I have beat all of the PS1 versions except for the long box version. Code Veronica on Dreamcast, 4 on Gamecube, and have 5 on PC. I also think I beat Zero on gamecube but am unsure if their are better versions.

I would just like to know what you all think the best versions are. The only stipulations are they must not have content taken out, and if possible are the best looking versions. I will not be willing to take HD resolution if it means missing content. Furthermore I don't care about content that must be unlocked in one version but is made available in the beginning in some versions. And not concerned about extra art work and such. I'll just get a Resident Evil art book if I really need to see some RE art.

Here are the versions I know of some may be the same game i'm unsure. It's been a long time. So just copy and paste, add you favorite version and why briefly.

I noticed the dreamcast resident evil 2 seems expensive. Why is that?

Ahh, those nostalgic days of...uh...early April.

I see there's about five billion Xbox threads here, but none of them seemed to have info right up front, so here it is:

Always-online is really true, so finally we can talk about the "rumor" we always knew to be true as if it's true. You need to be connected once every 24 hours, or...well, they don't say, but I assume you'll be locked out of using the system at all until you manage to get it connected again. Source: Kotaku

You won't be able to pop your games into other consoles to play them wherever you go.
You will have to validate your game code online in order to play.
Anybody can play a game from a disc you give them. However, either you pay to transfer the game, or they will pay full retail to play the game. Again, you have to go online to do this.
All games will be installed to the hard drive, but the hard drive is 500GB.
Kinect's mandatory, and microphone is always listening for verbal commands, even when the camera is "off" (not sure if this means if the console is off, to turn the console on, but that seems likely).
""Xbox LIVE — which still looks pretty much like the version of Xbox LIVE you’re using today — now remembers what you were last doing, what game you were playing, what song you were listening to and so forth, surfacing that information automatically."
(Confirmations of all the previous assertions from this NeoGAF post, aside from maybe the 500GB thing which is deeper in the thread, if it's there, and the Kinect microphone thing which I just discovered in this Kotaku article. EDIT: The last bit is from a Times Tech article that I keep losing the URL for.)

Some gamers thought that EA dropping online passes had to do with whatever it was the EA rep mumbled out the side of his mouth, but with EA dropping support for the Wii U and apparently not showing up for Sony events, it looks like they've just found a willing partner to build online pass blocks into the console itself, applying to the whole game. In other words, they're happy to let Microsoft infrastructure take care of this.

_______

It's funny, but recently I started to realize that this was probably coming. Computer users have been hearing rumors for over a decade about new DRM-like technologies being used (back in the Pentium 4 days, even), and there have also been rumblings within the last decade about systems restricting used game sales (I seem to recall the rumor being bandied about that the PS3 would do it). Each time it didn't happen gamers breathed easily for the few moments until the next rumor surfaced. Despite the (very reasonable) arguments that no company would ever make such an obviously anti-consumer move, I realized that it was quite likely an attractive proposition for companies that have looked at the infrastructure for complete server-side management of your gaming library (i.e. what Steam has already been doing for years) and that it would be a matter of how much time would pass before it happens.

In some sense Microsoft isn't breaking new ground here. On the other hand, buying games digitally off the Steam storefront has never promised to give you games that you could freely trade and sell, but so long as you have your account available and the software installed at any computer you have access to, you can access your stuff. (And selling games on Steam has been a reality for a long while now.) Steam serves as a sort of "virtual console," giving flexibility about where you play. With cheap PCs capable of playing games that will rival or better the Xbox experience in many arenas, limiting that flexibility is surely a blow to each gamer's freedom to play where and when they choose. Another thing that distinguishes Steam from the Xbox One proposal is that many Steam titles are very, very cheap, and often bundled along with other games. Many of these are older games, but you can expect to pay full retail for Xbox One games for a long period after a game might have received a discount on Steam. Of course, there's nothing that says that Xbox One games couldn't be subject to discounts or specials like Steam. We'll have to see how that works out.

My honest question is, how can anybody support this garbage? XBLA's consignment of games to a dead platform once a new system is released was clear enough, but instead of making any effort to fix this, they've made the XBLA problem apply to the entire platform. The only thing I could see happening for longevity is that, with the move to X86, there might be a chance that backwards compatibility could happen on an Xbox One successor. However, the X86 ISA won't necessarily be with us forever.

Sony fans are rejoicing at the glut of anti-consumer provisions, but at the very least the PS4 will have (I think they do already with the PS3) an XBLA-like system (i.e. tying games to each generation), and it's not yet entirely clear if they could have any ideas in store like Microsoft. Although the "always online" rumors were with us for a long while, some of the extra provisions seem to have been kept pretty closely under wraps for now.

Eidos Montreal confirmed through its official Tumblr today that Thief will be coming to Xbox One. The game, first announced in 2009, was confirmed for PS4, PC and other next-gen consoles in March, which we can now take to mean the next-generation Xbox revealed today.

The Thief reboot reportedly suffered many setbacks during its five-year development period, including significant turnover in staff at Eidos Montreal. The developer included a "glimpse" at the next-gen game in its Tumblr post in the form of a screen with an alarming amount of fire in it.Thief sneaks onto Xbox One originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 21 May 2013 17:55:00 EST.

Their stated goal for the... Today at a press conference leading up to E3, Microsoft unveiled its next-gen games/entertainment console, the Xbox One. Their stated goal for the Xbox One is to have a single device provide "all of your entertainment." One of the big changes is increased support for voice and and gesture input. You can turn the console on by voice, and it will recognize you and automatically login. Swiping to the side with your hand will browse through menu pages, and saying "Watch TV" will bring up the TV app very quickly. The same with music, internet, and movies. The new console also supports multitasking — for example, while watching a movie, you can bring up your web browser in a side panel and surf the web at the same time. There is also a built-in TV listings app that responds to channel names — saying "Watch CBS" will switch to CBS without giving it an actual channel number. By this point, you're probably asking: does it play games? Yes. Hardware specs: 8-core CPU/GPU, 8GB RAM, a Blu-ray drive, a 500GB HDD, USB 3.0, and Wi-fi Direct. (They didn't provide the CPU frequency, instead saying it had 5 billion transistors.) The Kinect sensor got an upgrade: 2Gbps of data capture has finer skeletal visibility, can detect minor orientation changes in hands and fingers, and can even calculate your balance and weight distribution. The new controller looks slightly bigger, and is designed to play well with Kinect. They've also updated Smartglass, the remote control software that runs on mobile devices, but they didn't explain much about it. The new Xbox Live will have 300,000 servers powering it, up from 15,000 this year — though, of course, no details were provided about server specs. The console will have native game capture and editing tools — essentially, a game DVR. Saved games will be stored in the cloud, and they have new matchmaking capabilities that operate in the background. Update: 05/21 17:50 GMT by S : Halo is getting its own live-action TV show, for some reason. They'll be collaborating with Steven Spielberg. Microsoft is also partnering with the NFL for live broadcasts and interactive experiences, such as split-screen Skype chats and fantasy league updates. Xbox One will be out "later this year." No price information.

I never had any in their heyday, but am finding alot of the games to be pretty good just with a different look and feel to them. I think games like Turrican can compete well enough with Contra for instance, and even the more simple ones like Monty on the Run have their own charm. What attracts me is not just the brilliant music and graphics for their time but also getting to know some good classic 2D games that were not japanese. This is where the west had its own place in classic gaming, something people raised as console gamers tend to forget.

I've been to the previous shows, and it's the wildest and craziest video game convention by far: 72 hours straight of gaming, insanity, tournaments, cosplay, nutty stage performances, and retro and modern goodness.

The convention has a great old-school presence (crossed with a nerd/fraternity type of atmosphere), and fans of such Internet "celebrities" as The Angry Video Game Nerd and Keith Apicary will love it.

If you don't want to get caught up in the madness, you can simply peruse the dealer's room (80 vendors), which will be bigger and better than ever.
