/vr/ - Retro Games

Let's have a shmup thread, what are you playing?

That mix of 3D and fx inside 2D styled games is what adds these psx games an extra value over plain 2D ports and pure 3D games inmo.
Like the G Darius, Rtype delta or Philosoma.
You can see how a good shmup Einhander lacks some visual appeal for being entirely 3D where a 2D mixture would have worked better for this system. I think this was the main problem of PSX, once games went full 3D
in the limited specs of the console, they wouldb become obsolete over time even for the retro purpose. Because most of those games where great but who the fuck can deal with those disproportional pixels, uncorrected textures and draw distances nowadays?
