Totally know what you mean when having to deal with these employees at Gamestop Corp.
It's almost like you have to bring yourself down a level just to hold a decent conversation with these guys. You don't want to make it seem like you're a know-it-all too. Oh... Gamestop. Anyway, finally got my hands on my pre-ordered copy along with the 8-bit figure bonus(it's decent). Tried out the opening for a few minutes before i had to go to the supermarket for some supplies. I actually like the 2.5D graphics better in this compared to Ultimate G&nG. The redone soundtrack sounds pretty good so far too. I'll put in a good hour or two before i go to bed tonight. Whole lot of PSP gaming ahead. Yay!!

Absolutely. Yeah, you can really pick it apart with minor technical issues, but the fact that I'm playing one of the finest 2D masterpieces of all time (SOTN) with Japanese voices and an all-new English translation is fucking amazing (on a portable, no less!). Even these little issues never actually detract from the playability, they're nowhere near as noticeable as the GBA SNES FF ports. The "new" game is really sweet as well, playing it on the actual unit does it justice that the vids never did.
I haven't unlocked OG Rondo yet, it's a shame that old Richter cinema is gone, but this still is one hell of a deal.
Big props to Konami, since as of late they really have done a lot as far as CV and especially in terms of respecting their fans' wishes for having the original JP voice work.
Man, I would be all over another PSP CV Chronicles edition with a remade CVIII, maybe sporting the X68000 remake and Bloodlines next time. Hells yeah!
Between this and the Salamander collection I just picked up, I'm getting to play some really excellent forgotten shit. Xexex=too good.

The original intro cinema is there in its' entirety. I'm not sure why people think it's not.
It sucks they did not remake the second intro (first = dracula resurection, second = richard's intro) but it is in the unlockable rondo of blood.
Even tho there might be a few emulation glitches in the two classic games, the main game it self is well worth the $30 alone. So just the fact the two classics are also here is nothing but pure gravy.
Everybody MUST buy this game for the psp. Anybody who pirates it (I'll accept early downloads while waiting to pick up in stores) deserves a swift kick in the balls. This game needs to sell!!!
You playing with classic games scaled to full screen?
If it's in original res there is not filtering. The filtering is only applied when a texture is scaled (in this case when the final display output from the game is scaled to the full vertical res).
Its the same even if you play via a PCE homebrew emu on the psp.

Dude, there's ANOTHER cinema in the original that shows Richter when he rides into town on the horsecart busting skulls. Not talking about the whole priest and freaks killing the girl to resurrect Dracula. Just try not being a stubborn douche for like 5 milliseconds and listen to others here.Jedah Doma said:

Yes, I know the one you speak of, and it's in the original game Rondo of Blood on the disc. I watched it with my own eyes. Any reason in particular you're riding my nuts extra hard today? Had a little run on with the law? Maybe some lady troubles? Couldn't find your favorite watch this morning? Missed out on that episode of Gilmore Girls yesterday?
Let me know if you need a shoulder to cry on.

It's funny how people will hang from your nuts, but when you call them on it, they pretend they don't care and then to try and act nonchalant.
Great job disproving the complete intro was not in the game.

I've unlocked both games and it wasn't so hard. Original Rondo has all the intro cinemas intact. Priest dudes and Bustin Skulls.
For those of you having difficulty and like pretty pictures instead of words to help you find the goodies, check this site out.

Im around 32% complete but with the original games unlocked, I may stay at 32% for a little while.

From what you had posted, citing just the opening ending, it sounded like you were missing the boat. I haven't even unlocked it, being buried in schoolwork I'd only just had time to get to SOTN. So while I hadn't checked, given the disparity between what you had posted and what others had, it sounded like you weren't talking about the same thing.
The funnier phenomenon here is the way you flip out and instantly resort to insults the moment someone disagrees with you on just about anything. You do that shit in just about every thread you post in.

Yet truthfuly they were not that hard to unlock in the first place. So you're just being lazy.
Nice. Well Gamestop was still just filling pre orders, so who knows when I'll score a copy. Still balls deep in FFT too.

I guess we just had a miscommunication. And as I recall, you're the one who chimed in by quoting me and the proceeding to call me a douche.
Loopz said:
So let's not split hairs. You called me names and I call you names as well, no biggie. Besides that, it's just the same internet BS this board was founded on so don't take it seriously as I honestly have nothing against you. Add to that fact we're both playing Rondo of Blood on a PSP so life is good.
