why do the PSX and Saturn ports lag at all? I know their at a higher resolution but still its use so few polys even for that generation.

Only large rooms lag, not high numbers of enemies it projectiles. That's not really a full answer, but it does seem to have to do with the poly count of the room and nothing else.
>>
It was most likely a hack job... some fellas must have been sweating a lot during design.
Wall height seems crucial to the slowdown although one can't exactly pin point what's the cause without having the code plus experience on both machines. Most likely it's also connected to improperly drawing Doom's world as in generating wall polygones from the line segs to accomodate the consoles way of "doing things". Carmack should have been asked to look over their shoulder.

graphics are not the only thing to impact performance in games. You could easily create a game that looks like straight out of something C64 was capable of, and still genuflect modern turbo PCs with ease.

In Doom's case, the games were drawn in software mode, and had to do lots of calculations.

Hiro has made it clear that we need to talk about and discuss what should be and should not be allowed on our boards. And that the mods must be regulated on a tight leash to follow our guidelines.

So let's talk about how to fix and improve /vr/. Also Hiro is watching mods, don't try to fuck us

Stop the cunt of a mod deleting Arino threads. Pokemon pt 1 was soft subbed and we can't talk about it.

I'm thinking along the lines of RPGs, but surprise me.
What do you feel are the most engrossing games, the ones that eat your brain, that keep you in another world, that have meat, that give you a good amount of time and especially that make you feel things during the process of playing.

I've heard good things about Legend of Mana. I also got hold of Suikoden and SaGa Frontier-- are any of these right for what I am looking for?
I appreciate your input.

what are the best pre-3D racing games on home machines? I'm looking for stuff that isn't hindered by the weaker non-arcade hardware.

My personal favorites in this regard are:

F-1 Race (GB)
Super RC Pro-Am (GB)
The Great American Cross-Country Road Race (C64)

What are some other good ones?

Which is the best way to play FF5? GBA version with sound patch?

Firstly just to be pedantic GBA is not retro. Secondly the GBA sound patch introduces static that is in my opinion very noticeable. Just play the SNES version with the English patch unless the fact they named him Butz in the fan translation is just to much for you.

SHUT THE FUCK UP. Ports are on topic, faggot. Are you really this fucking new here?

>He helped create Mega Man and likewise helped reinvent him on at least two occasions, dragging the Blue Bomber into 3D for Mega Man Legends, and then transforming him into an RPG hero in Battle Network. And when he felt he’d accomplished all he could with a company he spent two decades serving, Inafune set out on his own to create projects that he hoped would challenge the status quo of his homeland’s development process

>Outside of Nintendo first party staples like Mario, Samus, and Link, very few video games characters invented during the 8-bit era remain as widely recognizable. But Inafune’s Mega Man design exists at kind of a perfect nexus of simplicity and complex articulation that allows the Blue Bomber to be aesthetically adapted between a variety of game genres as well as manga, toys, and cartoons. He’s one of a tiny and elite fraternity of third-party characters to join the Smash Bros. roster, and the only third party NES-era character to ever do so.

http://ca.ign.com/articles/2016/09/13/the-30-year-legacy-of-keiji-inafune

Why is the gaming media still perpetuating the Inafune created Mega Man? There's this re-writing of Mega Man's history that removes everyone else, and makes Inafune the sole driving force of the series. No one in the gaming media does any actual journalism, and tries to investigate the real story. It's just repeating the "Inafune did everything" story again and again.

I was reading "The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers: Volume 1", and one interview subject discusses how Kitamura and Fujiwara clashed over a sequel. Kitamura went over his head, and went to Capcom Vice-president to get go ahead to make a sequel. The same guy said that Kitamura didn't get along with his colleagues at Capcom. He was assigned to console games because no one wanted to work with him. That stuff is interesting. Why don't we hear more about that

I'd assume Capcom wanted to make him the face of Megaman, like their own Shiggy. Kitamura left, so they wanted to erase him from public's memory. It'd be very inconvenient to them if they couldn't play the "from the creator of Megaman!!!" card.

And the media just loves reaffirming people's beliefs and stereotypes. That's why all top 10 NES games lists mention only best sellers and nothing else, it's all lowest common denominator stuff. Media needs views/shares, not actual journalism.
>>
Inafune has some kind of an overblown ego. While your typical Japanese person is humble, he on the other hand always tried to put himself out there. Look at the Mighty No 9 kickstarter for instance. There was this poll where you could vote which art design would end up being used for Call. Inafune had his own submitted, but it was one of the least popular picks and it didn't win. He ended up using that design in the game anyway as the final boss.

So if American/Japanese-made games run slower than intended on PAL, does the same apply to the reverse meaning European-made run faster than intended on NTSC?

Nope, it was inspired by "Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This?" and the girls have a vague Dragon Quest reference.

It was a pretty fun game and the studio's last effort, though not /vr/

i'd be mad too if my game looked that bad

So I started playing this game and for whatever reason it just sucked me the fuck in. How has this game managed to draw me in despite it being almost three decades old?

I never really played a Zelda game before so I have no idea what to expect.

Maybe you like it because it respects you as a player. It lets you go wherever you want and get lost. You create your own experience while playing the game.
>>
I had never played this game until earlier this year, and although I had played several other Zelda games, there is a unique feeling to this one. Something about the minimalism and the atmosphere maybe. I think about how Miyamoto describes being inspired by his memories of exploring the outdoors as a kid and I can really see what he means. When I was a kid playing in the woods, fantasizing about adventure, i was dreaming of something that felt like this.

>>3495053
Probably because when you started the game, it literally fucking started. You were in instant control of your character.

and it didn't tell you where to go with 4 paths at the beginning and yadda yadda yadda

Would there be a way to port a game such as shovel knight to the nes or snes?

Maybe it could be down for SNES, but for NES it would have to be dumbed down because it has too many colors and too many fancy effects like background parallax.

>>3494787

it's probably be technically possible on the SNES, but it'd be an enormous amount of work

Not to mention how much space it would take up, it's a massive game.

Best version/port?
