Finally SEGA's getting around to monetizing their 32-bit era games.

From the looks of things it's probably an upscaled port of the PS2 version from a few years back. Guaranteed day one buy for me :).

It says my comment is awaiting moderation. I'll post this here instead.

This looks like it’s a port of the PS2 version.

If it is, it should have a stick sensitivity option. That version of the game didn’t feel right.

If Christmas Nights is coming (DLC or not), it shouldn’t be gimped like it was on the PS2 version (no Sonic, for example). It didn’t have a “Saturn version” as well.

The music loop played right after the level select sounds awkward. It sounds like a fifth of a second was chopped off or something. (Yes, this is nitpicking)

 PS2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaqZJX4HfN8&t=2m20s

And last, but not least, there was no 2 player mode on the PS2 version, put that stuff back in.

I hope whoever is working on this at Sega is aware of the problems. I’m looking at you nightsintodreams.com.

Unnecessarily excited for this. It does look exactly like the PS2 version, though. I only played that on emulator, so I won't judge the quality of the port. This bodes well for future Saturn ports, let's see Burning Rangers get its damn due now.

PS2 port was pretty good, though it felt a little odd playing it on a Dualshock.

This is going to be so, so awesome.

Does anyone else think Achievements are really going to positively impact this game? In other remakes, Achievements often detract from the experience, because they distract you from various plot/design/minutiae that make the game really great. For NiGHTS, though, gameplay is really all you have, other than the A-Life, so I'm really excited to see if they come up with some creative achievements. I'd love an achievement for creating every type of Pian, for example.  Or avoiding the Egg Clock for x number of minutes.  I just hope there's not another stupid "submit a leaderboard score" achievement on this one...

I'm glad that they added a Saturn mode like Dynamite Deka for PS2. Now I don't have to ask my uncle for the game or the Saturn after it stopped working since 2001.

@SaturnineNights:

I'm pretty sure they'll be something along the lines of
- beat each level
- get a certain rating in each level
- beat the game

Nothing too crazy.

Any news on whether they will release a Vita version like JSR? I am hoping that's the case personally.

If not, I will be happy to add it to my SEGA XBLA collection.

I wish my Playstation would download faster!!

I'd love to see a Saturn Hits collection, I could see Clockwork Knight, Bug! and Panzer Dragoon being part of a "line," as they seem to be doing these re-releases in self-contained volumes. They may opt to put PD/Zwei/Orta in its own volume, though.

How does it feel, play, and look like compared to the original Saturn and PS2 port? I plan on getting my copy this Friday.
Title: Re: NiGHTS into dreams... for XBLA/PSN/PC
Post by: SaturnineNights on October 03, 2012, 09:31:30 am
It's definitely the PS2 port. I've only played that on emulator, but the movement always felt off a little on PS2. Here, everything feels tight and fluid. The graphics are in line with the PS2 port, really smooth and geometric, and the colors really pop. The interview with Iizuka is terrible. No Sonic into dreams. Overall though, any NiGHTS is better than no NiGHTS, and playing this in Saturn mode (and the PS2 mode) has been a wonderful experience. It's almost exactly as I expected it'd be, which is high praise for SEGA in 2012.

Post by: Radrappy on October 04, 2012, 03:41:34 am
a couple notes

-It's the ps2 port just updated for widescreen and hd.  The colors look less vibrant than I remember, the ideyas specifically are lacking in the color department for some reason.  Gameplay feels great though. 

-the saturn version is played in a windowed mode which is bullshit.  They could have at least made the dimensions of the window a bit bigger.  In the ps2 version, both "brand new dream" and "saturn mode" shared the same aspect ratio, which created much less of a headache when switching between them on the fly.  Bad decision making here. 

Glad to have one of my favorite games in HD/widescreen!

Interesting. I remember the original Saturn version having a Widescreen mode. It's a shame that it didn't make it into this release but it's not a deal breaker for me. I'm glad to hear the control and feel of the game are intact. 2 for 2 so far on this SEGA Heritage brand. I look forward to the next wave hopefully soon.

You can change it to 16:9 fullscreen in the Options Menu. It's under "SS Window" or something similar.

After playing a few stages in both the Saturn and Remastered version I must say I am having a total ball playing this game. It's a title that is real simple but at the same time hard to master.  Maybe it's because I've never played it before but getting above a "C Rank" is tricky and I'm going to really have to become more skilled at chaining links together.  Loving the game though and I can definitely see now why it is a classic!  :)

I wish someone would have told me this as a kid but the trick to getting above a "C" is to keep doing laps and collecting chips even after you've destroyed the ideya capture.  Don't turn your points in until the last possible moment to get the highest score.  Hope that helps!

Loving it so far being my first time. (Wa-hay!)

Surprised at how easy these achievements are in the game! I only played for an hour and a half and already have 3/4s of the list!

I'll finish up the game's story (what little there is of it) mode when I get back to it.

Treasure seems to favor Xbox 360. Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury, Radiant Silvergun, and Guardian Heroes are all exempt from PSN or PC. I can't find any sales data, but I assume we'd have heard news about a sequel if the sales were spectacular. Fingers crossed, though Code of Princess on 3DS will scratch that itch if nothing materializes.

Post by: upsidedown fuji on October 06, 2012, 12:07:32 am
I bought the game off the xbox.com US version website last night and have been having a lot of fun with it ever since. The port is not perfect though because the control is a bit off. It feels a little notchy like they removed a some angles from the analog stick. This may put off port purists but it doesn't break the game. After fiddling around with the game for a half an hour or so I found my sweet spot and was able to preform about as well as I do on the Saturn version I've been playing for the past 16 years.


It would be nice to see SEGA patch the control issue but I don't expect it to happen and the leader boards show that even with the fudged precision of control people are still getting pretty decent high scores.


If you're on the fence about the translation of control into the HD version I guess you could always wait for a price cut/sale or buy the PC version and wait for a mod to iron out the control issues. I'm just happy the game is finally here and it's close enough to the original to give me a nice nostalgia buzz.

I never played the original, so I didn't find there was a problem with the controls. Everything was responsive and I managed to beat it pretty quickly.
I'm not that great at it though, so the only levels I've pulled anything higher than a C are the last ones.

Great game though. I still don't get all the hate for the sequel though :-/.

Yes yes! That's the biggest beef I had. I never gave NiGHTS a gender it was just NiGHTS to me. Then NiGHTS talked, not only did it talk it spoke with a sultry woman's voice. It just didn't click with me. That and having the kids play more of a role in the game also was a bit annoying. It needed like 90 percent NiGHTS flying sections and 10 percent whatever story wackiness they wanted to cram in. I really hope that the Wii game didn't kill the franchise for ever. :(

• Getting kicked back to the hub after each mission!
• NiGHTS voice

The effed up controls almost killed it for me, but I'm coping and still enjoying it. I don't remember them being that bad when I emulated the PS2 version. My top link count is around 20, which is a far cry from the 200+ I can get in some levels of JoD. Both the HD and Saturn versions look gorgeous compared to actually playing it on a Saturn.
Title: Re: NiGHTS into dreams... for XBLA/PSN/PC
Post by: upsidedown fuji on October 06, 2012, 11:08:28 pm
Yeah getting the hang of the HD version takes a little bit but I've managed some decent link combos so far. Just relax and don't fight the controls, it will come to you. :)


I've got to keep polishing my skills I want to stay in the top 50 for as long as possible. It would be nice to see myself in the top 10 some day on any level. At least I am scoring decently on my favorite level Soft Museum.

Being new to the original NiGHTs. I played it safe throughout the levels and collected everything I could get (wasting time in the process), but now I think I'm getting the hang of it...the Christmas Level, despite being Spring Garden, clicked with me and I was suddenly getting faster and I finally obtained an A Rank for that level.

The same happened again on the proper Spring Garden too...hopefully I can A Rank everything within a few weeks.

So is this any better than the Saturn version?


I only have Christmas Nights, and I feel I'm not very good at it. But it looks kinda.....shit..on a 32"lcd. I'm sure it looked hell better back in 90's tv, but it has so much going on it's kinda hard to make anything out of it.


Is the HD version superior in this aspect?

Outside of graphic fidelity and draw distance? Nothing much. It plays absolutely the same and unlocks the same trophies/achievements as well as keeps track of your best scores uniformly. While it's a small oversight it's not so bad.


What I wish they did leave in was the Nightopian music box where you could remix level tracks from one of the unlocked presents in Christmas Nights. Other than that pretty much all the interesting stuff was left in... well unless you are attached to the Sonic Easter egg, he's not in. Most of us on here still own a Saturn or have access to emulation so it's not to hard to just play the originals for the missing stuff if we really want it. Honestly, the Sonic unlock was a novelty I only tinkered with once when I was a kid.

Well it's debatable if it's better or not. It comes down to if you're a stubborn purist or not. The reason I say this is that the control is indeed a bit off. It seems like the porting team translated the analog control into something hexagonal which takes away a little control. When you control NiGHTS in the HD version you won't be as accurate as on the Saturn version with the 3D pad. This may not sit well with NiGHTS veterans but it doesn't break the game. It is still very playable.


Compared to vanilla NiGHTS on Saturn it is superior with control issues aside in my opinion.

It is still very playable.

My theory, and I've felt this since the PS2 release, is that the Saturn control pad was embedded in the controller, so controlling NiGHTS felt more fluid and *rounded* because the dent in the pad where your thumb rests is directly the fulcrum where the control is registered. Every other analog controller has been a stick mounted on that "ball" instead of being a literal "ball in socket." I think the fact that your point of contact with the controller is an inch away from the sensor, compounded with the fact that NiGHTS is an extraordinarily touch-sensitive game, is what produces this perceived disparity. (In 3D gaming, I can't think of any games more reliant on precision that frequently, NiGHTS changes direction constantly, most games played with these stick-on-ball controllers involve you pressing forward until you need to stop.)

I guess there'd be no way to determine this unless you could hook a Saturn 3D Control Pad to a PS2, PS3 or Xbox 360, but it's been my little theory for years. Hope I explained it accurately.

I don't know how many of you have tried the game since it's been patched but it's fucking incredible.  It's instantly noticeable how much more controllable Nights is and how much more it is a joy to play.  I'm very proud of Sega to have released this patch!  I'd wager that it would have reviewed even better had it been released with these controls.

NiGHTS into dreams… – 1996 Developer Interview

(https://segaretro.org/images/5/53/GoSegaIconPresentCampaign_196.png)

Yuji Naka – Producer
Naoto Oshima – Director
Takashi Iizuka – Lead Designer
Norihiro Nishiyama – CG Movie Director

Quote
"It turned out to be a completely different game from what we first imagined!
We initially planned to make a game about a flying character, rendered in beautifully drawn 2D sprite art… a sidescroller closer in feel to Sonic.
As the development went on, however, we gradually came to realize that the Saturn could handle whatever we threw at it."

Yuji Naka Shocked to Learn He’s Not in Credits for HD Remaster of NiGHTS,
Criticizes Ports and Remakes

“I don’t think it’s right that they are labeling the game as if they made it, when they could have done it because the original existed in the first place.
It just looks like you’re taking someone else’s game, copying it, and calling it my game. Isn’t that embarrassing?”

SEGA PlayStation 3 PSN Titles To Buy Before Sony Shuts Down the Store

The PSN (XBLA and PC) versions are pretty great since they include the new graphics, the old SEGA Saturn graphics, Online Leaderboards, and even the fabled Christmas NiGHTS!
Sadly the PSN version does exclude the two player mode and Sonic the Hedgehog level.

People tend to like something that they could understand or make sense of.
Even at first NiGHTS  was rather a confusing character for me. At first I thouht NiGHTS  was female.
But then many magazine refered NiGHTS as him or he.
And then SEGA said NiGHTS is genderless.
Twice that I have to correct what to think of him/her.

Way I figured, NiGHTS was suppose to be a franchise where given it's established to be set in dreams require to have your mind as opened as possible for it. No matter how confusing or crazy the characters or stages are, it's "dream logic". If anything I find it impressive and deep when NiD and NJoD use dream interpretation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_interpretation) to detail the childrens personality traits.

For example, the reason why NiGHTS has a british accent in NJoD is because the chidlren are from Bell Bridge which I pressume is based on London, that makes the kids british. But I believe that Wizemen and his creations are incarnates of their NiD-selves, with Wizeman, NiGHTS and Reala being the only Nightmarens who retain their identities.

So if the kids are from Asia, NiGHTS could have an Asian accent?
That's interesting.
I guess that's why Yuji Naka make a new language in Balan Wonderworld.
Balan is kinda like NiGHTS and Lance is kinda like Reala.
The people who came into Balan Wonderworld are from various places,
it would be easier to make 1 new language than to make Balan talk to them in many different languages and accents.

It's how I figure. After all even language isn't always inconsistant in dream logic, usually we dream of people that talk in our language given we take it for granted.

I remember I have a dream meeting Michael Jackson when I was a kid.
Since I know he's from US, I talked to him in English.
We chat in English fluently in my dream eventhough when I was a kid, my english was supposed to be very very limited.

‘Home Alone’ Sound Effects Were Used In NiGHTs into Dreams for Sega Saturn

(https://c.tenor.com/6sBqrpv0s6YAAAAC/home-alone-kevin.gif)

Quote
It’s pretty unclear why composers Tomoko Sasaki and Naofumi Hataya might have chosen to sample Home Alone.
There is a Christmas themed promotional version of NiGHTs called Christmas NiGHTs into Dreams.
So it’s possible the team just really liked Christmas. In other words, it’s just something that will likely remain a secret.

Episode 12 STORY

Ojisan receives a request to defeat a "singing monster" and heads for the forest. He discovers a huge monster and attacks to defeat it, but it turns out to be Mabel, who lives a self-sufficient life in the forest.
The giant ice sculpture she had erected to keep people away and Mabel's singing voice had somehow become feared as a "singing monster.

Mabel was so pleased by the praise of her singing voice that she proposed to sing a song from Ojisan's home.
The delighted Ojisan teaches Mabel his favorite song.

As of January 1 2024, Steam will officially stop supporting the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems.

After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows.
In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows.
In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

You Can Now Enjoy Nights Into Dreams At 60FPS On PC

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0NME7hWIAAsesR?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
The original Nights was released for the Sega Saturn back in 1996 and notably used a combination of frame rates to display its graphics, with the 2D background scrolling at 60FPS, while the foreground action was rendered at 30FPS.
Since then, however, many of the subsequent ports have foregone this, instead simply capping the frame rate at a standard 30FPS for both.
This new mod aims to correct this and specifically targets the 2012 PC version, which is the one currently available on Steam.
Interestingly, it isn't the only mod Colon D has been working on recently, ...

All three projects appear to be running on PC. In fact, only one fan game in the trailer is confirmed to be running on Saturn hardware: Slide Hop.
The trailer kicked off with “Nights Moonlight Dreams” by Marco Medina. It appears to recreate the original Nights gameplay but in a more 2D sidescrolling form using a polygonal Nights character with 2D sprite objects and backgrounds.
A few minutes later, ...

Like a great many other online games, SEGA SPLASH! GOLF came with several layers of security to prevent hackers and cheaters – these naturally had to be overcome by Ninji in order to play the game in 2023. There was also the small matter of getting it to work on a non-Japanese computer, as it was never released worldwide.
However, as insurmountable as these issues might appear to the layperson, Ninji has successfully managed to get the game's practice mode working, recover its in-game shop (it had microtransactions, of course), and get the character customisation mode up and running. You can ...

The art style really compliments that dreamy, lofty feel for a dream-themed character such as NiGHTS.
Sort of reminds me of Yoshitaka Amano (https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Yoshitaka_Amano)'s style a bit.
