CHANGES...
~~~~~~~~~~
GRAPHICS:
---------
The graphics between the Dreamcast and XBOX releases of Shenmue II are
pretty much the same. The XBOX version, however, looks sharper and runs
at a higher resolution. Also, the worlds load much faster on the XBOX,
and less slowdown occurs even with a lot of characters on the field.
Also, the buttons on the QTEs reflect that of the XBOX controller S
(not the original XBOX controller).
GAMEPLAY:
---------
The game's objectives, side missions, etc. are exactly the same on the
XBOX as they were on the Dreamcast. Nothing has changed when it comes
to game objectives. However, some items in the Dreamcast version of
Shenmue II that can only be obtained from Shenmue I are in the XBOX
Shenmue II automatically, according to numerous resources.
FEATURES:
---------
Shenmue II for XBOX boasts some extra features. The first is the
snapshot feature, which by pressing the BLACK button, you'll take a
picture of any event in the game (even cut-scenes) and it'll be saved
to the XBOX harddrive. Another feature is the filter system. By
pressing the WHITE button, the color changes to a grey-scale, brownish-
scale, and a bright scale, as well as the traditional color-scale.
Another feature is automatic saving. You can save basically anywhere in
the game by going to the inventory screen and clicking on the XBOX
logo. You'll start at the same place when you start again. Another
feature is Shenmue I: The Movie DVD is included within the package for
the XBOX Shenmue II. It takes the cut-scenes from Shenmue I and turns
them into a movie-like experience. However, a minus from the XBOX
version is that it can't read any Shenmue I saves since Shenmue I isn't
coming to the XBOX (hence Shenmue I: The Movie DVD).
SOUND:
------
Shenmue II for both consoles have one basic difference: the language
spoken in the game. All Dreamcast versions have the characters speaking
Japanese, while Western versions of the DC version (EUR) have them
subtitles into English. The XBOX version is dubbed into English voices,
using many of the paritally-talented actors from the previous game. All
background sounds are basically the same, however, so voice acting was
the only difference.
CONTROLS:
---------
Each button on the Dreamcast and XBOX controller performs the same
exact function between the two games (since the XBOX controllers are
basically a DC-layout with an extra stick and two extra buttons). The
black and white buttons perform the snapshot and filter feature for the
XBOX version, respectively. Otherwise, the controls are exactly the
same as before.
DISCS:
------
The Shenmue II package for Dreamcast spanned across 4 GD-ROMS
(excluding the Virtua Fighter 4 extra in the Japanese DC version).
Shenmue II for XBOX spans one DVD only, eliminating the need to change
discs every so often. The XBOX version overall package is two DVDs,
because of the Shenmue I: The Movie DVD.
CONSOLES, PUBLISHERS, ETC.:
---------------------------
Shenmue II was developed for the Dreamcast initially, and released for
the Dreamcast in Japan and Europe. Shenmue II was ported and upgraded
to the XBOX and released in the U.S. so far. Sega published and
developed the Japanese Shenmue II for Dreamcast, while Big ben
Interactive published the European version of the DC Shenmue II.
Microsoft published Shenmue II for XBOX in the U.S., but Sega did the
porting and upgrading job.
Estas son las diferencias entre una y otra versión, pero resumiendo el de Xbox no ralentiza, va a más resolución y con mejor anti-aliasing, aparte del DVD de la peli.
Yo me lo compré hace nada, por 18 € con el dvd extra me mereció la pena.
