Prerendered graphics with isometric perspective.

Can you give a more soulful description, or do you not have enough RAM to process emotion?

>>6694974
Off-brand.

Prerendered sprites

>>6694990
Fpbp. Well done. Perfectly executed.

>>6695003
kinda agree

It's weird how the game is kinda 3D but not really. What's the name for that or is there even one? It's just something I noticed. You'd think all SNES games would look like this if they could

>>6694974
Shit.

>isometric angle
>d pad with no "right" feeling control set up to accommodate it
>precision platforming required
Someone fucked up

>>6694974
True Claymation

I would call it "2.5D"

Are you retarded? That’s your fucking answer right there you autist. Instead of being grateful that somebody took the time of day to answer your asinine question, you whine like a god damn retard.

I’ve never played SMRPG, are there really SNES button enemies?

>>6694994
he literally answered it in the most soulful way you scumbag

>>6695158
yes, also available in super famicom

It's very hard to judge position in isometric games, basically the only way to figure out an object's height is through context clues. Which is acceptable for RPGs but infuriating for platformers (see: Equinox, Sonic 3D Blast)

It's also less intuitive for artists and programmers working with tile based graphics hardware like the SNES/Genesis, which steers you towards top-down or sidescrolling games. It was a more common sight on the PS1, PC and ZX Spectrum.

ooga booga, da pictures ah rendered beforehand, den placed on da isometric grid mah nigga

>>6695331
anon he said soulful not soulfood

>>6695296
lol, they didn't even bother making the A enemy darker purple
changing the controller colours was such a dumb idea

>>6694990
fucking nailed it perfectly, first try. If I had never heard of this game, and you said this, id fully understand its visual art style

>>6695003
>Yoshi in the corner giving you the illusion that he plays a big role in the game and is playable like the others
misleading

>>6695331
fill me up with your soul pole daddy

OK /vr/, you sit down to an isometric game like this. The controller is a d pad.

You press Up.

Which way does the character move?

Answer carefully.

>>6695003
It's just ballz, ballz3D.

>>6695601
forward

>>6695127
Don't know why they didn't just do it like Mario and Luigi. Isometric isn't even really a good look for the Mario franchise.

>>6695601
Whichever way the character is facing. Tank controls ftw.

They're not enemies. Bowyer shoots one of them and locks the button (Items, Specials or Normal Attacks) and you can't use them until he locks a different one. And it's not a status effect that Able Juice can fix, either.

>>6695601
they move forward, of course

>>6695601
up and to the right

Nah when you press up you should go right. Pressing right should take you down.

How would you describe this artstyle?

>Prerendered graphics with isometric perspective.
So is this, but I wouldn't say it has the same graphical style as Super Mario RPG.

>>6694994
highly compressed 16 bit

>>6696216
well no, but that's just a difference of smrpg being cartoony, and aoe being more realistic
"rerendered graphics with isometric perspective" is little more than a medium, like saying "watercolour on canvas in an orthographic projection", that can still result in very different looking pictures

>>6696268
I agree, which is why I don't think the first post is the best post because it describes as you say the equivalent of a painting's medium as opposed to the graphical style.

If Zoolander was about computer programing, this would be a quote from that movie.

>>6695121
It's not really a hardware limitation. The Z axis is just adding another variable.

The limitation comes from displaying it in a way the player can handle. The Isometric angle helps, but most games chose to just use a simpler amount of values on it

THIS IS NOT RETRO GAMES. Do not post about off topic shit like tv shows. This board is for retro games only so this is all bannable and off topic.

A style that sucked up all the memory and made the game shorter and less epic.

>>6694994
da pictures r 3d n shiet but dey're not y'know? and da screen looks at dem frum above. shiet's crazy nigga

>>6695601
they should move directly up. If you want to move forward (that is up and to the right) you should press up and right.

>>6694994
Go back to /v/

>>6695738
That’s actually a pretty fucking cool dynamic.
I need to get around to playing that game.

>>6696786
They're not discussing TV shows, retard. They're saying what it's most like.

>>6695601
No movement. Just have the diagonals move you. I always wondered why there was so much hate for isometric console games and then I played non-Genesis games and realized that SNES and NES dpads sucked horribly for these specific kinds of games. On Genesis, playing a game like Landstalker felt perfectly natural and intuitive, I think this might be one of the many reasons why that system had so many great top down action games.

This aesthetic deserves a name but doesn't have one.

>high contrast
>high poly
>Phong shading
>minimal textures
>hard shadows
>bump mapping may be present but isn't used in a sophisticated way

>Ah yes, that's great, but could you maybe make it less correct instead?

>>6696294
kek

>>6694990
I would have just stopped at "isometric" but that's a perfect description.

>>6694994
utterly retarded autistic pedantic faggot that should pull the dragon dildo out of his ass and ask his mother to slap him and send him back to school.

>>6694994
This sounds like something my dad would say to explain why video games are satanic.

>>6696294
Holy shit lol

>>6696294
man that movie was forgettable
i only remember the scene of the miniature building being smashed (because it gets reposted all the time)
and the scene where the imac gets smashed to get to the files (and i'm not actually 100% sure if that was even a scene from this movie)
