What are games similar to similar to SNES Starfox? Like flat-polygonal

There's not a whole lot in this genre, sadly.

Also "rail-shooter" could also refer to light gun games like Virtua Cop, which I consider vastly different.

I think the best ones are Sin and Punishment and Panzer Dragoon II Zwei, other than SF64.

However, SF64 is the only one to feature all-range mode, which isn't really on-rails. But then, S&P and PD also feature some kind of cabal-style parts.

Also, Pokemon Snap

Flat-polygonal? That's some really specific request. Starblade Arcade version, Star Wars Arcade 32X version, X for the Game Boy, Starglider 2 for Amiga.

>>3364212
>That's some really specific request.
Not only them, they are just the games I want to hear the first.

>>3364186
Vortex has somewhat similar graphics and gameplay. Whether you will like to play it could be another matter however.

It's only the way 3D graphics were done for about a decade or so

Star X for GBA

>>3364437
Good game, but the controls take some getting used to.
It's a straight up starfox clone.

The first boss is kinda bs though

Solar Eclipse

Very intense, but not that good in the music department.

Raystorm - probably is gourand shaded though

>>3364458

Is it related to Total Eclipse? I had that on the 3DO. I don't remember it being too good gameplay-wise, but for 1995, the graphics impressed me.

>>3364459
Phong here, gouraud is a poopy head

Technically that's wireframe, not flat shaded polygon

>>3364553
Technically you can't see through objects in that game

There are only a couple of rail shooters anyway and you want to those with flat polygons?

>>3367012
Not necessarily flat.
Is that the only rail-shooter PSX game?

If you're into cheesy schlock and good gameplay you'll have a blast.

Looks like a shameless Panzer Dragoon clone, and a good one.

>>3367015
You really think a console this succesful has only one rail shooter to offer? Ignoring Arcade and PC, PSX has the most rail shooters on one platform, followed by the NES/FM/FDS.

That's what makes it special.

>>3367358
How is it special if there is nothing special about it?

>>3369836
there are a couple billion games out there. Of all the games available, and all the games you played, how many of them can be the first game you ever played? I'd say one in a couple billion is quite special

We need more rail-shooters in life.

>>3369858
By that retard logic, every game you play is special. The second game you've ever played is one in a million! The third game you've ever played is one in a million! Also, how many fucking video games do you think there are?

Nigga they're referring to the fact that it's special to OP. Another person can have personal sentiment in something you don't find special, you know.

Alligator Hunt, though more of a gallery shooter.

I guess light gun games are also slightly different but are also "on-rails"

>>3364437
Wish they had used the sprite scaling abilities of the SFX/GBA to make a shooter and not the poor polygons.

Got the mention the only other rail shooter on the SNES/SFC: YamYam.
https://youtu.be/DUx-51VMmWo?t=49s

It's a very Japanese take on the genre, meaning there is a story, villagers to talk to and RPG elements! So you need to understand Japanese or a guide to get through this on. Yeah!

>>3364460
I believe it's made by the same people, Crystal Dynamics. One thing I noticed in Solar Eclipse is that Ivanova from Babylon 5 is in it.

>>3372614
Compadre... it's not a light gun shooter, it's a cabal shooter. And Omega Boost isn't even on rails.

>>3364186
Bruh. Faceoff. I used to love that game when I was a kid

>>3364186
>I know Starfox is nothing special
shut your fucking face

>>3371050
shit, never heard of this before but it looks decent, only the ps1 catalog could have games that are this obscure for this long

Not on rails, but Starglider 2 on the Amiga was a pretty cool 3D space game.

X-scape for the dsi was decent - sequel to X for the Game Boy, not on rails but more like a pared back Star Fox 2. Had it's own giant head boss and everything

Did anyone say hyperzone yet?

IIRC, they had none.

Cybermorph for Atari Jaguar

When I first played StarFox 64 it reminded me of Raiden, but in 3D. I guess you could call the StarFox games 3D shmups.

>>3384581
I meant Panzer Dragoon Orta in the first greentext. But still, we'll probably never see another game in that series in any time soon.

It hurts to live sometimes.

>>3384581
Buy an XBox, bud.
PDOrta was THE reason to buy it.
