This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro". Helpful links: Game Tech Wiki Emulation General Wiki
Could Castlevania Resurrection have saved the Dreamcast?

>>12576549>Sega said they needed Dreamcast owners to buy Shenmue twice to make a profit.Notice how he said dreamcast owners and not just everyone who already bought Shenmue.The DC sold nearly 10 millions, so he's effectively saying Shenmue would need 18-20 million units to make up for the money spent on it.>since 1) you needed a modchipThat shit was easy as fuck to do unless you tried to do it yourself.
>>12576648>music CD's, and DVD'sName one album or artist who failed due to piracy.>>12576553For an argument to require debunking it needs to be proven legit first.
>>12578442>and you didn't need a modchip for the other three consoles I fucking mentionedThat's a fairly sound argument actually.
Playing old games on PVMs is exactly as inauthentic as using a RetroTinkYour opinion on one should be the same as the other
>>12569693Yeah, totally agree. This PVM thing is ridiculous, these games were made for CRT's because that was a consumer TV back then,
>>12577076Many arcade displays were PVM-like. Do you think Tekken 3 in arcades used a paltry cheap low grade screen with composite?
>>12569693That looks like a cool screen. I love my pvm and playing games on component, s video and composite. I love that you froth at the mouth in rage at the thought of other people enjoying something you don't like
>>12576947nah, I just want it to be good enough and have the crt experience. Ill exclusively play old vidya and watch movies / cartoons
>>12577076A PVM is a CRT you idiot.

This is the moment it was over for Dreamcast
>>12575008Tekken Tag Tournament was announced for Dreamcast. Sony probably threw a bitch fit or bribed Namco to not release itTime Crisis2 was also announced i recall
>>12578069Yup, Namco was going to make all their games like Ridge Racer, Ace Combat, Katamari Damacy, etc. exclusive to Dreamcast but fucking Sony whined and cried.
>>12575032Poor 32X, assassinated by SoJ.Just about to come out and suddenly the announcement of the Saturn. Who'd buy an add-on when the next full console is around the corner?SoA was ready and willing to support the system, but no trust in sales - no software - no sales - no software - ...Sad really.
>>12578084Exclusive nope that's just dumb from Namco's perspective. All games mentioned ran on the same hardware as Soul Calibur arcade did. Transferring them to Dreamcast would have been child's play.
>>12578113>Soul Calibur arcadeSuch a game never existed. Soul Edge 2 ran on a system 12 board and is nothing like Calibur.

>>12578453So far, only in this lobby. There's some nice seating and suitcases scattered about. I'm about 11 maps in.
>>12577136>Mage is pretty good at damaging multiple enemies at the same timeAs long as they're all lined up (granted, it happens a lot) and with pitiful low damage. Any other weapon would be heads and shoulders above the staff if it wasn't for the shards being extremely unreliable.>>12577074Fighter pulls way ahead early on, but having a weapon that actually deals damage and a 3 hit combo that kills shit.Only his third weapon is ranged and he get bullied by ranged enemies the entire game.

How did RE4 "Save the franchise" if it completely changed what the franchise was about?
Oh, and the Wii edition of RE4 sold another 2 Million (though that port ruins the gameplay).
RE4 is one of the most fun games ever, I don't know why people hate it solely because it's different without judging it on its merits as an amazing action game
>>12576337He's harsh, but objectively, RE4 is what the developers would much rather make than making RE4 yet another original style Resident Evil.>>12578556Some people have decades long psychological complexes about about throwaway forum posts and disagreements at school.
>>12578401>They want Leon to scream "women rights!" insteadyou want to hear a joke
>>12576031RE was one of the most popular franchises in gaming when RE4 came out. There was nothing that needed saving.

I'm seriously considering buying one of these even though I just bought a controller to play emulators on my TV connected to steamlink but never used itI think it might be something about the smaller screen I don't knowit would be a 467H for PS2 and psp but I might just be liking the idea of having and using it and not actually using it
>>12577770>they played like shitIf you're using an OG 3DS it might be because it can't handle h264, not only because it's weaker, but also because unlike New models, it doesn't have hardware h264 decoding
>>12578338Thanks frendo
Anyone ever try these dirt cheap handhelds?
Do you classify it as an actual rpg?
>>12576901It's an RPG but it's not retro.
>>12576901yeah why wouldn't i
>>12577997It was on the OG XBOX lil nigga
Back in 2002? Sure.By modern measure? Double sure.
Do you classify this thread as low effort b8?

>>12578427best girl
>>12578424Is this Golden Axe? Are 360/ps3 games retro?

>>12578498Seen sexier
>>12578498Love how she just shamelessly flashes you throughout the entire game.
DualShock is the definitive controller design after 30 years. What went right here?
>>12576660Ps. My experiences might be outdated but I recall gta iv had a thing where if you hold down L2 slightly you free aim, if you press it fully you lock to enemies. But I always play the game with free aim only so I don't have use.
>>12575243I've been playing dpad-focused retro games on Switch Online and I realized 2 offset analog sticks like the DualShock is the way to go. It's much easier to use an offset analog stick than it is to use an offset dpad like on Nintendo and Xbox controllers. With the Dualshock you get the best of both worlds whereas with other controllers I feel like I need to break out a dpad-specific controller if I want to play a retro 2D game.
>>12576617>Right analog stick is way betterFuck no
>>12575243Steal the already great SNES controller and make it better.Then copy the N64's analog stick but have two because symmetry is pretty.
>>12575254>Nintendo make a joystick>let's go with 2 joystick we don't know the purpose of the second but who caresSony made a dual analog controller years before the DS1. If anything it was Nintendo that was chasing them.
>>12575109I bet you have to use a game genie to beat SMB1 huh?
>>12578195Concession Status: Accepted
>>12575204Because some of us had these thing back in the day and even back then wood of preferred a better way of accessing the levels.

I'll start with Knights of the Round.The SNES version feels and plays better. Why? The arcade version is technically more advanced sure, but snes version kinda has better actual combat flow. The slower pace,, heavier movement makes fighting feel more deliberate (think sekiro/dark souls) instead of chaotic crowd clearing. Positioning spacing timing blocks/parries all matter way more cause the screen isnt just full of nonsense all the time.The arcade version can get really messy desu. Enemy spam, dumb stunlocks, chaotic multiplayer scaling ruining singleplayers omode, quarter eater balancing (but thats a meme! no it's not, its extremely choatic in an unfun way)etc. Sometimes it feels less like youre learning mechanics and more like youre just surviving visual clutters.... and trading hits with 20 mooks on screen lol. Faster doesnt automatically mean deeper.Meanwhile the snes version trims the fat and makes the combat cleaner and more tactical. Less enemies means attacks are more readable and fights feel more intense in a good way. Damage matters more armor upgrades feel meaningful and you actually gotta think a bit instead of facerolling everything. It ends up feeling more like a legit action game with some weight to it rather than pure arcade chaos.
>>12578062Turbo didnt lag on SNES, i think you are confusing it with the Dramatic Slowdown that was programmed into the game engine itself even on Arcade for the sake of impact.What lagged as hell was Alpha 2 on SNES
>>12578494Tranny Smith, that what it is.
>>12577448When I was 16, I was on 4chan posting in /v/. /vr/ didn't exist it the time. /vr/ was basically just /v/, but with UR MR GAY
Tekken Tag. The original arcade version is essentially a souped-up PlayStation game, while the home version is, and looks like, a PS2 game.
>>12577448>Why would a 16 year old be on /vr/ let alone 4chan?I started browsing 4chan in 2006 when I was 15
>devs made one of the best action-adventure games on PS1/DC>people hated it just because it's not a mindless beat 'em up like the first gamesad
>>12578496I remember getting filtered by this game hard. I loved the first one. Got the second one as a Christmas present. Played it for about an hour. Was bothered by the lack of music and by how I kept getting my ass kicked and moved on to a different game. I should probably give the Dreamcast version another attempt.
>>12578496I hated it because they removed multiplayer. The first game was much better.
>>12578496>peopled hated it because it was completely different from the previous gameThat's reasonable.
>>12578496i don't think it was hated because there was going to be FF3 on PS2 before it was canceled
>>12578496I'll never forget this game. As a kid, I asked my cousin to buy a beat em up game for ps1 for me.He probably asked some seller in the store, and instead o fighting force 1 (that is actually a beat em up), he chose fighting force 2. Maybe he confused the games or thought the second was the same as the first one.I never beat it as a kid, reached that lizard monster and gave up.
Are there any video game remakes that are an improvement on the original?
>>12578457
>>12578457imagine if the images were flipped. some old game had a lovingly crafted castle ruin and the remake devs decided boxes with some brick sprite accent were punchier.
>>12578457Theres not a single remake with more cultural relevance and more sales than the original. To be an improvement you would need to remake an already bad game which is not financially viable so it doesnt happen.
