I feel they would slap that PS3/Xbox 360 JoJo HD Ver. as a direct port which was...uh, not that great. The filter made it look hideous. The Dreamcast version was definitely the best since it had both versions of the 2 arcade variants.

I agree that the DC release was the best overall, though I'll add that at least the HD version of HFTF also provided an option to remove the filter. I'd say the weakest aspect of the HD release is the forced wallpaper on the sides of the screen, even if I personally don't mind it.

On the other hand, one of the biggest benefits to the HD release was the inclusion of full move lists for the characters. The DC release only showed the player special moves, and didn't show supers.

Shame HD didn't include Jojo's Venture. Not to mention it was delisted only two years after its release.

What about the PS3 DarkStalkers?

Darkstalkers Resurrection is pretty good. Had useful tutorials/trials, especially for its time. Arcade perfect ports of Hunter and Savior. Rollback netcode in 2013 as well. Like HFTF HD, one of the only cons is the forced wallpaper.

If you wanted the definitive release of the series however, that is still Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection on PS2. Includes all games, an arrange mode, as well as the only release with the character Dee.

I remember on Dustloop forums at that time, jedpossum, the guy responsible for adding lua hit boxes in finalburn version, messaged the staff at Iron Galaxy about an accuracy issue with DS:R and they responded that their aim was consumers and not aiming for an arcade accurate release.

PS2 version is fine but it has input lag that also existed on original console

Now that I think about it, I believe I recall seeing your handle on the SRK forums as well, petran - I was always a lurker, never a commenter back then. I didn't frequent dustloop much.

Still, I guess arcade accurate wasn't the right way of saying it, given I had forgotten some of the inaccuracies of the port. I recall netcode being quite good though, using GGPO. Jojo HD didn't use rollback, iirc.

Regardless, nothing will beat fightcade or buying the real arcade board, at the end of the day in terms of accuracy. Of the ports, I personally enjoy the Saturn and PS2 versions of VSav the most.

Need me a Steam release of Jojo Heritage with online matchmaking.

Why? Just play on fightcade

CodeMystics making an official rollback port for people (with crossplay) would be good.

Of course people can use FightCade/Kaillera/etc... or even MUGEN/IKEMEN but those aren't official ports.

I have the iso (in japanese) but I got those weird squares on the game (which looks a bit ugly for a 2D game).
