Road Rash Saturn vs. 3DO

[Rev. Rob]

I loved the 3DO version. If I get the Saturn version, is it pretty much the same thing?

Except there's no music for some reason.

I read that the Saturn also has Soundgarden on the sound track?

Quiet a few saturn games had CDA on them, and you could just play it in a standard CD player. It could also have it in a sound test screen, or inbetween stages, but I think during the driving it doesn't have any.

Yeah there's no music in game. I just couldn't understand it. The Sega CD even had music while in game.

That's freakin' weak!!

Many of those EA 3DO games were either designed or redesigned for the 3DO specifically - EVERY example in my opinion (I have tried most of the common games) is better on the 3DO - some things were simply lost in the porting. That goes for both Playstation and Saturn examples.

[Rev. Rob]

What makes it even more messed up is that the Sega CD does have the music.

Yep just what I was saying.

I played the PC version several years back. It was the same as the 3DO version. Can't remember if it had ingame music though. I think it did...

Going through YouTube, I think all the versions except Sega CD have "generic" music in-game. Strange that only the Sega CD version has the licensed stuff playing.

I was just about to say this myself. Is anyone sure that the 3DO version had Soundgarden in game?

Damn that's retarded. The SEGA CD port is great but the framerate really keeps me form enjoying it as much as the 3DO version.

I would've liked these 32-bit versions of RR better if they used music from the classic roster of groups that were signed to A&M Records, including the likes of Styx, Supertramp, The Police, and .38 Special.

 

Styx's hard-rockin' songs especially may be a good fit for the RR legacy. Think all the songs written primarily by James "J.Y." Young and/or Tommy Shaw, such as all the selections from the Rockers compilation, like:

Midnight Ride

Shooz

Crystal Ball

Miss America

Man in the Wilderness

Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)

Renegade

Borrowed Time (co-written and sung by Dennis DeYoung)

Eddie

Too Much Time on My Hands

Snowblind

Heavy Metal Poisoning

Love is the Ritual

Little Suzie

 

And then I have a sampling of other classic A&M artists' songs, like:

Do You Feel Like We Do? (live) (by Peter Frampton)

The Logical Song (by Supertramp)

Goodbye Stranger (by Supertramp)

Roxanne (by The Police)

Message in a Bottle (by The Police)

Driven to Tears (by The Police)

Demolition Man (by The Police)

Synchronicity II (by The Police)

Hold on Loosely (by .38 Special)

Caught Up in You (by .38 Special)

Back Where You Belong (by .38 Special)

More Than Words (by Extreme)

Hey Jealousy (by Gin Blossoms)

Run-Around (by Blues Traveler)

Hook (by Blues Traveler)

Lie to Me (by Jonny Lang)

 

Would you have preferred any one or more of songs be made available in the Road Rash 32-bit soundtracks?

I still have the PC version and IIRC there is in game music. Its been a while but I should pop it in again and give it a go to be sure. I really love that version of Road Rash.

In the 3DO version the music does not play during gameplay like the Sega CD version does, just between levels/cutscenes etc. The 3DO version has much better graphics though.

 

btw I mean *no* music, not generic music like some of the other versions. The cutscene music has Soundgarden, Paw, etc.

The PSX and 3DO versions both had CD-DA, but the Saturn and PC versions used synth/MIDI for some reason, but otherwise they're pretty similar overall iirc. (a bunch of minor differences but I forget the details)
