It is not. Emotion Engine rapes the GayCube as the Graphics Synthesizer delivers it in stunning 1080i.

Playing through 2 atm, enjoyable but it took me a bit to warm up to all the different combat changes (additions). I admit the charm of the first game isn't carried over but the gameplay itself is way more fluid/less janky

That said, I thought the first was really solid once you familiarized yourself with the general mechanics. The difficulty curve was also solid: found every stage increasingly challenging but never controller-flinging level frustrating (probably not a hard game overall by any means but whatever)

Did you ever get swindled purchasing games back in the day? In grade school, my friend was hyping me on King of the Monsters saying it was super cool and what not. I saw the SNES version at Walmart one day, so I snagged it. Man, was I disappointed when I got home. That was the worst $20 I ever spent. I later tried to sell it at a pawn shop, but all they offered was $4 despite it being complete and barely used. My mom said no. I still have it to this day.

Memes aside, their technical reputation was flawless. They got acquired after their original CEO died at an early age. Then they were forced to make a live action game like everyone else, because publishers are retarded. That project was then cut and sony didn’t like their new project ideas, but what the fuck do suits know about what players want.

What are you talking about? The SotC remaster (not the remake) was broken trash and literally nobody likes the DeS remaster.
Their only original game was a $15 mini on PSN that had lukewarm reviews at best.

This game was really fun. What are other rail shooters I should play besides Star Fox 64? I just remembered this game was made by the Gram Turismo devs so said
>Fuck it, I'll play it this afternoon
and it was great. Will do hard mode tonight.

Sin and punishment is the best rail shooter ever made (and the best Treasure game)

Play this one

I played it years ago but I just spammed credits. I’ll give it a real playthrough soon. Same with Panzer Dragoon which I’ve never played but they look cool.

Sin and punishment also hard mode but you need to unlock by beating it on normal

OK but try beating it using only the Alucart set and tell me if it's too easy then, huh, tough guy.

I wish taking the Alucart set to the final boss would result in a fight against Tracula.

I've heard a couple times that gaming became really normalfaggish with the PS1 and so on. Is that really true? I'm curious about it because as far as I can see, the NES and MD were already "mainstream" beforehand, no?
I wasn't around back then so sorry if this sounds stupid

"widespread" normalfag, sure. but the spark was lit with PSX.
if you think that normies weren't openly talking about Lara Croft or how badass Solid Snake was in public, it's because you weren't alive.
look at the cover of the August '99 issue of Playboy. don't get much more normalfag than that.

You can tell there was a shift just by the change in advertising.
-80s and early 90s game ads ran in comic books and commercials on saturday
mornings or with after school cartoons.
-by 1997 we saw final fantasy 7 ads in playboy and rolling stone magazine (rolling stone was still credible and a popular college age magazine at this point)
-tomb raider soon followed with more sexualized ads in adult orientated magazines (maxim, FHM etc)
-video game ads were now appearing on WWE raw during the peak of the attitude era when they pushed their limits of what was allowed on tv, again capturing that early 20s demographic
-game ads were also appearing on late night tv, especially conan obrian which dominated 20-something ratings, and late night MTV

Pic related is the two page ad frim playboy in 1997.

the first time an adult who wasn't an immediate family member ever spoke a single word to me about video games, it was about RE1.

Was Nights a big hit in 1996?

>Wow, never have a seen such a poorly-aged statement.

That article is from 1995, and Tomb Raider looked like an evolution from Doom in terms of character movement. Doom was looking like a relic at that point in time, when FPS games were evolving quite fast on a technical level. That was the first magazine reveal of Tomb Raider in the North American market. As Game Fan magazine had really good relations with Core Designs in 1995, Core gave them the 'exclusive' first look. The magazine says that they visited Core personally. Also interesting that they marked US Gold as the publisher.

Yeah, turns them into video game collectables, ruining the bit of role-playing immersion as you assess the value of what you're swiping and the gear you might be able to fence it for.
>>
What’s the best way to play this series now?
>>
>>12558671
Play it on hard, not expert. The extra objectives are fun, but depending on the level aren't always available and getting into sword fights with the occasional guard is actually a criminally overlooked element of the game that is also fun.
>>
>>12558039
I liked it as well but the gimmick at the end didn't really work for me, the monster fell through the trapdoor into the water so it was very anticlimactic.
Are you having issues with 1.28 as well? I noticed worse framepacing than with 1.27 in older missions and reverted to 1.27.
>>
>>12558510
90% gold requirement on expert was the dumbest thing. Not a single OM from the first two games was that demanding. Even Undercover, which was the most demanding OM, was still less than 90% by a little.
