How is the Diablo PS1 port?
>>
It was good if you were a poorfag. No reason to play it now.
>>
>>12603232
Couch co-op is kind of cool
>>
>>12603246
The devilutionx pc source port already has you covered on that front, with controller support.
>>
>>12603257
Yeah but I just want to load up a ROM on my CRT
>>
>>12603297
Then load a rom on your crt. Play Colony Wars. It's a great space combat game with branching paths, some of the best graphics and presentation available on ps1.
>>
>>12603297
play a real ps1 dungeon crawler then like crime crackers or azure dreams
>>
>>12603228

One of the better pc to console ports I've ever played. Controls surprisingly well.
>>
>>12603228
really cool, but it's slow/laggy on real hardware
PAL version is even more slower
a save file takes a whole memory card
saving/loading is also slow because 2x drive
tremendously much more difficult because good loot is more scarce

>>12603246
max 2 players and cannot stray too far away from each other
unlike on PC LAN where every player can separate anywhere, even to different floors

>>12603257
It's still wip

going through doors is a bitch

Good enough to make PCfags seethe about it decades later as evidenced by this thread and how much cope there is already.
>>
>>12603330
azure dreams is dogshit.
>>
>>12603228
Inferior, but acceptable.
>>
>>12603228
the enemy animations are shit. they have like half their frames removed. navigating your inventory is a pain obviously. but surprisingly everything else is there. everything you can do on PC you can do on PS1. there's even things exclusive to PS1 like character reflections in the river in town.

Has some slowdown, and cuts a bit of content, but is otherwise fairly full fledged, you've really got Diablo on your PSX. Oh yeah, and uses a lot of save blocks, but that's maybe less of an issue these days.

Highlights are that it had couch co-op, which a LOT of people really liked and remember fondly. Also it tries to make up for some of the cuts by adding some nice little bits of detail, like colored lighting, reflections in water, etc, (a bit like how PSX Doom added effects, actually).

>>12603246
Yeah, that's the thing people liked, but like said, you can basically get that with DevilutionX now if you want, and get more content and better performance.
You could even convert over old PSX Diablo save files for it I think.

>>12603297
They've ported DevilutionX to a lot of systems by now, so if you have like a jailbroken PS3, PS4, XBox, etc, you could put it on one of those and hook them up to your TV. Hell, they even have it for Amiga, for those who would want that.

>>12603641
Oh shit, would you look at that, they're finally on the verge of adding couch co-op!

>>12604065
>they have like half their frames removed
Well, that's PC games ported to PSX, they often had to trim shit for memory reasons. PSX Doom cuts out the coolest and toughest enemy because he was just way too many frames (and PSX Final Doom replaces most of Plutonia with Master Levels).
Personally, I think the loss of the hell knights is the bigger drawback than cut frames, but this was really about as good as you were gonna get a port like this.
>>
>>12604196
stop avatarfagging, retard
>>
>>12603228
It's good enough. Out of all the consoles that are now considered retro, I find the PSX to be the most complete in terms of its library, and it has every genre I've ever been interested in.
>>
>>12603257
PC vegans are the lowest form of humanity.
>>
>>12603228
Only thing that ever put me off from trying it on PS1 was that a save used up an entire memory card.
>>
>>12603257
>dupe exploit patched out
unless theres another idk about
the graphics of the ps1 port is better too
>>
>>12604813
DevilutionX is based, no arguments there
>>
>>12603228
I tried playing it once and what I remember two things:
>No analog support when the game is isometric with full diagonal biases, and Dual Shock was already out the previous year
>A lot of time spent on loading screens and I used the PS1 Classics version on PS3, which only simulates load times
I dropped it after a few floors because of this. Seemed like a lot of effort went into porting it otherwise.
>>
>>12605038
huh?
>>
>>12604196
Are you a homosexual?
>>
>>12605373
I'd go further and bet furry. They probably know the name of that fur/bara gacha
>>
>>12605038
go back to /v/ you retard
>>
The saving and loading of the game and the loading of each floor are pretty long, and taking up 10 blocks is nuts.

But I like how you can just vacuum up gold and items while walking around. It works fine though I never tried much with magic during combat.
>>
>>12605038
I hope you get raped.
>>
>The devilutionx pc source port already has you covered on that front, with controller support.

Tis the way
>>
>>12605139
There are other methods, if you want to bother. They are not hard to intuit.
>>
>>12603228
its a great port
i want a mod that adds the controller support to the pc version
