What was the deal with many devs being so retarded with palette selection on Mega Drive back in the day? I understand color was the console's main relative weakness, but come the fuck on this is ridiculous. You can't even blame pic on the dev cheaping out for a smaller cart when both are the exact same size (24Mb/3MB).

Damn they made a white guy punch a black guy
>>
>>12561260
No this was a weird racism thing.
>>
I think 1992 was a much less racist place than it is now. back then, you could have an image of a white guy punch a black guy in the face (in a fair 1v1 street fight) and nobody would give a fuck. People are way to over sensitive over racism in the 2010's and 2020's, and it has become mind numbing boring.
>>
That moment when you realize it wasn't a race swap at all.
>>
>>12561341
dude, they didn't let them include slavery in Colonization. like shit there was no political correctness in the 90s.
>>
>>12561260
Tools back then were too primitive and slow in pricess, i supposed the color picking tools werent the best
>>
>>12561260
It wasn't that it was simply "white guy beating black guy in intro" check the japanese version and you will realize the differences, but my guess you will cry that it isn't in english.
>>
>>12561341
Gee, I fucking wonder why.
>>
>>12561616
Female oversocialization
>>
>>12561260
It's not a palette issue, look at the guy's hair.
>>
>>12561341
Not even remotely true. Yes, the media wasn't as crazy over racebaiting but races generally did not hang out with each other. In diverse schools kids hung out with those that looked like them. You wouldn't dare catch a white kid hanging out with the blacks mainly because he'd be shit from both whites/blacks over it.
t. old fogey

What I'm tryna say is 90s media would always show these diverse multi-hued friend groups that didn't really correspond to IRL people.

Sure, tubby.

that's true for dudes btw, girls in general are more race/color-blind

Hope she sees this bro.

why are you pretending to be me?

No one is trying to be you you nutjob get your ego under control not everything is about you
>>
>>12561260
They did not have endless time to dick around with palettes. Also, the tools they had to work with were much more primitive.
>>
>>12561438
I'm not talking about the race censorship m8.
>>
>>12561789
maybe if you lived in the boonies
i had every kind of person in my friend group

Face it. He blew you thr fuck out

Racism is always weird my friend.
Racism is ALWAYS weird. Remember this.

Face it. The other anon got btfo by him.

this is because women can't actually form friendships, associates can be whatever.
men form groups around an activity because hunting instinct.

People complained about there being a nigger on the title screen so Capcom removed it.

>Answer posted already.
>AI keep derailing his thread.
At least don't be retarded to bait, every human being knows why it was made that way, test original japanese.... ohh that's right AI can't differentiate shit at all for it left and right are the same with "remaster" being higher quality but the other was simply "limited colors" and not to avoid being called racists (snes, megadrive, 3do, ps1, etc all same stuff despite snes and the others having bigger pallette of colors compared to megadrive).
>>
>>12564210
meds.
>>
>>12564210
Both left and right on the Mega Drive you stupid fuck. Right is a romhack of left released around 5 years ago.
>>
>color is the md weakness
what about the robot fart audio?
>>
>>12564269
who's fault is it that 90% of US/Euro developers were too dumb to use anything but the GEMS driver?
>>
>>12564275
maybe they wouldn't have had to if SoJ not been petty faggots that only provided drivers to jap devs but not western ones
>>
>>12564275
There is nothing wrong with GEMS. Also, the farts thing is a myth caused by poor emulation and lossy audio compression.
>>
>>12564297
The Incredible Hulk and The Ooze sound pretty good so it's not like all Western devs were shit at getting good music out of it and needed the GEMS fart noise stuff.
>>
>>12564301
that's fucking bullshit

>>12565421
It's bait
>>
>>12565421
Lossy audio compression was not designed for the highly unatural waveforms generated by FM synthesis, it causes the codec to shit the bed and turn everything into farts. Lossy audio compression also fucks up the PSG somewhat. This one is actually quite noticeable in one specific case. Sonic's jump sound effect always sounds wrong on YouTube videos.
>>
>>12565429
Its not bait, its objective facts that you NPCs cannot comprehend.
>>
I'm not a GEMS fan at all, but DESU it was absolutely perfect for Vectorman 2.
>>12565429
Honestly that just reads like someone giving their honest 2 cents about something they care about.
>>
>>12561260
DAMN he punched the black off his face!
>>
>>12561260
Probably thought the colors would pop better on old tvs, plain white guys looked like blurs and black guys look like smudges, this way you can tell that it's a guy punching another guy
>>
>>12561260
Op is trolling, the left guy is black in the Japanese version of SF2sce.
Yes, his image shows the romhack, but he's also black in japan on mega drive.
