      ***** It's really odd that the Genesis has worse drums than the SNES for this track, normally it's the reverse problem.

    • @GaliMercury
      @GaliMercury 9 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Gender Neutral Chibi Thing My guess is that the sound driver just didn't allow for sample pitch control. As a result, they had to make tons of samples with different tones for the orchestral hits. This took up a lot of space, so the drums ended up rather bitcrushed. They also had to push back the bass drums, toms and snares in the samples so that the orchestral hits would have room; notice how the samples layer orchestral hits against other bits of percussion.
      If you ask me, with the final result and everything, it didn't end up being a bad compromise. Everything still has that MD gain, thus giving it that dense, crisp weight (something the SNES doesn't have, sadly), so the drums certainly don't feel weak to me. In fact, I believe that pushing the drums back gave more balance to the soundscape, making the entire soundtrack much stronger, unlike a lot of other Genesis scores where the percussion takes up a little too much room.

      This is probably one of the best games to showcase that the two sound chips could give great results. You just had to acknowledge their differences and remix your tracks accordingly.
      It's sad some companies couldn't afford the remix, which is why we often had worse music on one of the platforms.

    Sega Genesis had some really hard hitting music. it was a perfect transition from 8bit nes for us. Snes had a superior sound chip in terms of specs, but Genesis just executes so well with their sound chip. sounds so good, like hi def chip tune. where snes tried to synthasize orchestral sounds, but it just sounded fake. Genesis is clearly electronic and doesn't try to do anything more. and to Sega's benefit, when it came to hard rock themes it was amazing.

    • @Lightblue2222

      @JM Coulon awesome. I'm listening to it now. Never played Time Trax before.
      Thunder Force 4, Road Rash 3, and Crew Ball are some other hard hitters. FM drums and FM guitar.
      My all time fav FM drums are in Zaxxon's 2000 for Sega 32X.
      I'm aware many 32X games use sampling, but i was told by a programmer that Zaxxon is all FM.
      At 1st I thought the title track had real drums. It's actually some amazing last generation FM, did a 32 bit game justice.
      I really do love FM, but samples give it an edge, like the drums in Sol Deace "Genesis".
      My fav example of Genesis/32X using samples are both Skitchin and Afterburner Complete, though Afterburner's samples come from the 32X while Skitchin does it from the Genesis alone with EA's latest sound driver. What's most impressive is the sampled guitar. Gives Genesis an entirely new sound.
      Genesis sampling alone is more limited compared to Snes and 32X, but low fi gives it character.

    • @Bloodreign1
      @Bloodreign1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      SNES/SFC games don't sound fake, clean those ears out, it did orchastrated music properly, something the Genesis could not quite do as FM Synthesis is not a proper thing to use for such music, not even in arcades, which relied on FM Synthesis (aswell as PC88 and 98, and Sharp X68000). The Genesis could get some good music out of it, definitely not in the league of the SNES, but the right sound guy could make the Genesis soundchip still sound groovy. But it comesdown to soundfonts used, GEMS vs Cube Vs whatever drivers Hitoshi Sakimoto used. Pretty much anything that used the GEMS soundfont sounded like someone farting out music, or having metal rub metal, it will grate the ears. The GEMS soundfont was used by a lot of western developers, and the sound in their games mostly suffered for it. Now on the other hand, the Cube soundfont was used more by Japanese developers, and was far superior to the GEMS one. If you play Japanese developed games, you'll notice quite the difference from games produced in Europe, or the US. Now the Sakimoto sound driver, the guy Hitoshi Sakimoto pretty much wrote his own drivers, you'll hear it in games like Verytex, Bad Seed, Midnight Resistance, Atomic Runner Chelnov, Gauntlet 4, and a few other Genesis/Mega Drive games. A few other developers used his sound driver, but I can't think of a game off hand that uses it.
      This game here, uses the Cube soundfont. Once you hear the opening demo to Plok on SNES, written by Tim Follin, you'll clearly notice the difference in how great the SNES soundchip could sound, that opening theme is unbelieveable.

      @@Bloodreign1 Snes handles better the samples, but has the problem of discontinius sound between notes, problem which genesis doesn't feel to have, however in terms of power, SNES's soundchip is better.
      Genesis in the right hands handles better the dynamic music (Gunstar Heroes is an example of this), and SNES is Awesome with the quality (Plok really stands out here).
      Both systems soundchip rocks for me.

    The sound design of these instruments is marvelous for the YM2612... It's really a phenomenal soundtrack on the Genny, i cannot stress enough how much of a grand sound this is for the system. Konami musicians and programmers ... They knew their stuff. Even today it's still an inspiration.

    • @florianb3935
      @florianb3935 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes. As an European I always thought that these Genny Konami soundtracks sounded weird, like unsettling (can't find my words, "anxiety-inducing"). I remember Buster's Hidden Treasure as another game that gave me the chills. Pretty early on overall, but it peaked in the Ghost Ship.
      But going back to them, this OST is really amazing in every way possible. Easily among the best not ony on the system, but even through gaming history. Of course, to define a good OST, you have to consider how it helps the whole game as a work, and if you know the limitations of the Genesis (and the best a game could be), this OST is a good part of what brings the experience to the next level.

      It's very sad. Turtles in time SNES (or TITS as I call it) is massively overhyped. The samples all start and end abrupty and there's no natural flow between them. Poor instrument choices. Loud but also cut off lead guitars that drill your eardrums to bits after mere seconds... Combine with the SNES trend of muffling everything and you've got a mediocre score at best. This one bests it in every aspect. The only thing TITS has going for it are the cheesy SNES sprite scaling effects which add pretty much nothing to the game play. I'll always come back to playing this :)

      I also find that it's better than the SNES. You have to remember that this is an adaptation of the Arcade game. The SNES got the "real" conversion, where the Genny had a more libertarian adaptation, so much so that it got another name.
      But when it comes to the sound, the additional work that went into the Genesis version over the original arcade version showed. Also, the YM2612 was actually a pretty good chip to emulate arcade machines. It required talent but you could reproduce almost the same sounds as on the Arcade, for games that didn't rely on samples too much.
      The SNES sound chip is also great to emulate arcade machines. It wasn't made for that, but it was surprisingly good at it. However the memory limitations were insane, and unlike with the Genny, where mastery of the YM2612 could bring you somewhere, on the SNES you only had the option to play muffled low-frequency samples that made whole mix sound like soup, OR (what they did in this game) remove parts of the instrumentation but keep the instruments in high quality. And as a result, the SNES version sounds a bit "dry" and empty. Note how samples are only just as long as needed, where on the Genesis they are long, have decay, etc.
      The memory limitations of the SNES are made worse by the fact that uploading samples was very slow, so you had to upload all the samples for the music, but also the ones for the sound effects at the beginning of the level, and since the arcade game has a lot of samples, it left less space for the music.
      The Genesis version use shitty quality samples and owns it, and instead focuses on the quality of the FM instruments and of the composition, which were both already great in the arcade version. This is what, IMHO, makes the whole mix epic, and genius per say. Trying to be more faithful to the Arcade version would actually have made the whole thing inferior, given the system's strengths. But with these choices it's even superior to the SNES.

      samdroidva The shoulder tackle itself isn't a great move, but when it lands it sets you up in the right position for the body slam throw which is super useful for taking out a lot of enemies quickly since it functions a lot like a free "crowd-control" move. Most of the time if you press the attack button right after the shoulder tackle lands, you'll grab the enemy. But yeah, a good player also has to throw in well-timed jump kicks and dashing slide kicks too, especially for the 'mousers'. That is enough for me to beat the game on Hard, anyway!

    The YM2612 also got decapsulated, so expect perfect emulation from the info the die can give us. The amp filters and such stuff are console specific and really shouldn't be taken into emulation's consideration unless it's specifically an emulator of a specific system.
    They pulled an odd move with their sound driver in this game, as they usually do, but I'm not sure if Rocket Knight is the same. What I mean is that the PCM/DPCM samples aren't played as most games do play them, instead it uses a weird combo with panning on the 6th channel and sample and instrument swapping (they do that on almost all of their 68k stuff, games on Sharp X68k are an example) where they would use the same instrument register and simply write new attributes to it instead of actually switching the instruments which screws up VGM2MID a lot. (or it could just be that VGM2MID isn't compatible with the Konami sound driver)

    Awesome ;) Konami rocked hard with their Mega Drive soundtracks and, even if I'm not much into Turtles stuff, I still appreciate the silly 'n fast fun with a distinctive mood (the music really "sounds Turtles").
    BUT, there's one thing that *has* to be pointed out: the fact that Konami underused the system capabilities with some of their games while on the other hand they mostly used the SNES properly (and even pushed it in many cases) and despite this, Hyperstone Heist for example is more or less as good as Turtles in Times on SNES so imagine had Konami properly used the Mega Drive capabilities for every of their releases for it e.g. Hyperstone Heist for instance could have ran in higher resolution, with more sprites on-screen, etc. whereas the SNES could *not* do such things!
    All of this is revealing about both systems' capabilities. In short: if Konami and Capcom weren't biased towards Nintendo (since Capcom was also guilty of such behavior), history could have been otherwise (i.e. the Mega Drive would have been even more successful than it already was).
    It's even more notable with Street Fighter II since this game literally exploded SNES' sales and was released on Mega Drive only a 1 year and several months later AND with a version which kinda insults the Mega Drive capabilities in some ways* while still being overall the best console port of its time so, here too, imagine a Mega Drive port of Street Fighter II that made full use of the system capabilities? This would have clearly put Sega's console ahead of Nintendo's.
    Sega might have done some mistakes here and there, mostly in terms of management, but they were an incredible company nonetheless, brilliant, innovative and quite generous. And they were continuously on two fronts: arcade and home consumer, so they had a lot to cover but also a lot of competition to face, making their overall achievement all the more impressive. Nintendo on the other hand, although a brilliant company too in some ways, were also questionable in others (such as their practice towards third party developers during the 8-bit days) and their success was partly based on cheap moves, especially the aforementioned Konami/Capcom story.
    *(colors and sound could have been better as recent hacks proved + the game could have run in higher resolution as well)

It only sweetened the selection of good games for owners of either or both consoles.
