/vr/ - Retro Games

>you now imagine what Alone in the Dark would've been like had they used a darker, pleasing graphical style similar to the original Clock Tower instead of awful, cartoony primitive 3D

Early videogame 3D was generally bad. At least Resident Evil looked decent.

>>5171109
Looks just like stereotypical indie pixelshit.

Looking him squirm and sputter blood while he leaves a trail of intestines behind makes me sad for the poor sap

Where this one comes from? Toejam and Earl?

>>5171094
Save data is a part of the state. Most games use sram as save, but some use it as general purpose ram too, so not reloading and overwriting it could have problematic consequences.

You should at least know something about the platform you're emulating before complaining.

>>5171121
If troll post, +1

If serious, use any emulator. State data never writes to .srm data.

>>5171121
Not OP, but most emulators have two separate files. One for regular save data, the other for savestates. If I load a savestate it does not wipe out my regular save data, if I reset the game it will load my regular save by default. There is no reason for loading a savestate to cause a permanent loss of regular save data.

>>5171132
Correct. The amount of people online who don't realize this is staggering. Nintendo includes this tiny disclaimer in their support section online that basically says "we didn't implement this properly, you should probably only use suspend points". Incredible.

>>5170957
It's an understandable mistake, but this is not the board for that kind of "retro" (which is arguably the correct meaning of the term but still). These are modern games, and should be discussed in /v/

>>5170978
Pretty sure /v/ is abut smash and shitting on Fallout 76.

Sometimes they can be well done (Curse of the Moon felt like I was playing a brand new NES game), but sometimes it's just 32bit palette junk that tries to carry itself on having big pixels.

>>5170995
Fair enough

>>5171003
Paying for this isn't going to be getting any money to the original creators though. So it's not encouriging anyone to make anything new.

>>5171042
Being a shill makes you a shill. Sperging out when people point out it's a waste of money just makes it more obvious.

>>5171059
No one is sperging out. Only thing that is happening is a bunch of kids refusing to see reason when someone provides justification for buying something

>>5171073
You have yet to provide a good reason why anyone should pay $8 for a rom that some Sega intern downloaded off the internet.

>>5171001
In London everything is like £5 a drink, which after the exchange rate approaches $8. It’s not that dumb.

Just watch the cutscenes on youtube and don't bother playing it.

>>5170702
Don't listen to this worthless faggot.

>>5170702
kek

Contra

Cobra Triangle

Adventures of Bayou Billy.

Punch Out

>>5170572
*Punch Out!!

checkmate fool

>>5170519
Everything about the game is mediocre. Except Freya's theme is fantastic.

>>5170790
This song was the only good thing about this game

>>5170519

>Anon is deaf confirmed

>>5170519
I'm so fucking sick of these blanket, hyperbolic, general statements. Just once I wanna see an OP actually present an argument, like he demonstrates where and how this soundtrack fucked up in the basic fundamentals of music theory.

>>5170519
Yeah, FF13 is way better

>>5170457
why, because the face looks different? isn't that the cinematic when you fail to pull her towards you in the space scene? who is it supposed to be if not her?

>>5170478
no, you just get a message along the lines of "she's floated away..." and try again.
that's from when Squall is hallucinating in the void I believe.

frankly I don't think it matters. the plot is a clusterfuck and defies time traveling "physics".
the fan theories are far more cohesive. not to mention interesting.

>>5170457
It's Edea.

>>5170663
>It's Edea.
theory or gtfo

>>5170413
Who cares I’ve had an N64 for years now and the mini meme is so old already.

>>5170416
Son they even have GoldenEye.

Can't believe Rare caved.

hmmm...

>It’s not real
Would have been such a nice birthday present.

>>5170385
I don't think so. he's assuming that's all the DD could load, based on scraps.
he seems to think that Ura couldn't add any new information and only rearrange preexisting data on the cartridge, which would beat the purpose of the DD.

no need to get technical even, Ura was supposed to be the DD's big break. there are interviews stating that, at the very least, they wanted to bring back the 3D market and make changes to the environment permanent.
Ura lacks any of that. and considering Mario Artist came out in December '99, I find it odd that the team was sitting on their asses, waiting for the demise of the DD, instead of working on assets.

>>5170421
*MQ lacks any of that.

a thread had to die to make this bullshit

I bet it sounded funnier in your head.

YS 1 takes place during a single day. Adol climbs the tower during the day, and once you reach the middle of the tower, the sun sets and night comes in. Once you defeat the final boss, it's the dawn of the next day.

What's awesome is that Adol climbed the whole Darm Tower alone in a single day, while the protags of YS Origins took at least a week, and there were at least 8 people in the group.

>>5170404
Dad please, not in front of the other anonymous.

>>5170294
Gunstar Heroes I think?

>>5170294
>There is never any sunsets

>>5170294
It was assumed by the player that these games didn't take place over a single day, and we understand there were limits to implementing night and day mechanics.

>>5170676
Quit being a console warrior faggot and just make it for pc

>>5170693
There was one person who was trying to do exactly that, but his plan was to convert it to a level-by-level game like the classic Castlevanias.

>>5170280
How do you have a not "?????" version of SSF?

>>5170254
it was a bad port fag

>>5170489
That literally sounds more like a Policenauts track more than a SOTN track, fucking idiot. Why would you post something that proved me right?

Great memories of apogee games. Thanks anon
