>Maybe the japanese are just avoidant of admitting direct inspirations openly
Weird, from the media I consume, it's usually the other way around: japanese openly acknowledge their inspirations, while westerners try to hide it.

Example: Hideaki Anno said Evangelion ripped Devilman off so much he thought he was going to get sued.

Counter-example: George Lucas admitted the boulder trap scene in Indiana Jones came from a Scrooge McDuck story, The Seven Cities of Cibola (he later wrote the introduction for the re-release of Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck).

>The best D-Pad i ever used, I have no idea why Sega discarded it for the awful one on the dreamcast

It's because they have a gigantic hateboner for Nintendo and want to copy them every step of the way.

No, that's literally it. Their previous consoles used a circular pad because Nintendo has a patent on cross-shaped d-pads, with the Dreamcast they made the d-pad with a small round block in the center on which the d-pad balances itself. This change was enough to bypass the Nintendo patent and they could have Nintendo-style cross shaped d-pads on the Dreamcast.

It didn't matter that it was a flimsy piece of shit, all that mattered is that it was a Nintendo style cross shaped pad. Sega hardware designers were absolute retards and the only reason the Dreamcast didn't suck was using the PowerVR chip (british tech) and Bernie Stolar begging them to have the modem built in to every console (originally it was supposed to be sold separately). Likewise the Megadrive only didn't suck because of the 68000 CPU (american tech). The japanese side didn't make one good hardware decision.
>>
>>12640035
almost nobody played any pre-ps360 game online.

The dreamcast was loved because of Japanese games, 480p, and the VMU being a cool gimmick.

Genesis was loved because of Japanese games.

Jewy Stealer did nothing but sabotage sega with his goyslop mandate, I'm so glad that sand goblin is dead.

NEC had all the cards required to absolutely murder Nintendo and Sony. They had technical expertise, manufacturing capacity, developer contacts and had already developed previous consoles. They had deep knowledge of software, operating systems, semiconductors, and consumer electronics. They already had a CD-ROM console and could have lead the 3D revolution.

But they built a bulky FMV player and sidelined their own 3D GPU development, which would eventually become PowerVR.

>is this true? they had the technology and threw it out?
Sort of. It was supposed to be an add-on card. The PC-FX has a slot underneath (kinda hard to reach, have to basically upend the console), where the 3D accelerator was intended to go. But the add-on 3D card was never released.

The PC-FXGA has the 3D chip (Kubota/Hudson HuC6273), but there aren't any games which use it.

I recently started playing Final Fantasy IV again for the first time in a long while and it really feels like that in three hours more significant plot developments and events have occurred in that short span of time than a lot of modern games would do in 10 times that. There's been,
-A crisis of loyalty and conscience
-A tragic inciting event
-The loss of loved ones and regaining the will to fight
-Vengeance sworn
-A grand battle
-betrayal from your closest friend
-love triangle drama
-moral apotheosis
-heroic sacrifice of innocents
-a rescue of the love interest
IN THREE HOURS. And I'm not even rushing the game.

>>12633320
That's not true though. They still can be fun but you have to account for them being early 3D games compared to when 3D games were fully matured in the 6th gen and onwards and when 2d games were mature in the 4th gen. Early to mid PSX and N64 games have the misfortune of being caught in the awkward teen phase of 3D games. Doesn't mean they're bad in anyway though.

>>12634924
That game is just genuine shite. No one should go back to that garbage.


>>12639251
It's not that OoT is bad so much as if you've played modern descendants of OoT like Nier Replicant and Dragon's Dogma, you get used to the improvements they made and going back and playing the game on its terms is kinda difficult.

I feel like games that don't really have modern equivalents with their improvements fare better like Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve.
>>
>>12639853
I honestly dont think its going to happen because gen 7 shit and later is too forgettable for the most part and the good games are barely any different from modern shit anyway. who is going to get nostalgic for uncharted and demons souls when we are still getting the same flavor of slop in modern day anyway.
>>
>>12640140

I played these back to back pretty much right after i started emulating a couple years ago and I've been chasing the dragon ever since. Parasite eve 2 was fun but completely different and not nearly as special.

Bryce 3D is one of the original rendering softwares from that era and it works fine on modern computers. Jet3D got a new recompile for W10/11. Cinema 4D also survived and its old 98/XP versions work out the box.

I rented it. In the 1990s video stores had them majority of the sega CD library, you didnbt blindly buy games. You tried it a game for a night for $3 and checked it it had replayability or proper challenge to justify a purchase. The only exception was birthday or Christmas gifts where you could get surprise games.

This was honestly true for every console game from 1987-2005 or so (except for systems the rental stores ignored like saturn, dreamcast, TG16 and sega master system), before the video stores waned.
