/vr/ - Retro Games

I rented this game enough times to just fucking buy it. I was kind of a retard.

>>10167092
because nobody could decide on whether his name is pronounced Rye-Star, Ree-Star, or Wrist-ar.

>>10167092
It was an attempt to salvage failed concept ideas from what became Sonic, and they failed for a reason.

>>10167092
Grabbing shit sucked. Mischief Makers did it better.

>>10167117
Considering his defining character/gameplay trait is his wrists, I'd go with Wristar.

The ocean level is kino and I still listen to the track sometimes.

>>10167132
>Mischief Makers did it better.
Nah. Too many shitty gimmicks ruined that game, not to mention the puke-inducing aesthetics and ear-grating bgm/sfx.

Funny how Mischief Makers is like a bargain bin ripoff of 2 Mega Drive classics though, Ristar and Rocket Knight Adventures.

>>10167173
Shut up

>>10167117
His name is pronounced Rye-Star.

>>10167173
wrong + you're retarded

>>10167092
Because Treasure kicked their asses with Mischief Makers, until Enix took full ownership of the IP

>>10168034
>Because Treasure kicked their asses with Mischief Makers

Treasuretards unironically believe this, lmao

>>10167173
>>10168059
Treasure really jumped the shark when they moved to the God forsaken N64. What a sad downfall for the producer of some of the finest Mega Drive games.

>>10167097
I’ve been there

Who said they were ashamed of it?

>no fully 3D Ristar 2 for the Sega Saturn to one-up Super Mario 64
It still hurts.
Instead, we get a faggot flying clown game.

>>10168152
I'd rather a 3D Alex the Kid game for saturn.

>>10168214
Alex Kidd was unironically never good

>>10167092
Its just not a great game. Playable but the grab mechanic kills it.

>>10167125
>>10167132
>>10168230
>gotta go fast

>>10167092
I think it's less that they are ashamed of it and more that there's no real interest at Sega to make a sequel.

>>10167092
Reality check: ristar is mediocre as fuck.

>>10167156
But it's not his wrists, it's his arms. Derp.

Dumb thread

>>10167092
Ristar was caught with an underaged girl at a hotel in 1998.

>>10167173
We're purely talking about grabbing shit. MM did it better.

>>10168535
you can't even swing when you grab stuff in MM, so no

>>10167974
It better be. Because if it isn’t, I’m gonna seriously have a bad day.

>>10168819
it's officially REE-star, because nips

>>10168152
Judging from how many people have issues with pretty basic grabbing concept in 2d, I can't imagine how that would work in *early* 3D. The same early 3D on which many 2d series and developers have tripped.

Shit, people still can't accept 3D Sonic. Grabbing stuff in all directions could've been painful. If anything, Ristar needs a 2.5D approach, sorta like Castle of Illusion remake or recent Kirby games.

>>10168828
You’ve ruined my day.

>>10167974

tfw you're not english-speaking kid and just read shit like it's written

> Ree-star
> Resku-e
> Boor-ning Rah-ngers
> Dusk Tah-les
> Keer-bie

and you still do it for old memory's sake 30 years later even if you know the correct pronunciation now

>>10168813
>wing when you grab stuff in MM, so no
Have you played either game? And roms don't count.

>>10168241
And that's the reason.

>>10168420
Dumb post

So this game was made by Sonic people? Did the character have any cameos in Sonic games, or are they legit ashamed of it?

>In the early 1990s, Sega asked its development teams to create a mascot to rival Nintendo's Mario.[12] One proposed character had long rabbit-like ears which could extend and pick up objects, but this was discarded as too complex[5] The team moved on to animals that could roll into a ball, and settled on Sonic the Hedgehog.[12][13] Some years later, Sega developed another prototype, Feel,[14][15] with a character that used its arms to pick things up instead of ears,[16] which became Ristar.[17]

That Feel

>>10169013
>Ristar, as a character, has only made a few minor cameo appearances outside of his two original games in 1995. In Sega's two Shenmue games for the Dreamcast, Shenmue and Shenmue II, the player can choose to spend money to purchase a randomly selected collectible 'Gachapons' (capsule toys) from a machine; one of the possibilities in both games is a Ristar figurine.[53][54] He also briefly appeared in the introductory video of the 2001 Japan-only Dreamcast game Segagaga.[55] Ristar did not make any more appearances until 2010, where he makes a cameo appearance in a downloadable track for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing due to the high demand for him to be in the game.[56] He also made an appearance as a flagman in the sequel, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, in 2012.[57] In 2012, Ristar was cited by GameSpot as one of the examples of lost video games from the 1990s that deserved to return.[58]

>>10167092
it's not that they're ashamed
it's that they don't see reviving the IP beyond cameos as profitable and decided to instead piss their money away on HYENAS

>>10168997
>Did the character have any cameos in Sonic games

Only one, appears in Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed
made by Sumo Digital

>>10169017
>piss their money away on HYENAS

Shit, man.
I remember when they posted a teaser with sound sample of unknown animal and people went crazy thinking it's dolphin noises (from a possible Ecco reboot). Then, next day... HyEnAs

That was the biggest segaroll in a while. They never fail to fail our expectations.

>>10169017
>>10169041
>HYENAS

What a disgusting looking game.

I now need to undergo kidney dialysis.

Mr Rister the Sister Fister

>>10168059
Why do 2D N64 games look like shit

>>10169017
Sonic Unleashed werehog stages was basically the ristar reboot anyways

>>10167117
>>10167156
>>10167974
>>10168819
its ree-star
>リスター

>>10167092
Are they ashamed? Either way it's a top tier 4th gen platformer.

>>10167160
>ocean level is kino
One of the few games with a good water level

>>10168847
probably like chameleon twist but without the tongue

>>10168059
>>10167173
Your average Rishit fan here.
Mischief Makers did it better Aussy.

>>10167092
sega is a jewish founded company
Taito is the same

is the game gear version any good?

>>10169657
Because the N64 is a piece of shit that is equally bad at doing blurred, mushy 2D as it is at 3D.

>>10170382
And?

>>10170350
>Richad vs. Misshit Makers
>no shitty lolsorandum gimmicks in the levels vs. shitty lolsorandum gimmicks galore
>better grab implementation: arm-swinging is more fun than anything Marina can do
>beautiful 2D spritework vs. buttfucking ugly CG renders
>beautiful FM Synth soundtrack vs. cacophonous MIDI soundtrack
>non-weebshit character designs vs. weebshit character designs that are only appealing to tumblrtrannies

Sorry Nincel, but Ristar is the winner.
Fuck off with your Trashurejank.

>>10169657
weird scaling, bilinear filters and often a lot of incompetence in how to properly figure on good visuals for a 3D-oriented system. just look at Mortal Kombat Trilogy, which is fugly as hell because the devs didn't care for consistency and it makes it look like a sloppy fan project.

Videogames were invented by a jew.

Time to kill yourself like your leader did, nazi scum.

>>10169657
>>10170481
Yeah, the N64 was also notorious for how small texture sizes usually were.

If you were to mod the N64 to remove anti-aliasing and texture filtering, or emulate with something that gives you texture filtering options like nearest neighbour, Mischief Makers would probably look a lot better where everything is using pre-rendered sprites.

https://consolemods.org/wiki/N64:N64blur

Someone made gameplay footage of this in effect, and it actually does look a lot better.

Mischief Makers is one of those games that has never had any kind of re-release and might not ever, due to it being published by Enix (now Square Enix). If anything, there's a small hope it gets made available on Nintendo Switch Online's N64 expansion pack service, but that's likely gonna be made to look "authentic" to the original N64 release and blurry as shit.

>>10170410
Biggest zoomer revisionist meme that no one complained about back in the day. PS1 looked just as blurry through composite which everyone used

>>10170571
Dumbass. PS1 was crisper even with composite, but suffered imprecise vertexes and heavy dithering on many 3D titles. N64 was always the more visually stable system, but was suffering from weirdness even back then with its rare 2D games as nothing was sharp, and there was bilinear filtering for everything.

Sure, no kids knew the terms, and they weren't gonna be reading internet articles or magazines telling them what it was, but as someone who had both, there was always a distinction between the two, between the sharp pixels of Metal Gear Solid and the soft look of Ocarina of Time.

>>10169657
n64 has built in AA (the vaseline filter)
you can use a gameshark to turn it off, some games look better (goldeneye) while others look horrible (ocarina)

>>10170571
That fact isn't lost on me, plus that old CRTs don't display dots like on an aligned grid like modern displays.

It's because that modern displays can display raw output so cleanly that people look into enhancements.

>>10167092
poor man's Mischief Makers

Marina
>gets to be in a high quality Smash romhack
>entire showcase is a tribute to the game
Rishart
>was featured in some crappy game maker fan game years before modding trivialized development
>essentially another Sonic OC pick

Ristar was never good.

>>10170546
>Higinbotham was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and grew up in Caledonia, New York. His father was a minister in the Presbyterian Church.
Will kikes ever stop taking credit for Protestant achievements?

>>10170925

The cheap RGB mod and AA removing patches make N64 games look crisp and run smoother on original hardware and is totally worth it.

>>10170560
>Random black spots on the trees
This doesn't look better.

>>10169661
this, it's pretty much identical to how ristar would play if he was brought back.

>>10170480
This is retarded. I played Ristar the first time on Mega Collection for gamecube. You've been assimilated
