Tempo for the 32x had some fucking amazing sprites

>>3736795
That looks pretty good.

I've always wondered how much Bio-Hazard battle pushed the limit.

>>3736852
I love bosses that vaguely resemble genitals.

>>3736705
Aged better than Shenmue, ironically.

The sprites in motion look better than they do in still shots. The animation was really smooth.

>>3737075
Fucking neat. Kinda reminds me of Rachet and Clank.

>>3737079
does the Saturn version look better?

>>3737269
Completely different game and yes it does look much better.

>>3736705
Thunder Force IV-MD
Alien Soldier-MD
Gimmick!-FAMI
Vagrant Story-PS1
Soul Calibur-Dreamcast
Astal-Saturn
Yoshi's Island-SNES

>>3737352
Astal pushes the Saturn's hardware? I thought it wasn't anything more complex than something like Rayman.
On Saturn I think Virtua Fighter 2 and Panzer Dragoon Zwei are some of the best showcasing of Saturn's 3D capabilities. It was possible to get good 3D on the system, but I guess it took a lot of effort. There's an interview with the PD Zwei director and he said making Zwei was really challenging and hard.
I don't know what kind of magic AM2 used with VF2 on Saturn, it even runs at 1 extra frame than the arcade version. Only downside is the backgrounds and maybe the sound a bit, but the game itself, the animations and controls are incredible.
On 2D, Capcom exploited the Saturn, although using the extra RAM. Vampire Savior and SFA3 are incredible.

I agree on Yoshi's Island for SNES but like Capcom's 2D ports on Saturn, Yoshi's Island uses the extra help of the mario chip (I think it was called?).
For non-enhanced carts SNES games that pushed it there's most of Natsume games, especially gundam endless duel and wild guns.
DKC games also, all look stunning and no extra chip.
And of course, Pilotwings.

For N64, I'll say Wave Race 64 was outstanding, peope tend to forget about this one due to SM64 and OOT outshining everything else, but fuck, WR64 is still amazing to play and look at, despite the low poly models, the game looks great, especially the water.

>I don't know what kind of magic AM2 used with VF2 on Saturn, it even runs at 1 extra frame than the arcade version.
It also runs at a higher resolution, something like 720x480 instead of 496x384

>>3737380
I threw Astal in for shits-n-giggles. That and I like the pixel art.
Agreed on PD Zwei and VF2.

While it's not a graphically impressive game by any means, I feel Bio Metal deserves an honorable mention of sorts for being one of the very few SNES action games that can run more than 4 objects at a time without slowing down to an absolute crawl.

No Riddick?

The DC port of Half Life certainly puts the system through it's paces, though that could be the lack of optimisation for console at that point before it got canned.

As hard as it may be to believe, the original Famicom Dankey Kang port really pushed the limits of the new console when it came before developers learned so many neat programming tricks and used hardware assistance.

No mention of Gunstar Heroes?

Gunstar Heroes.

The game literally rapes the frame render output rate of the genesis in certain parts, and it's not for bad coding.

I can't be bothered to post a picture right now.

>>3736705
didn't even realize someone was working on this.

>>3737913
Alien Soldier probably pushed the Genesis even further than that game did considering the head developer claimed he intentionally made it on the Genesis just to see how far he could push the consfewjo

>>3737594
its also not using the original assets, some of the models have improved polygon count

>>3737075
I've never heard of this game, how the hell is it working on Playstation? This is magic.

>>3739529
It's seems to be a PAL exclusive. First PAL game I want to have. Too bad it's probably expensive as fuck.

>>3739545
Not really, about €10 ($10)

>>3738643
Wait so when is it out? I remember watching a video from June, the guy working on it said he was roughly halfway done.

Resident Evil 2 pushed the limits of N64 cartridges

>>3737269
Yeah, games age. What about it?

>>3741204
it doesn't

>>3741217
I'm sorry if this triggers you, anon, but games do in fact age. Not every game from your childhood has stood the test of time and there are modern-day equivalents that do the same things much better.

>>3737075
Big fan of the OST and damn, that draw distance is impressive. I'm going to play it.

>>3740824
script is done apparently and handed off to the guy that inserts the script.
expect it to be done soon or never

>>3737380
Dead or Alive looked really good on the Saturn too. It looked much higher resolution than other Saturn games.

>>3737075

>PS2 menu reference for the memory card screen

Interesting. The PS2 took a WHILE to catch on in Europe, this seems like an conscious effort to get PS2 quality on the PS1, for which they did a fucking good job honestly. Will have to play this one.

Also just noticed the website is STILL up http://www.terracon-game.com/index.html

>>3737075
7:39 when the world map pulls back was a real shock

>>3737075
Whoa! This Ayy lmao game really is beatiful. It's also very fast for a PAL game.

>>3742182
There's nothing on this guy twitter about Mizzurna. I wouldn't get my hopes up. This shit never happens.

I'm still waiting for Dōbutsu no Mori.

>>3737075
holy shit this game is something else. I will be getting a copy of this now for sure.

looks awesome

>>3744028

I'm acquainted with the dude doing the technical stuff in the Mizzurna project. He's very good as PSX hacking, but he doesn't communicate much and he tends to be quite laconic when he does. If he hasn't said anything about the project, that doesn't really mean anything.

He *probably* will finish it, although I won't be holding my breath.

I wish Mizzurna Falls gets done sometime this year... I'm pretty hyped to play it, though I didn't really enjoy Deadly Premonition which it's often compared to. I hope it's more like Shenmue than that game.

>>3742508
I'm a fucking HD sucker plen but I have to say this game looks better in the intended 240p

>>3736795
I've been trying to find out as much about Tempo but I hit a roadblock. The 32x was released in the US November '94 and the earliest prototype we have access to dates to December '94. The game shipped in Japan on March of '95. We already know a lot of 32x games seem to be Genesis leftovers and Tempo looks to be one of them. Look at this footage. The hud is different, Katy has a walking animation when she touches the ground, and the flower is different. Notice how the screen is dark is and Tempo looks depressed before hitting the flower? That behavior never made it into the 32x game but found its way into the Game Gear title instead.

Keisuke Abe's website had a workography (no longer available) that listed all the games he was involved with including a brief summary of each one. He mentioned that Super Tempo was them using all the ideas they didn't get to implement in the first game. That gives me enough info to assume they were rushed to release. It has all the signs of something that isn't exactly ready. If we pretend this had been for a Nintendo console, the Super Mario Club likely would have pressured them to add more levels or replay value but that's just my way of looking at things. Sega had testers for that sort of thing and they supposedly gave as much feedback as they could. Who knows what kind of suggestions they sent to the team?

>>3744841
I was going to put some money into his patreon, but then i noticed there have been no mizzurna updates, which is really the only thing he's doing that i'd pay for.

>>3741241
Not him, but the cartridge or disc a game comes on ages doesn't it? Of course I agree though, the game itself does not necessarily "age" persay, but is simply outperformed by games that would come later.

>>3736705

I think Vagrant Hearts on the PS1 looked close to early PS2 game.

>>3745325

Never heard of this. Seems like there is an endless number of high quality PS1 games that time has forgotten.

>>3741241
If you don't believe in linear time then you have to realize that you're in the minority. You can't expect everyone to perceive that time is an illusion.
