it's so fucking stupid

"here I'll fix everything by adding something that technically existed and totally ignore the fact that sometimes limitations drive innovation"

Look at games nowadays, they're shit mostly a slog to play through

Nothing changes, you’d just make other stupid what if posts

It would've saved the Saturn.

>>10922163
>What changes?
less 60fps games

>>10922186
This, non existent/alternate timeline shit ain't retro

so you're saying pachinko was the boomer's tiktok

yeah maybe on planet retard

>>10922040
Learn to use punctuation.

All games are either parkour, menus, or pachinko.

Score is too easily manipulated to be a goal. Time attack is a better way to gauge your improvements.

Belmont's Revenge is Christopher you fag

>>10922364
Dracula in Belmont's Revenge is very static and nowhere near as difficult as Circle of the Moon's, for example. The last two stages are definitely an increase in difficulty, and the second one in particular is rather long, but games such as X68000 have more surprises like the clocktower stage being around the middle or the very long Death stage.

not enough alice rule 34 out there

>>10921878
Coincidentally, this is the part where I dropped the game when I tried to play it a couple years ago.

>>10922096
I played Koudelka twice. The second time, I used a cheat to deactivate the random encounters, and the experience was 1000 times more enjoyable because of it. I like the combat system on paper, but it is extremely slow to an exasperating degree in practice. Everything, from moving around to executing an attack, takes ages.

>>10921878
aside from gameplay, I never understood the appeal of this series apart from Koudelka.

>>10923184
To make matters worse, its prerendered backgrounds are worse than anything on ps1 even aside from maybe Parasite Eve 1.

>>10921820
Its kinda crazy how games like this, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX, SSX, and Tony Hawk just don't get made anymore. Is there actually no market for non ball sports games?

DUDE

>>10921820
I've only heard this term used to describe games like Halo, Gears, and Call of Duty

>>10922798
Skate 4 exists? Maybe? It's hard to tell, being that it was announced at E3 like six years ago when E3 still existed. Outside of that there's Bomb Rush Cyberfunk as well as the actual JSR sequel we're supposed to be getting from SEGA

>>10922798
I guess not to the extent that it would be worth risking a modern AAA budget on it. Those types of games died when the industry bifurcated into either producing massive nine figure AAA games or indieshit, leaving AA games behind, which most of those extreme sports titles were.

>>10921820
Young me loved the Hoobastank song from this game. They had a few big songs in the 2000s, surprised I never see anyone mention them ever anymore, even reminiscently.

>>10922104

i guess it made sense as a lot of games at that time were trying to eliminate hud as much as possible, but yeah it's so easy to miss especially when you're so focused on movement/environment.

Xbox OG V2 DA is on par with SC1, PT and DA V1.

The coop is the peak of the series, overall with some unrefined bits and levels that aren't super exciting thematically.

A full room of spies vs spies is a blast, and the ps2 version has missing gadgets like cloak that make it shit. Never play ps2 for anything other than pt versus.

>>10922194
some randomized enemy placements like the rainbow six games would've been cool, but a lot of CT's levels are pretty tightly scripted so it would be a tradeoff. Maybe that could've been a feature for the higher difficulty modes

>>10922537

it would have been great if non-story-essential ai were randomised. i think CT is great for the story and idea, but I somehow think it could have been more expansive. levels become very short once you know the way.

>>10922824
especially since changes in difficulty only affect how much life you have, if you're not getting into combat the game plays identically

They should get their money back, this viral ad SUCKS.

>no engagement even though they removed poster counts

I would ask for a refund if I was that site. These are supposed to be viral ads, generating a buzz. If it doesn't generate a buzz, you fake it you silly lazy faggot.

>>10921789
aight

What site do you people even use to make these?

>>10923607

Weird physics. Feels like the car is on rails and you're just bending the rails.

>>10921785
I'm not gonna buy your game OP

>>10921785
Bought this one as a kid.
I was into anime and I wanted an animesque game for my new PC, but those were almost non-existent and World Rally Fever was pretty much the only one I could find.
It was quite fun.
>>10921787
Kinda like Out Run or the old scaling racing games. You get used to it.

>>10921817

>>10921775
Before you do anything (and if you're not using any hard mods) just be sure you back up your EEPROM key (or null it, though you won't be able to use Insignia) or you'll be in pain city. Trust me, I speak from experience.

>>10921892
>Most if not all modern children will parrot the first thing they found on google without understanding it
Indeed. It's a big problem on /vr/ these days.

Depends on how much effort you wanna put:
>what the best way to clone a new drive in would be
truth be told, I can't say much on this, as I went full hardmod where cloning isn't needed much due to softmodding being a bitch, but chimp is the most popular method.
>This means original dash and still popping in my dvds when I want to play
You can configure modchips to boot straight from the internal BIOS, allowing it to be 1:1 stock experience, optionally booting into a modded menu when wanted.
>should I go with an HDD for authenticity or upgrade to an SSD for longevity?
Easiest experience for softmoding is simply buying a new-old-stock IDE drive that supports locking (iirc this is the site everyone uses to this day https://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=list)), as SATA2IDE for the OG XBOX is a motherfucker without a hardmod (HDD and DVD drive are connected, so if the DVD drive doesn't like the adapter you're shit out of luck.)

>>10922286
>as SATA2IDE for the OG XBOX is a motherfucker without a hardmod
what?
just buy startech and attach a hdd once you have softmodded it

>>10921775
>I'm really surprised that the HDD hasn't shit itself on me yet
I have a second-hand 80GB IDE HDD from 2003 in my softmoded OG Xbox, and it still works perfectly to this day over 20-years-later. I can fit 24 games with their applicable DLC and updates on there, which is plenty for me. Never understood why people would try put 2TB HDDs in an OG Xbox.

>>10921718
It runs textures through a bilinear filter, I don't know how the PS3 BC behaves but this gives PS1 games a more epsxe look. I think that defeats the point of playing PS1 games.

PS2's texture mapping setting applies texture filtering, like bilinear or trilinear filtering. PS3's smoothing is some form of anti-aliasing to reduce the jagged edges of things.

I played the shit out of TFC before tf2 came out. I find it so much more fun than TF2 as well. NeoTF is an awesome mod too adds so much content

>>10921703
I used to play TFC. I always picked Scout because I thought grenade jumping was the coolest thing ever.

we tried it for a while but didn't really click so we came back to CS iirc it was beta 6

Yeah it was great I played in a bunch of clans.
Crunk, Oblivion, Rare, Tap Dat Ass. It was a lot of fun.
There were main leagues to play in competitively: STA and TFL. We used to play matches twice a week. And sometimes the maps were community made so they could be hit or miss.
I played in both 9v9 and 5v5 leagues.

i used to play tfc 2fort and only 2fort back in high school for probably 500 hours.
never played tf2. zero interest

>>10921664
This hold true for every system really, only 10% or so of a library is worth looking at, with the top 5% being the 'must plays'.
These percentages will be lower if a system has heaps of shovelware (think wii or ps2)

>>10921664
Wait til you get to the translated roms and play games like metal max (tank rpg and has some nes and ps2 games also). I did this a few years ago and played a ton of the euro/us games and than started getting into translated games and found some really good rpgs to play thru and enjoy.

welcome to Sturgeon's Law. "90% of everything is shit".

Honestly? Based thread. Auster wanting to change narratives and rewrite the way people sees the Super Nintendo is SOUL.
You just don't see this kind of passion and menta illness on modern console warriors.

>>10921903
I think he was just talking about sci fi. Such nerdisms from back in the day are basically excuses to remain a midwit in any field you're interested in.

Bump.

it says right there on the box "official sega seal of quality"

>>10921670
My 7-year-old cousin may have done that with Gimp.

can he get me a job at sega (or sammy or whatever they're called now)

Russian here. What you posted looks like an average Russian pirate cart for Mega Drive. I assume it's not even in Russian, since the screenshot shows English text. All they did was print the cover with the Russian description. Last time I checked, no games for Mega Drive were ever officially released in Russia, it was all piracy.

The enemies are background tiles, not sprites so as to avoid going over the scanline limit. This was another programming trick probably only Nintendo themselves could have pulled off at that early point.

The NES game is based off the film in name only, it's clearly a Game of Death spoof (5 floors, a specialist master serving as the guardian/boss of each floor, 1st floor is an eskrima master, 3rd floor is a giant.) Ideally the giant should have been in Mister X's place but they probably didn't know how to convincingly make such a huge guy fight as relatively nimbly as you could at the time

Still one of my all-time-favorite games in general

>>10922301
>Ideally the giant should have been in Mister X's place but they probably didn't know how to convincingly make such a huge guy fight as relatively nimbly as you could at the time
If the game had been made later in the Famicom's run they would have just done the usual trick of making a giant boss out of background tiles over a solid colored background. But that wasn't possible before they had memory mappers.

Released on November 24, 1984 in Japan. This game was known outside of Japan as "Kung-Fu Master".

Spartan X was the first sideways-scrolling beat-em-up. While understandably not as polished as the games it would go on to inspire, Spartan X is still regarded as an absolute classic. It is also fiendishly difficult.

The official name for the regular fighters is 'Gripper'.
The official name for green-clad boys which make their first appearance on Floor 2 is 'Tom Tom'.

This game is based on the Bruce Lee movie 'Game of Death' then changed and marketed together in 1984 with the movie 'Wheels on Meals', starring Jackie Chan (as Thomas) and Sammo Hung (who also directed). This movie is called 'Spartan X' in Japan.

In the game you have a 5-Floor Pagoda (which is Beopjusa in Chungcheongbuk-do, South-Korea) and the Giant Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In the movie 'Bruce's Finger', you can see the kidnapping letter and a tied-up girl in a red dress. In the movie 'Goodbye Bruce Lee, his Last Game of Death' you can see the red pillars and the ceiling tape, like in the game.

Nishiyama, the designer of the game, initially believed the game did not need any music, as it was a martial arts game and he thought it would sound more impressive to just have the sound effects. Ishizaki, the composer, had a melody in mind for the game, and suggested that two versions be made, with and without the music, and see which sounds better. After hearing both versions, Nishiyama agreed that the music version sounds better and included Ishizaki's melody in the game.

A French movie, 'Le Petit Amour', by Agnes Varda, doesn't have 'Kung-Fu Master' just as the name in USA but also has an intro with a scroll-lateral reference to the game and a lot of scenes of the game itself too! One thing that can cause some strangeness is the fact that the movie is a romance and not a fighting/action movie as the US name can propose.

Would love a remake like The Raid series so you can pencak silat the shit out of everyone.
