Final Fantasy tactics was made by the same team

The 64 version is much easier, you can train up all your troops out of battle.

>>3307292
This.
FFT is sadly the best game they've done. All the others are either too easy or very simplistic when you actually delve into the mechanics.

Except the PSP port of LuCT which is just a bloated mess of bad decisions. FFT is far from perfect, but a solid game at least.

Turn down the gamma in 3dfx control panel.

Yeah, its on high by default.

Just play Quakespasm. Why the hell would you use original hardware when the fucking source code works on modern computers.

Do you do this every thread?

It's better in the sense that it has more gameplay variety, you can for example hide inside lockers and fuck around with guards in more creative ways, it's like MGS2 in that regard.

But some people don't like it because "not like muh original".

If you've already played the original, go ahead and try TS, it's a good remake.

>>3305137
>"not like muh original"
people don´t criticize only for the fact of being a remake, but for the ankward new cutscenes and for shoving MGS2 gameplay into the original level design. It´s like having Venom Snake sprinting like a beast and having full third person shooter on Big Shell. Does it make that a better experience than the original? I don´t think so.
Also, if you think about MGS basically being a 3D revision over MG2 Solid Snake, TS makes even less sense. They are basically putting a PS2 gameplay in a MSX 2d-latter 3d world.
Anyways, of course the game is fun to play and worth the pain, but like anon said, play it like a revision of the original, not like a substitute

>>3305160

Yeah all of what you wrote is what I meant with "not muh original".

I agree with you though, it's not a substitute, but TS is still worth playing. I'm pretty sure if it was released on PS2 it would have been received way better, I don't know why Kojima decided to remake MGS1 on Gamecube when the core fanbase of MGS is on Sony, especially during PS2 era.

I'm not sure you could've taken a worse picture if you tried.

Power Rangers Fighting Edition and Gundam Wing Endless Duel

Did games really have 'engines' back then?

>>3305034
yes. Stuff like map metadata, collision handling, loading strategies can be reused

Did you know SMB3 USA was actually a reskin of a Taiwanese game called Donkey Kong Picnic

did you knwo mario is a plumber who jumps

Video games are games.

I love the sprite animation in this one. It feels sorta Prince of Persia-ish.

>>3305662
Totally anime prince of Persia with good music too.

Must be a pain in the ass to produce such fluid animations with sprites.

All games are true blue when you play them with modified Pal 60, ntsc is shithouse mate. It's an absolute ripper on a crt, you'd have to be a bloody poofta to use a HDtv.

Armed Police Batrider.

The more credits you put into the machine, the higher the rank system is raised and makes the game impossible.

>>3304086

This includes other Raizing games like Battle Bakraid & Battle Garegga.

The rank stays up even if you game over and start over; you have to let the attract mode loop many times or reset the whole cab to bring it back down to default.

The X68000 version is kinda overrated. Sure, they made the in-game world larger, but the new areas are just copy and pasted from the already existing material from the FC version. It's not really that interesting.

Yes, Thunderforce V.

"This is Sega's pride and joy. The Saturn sound system consists of a relatively powerful sound CPU, but the custom Yamaha sound processor gives the Saturn audio capabilites outstripping both the Nintendo 64 and Playstation."

"Saturn's sound hardware is phenomenal. It's way, way, better than the PlayStation's sound - you can basically plug in a synthesizer and play it through MIDI."
--Saturn Developer, Next Generation, December 1995

>>3301429
Also, on a personal note I think the saturn has excellent sound quality, in fact you can easily mod in an spdif jack into the system for a direct digtal signal. Whoever said the Saturn had bad sound probably hasn't played one, I've never heard that argument and I know from personal experience that it just isn't true.

>>3301414
Well you can hear the difference yourself

Compare the sound effects in Rayman on PS1 and Saturn (the sound effects, not the music).

You'll hear that on Saturn the sound effects are a higher pitch and faster. This was done to make them a smaller size because the Saturn's sound chip can't decompress them on its own like the PS1's sound chip can.

>>3301429
What the Saturn's sound chip does have going for it is more sound channels (32 vs 24 on PS1), less CPU dependence, and greater adherence to professional workstation interfaces for easier sound production. But IMO the lack of hardware ADPCM is a bit of a fatal flaw. The Saturn's CPU can decode it in software though.

Yes, because they're a multimedia experience that the audience interacts with and is acted upon by a creator who made it with the intention of making the audience have a certain experience.

To my knowledge, no one in or out of the field has ever been able to cite a game worthy of comparison with the great dramatists, poets, filmmakers, novelists and composers. That a game can aspire to artistic importance as a visual experience, I accept. But for most gamers, video games represent a loss of those precious hours we have available to make ourselves more cultured, civilized and empathetic.
