Samurai 0 for PS2 report (and a surprise)

[Kazuya_UK]

OK I got the game today, here's a couple of brief things I noticed about it:

• Arranged Music - Yeah I'm not kidding. I was surprised as hell about that. Some tracks arranged versions sound REALLY REALLY nice (Nakoruru's stage for instance), although some of the tracks are maybe a bit short and they loop a bit too often if you have a long fight.
  
  
• Load times aren't amazing. They aren't aweful, but it's longer than I expected on the PS2, especially considering how short they were in the KOF games. Sloppy programming but it's really not *that* bad.
  
  
• It is standard SS0, not Special. I expected that really, but one thing that puzzles me a bit is that there's mixed reports of SNKP stating that they aren't going to port Special to any other system (while the USA site still lists a double pack with both SS Zero and Special on it to be released later in the year. I don't know what to think really... I sure hope they port it (and keep the story mode in English and fatalities intact of course).

That's about it anyway... if anyones interested I'll probably do a proper write up on the game after I've spent some more time with it

For those interested in a CRAPPY recording I made of Yoshitora's arranged music using my mic:

It is 357k big so not too big a download... I need to find a way to rip music from PS2 games really, I'm sure there is one. For now that crappy recording with my mic will do (it's not too bad I spose).

That Yoshitora track was really sweet   Could you please record Nakouru's? I hope they use that music on SS0S if it does end up getting ported to the Xbox.

Anyways, though it may have been low the recording was good enough for me to atleast hear how nice the track was. Nakoruru's stages always have my fav. music (besides Yoshitora in SS5) though.

Sure, I'll post it up in a bit - or pop on MSN and get it off me ;D

Once again for anyone leeching this, it's a bad recording cos it's done with a mic... I might hook up the PS2 direct to the PC so I can record direct next time. I just did these so you can all get an idea of how it sounds

This AST kicks ass

Both tracks are quite beautiful. I wonder if snkp will sell them on a cd.
