I know vr hates this word, but Spider-Man 2000 has not aged well

A shame, because neversoft's tony hawk series is still amazing today

I was playing it the other day and while it wasnt as fun as I remember, its still a great single player game. The second one for the PS1 was really good as well.

They made some of my favorite games ever, but their quality has been in steady decline for years now. I'd rather see them just die outright than limp along shoveling out terrible parodies of what their games used to be.

They were smart to leave Konami when they did and probably smart to shut up shop when they did.

>Rumor
>source is NeoGAF
>All it says to back up the "rumor" is that Treasure hasn't made a new game since Gaist Crusher but they still license their works like Ikaruga and Gunstar heroes

Wow, it's fucking nothing.
All stuff we've know for a while, Treasure is not dead, they're a group of freelance developers that usually work for other companies and work on Treasure every now and then, usually under contract by major publishers.

>>3085489
Not OP but it looks like the real source is Mark McDonald and if he says something publicly I tend to take it seriously.

>>3083974
Would you count it if the game has no save feature and I use save states as saves?

>>3083974
IMO, loading saves in old school FPSs is only acceptable if you just started it up to return to playing.

I seriously don't get the appeal in quicksaving and loading after every death. It just takes away the punishment for dying, and takes away the feeling of accomplishment for surviving. Its just boring.

>>3083974
i only save at the start of levels on the hardest difficulty, but DAMN if extra crispy is testing my limits and im an old school arena shooter player and beat lots of other FPS on the hardest settings.

Shit.

I like it. Never saw the replay value that other people do.

I do wish they kept the horror b movie vibe.

I never really cared for the game. Admittedly, it suffers from not having been the first in the franchise I'd played.

Had no idea. Actually just started a new playthrough on the Saturn with a buddy the other day. We get too drunk and blow all our bullets. He claims I should be stabbing zombies upwards to hit their heads with the knife. Is this correct?

Not bad for a modern history teacher.

Why live? No, really. There was no more reason to live so he died and joined the Anthotis family.

NEAT!

It depends, but mostly sprites just look better if made correctly. Early 3D looks terrible by comparison and only a few games did it right. They would've looked better in 2D.

Sprites without question. But I think the bar is higher with sprites, it's harder to make them look amazing.

Polygons have started to look way better than sprites in my opinion, especially with all the variations that shaders can provide. For instance, see pic.

I still am a sucker for some good pixel art though.

Australia-kun, you really need to leave this place and seek for professional help.

Why does this even need an explanation?

Is it free? Does it offer any advantage over free emulation whatsoever, even a very trivial one? Then probably not.

Idiot here, I'm almost dumb enough for this, but not for $17

It was X-treme.

With the Nights engine, could have probably been okay. I dunno about some of these "leaked" versions I've seen.

Sonic was at his peak popularity at this time right after CD and S3&K. I remember magazine ads at the time and loved the mysterious tone Sonic games had. I loved the mecha/metal sonic designs and Xtreme was going to continue this. I wish the American devs of Xtreme got more help so maybe the shitty modern sonic design would have been avoided.

Asutralia-kun's handle is andreasaspenberg575?

Good day, Australia kun.

I think the music sounds better on Sonic 1 when it's slowed down. Most games I don't even notice slowdown whether it's PAL or not. The only game where I find the slowdown quite bad is the original Phantasy Star on Master System.

Honest question. Who here, born in the 80's or before, cares about picture quality at this age?

>>3093046
Scart's a shit connector.

In Europe and Japan the scart/jp-21 cables never sold very well. Only a handful of consoles actually had SCART RGB included in the box. Usually it would had been RF or composite over scart instead of rgb.

Now it's hip to talk about RGB. But why we talk about a shitty EU standard is beyond me.

S-Video also looks great. At the time the only thing that could had taken advantage of RGB would had maybe been DVD. And that had component pretty much standard by the 2000s. Wasn't big till then too. VHS, Betamax, LD, etc used composite.

So again I'm not sure why kids think the lack of RGB is all that surprising.
