Why is 3 considered by so many to be the best one?
>>10882226Ok, take the opposite. RE4 is really obviously joking to anyone playing it now, but at the time people weren't sure if it was accidentally retarded like RE1's intro, or maybe that it was just localizers making a joke out of a game intended to be serious (ignore the giant robot).Crossing this boundary in the 2000s is how jap media really became fine with anglos beyond almost any other foreign culture media
>>10882331Playing RE4 at the time, the weirdo spanish midget guy made it pretty clear to me the game was tongue in cheek.
>>10879405That is true, but also is because prefered the variety of the jungle/mountain/swamp stages of metal gear 3 instead of the boring same-looking and small metal rooms of metal gear 2
>>10878604People who liked the previous games...
>>108786495 is actually pretty fun if you like collecting weapons and vehicles
Does anyone have full sized images of the pin-up posters that got removed? I plan on using these images in a mod to combat the censorship.
>>10879284This isn't a general.
>>10869223Serves you right for buying modern games lol
>>10881282Tomb Raider trilogy isn't modern.
>>10879294And yet it's still some how better than /v/

should 16:9 be the clear cutoff for anything retro-related? what constitute as sd or hd resolution? you could've a game running at 1280×960 on pc crt and still call it "high definition" in my opinion
>>10881587the standard isn't clear but 1080p and 720p are HD.Just a clear reminder resolution has gotten worse with time > 2002 be able to use resolutions of 8XXXx4XXX because the gpu and monitor required drivers to work properly.>current year just generic drivers and top resolution can be 1080p or 2160p (4k) and that's it.
>>10883308This is because monitors are now incompatible with weird in-between resolutions due to their digital nature. You could tell an electron gun to just move X% slower for timing variations, you can't do that with sample and hold. You get one native resolution, a bunch of resolutions that have internal scaling up/down to that resolution, and that's it.
>>10881779>I think the perfect 16:9 monitor size is around 25"My 16:9 monitor is 43", which gives me a 4:3 size of 35".I don't really understand why people game on tiny little screens. I'm having great fun upscaling Virtua Cop 2 to "bigger than the arcade" size (I'm sitting closer). One day I'll upgrade to 86" and have a 70" 4:3 screen so I can stand a little further back.
>>10881802your options are a RPTV from craigslist/facebook/the dump or a projector
>>10883495This. Its such a same we'll never see a multisync display in our lifetimes (unless...)

Why was RE3 considered a lazy rehash of RE2 in 1999?
>>10882445Seconding this. Game is fun as fuck. Was then and is now.
RE1>RE3>RE2
>>10882445This honestly. I've only seen people criticizing RE3 for being a rehash of 2 in recent years, before that people have always loved the third game and some considered it to be the best of the classic REs. I wonder if this hate towards the 3rd game came from some e-celeb or shit, I just don't understand where it came from.
>>10882024Because it was too similar and did not tell a new story or in a new setting.The game was a side story, it's always been and the leap to 2 from 1 was more impressive than the leap to 3 from 2.It was simply was seen as a lesser title that retread old ground.
>>10883412Metal Gear Solid 3?Onimusha 3?Devil May Cry 3?Dragon Quest 3?Street Fighter 3?Breath of Fire 3?Super Mario Bros 3?Metroid 3 / Super Metroid?Zelda ALttP?What a braindead fucking take
What are the best retro visual novels or dating sims?
>>10882109It's definitely a crossbreed, but if I had to pick one I'd label the Ace Attorney games as adventure games. At least the original trilogy.
>>10882326Which one has the best cock?
>>10881665Snatcher is an adventure gamePoliceniggs is a VN (not a game)
>>10883373--- me ---
>>10881460subahibi's retro enough for this board. so that.
I have been playing video games since 1992 and I have yet to play a better TPS game everything about this game is a legit masterpiece
>>10880667All 3 games look, feel and play absolutely the same. 2's levels are way better than anything in 1 though, there's lots of stealth stuff and also lots of pure action. Difficulty is also higher and it's fair to say there are a few bullshit trial and error parts but overall entire game is very memorable and quite long with its 2 discs.
>>10880669Thanks I'll play it eventually
>>108806672 has the same gameplay but the same feeling or aesethic.SF1 went for super-spy setting like James Bond and focused more on action.SF2 was darker and had way more stealth levelsSF3 is similar to SF2 but a bit less fun
>>10880669>All 3 games look, feel and play absolutely the sameNah, first one has slightly different movement controls. You can feel it when especially when strafing and moving forward at the same time. Feels kind of "slippery" for no better way of describing it. SF2 and 3 are the same though.
>>10880663>its a lot better than 1Shit taste you have there, I honestly feel bad for you. SF1 plays delightfully well and the endless respawn as a drawback is a retarded take.SF3 mechanics are as good as 1 and 2 but the game is soulless.
After playing both this year, I have concluded that T2X is better than TBP.
>>10881615In Dark Mod and Teef 2014 yes.
>>10881992And Thief 2 for any gas based light sources in OMs and FMs that support it. You just make the AI frob the light source when it's out. Thief 3 also had relighting torches.
Mission 4 of The Black Frog is godawful.
>>10882950Finished it, the latter half of the campaign was a total drag with the switch and key hunting, but the first two missions were good.
>>10876864Mission 2 of Calendra's Legacy has a timed objective.
Damn this is boring
>>10880782Ogre Battle
>>10883242best version of that is on Saturn
>>10883261They are different games. Ogre Battle 64 wasn't ported or versioned outside of the N64.
>>10880568What's boring about it?

What are the good, actiony retro mech games? No strategy/turn-based crap. I wanna be a cool-ass robot that kicks ass.

Xardion.No, I'm just kidding. It's a shit game.
Battletech: Armored Combat is a mech game that takes after the Strike series but without fuel management.

>>10883941what game?
>>10883794>A general purpose converter will assume the video is 640 pixels wideAnalog video doesn't even really have pixels, that's why you can do shit like push 2560x240 resolution into any CRT TV and it will very happily display it for you, obviously not with 2560 pixels worth of detail since that's far beyond its capability, but it'll show up on screen just fine.Are you basically saying that all these analog RGB to composite converters are trying to digitize the image first into some fixed resolution, then turn it into composite video from a digital representation, rather than going straight to composite from the analog RGB? Can't say I know how these work so that might be the case, but it sounds like a pretty roundabout way of doing it it. Also I'm pretty sure I've heard about Extron converters and shit like that which can do this, I assume a good solution must exist out there somewhere but I don't know any model numbers.
>>10883871i see them on FB marketplace all the time for free or very cheap. I guess like anything else YMMV.
>>10883989>Are you basically saying that all these analog RGB to composite converters are trying to digitize the image first into some fixed resolutionNo, the converters work in terms of frequency, not in pixels, it's just easier to understand that way. It's not sampling the signal like analog to digital conversion but it's still controlled by a clock, and if the clock lines up neatly with your colors you get best results.
>>10884014Doesn’t the color burst synchronize the clock frequency anyways
How come Japan needed a disc drive for certain Famicom games when the US didn’t need it for the NES? If it’s because the US carts were bigger, then couldn’t they just make a longer/taller cart for the games that would need it rather than require an entirely separate add-on?
I never figured out just how they were planning to connect an FDS to a toaster NES if it had ever gotten released here.
>>10882538Try Zelda II and especially Castlevania II have horrible constant loading screens
>>10882609Probably through that unused bottom expansion port on the NES
>>10882189ROMs were pricey enough in the early 80s that only Atari themselves and CBS made Atari 2600 carts bigger than 4k.
>>10882186>it didn't allow for more powerfull game>game that used the whole power had to be ported to sfc due to the famicom being unable to handle the game.>>10882212not really the total size was 800 kb each side.
Has anyone here played this? It's one of the more underrated FPS games from the 90's. Nightdive Studios is working on a remaster, which I'm excited for. I just wish it had a stronger fanbase.
>>10880761the remaster might do that. It definitely happened with Turok.Not saying turok was obscure or anything, but the remaster definitely helped.
>>10881237The fact that they did a remaster for the game prompts me to give it a try. The original on N64 turned me away because of the crappy draw distance. I heard Turok 2 is the best. Is that true?
>>10882801No, Turok 2 is awful. 3 is the best.
>>10882801I havent played 3 yet. I remember 2's levels being a bit more confusing but still a good game. There's no reason to skip the first one
>>10880824I want them to remake games that actually need remaking, like Blood 2.
Rayman thread.I've only played and got stuck on Rayman GBC and beat Legends, but I'm going to start from the beginning with the original Rayman MS-DOS version.Looking at the games in the series, there are some entries that are confusing.For starters, the original Rayman has a few different versions. I'm pretty sure the GBC game is different than the original MS-DOS/Sega/Atari/PS release, but supposedly the GBA also has a game called Rayman, and so does the Nintendo DSi. Does anybody know the differences?And again, the GBA has a Rayman 3, a 2D game released at the same time as the console, 3D version of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, but then the GBA also has a game called Hoodlum's Revenge, are the GBA games different?And,.. Rayman Rush, for the PS, is a "demake" as Rayman M for the PS2 which was released earlier, but also named Rayman Arena for the Gamecube?
One thing that I was not expecting going into this game was how shit the music was going to be. Like how the fuck is Bandland mostly instruments just 'farting' notes without any composition or melody whatsoever?
>>10871095Jag version interests me the worst, it's got the weirdest differences like Candy Chateau being completely different and having objects that wouldn't reappear until Rayman Designer
>>10880951Fuck, meant to write most, not worst
>>10880852OST is weird. Sometimes it's fantastic and sometimes it's just ambient noise. I love it though. This is probably my favourite.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-o-grYSAYo
>>10880852Seriously? Rayman 2 has a fantastic OST
Wanna check out the boktai games and since I'm not spending hundreds of dollars I'm naturally gonna be using an emulator with the patch that lets you manually adjust the sun level.Any big boktai-heads that could give me a rough outline of how much sunlight was say, a 3 on the bar vs a 10? I wanted to make it at least kind of similar to what the weather is outside or at least avoid totally throwing the balance out of wack by having the meter at the wrong setting all the time - also boktai thread
>>10881637wait boktai is hundreds of dollars now? LOL I bought like ten of them back when it was dirt cheapi have a whole shoebox full of pokemon crystal too lol
>>10881637Played it recently to the end, and i would say to use about 3 to 4 bars of sun level. Not because of emulating the similar weather outside, but because the system will take more time to OVERHEAT, OVERHEAT, OVERHEAT, OVERHEAT, OVERHEAT, OVERHEAT, OVERHEAT, OVERHEAT, OVERHEAT, OVERHEAT and OVERHEAT.
>>10882442Not him, but I always found the original GBA had a lot of glare so it looked good if you were somewhere with a lot of diffused light, but in direct sun you had to really angle it well so you could see the screen and not just a big reflection glare.
>>10882504shinbok is kind of lazy and not as good as 2 but lunar knights is just a really shitty isometic action game that completely removed all the parts of boktai that were compelling
>>10883237Filtered
