'smoother' but I think the extra visible pixels on the PlayStation actually help the 'gritty' / 'bloody' nature. PlayStation also has the extra storage capacity which should help with sound effects and music.

firstly, the Dreamcast version is the best, it has a higher resolution than both sharper textures, etc ,  even if it is just a port of the PC version (which itself was a pretty obvious console port)

now, as for the N64 and PS1 versions,  its a mixed bag, the PS1 has a higher texture quality, better sound quality, better FMV quality and slightly sharper backgrounds.

on the other hand, the N64 version has smoother looking characters, who are also better defined, along with a better resolution in some places due to the expansion pack. also it has some extra content and the nice bonus of not needing to swap any discs , since both characters are on the cartridge

its really a mixed bag , I like both though for whatever reason I like the N64 version more.

It's awful on both consoles.

N64 version is very compressed.

PS1 version has no anti alialising, terrible models and bad textures.

I prefer the N64 version purely based on nostalgia. I've played both and they're pretty similar, can't go wrong with either one.

I have the playstation version. So that is my vote. I never played the Nintendo 64 version. The Nintendo 64 has slighty better graphics so if that mattters

I've only got Resident Evil 2 for the PS1 can't really tell the differance if I had it on another console

Yes, and it also has more story and some exclusive content too

It was made with the PlayStation in mind so if you want a "faithful" version get that one.

Just don't expect good graphics or modern controls...

PS version is the better of the two, but the Dreamcast version is the best.

Wait, a 15 year old game on an 18 year old system had poor textures?

No way.

For some reason.... the answer is N64 easily. I loved this game on that console. Maybe it was a superior feeling that I got having the new red graphic enhancer thing that came around that time.... lol That mixed with Nostalgia. I still remember getting that game for Christmas and thinking how cool it was that my parents would buy me such a "mature" game... :P I'm not sure how old I was when I got it... anybody know the release date for the N64 version?

I dont want to do any research right this second... Does anybody remember the chip or whatever it was that replaced the grey one inside the N64? Did it come with RE2?

lol... broken memories, I'm getting old :P

Seriously though, I own both now, and it is one of if not the ONLY game I prefer on a nintendo console with anything after the SNES.

lol no get the n64 version the controls are alot easier to handle r and z easy as that movment with stick lol  ,     ps1 had this wierd x square  configuration i couldnt under stand haha beat it on my psvita twice though , and i gotta say the n64 version looks alot better , even then the original plus you gotta swap discs , sorry thats even a hassle on the gamecube for which i couldnt find the copy of recvx nor 2 on gc those are rarer then 3 4 0 and 1  and the gc looks better then both , so if i were you id get the gamecube version if you can find it

The only positive the n64 has over the psx version are the loading cues. There are times in the psx version when you can hear the drive, or the game stuttering, when an event is about to unfold. Other than that the N64 game is a muddy mess and sounds like you are listening to it underwater.Heirren

Apologies to TC, Darkman... I guess I had a big cuppa "Douche Bag" before posting that...

:oops:

And while the graphics might have been a bit smoother, there's no way on Jah's Green Earth the audio was better on the N64. Not that the audio was spectacularly recorded or produiced in the first place...

The Dreamcast and GameCube versions are superior to the PS1 and N64 versions.

Yea, and you'll see it again a few months from now probably...

The N64 version had Dolby Surround sound added to if IIRC.

The sound in that version was handled by Factor 5s legendary soundsmith Chris Huelsbeck.
