Yeah I think with probably most all of the neo games given their age there was no real incentive to provide them with decent sound considering most of them would find their way into mono conversion cabinets.
Sure MVS was stereo bye default but Jamma wasnt back then ,look how long that took to happen.
Samsho 1 seems to have better sound through headpnones than the rest of the series I think ,not sure whats going on there ?

yup...same here. Last week i was playing SS2 with a headset on and in the winpose of Genjuro,he smokes a sigarete and blows out the smoke. I never heard that soundeffect of when he puffs out the smoke but with the headset on,i heard it..... went like,WTF?i never heard this before.  Some goes for many games and the soundeffects in them or some notes or instruments in the music while playing.  |

I don't know much about Nazca (apart from it being ex Nazca employees apparently), but I heard that those employees from Nazca went to work for SNK, so the later games in the series (apart from 4) were all done by the same people more or less. Games like Metal Slug 4 were licensed out to Mega Enterprises etc while Playmore/SNK were still restructuring - at that time they probably couldn't produce any games in house. The problem with this is that it led to lower quality games, meaning SNK Playmore got the blame for them not being up to scratch. Some might say that they shouldn't have licensed these games out, but at the end of the day they had to at least produce a few titles so the fans knew they were still there. Same goes for that past couple of KoF games (KOF 2000 was the last made by the old SNK), but now development is being done back where it should be (with SNK themselves) we should hopefully see much better quality titles. If Metal Slug 5 and KOF 2003 are not up to the quality we would expect then I would expect a serious backlash from the fans... As for the headphone thing, I definitely agree with that. At night-time I often plug a pait of headphnes into my TV to play Neo stuff, or any games for that matter, or even movies. Because you can't hear anything else that is going on around you, you really get sucked in by the atmosphere of the game, which is very cool. It's especially good for horror games like Silent Hill... it really leaves you feeling on edge!  Candycab: I've heard a lot of people say that they thought SS2 sounded worse than SS1, but I don't agree personally. A lot of people actually think that SS1 is a better game overall too, but I guess that's a subject for another game discussion . Speaking of that, I'll change the topic for discussion to MS2 when I get home from work later. Kaz |
