Let me begin by saying that my introduction to the Resident Evil series began with the Sega Saturn port of RE1. It really changed the way I looked at games at the time. Recently I've been getting back into the series, reading into it, trying to grasp the storyline, become familiar with all the weapons and enemies, etc. Something I've noticed during a lot of my online studying of the games, is that the Saturn RE1 takes a lot of unjust trash talk. Everywhere I looked I saw phrases like "It looks nasty", "It's slow", and my personal favorite "OMGROFL SATURN GOT PWNED SONY4LIFE!". My main complaint about this is they never explain why they say that. No details. Nothing. Maybe they are correct. We're here to find out.
This leads me to believe that none of these people even played the Saturn version, or that the initial shine of the game in their minds had already worn dull, so they were just disappointed that it turned out to be...just the same game. I mean they DID play through the game on Playstation about a year before it hit the Saturn. So I'm here to place both versions in a head to head match up. I'll try to cover all aspects of the game and give an unbiased conclusion, with visual representation of course.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.

A very interesting article. While the Playstation had overall the superior port, there were many things which the Saturn port simply excelled at over the PlayStation version and with the addition of new features it certainly was a decent port for the Saturn.
The Saturn is well known for its lacklustre 3d performance, yet like all things that are fought on the internet I believe that the differences between PlayStation and Saturn ports were greatly exaggerated.
The PlayStation was just a far simpler console and it was a lot easier to get it to perform, unlike the Saturn which was unnecessarily complex and 3d games suffered because of this. However when done right the Saturn could give the best looking PS1 3d games a run for their money with all the graphical wizardry such as light sourcing and transparencies. One only has to look at Burning Rangers to see the potential that the Saturn could have had if its lifespan was longer
Another attempted to bash anything playstation related. Seriously, who cares about ps1 anymore when we have ps3 right here?? Damn may be we should find old articles about how the original xbox is trounced by the ps2.
sheesh

Dark Sniper believes that the Playstation version of Resident evil is slightly superior than the Saturn version graphically. Although both games can be enjoyed and played without any major and obvious hitches. Dark Sniper imagines if the internet was prevalent then as it is now, fanboys from both sides would viciously be attacking the other console's port.
The Sega Saturn's issue was being able to generate decent 3D graphics at a solid frame rate. The Shenmue beta is a prime example of what the Saturn is truly capable of. However, Sega Saturn dominates the Playstation when it came to producing great 2D games such as Marvel vs Street Fighter etc.
The next topic in regards to Resident Evil that Dark Sniper has a deep passion and wants to discuss is Resident Evil 1.5. If you dont know what that is, you will soon be educated.
