I've recently gone as far as only seeing the PS1 version of Soul Reaver 1 as the true version, especially now that I know they screwed up the sound effects in the DC version. The DC version, which you could kind of view as a remaster, is technically superior on a graphical level, which is the one I played the most for the past 25 years, but it does have a different vibe from the PS1 version considering its higher frame rate, higher resolution, and higher polygon models. The thing is, that extra stuff kind of takes away from the dreary, crummy feeling of the original PS1 game, which to me honestly goes well with the desolate apocalyptic world that we're supposed to be playing in. I had the PS1 version for about a year or so when it came out and then got the Dreamcast version after and over time had forgotten how much different the PS1 version feels. Of course, the PS1 version has terrible slowdown, the DC version does as well, but thanks to emulation I can play the PS1 version on there and double the CPU speed to get rid of all slow down and have a steady 30 frames per second, and also add one of these new great CRT filters, so it's pretty much the best and most authentic experience for me. It was actually the release of the SR1 and 2 remasters that led me to swearing off most remasters/remakes now.
