  • Here we go with the first of many remastered versions of classic Battle of the Ports videos. The early shows didn't feature a voiceover and only ran in 30fps. Over time I'll be remastering these old episodes with full voiceover as you've come to expect, 60fps captures and adding games that I may have missed in the past.
    So sit back and enjoy this new version of Battle of the Ports, Out Run.
    Please think about supporting the show by subscribing to the channel or becoming my patron. Thank you so much!

    In the arcade version, the little Ferrari horse changes direction as the car changes direction, presumably because it's a mirrored sprite. Here's a rundown of which versions have or haven't emulated this "feature":
    Arcade: has it.
    SMS: no horse.
    Game Gear: the horse is represented by a couple of pixels, they do not change direction.
    Sega Mega Drive: horse is present, looks quite like the arcade version and does not change direction.
    Amiga: horse does not change direction.
    ST: horse does not change direction.
    Amstrad CPC: horse DOES change direction, like the arcade
    ZX Spectrum: Same as CPC. Impressive graphics for the small beast.
    C64: horse does not change direction.
    MSX2: no horse.
    MS-DOS: horse does not change direction.
    PC Engine: horse behaves like the arcade version.
    Gameboy Advance: hah. since this a modern port, they modified the horse so it does not resemble any famous Italian car makers. It does not seem to use reversed sprites, it actually looks simmetrical. Does not look like a sprite flip.
    Sega Saturn: behaves like the arcade. Superior.
    Dreamcast: another modern port, has a re-designed logo that is simmetrical.
    PS2: re-designed logo that is not simmetrical but does not flip.
    3DS: redesigned logo that looks like... a blur. It looks like the edited the animation frames unevenly to change it from horse to ?

      I noticed right away when he showed the Mega Drive version that the emblem doesn't flip. The other versions that I know, the arcade, Saturn, and PCE have it flip, so the MD port jumped out at me. I'm glad someone else took notice. Personally, I like that it doesn't flip on MD.

      As far as I understand, M2's Sega Ages Switch games still run under a layer of emulation of the original games. They tweak the emulated machines in order to implement features the original machines would not be capable of. Which is brilliant nonetheless.

      The Sega Ages OutRun on Switch pales in comparison to the 3D OutRub port on the 3DS.
      The 3DS version is a true port which runs at 60 FPS, is native widescreen, has true fullscreen (the Switch version has borders), it comes with a customization system for your Ferrari (can change color and other welcoming gameplay tweaks), has two new original music tracks made by M2 (which sound amazing), can choose between the japanese or western stage layouts, and the 3D feature really adds to this sprite scaller.
      The Switch version is just a ROM on an emulator with widescreen hack.

Reaching all five end goals will unlock "Arcade Mode", which restores the game to its original form, complete with 30fps frame rate. New songs and Tune-Ups are not available for Arcade Mode.

      Oh, the IBM Compatibles were whooping on the Amiga as early as 1992. Alone in the Dark, Ultima Underworld and Wolfenstein 3D all dropped that year on the PC, and the Amiga was starting to see technically inferior ports of multi-platform games for a change. That was the year the tide began to turn.

    The Amiga version! That intro is epic, then the let-down of the actual game is equally epic but of an inverse trajectory! Equally epic is your reaction!
    The only port I have personal experience with is the C64 version, it's no Turbo Outrun or Power Drift but it's still pretty good in my opinion. I read an online article on the programmer, Martin Webb, he worked with his father, Dennis, who was the graphic artist. Martin was only about 17 at the time. His father was apparently very demanding and difficult to work with, and their relationship suffered as a result after working on different projects together.

    I remember seeing that Amiga for the first time when the game was new. "Wow, this game is gonna look as good as the arcade one," my young stupid head thought because of that still shot while the crazy intro music plays. There were two moments on the Amiga I really felt my heart sink: when the game actually started in Out Run and when the game actually started in the port of the original Double Dragon on the computer. Yeesh. My expectations were in check after those experiences. The Genesis/MD Outrun was good for its time and for some reason gets way more flak than it deserves.
    Also, I appreciate the remaster you've done on Space Harrier and this, bringing them up to your modern standards.

The Cannonball films were named after a very real event called the Cannonball Run (officially the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash), where people try to drive the quickest between the Red Ball Garage in NYC (formerly the Lock, Stock & Barrel restaurant in Darien, Connecticut) and the Portofino Hotel on LA's Redondo Beach... and THAT was named after a race-car driver and motorcycle rider named Erwin "Cannon Ball" Baker who first went coast-to-coast on an Indian motorcycle in 1914 and a Stutz Bearcat race car in 1915. Back then there were no paved rural roads across the country, no high speed routes, no Interstate system and it took a week and a half to do it. The current record is 25 hours and 39 minutes.

    I love these remastered versions of BOTP so much. Thank you.
    Mark III version can be played with the paddle control controller for analog steering!
    So the ultimate setup is, Japanese SMS, Outrun cart + Paddle control.
    It is more fun, not sure if it is easier with paddle control though....
    PS2 version can be forced to 16:9 on real hardware. Underrated gem
    Cannonball, I was following the development of that one. The ultimate version for out run lovers. Amazing. The guy reverse engineered the game. He fixed many bugs and as a result it's the best version.

    Saying a console is a certain amount of bits is marketing BS anyways. It really doesn't matter as long as memory is mapped properly. The part people forget about the PC Engine is that the CPU runs at 7 times the speed of the original NES, which is similar to how fast the SNES is. The biggest advantage being that games were programmed in assembly back then and the PC Engine used the well known and well respected 6502 assembly to program for, wheras the Super Famicom used the 16-bit successor to the 6502 (which ironically could've ran in 6502 mode- why Nintendo didn't go for backwards compatible is beyond me) and the Genesis used a 68k CPU (which to be fair, was much faster than either other console and I believe you could get away programming in C on these?? correct me if i'm wrong programming nerds)
    PC Engine using an 8-bit CPU heavily simplified development at the time and meant all of those wonderful NES and C64 programmers could easily use what they already know to start making games. Hudson were geniuses, I wish NEC would've just rushed the PC Engine to mainstream in the US- a lot of things about the system's design would've been things that appealed to parents more than the US TG16.

    I hadn't seen the 3DS version of the game and had no idea that it gave the perspective of being INSIDE the old cabinet! That's such a neat addition. That will be an early pickup once I eventually grab a 3DS.

    It’s funny how often the C64 outdoes the Atari ST. I “upgraded” to an ST from a C64 back in the day but it often wasn’t much of an improvement. Also, is the Speccy music the same as the ST version?

    I was recently watching some older episodes of Game Sack and came across that Amiga intro in the episode on The Mister. What a bizarre intro it is. It totally doesn't fit the game, but sounds like it's warning you of the horror you're about to experience.
    I had the Master System version when it was new. Those side-to-side segments were weird. I assume they're doing some graphical trickery where they're animating background tiles for those segments to avoid flicker, so either everything or nearly everything is considered a background tile temporarily. Sega seemed to like doing that on the Master System, as seen in Golden Axe and Altered Beast, among others.
    I do like the Mega Drive version. I even like the new music track. The PCE version is very good. You're right about the engine sound, but at least they knew to make that optional. The only other issue was that the roadside objects seemed a bit too close to the road at first, though I think that might have been due to the resolution they used. It didn't take me long to adjust, but I've heard others mention that as well.
    I didn't know about Cannonball until a couple of weeks ago. I may have to look into it.
    One thing I've always liked about Out Run is that the car feels reasonably realistic. I get a good sense of car and road feel from the game, which isn't something I can say about a lot of games that emulate Out Run's style. I know Yu Suzuki has spoken in the past about how the calculations were always 3D despite the game using 2D. Whatever it is, I've always loved the way the car handles in the game and the versions I've played. It feels natural when I play in terms of how long to hold a turn, how much throttle to give, or to feather the throttle, and even how much brake is needed. I find it quite remarkable.
    I do like this project of remastering your early episodes and this was a good place to start. Well done!

    There's another release of the DOS PC version that adds Tandy support. It gives the game PSG music and PCM sampled sound effects. It makes the game more enjoyable, for sure.

    I think the reason the car moves across the straights is that whatever keeps the car from being flung to the sides in the corners may be turned off during these segments, or because the whole background is updating and can't move itself.

    • @genstarmkg5321
      @genstarmkg5321 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The reason is that for the road to move, you need to use a trick that is changing the horizontal scroll of the background for each scanline, which gives that pseudo 3d effect. The thing is that some obstacles are really big to put them on sprites so they use the background, but that means if you change the h-scroll midscreen, you don't only move the road, but you also screw up the obstacles that are drawn to the background. That's why during those sections the trick is not used and instead, they just move the car.
