PSX version of Vampire Saviour has a few nice extras, but they really don't justify it; the simple fact is that it is slightly slower and just looks a whole lot more washed out than the Saturn version.
PSX has one more character than the Saturn, and that's Marionette, which is a game mode more than anything, and one more background, Donovan's, which is included in Versus mode.
Vampire Chronicles on the Dreamcast - I have this, and it's rather nice. I wouldn't reccomend shelling out for it, however. What you do get as extras are:
- a really rather grainy FMV intro :-/
- a chance to play the characters in their Hunter/Hunter2/Saviour modes. This includes Lilith, Q-Bee, B.B.Hood and Jedah, they've been modded...
- a chance to play over the internet, which is the real reason the game was released and is important to remember.. Shame you can't use it if you don't live in Japan, eh :(
I hasten to add, there really isn't anything special to add to it over your Saturn version. For example, there are NO unique endings. I can't remember if there's an English language switch (I wish Capcom did that for ALL their games!). And also, no matter what you hear, it DOESN'T include all the backgrounds. Just the ones from Saviour.

to sum up, Savior is the game with Jedah, Q Bee, Lilith and Buletta, plus the 10 original character and Leilei (and Shadow hidden). Then Savior 2 has Donovan, Phobos and Pyron (plus Marrionette as hidden and Oboro Bishamon is playable), but Gallon, Dark Gallon, Aulbath and Sasquatch disappear. Then, the air chain combo can only be used during dark forces, you get 20 seconds more after each DOWN, a few minor changes are done to each characters and dashes (for example, in Morrigan and Jedah's). The 6th opponent is always Pyron and the 7th is Jedah, there is no more speech when you meet your rival, and there are only 2 endings (finish with Jedah or finish with someone else than Jedah).
The biggest change is the dark force :
In Savior, it used 1 stock and was different for everyone.
In Savior 2, that power becomes a new EX moove for everyone (with sometimes stranges motion to do them), and the Dark Force itself becomes something completely different :
It uses 2 stocks
you can do air chain combo
you don't loose life if you guard super or EX mooves (you do loose life if you auto guard)
you only make red damage, no more white
your white damaga heal faster
each character has a powered up super moove (graphically and in damage)
And, most of all, the character doesn't take a pose when he enter or escapes from the dark force.

Sort of, but there's no Hunter2 Mode.
Hunter 2 is just Savior 2 with only characters from Hunter (plus Oboro Bishamon). the backgrounds are Savior, but the BGM are Hunter. there are 2 endings, "Pyron ending" and "anyone else ending".
Then, there are minor changes, like Cecil appearing only in Savior 2 and not in Hunter 2, Pyron sucks a little less in Hunter 2 (his Soul smasher is a little bit quicker, I haven't found anything else), etc.
On Saturn, it's Savior 1 + Pyron, Phobos and Donovan, and you can use Oboro Bishamon..
Then, on Playstation 1, you can play Savior 1, with the 4 characters, with many options (a turbo option pretty fast), a custom mode (?) and you can choose if you want to play in a Savior mode or a Savior 2 mode (or a hunter 2 mode), but the animation sucks.
These 2 versions are the only ones where Pyron and gang appear in Savior 1, so they are the only ones where they have endings.
Then, the DC version is great if you can play online. You can play as new versions of some characters (like the Vampire version of Buletta, where all her moove are quater forward instead of charge, or Jedah's Dio Sega (??? I never understood Jedah's moove names) changes a lot in Vampire mode, etc).
But it only has Savior backgrounds (so you fight Pyron as a boss in the Foetus of god...) and no ending....TT___TT
I think that's it...?

Now this may be a little of topic but......what exactly is Jedah????? is not a vampire, Dimitry already got the role and he didn't need blood he us it to fight.
And is it a contract he made with you in his super moves? Weird guy.........
If I recall, Jedah is a demon from the demon world ( like Morrigan ), except he's really bad news. He wants to create a new god to replace the original ( hence the fetus of god stage ) and start everything over.. or something like that.
Jedah is from one of the three houses/dynasties from the demon world(makai). Vostial, Berial(morrigan's father) and Doma(Jedah). Doma is the area most like hell.
A long time ago he tried to absorb all souls into him self but blew up. He somehow ressurects in vsavior. Makai is now in ruin, after the death of Berial because Morrigan wouldn't assend to the throne and she wouldn't be have the power to rule either being that a part of her power is sealed within Lilith. (From what I understand Berial was the most powerful and ruled makai. He died in a battle to take over his thrown, and used the last of his power to banish demitri and his castle to earth.)
Seeing makai in ruin he realizes only he can save it by destroying it and going back to the birth of life and create a new god and world in his image.(similar to creation myths around the world). He sees himself as a savior, to justify his ruthless actions. He realized that he couldn't hold all the souls it took, so he created a container of sorts,, which I think is the damned dimension. Thats why imo the darkstalkers gained darkforce abilities. Jedah sends the most poewrful sould the darkstalkers to the damned dimension and tries to take there souls. To help gather souls he temporarly gives lilith a body and promises a real one, and promises to restore Q-bee's tribe. These are of course lies.
He's extremely powerful, he can enter your mind, move between dimensions, take you to hell,etc. His moves are named in i think portugesse or italian. Dio-cega means god saw. The blood contract move is similar to a contract with the devil, he takes your soul. When you use his crouching mk you can see souls reaching to escape hell.
