Technically speaking, the Sega CD version is superior IMO, since most of the tracks sound richer, with clear sounding instruments (without noise) and it's using both Sega CD and Genesis sounchips.
However, the PCE CD version has more tracks in comparison and the compositions are much closer to the PC-88 versions, with a darker atmosphere.

Listen:

I prefer the sega CD version in almost all cases.

If kill for an HD snatcher, with hand drawn graphics. It would be very expensive for the art alone but it would kick so much ass.

Yeah, there's those funky ones from the Sega CD version, but there's also these great sounding ones:











Don't get me wrong there are a handful of areas where the PC-Engine does sound a bit nicer, but it's honestly quite rare.

Can anybody else here confirm that this JVC Laser is compatible with the Saturn Model 2 or the same as this JVC Laser replacement laser for Saturn?

"So why exactly should you care about this fan translation patch - especially when there is already a PlayStation 1 version available? The Sega Saturn port of Policenauts features several additional scenes, a slightly modified story and light gun support - effectively making the Sega Saturn edition of the game the definitive one."

OH FUCK YES!! FINALLY!!!! I've been wanting this so badly!

why? it's virtually the same as sega cd one, and that one looks and sounds better too. I rather have them translate grandia for saturn next.

LOL @ a version of the game with a much smaller color palette "looking" better

Honestly, in comparison shots I really don't see much of a difference as far as color is concerned.

Even if you can't see the hundreds of less colors on screen in any given shot, that still invalidates his claim of the Sega CD version looking better.

Are there even hundreds of colors in any shots on the PC-Engine version? Honestly to me it just looks like different and brighter colors rather than more colors.

I wouldn't say that invalidates saying the Sega CD version looks better, they could be talking about the art changes and different colors. There are some shots I think look nicer on the Sega CD because they use a darker palette making scenes seem more dramatic.

This is orgasmic news at its finest! Finally at long last. I have it for my Saturn and now I have the opportunity to enjoy it in English. Excellent!

I, too, own the Saturn version and can't wait for this. Is there an ETA?

Cool to see the Saturn get the translation... Now when is the 3DO version going to get that awesome treatment?

If you don't mind me asking, how will this patch be implemented? I've never used a patch for a game so this concept is quite foreign to me.
