Super Metroid?

>>3957587

Nah, the sequel. People hated its portrayal of Samus, but in retrospect it's clearly miles more faithful than Other M.

Holy god damn, this could pass for a modern 2D platformer

>>3958573
>modern 2D platformer
No it couldn't. That means it would have either 8bit shitty pixel sprites or ugly 3d models.

>>3958573
So like every European platformer?

Also, no. Indie's do not know jackshit about pixel art.

The first Sonic game on Master System. Specifically the Scrap Brain level for me.
A lot of the SMS games had great colour palettes.

The game seems to be all FMV, and I can't understand how they did that.

It's mostly pre-renders and clever usage of sprites.

>>3961326
oh right

sorry

>>3960386
The honey levels from DKC2 also had beautiful colors.

>>3960420
Capcom knew how to use colors pretty well. Shame their current games like MVCI look atrocious or just plain boring.

>>3961393
Emulate it. The graphics aren't composed of background layers and sprites like almost every 2D Playstation game.
It's all just one thing, like a FMV.

>>3962464
pretty sure the engine is some fucked up witchcraft shit and its like that on the playstation version because it's merely emulating the engine. Makes ripping the sprites impossible. The fmv and sprites are kept within one specially encrypted file for the PC version that only the game process can access.

This. For some reason, it works really shitty on linux version of FS-UAE, so i cannot fibish the last world after shifting to Ubuntu.
Also, Ninja Baseball Bat Man is a very good looking game (inb4 yes, i learned about its existence from metaljesus's channel) and two racers hold a special place at my heart for looks: Motor toon Grand Prix and Axelerator: have a N.I.C.E. day.

If it's a simple stream cipher it should be very much possible to reap the encryption key from the game process with a debugger. Or just reap the sprites themselves. On the PlayStation you can press reset at the right time and dump the VRAM with one of the GameGenies clones to get the sprites. I think it can transfer them to a PC over serial or something like that.

>>3963159
Lush!

>>3967930
I've tried multiple ways to rip the sprites, but haven't had any luck. I'll be blatantly obvious in my stupidity and say right now I have very little understanding of what you're suggesting but I'm assuming that if it worked somebody would have already done it by now. Though the game's obscurity could account for nobody trying it yet.
Any attempts at ripping the sprites I've done so far gets the full screen in one image like an FMV.
This was an engine made by the developers themselves from scratch and never used again. It's possible the playstation version was remade using a different preexisting engine, but I'm not sure.
