>>12681282FPBPI really don't understand how they managed to get greenlit for sequels in the first place when the first two games were such utter shite. DMC1 in particular is probably the worst game I've ever played on the PS2 not counting shovelware.

If you actually want to go for a curated, enhanced experience, start with golden era arcade gaming. Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Donkey Kong are a must. Don't just play for 10 minutes, try to get decent scores. Play for several days and learn the games and get proficient. Feel the raw ludonics, the DNA of video games.If you want more golden era arcade stuff you can delve into Colecovision, good console with lots of great arcade ports and some exclusives as well.After you went through the golden age arcade stuff it's time for you to get into the actual golden era of gaming and go nuts with Famicom/NES. Don't just play the top 10 games like Zelda, Mario 3 or Castlevania right off the bat (heh), try to delve into early Famicom first. I recommend trying any early 90s famiclone multicart, they include many classics, many of which weren't released officially outside of Japan.I think you will be busy with Famicom for a while. And after that you have Genesis and SNES.

It’s literally impossible to install the GTA III Upstate Liberty mod and I can prove it.
Reminder if you didn't beat the original PS2 version you didn't beat the game. The missions were designed with the lock on aiming system and controls in mind. Free-aim completely trivializes the game and makes it piss easy.
You’re both horrible pieces of shit.

>>12681360OK, prove it then.

Gran Turismo (1) runs faster, looks better, and plays better than 2.It also has a better soundtrack. We all convinced ourselves back in the day that 2 was better, but it wasn't at all
Factually, I know these games are Japanese, but for some reason they have always felt like PAL-kino to me. Like something from Psygnosis.
Can you drive the ultimate german shitbox in this game?Yeah... gone real quiet now huh?
>>12682145>We all convinced ourselves back in the day that 2 was betterNot me. Anyway I like this webm of 2.
>>12682205>PAL kinooxymoron
When GT2 came out, my father went to do the weekly groceries shopping for once in his lifetime instead of my mother. Shop had a video game section. I had convinced him to buy the game but my sister was apparently appointed safeguard of the shopping but I still managed to get GT1 instead, which had a re-release 3 times cheaper than 2.I remember at school someone trying to mock me for getting 1 just when 2 comes out but another boy stepped in and said, so what, it's a great game, and the first guy shut up.Couple years later I finally got GT2 as well and I realized I had gotten the better deal all along so I still ended up playing it close to 100% completion. The PAL version of GT2 compared to the PAL version of GT1 is particularly bad, I think the 50hz conversion is worse but I'm no expert on this game's matter.Thanks for reading my blog
Publisher FAKKU Games has acquired the rights to the entire back catalog of F&C and has announced they will be rereleasing various Fairytale and Cocktail Soft games with official English translations. The announcement included the first ten games they will be rereleasing:>Shinjuku Monogatari>Ballade For Maria>Jinmon Yuugi>Count Dracula>Necronomicon>Marine Philt>Dead of The Brain>Dead of The Brain 2>Pia Carrot>Dengeki NurseThey are partnering with fan translation group WINE to use their existing translations for Dead of The Brain 1 and 2 and Dengeki Nurse.
>>12681287I would be down to buy that. I'm all for supporting modern physical pc releases as long as they are not on CDR and have no online drm bs. What site has it?
>>12681661BEEP Online Shop. BEEP is a retro gaming store in Japan. They do reprints of old games occasionally. In addition to this new Windows port, they also did a reprint of the Sharp X68000 version, though that doesn't have English language support.No one bothered to implement proper line breaking so it looks super ghetto, but apparently they did outsource a legit human translation. It's not MTL. They gave the same treatment to the game Cyberblock Metal Orange EX, so you can buy a CD of that and play it in English too.I have no idea if there's DRM. Probably not?
>>12681661Also I'll point out that PC games getting a physical CD or DVD release is not that uncommon in Japan. AAA publishers aren't doing it obviously, but you see it a lot for doujin software and games from mid-sized publishers.
might be cool how are the translations from this group?
>>12682461I highly doubt anyone here has played any of these games in both Japanese and English, so you're unlikely to get a proper answer to that question. That being said, as an EOP, I can at the very least attest to not having seen any obvious English writing issues (grammatical mistakes, awkward phrasing, etc.) in what I've played from them. (I've finished Dead of the Brain and am at what I'm guessing is around the halfway point of Dengeki Nurse.)

Halo 2 was too ambitious. It was like two generations too early for the tech it was trying to push. Even if they did manage to ship stencil shadows, the resolution/performance would have been too low. pic-related is only simulated/approximated btw, it's not even the real deal that could have been with pixel perfect shadows and dynamic lights.Xbox had a high end PC-level GPU coupled with a low-tier Pentium III 733 CPU with a crippled cache. The system has Direct X 8.1, shader model 1.1, vertex shader 1.1 and two Vertex Shader units, while the Geforce 3's only had one. The Xbox GPU was quite powerful.

>>12680052EOPs can't play the PS2 version because it isn't translated. Aside from that, there are a few purists who dislike the PS2 remake since it has the same combat system as the third game. If you do not fall into that category, there is no reason to play the saturn version over the PS2 version.
>>12682418The PS2 demake completely ruins the next chapter previews, and for that reason alone, it's unplayable dogshit.
Changes from NTSC-U GameCube RE4 to NTSC-J/PAL GameCube RE4 (Jan 2005)Ammo and grenades drops significantly less often and Pesetas drop slightly more oftenAmmo types now have individual caps, so you can only obtain 25 shotgun shells, 15 magnum ammo, and 10 mines at a time on Professional. Previously, the game capped you at a generic 150 'BulletPoint' value based on the sum of your inventory.Ammo placements in the world have been revised (generally towards less ammo).The Knife does 100% more damage to most enemies, with the notable exception of Krauser, who actually takes 12.5% less damageThe TMP does 40% more damage to Ganados and 20% less damage to El Gigante and KrauserThe Red9 and Blacktail weapon damage values were buffed to be strongerThe Rifle's exclusive upgrade is stronger (18.0 -> 30.0)The Semi-Auto Rifle's exclusive upgrade was nerfed (0.4 -> 0.8 firing speed)The Handgun exclusive upgrade crit chance was nerfed (50% -> 33%)Matilda has a faster burst, higher rate of fire, higher firepower, and slightly slower reload speedMine Thrower mines explode after 3 seconds (down from 5 seconds)The Merchant's First Aid Spray stock is now dependent on whether you have any healing items in your inventory. He has none if you have more than 3 healing items in your inventory, 1 if you have more 2-3 healing items in your inventory, and 2 if you have none.

Could the DVD have stopped the rampant Piracy that, ultimately, was the demise of the Dreamcast?
>>12681467Okay, but that doesn’t make this >>12681293 post any less ridiculously inaccurate.
>>12681439>Using the Voodoo2 Sega was contracted to could have saved it. That gpu was fairly powerful. About 3x better than the NEC chip. It could have run Deus Ex.lol watthe voodoo 2 was a four-chip setup that required a ton of memory chipset to get 100 MPixel/s fillrate. the powervr2 in the DC could do 3.2 GPixel/s (or 800 MPixel/s with transparency on) with a single chip and 4 SDRAM banks.voodoo 2 chipset alone would cost more than twice as much as an entire Dreamcast.
>>12681480Yep. The main reason the Dreamcast did pretty well for its first year in America is that it offered next gen 3D graphics at a low price.
>>12681283>Those were early 00s.No, realplayer 4 was included on win 98 disc so it got a lot more use in 98 and 99. My hyper police fansubs from 98 or so were srill the tiny rm files.

They replaced the old 90s realplayer software with the realone player which was a combined movie and music player and everyone hated it. >>12681247>Things that never happenedIf you are doubting that playstation mod chips were common in the 90s it means you were not alive in the 90s, simple as.
