There's a little 3d in it, but Valkyrie Profile fits the bill. Looks good even by today's standards.

>Arcade ports welcome.
Not really.

>>3933073

R-Types is good.

Rayman, Breath of Fire III and Breath of Fire IV. The BoF games have a bit of 3D, though.

>>3933079
How come Irem didn't release that on the Saturn? It would have been better on it.
They released Image Fight/X Multiply do I don't get whey they left R-Types out of Saturn.

>>3933086
A better question would be why didn't R-Type Leo get a home port?

Panzer Bandit

Tomba, environments are in 3D but characters and enemies are all sprite based.

Strider 2 has nice sprites for Hiryu and most of the enemies. All environments and some bosses are 3D though, and it's also really fucking short.

Goemon series, there are 4 of them on the PS1, but one is a 3D action game, the remaining three are 2D games.

>>Goemon: Shin Sedai Shūmei!
Be aware this one is part of the infamous "new gen Gomoen" series.
Uchuu Kaizoku looks great because it looks the closest to the SFC Goemons.

Gradius Gaiden. Mixture of 2d and 3d but looks like 2d. Best classic Gradius game in the series.

Castlevania Chronicles is a fine remake of the original game. I like it more than SCIV.

I'll have you know that PSX was the name of a DVD-R Playstation 2 model that only released in Japan.

All of them, you moron. The Playstation and Saturn could do traditional sprite games with one hand tied behind their back and a dick half up their drive slots.

Get this shit out my face. No one is gonna start calling this non-vidya PEE-thing a PSX all of a sudden for the sake of your autism. Original Playstation is the one and only PSX and that's final.

I'm just asking a simple question here. No need to be a dick about it.

>>3939924
Try thinking about it for three seconds. Why would people in the mid-'90s not call it the PS1?

>>3939932
Looking it up thats what it was called before there were more playstations. But why call it that now?

>>3939938
To piss off faggots such as you.

>>3939940
I came here expecting nice retro vidya talk, not an old man's /v/. Thought you were better than that.

>>3939945
Fuck off back to where you came from.

>>3939945
/vr/ has indeed seen it's better days. The problems started with "le retro" fadders who come here from time to time and ask the same questions endlessly, instead of using google, a wiki, or even the catalogue here.
And then theres just endless trolling about the dumbest shit. Like what to call the psx/ps1. Also, it's very SPECIFICALLY supposed to be called SNES and not EVER to be called "super nintendo" because that's supposedly not the name or some shit...

There's even been lots of arguments about what constitutes retro and what consoles are allowed here.
So now there's the /vr/ old fuck defense force. Not an actual group, but they may ad well make it official. Basically, they just go around giving everyone shit over nothing. Like, if you have an unpopular opinion, or admit to playing a newer game, they'll jump up your ass, ranting about you being a retro wannabe fadder and etc. Especially if you have a non standard thought about a final fantasy game.

That is /vr/ in a nutshell. Don't come here looking for anything other than fighting.

PSX is a Playstation 2 device with DVD-R capabilities that was released in limited quantities only in Japan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSX_(digital_video_recorder)

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?

>>3933065
Skullmonkeys

>>3934401
Do you call the GameCube the dolphin?
Do you call the Dreamcast the katana?
I'd guess no.
So why call the PS1 the PSX?

>>3934353
This is a good pick!
Another good one is Metal Slug X (the Japanese version because the blood wasn't censored out).

>>3940534
Why call you a respectable anon instead of dumb faggot?

Does anybody in the PAL region ever experienced an NTSC game not fitting entirely on their CRT Specifically Capcom's Jojo fighting game? I play on a modchipped console and the super meter is barely visible on the bottom of my TV. Didn't happen with any other games

It is worth to sell a moded ps1 anyway? I personally would keep it only if I get it to last over time but
I feel like it may die anytime soon when the lens break from reading reading CD-R if I keep playing it for the retro enjoyment.
In case I keep it, is there a way to burn cd-r that doesnt strees the console other than doing it at low speed? Is there like some special cd-r that last over time and is easier for the lens to read? If so I would like to make an awesome collection on those.

>>3940534

>>3933065

>>3941016

I call it PSX. I am not an asshole. I have a signed statement from a priest, two rabbis, a lawyer, and the Patriarch of the Gnostic Church himself affirming as such.

that's news to me. every playstation mag i had in the us never used psx until that one ps2 dvd thing>>3934367 came around. i even remember seeing those in stores to buy. the original playstation was just playstation until the ps2 came out and everyone i knew, even magazines called the original playstation the ps1 then.

>powerlevel shitposting

The game is bad because its controls are wonky and the design is barren, not because of /a/-tier shitposting.

I didn't know whether to post this here or in the obscure ps1 game thread.
Anyway, this is Fuuun Gokuu Ninden, a 2D platformer-action game based on Journey to the West, you control Gokuu, the monkey king, and use his magic baton to beat enemies, he also can hop on the flying cloud.
You can also play as the pig, and as the kappa.
The style of the game is pre-rendered 3D-looking graphics for the characters and enemies, and 2D for the background. It's not bad, not great either, an average, ok game.
I remember reading it was made by the guy who did the Tomba games, but can't confirm.

If the PSX had the option to increase the amount of RAM like the Saturn or N64, how much better of a 2D machine would it have been?

Like, compared to a 4MB RAM cartridge Sega Saturn for example.

>>3939972
It was always easy to trigger /vr/. Just say something from their childhood wasn't as good as they thought it was and all hell would break loose. Seems thats all it is now though

>>3948274
>If the PSX had the option to increase the amount of RAM like the Saturn or N64, how much better of a 2D machine would it have been?

i'm pretty sure the parallel port could've been used as a ram expansion port, but sony removed it on later models

the problem with 2D ps1 games was the lack of ram, the hardware is fairly capable at 2d, but games heavy on frames/animation (like neo geo's fighting games) suffer a lot

> I mean why instead of ps1?

There was only one Playstaton when it came out. This is like asking why the NES wasn't NES1, or why Genesis wasn't Genesis1.

It wasn't until PS2 became public that having a numerical delimiter had relevance. It was only called Playstation, PS, or PSX in old times.

>>3951830
Nobody used PSX though, that was an urban myth. PSX was a DVD-R capable device released only in Japan.

>>3951830
>or why Genesis wasn't Genesis1.

>>3951831
My friend circle called it that back in the day. And I do recall it being PSX on many publications, if not most where the full "Playstation" isn't written out.

I'm really suprised at the anti-PSX stuff on /vr/, as it was just a natural thing to know like NES means Nintendo, until this place. It's to the point that I'm starting to think it's the new Retron meme. That, or there's a few people who just want a reason to declare they knew of some obscure Sony japanese device.

>>3952112

>>3952271
Again, only a couple mags, during an extremely short time period and only in the US. Nobody is arguing it was AT ONE POINT called PSX since that's the official codename, the point is that calling it PSX in 2017 is retarded when there is an actual PSX and nobody uses that term anymore.

Shitty resolution, on CRT 2D looked amazing since it received all kind of softening, smoothing and sharpening effects, on monitor, not so much.

>Looks cool but I hear mixed things about it.
Then just play it and see for yourself, its not like you going to pay for it anyway and quite honestly, modern vidya industry is so shit I find myself playing old vidya which at the time received 6/10 and I still enjoy it.

Especially that at the time they docked points for visuals, now when everything looks like stylish shit you play for gameplay and visual style and graphics itself is of lesser importance.

It's an old /v/ troll that is older than this board. There always used to be one faggot autist who would start this argument in Playstation threads on /v/ as soon as anybody would use the PSX abbrevation. He has ramped his shit up since there's been a dedicated retro board though or maybe it's just more visible because of the slower moving board.

>>3952316
>and only in the US
Get fucked nigger. The pic clearly shows the term was used in Europe too and it wasn't for a short period of time, it was for the entire duration of it's lifespan and beyond.

Only after the PSone came out people started calling it the PS1 to refer to either the PSCX or PSone. That is the real wrong abbrevation though because there is no PS1. It does not exist. There is only PSX and PSone. That's the real redpill, the final destination.

>>3959569

No! No! The god of gaming, Jeff Gerstmann, said only idiots call it the PSX! Take it back! Take it back now!

>>3959580
It was impressive at the time that they could squash a PS1 into such a small space, but I was never particularly into the more curvy aesthetic it had, plus the lighter plastic doesn't look as cool IMO.

I love the PSOne as well, but the removal of the parellel port is depressing. Many cheat devices relied on it, and it's not compatible with PSIO.

I guess this is where sony tested their new concept of chopping off features and selling slims.
Same with PS2 which lost most of its tech in a slim (that said PS2 slim was actually good) and same with PS3 which turned into a fucking grill that look cheaper than chinese cnock offs.
I wish I would have money to buy another PS3 slim while they still available new and not BS superslim.

I mean puyo puyo in EU/US release got its great weeb designs replaced with sonic, just character people know.

>>3961358
Wait, really? So Robotnik's Bean Machine was really Puyo? Makes sense looking at it after the fact and I feel silly about that, but wow.

I still orgasm every time I see the sprite animations of the final boss of Dragon Quest VII. They're so fucking good.

>>3940615
This often happens with capcom titles.

I can only assume they didn't factor in overscan.

>>3961061

YES.

Oh god, yes. Cooking actually debuted in that one, you know? No more Food Sack bullshit. It runs an enhanced Tales of Destiny engine that's just the right mix between the clumsier, more ritualistic Destiny/ Phantasia SFC and the often far too frenetic Eternia battle-wise. Fully 3D world (not low-poly globe bullshit). Extra character (Suzu). I could go on and on and on.

>>3961760
Shitposters and newfags use that term to piss people off. The correct abbreviation is PS.
The PSX (ピーエスエックス Pī Esu Ekkusu?) is a Sony digital video recorder with a fully integrated PlayStation 2 video game console. It was released in Japan on December 13, 2003. Since it was designed to be a general-purpose consumer video device, it was marketed by the main Sony Corporation instead of Sony Computer Entertainment and does not carry the usual PlayStation branding. Its high cost resulted in poor sales,[2] meaning that the PSX was never released outside of Japan. This made it a commercial failure.

>>3961806
Sorry I didn't noticed I mistyped psp as ps.
I rephrase that.

>>3961707
Whats the difference between psp and psx version of those tales games and which should I pick and why if I ever decide to play it?

>>3961817

Both are good, but I prefer the PSX version. The PSP version completely redoes the art style (much as PSX redid SFC's) to be noticeably less chibi, among other things. More noticeable PSP changes are fully voiced *everything* (not just skits) and yet another new character (Rondoline Effenberg).

That last bit was a dealbreaker for me- Suzu was enough clutter as-is but with Rondoline they've basically made the bloat even worse by introducing a completely original character which they then force into a perfectly good storyline at random intervals in a clumsy attempt to give Dhaos more characterization. She also plagues the counterpart game Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X, which is a remake of the GBC game of the same name and was more than sufficient to tell the rest of Dhaos' tragic backstory without resorting to ORIGINALE CARACTER DONUT STEEL.

>>3961806

Your meme is starting to become rather tiresome.

>>3961870
What about gameplay, visual, sound changes?

>>3961883

Gameplay is generally much faster on PSP because of the updated LMBS. Maybe even too fast if you're used to the older titles.

>>3961806
At least the Retron meme was funny.

>>3961870

Maybe they added her in order to get people to buy units, since the original cast wasn't sexy. I'll admit, I am very interested to play that combat engine wide screen.

Gee fuck retronon why dont you dump on me more those game specific abbreviations when you know I haven't played it esentially forcing me to paster your post into google with adnotation "what did he meant by this?"

>>3971938
Sony never did officially, it's a gaming media / gamers thing. "PSX" was the prototype codename (and later the name of Sony's digital video recorder), calling the original PlayStation "PSX" makes as much sense as calling the Mega Drive / Genesis "Mark V".

>>3971961
Oh so it'd be like calling N64 "ultra 64"?

>>3971959

> this general purpose consumer device shit
> it was purely cancerous thinking

PS2 was the end of consoles, it had it all, it could play cds and dvds, it had and excellent game architecture...

anything else should be catered to using another device which can focus 100% on whatever its purpose is

now we have these pathetic "smart" phones that break, shatter, lockup, forget what they're doing (screen/freeze) and O/S that can actually lock you out of your own phone as if it was owned by google instead of you

Someone who put a few hours into those games and saw how awful they are. Writing, level design, and especially music is terrible in both of them. And the second one is full of bugs like gibberish lines of text instead of properly translated dialogue, missing music so entire battles are silent etc.
I get that you played it when you were 9 and it rocked your world, but they are really awful games. There are lots of other good jrpg's on the ps1.

>>3972308
>Writing, level design, and especially music is terrible
That's literally me and 98% of JRPGS iah

>>3958194
Yep, I played it plenty of times before I had internet. It's a great game but can be an utter bitch at times Kline's Dream Ice Manor

I'd say it's a good test to see who gives up too easily and who will work it out

>>3972308
Sounds like you played it on a real shitty emulator (because gibberish isn't there unless you force it) or your Playstation was faulty.
Missing music doesn't happen, unless you play a non-proper dump or the disc you used was really fucking scratched.
Not gonna say that both games are perfect but you are talking out of your ass.

>>3972391
Different anon here.

Born '82, love jRPGs, but didnt play this series until last year.

There are some beautiful scenes, but it is a fairly lackluster and nonmemorable couple games to me. It really didn't seem as good as games like Valkyrie Profile, BoF4, and the Final Fantasy's (particularly 9). Like that anon, I can't see why people hold Suikoden is such high regard. The first was really rough to play specifically.

>>3971164

Everything lauded by later gens is actually shit. I put very little stock in modern gaming opinions.

Golden Eye is still good.

>>3971979

10/10 post. Would hang out with sometime.

>>3972391

No, a high number of disc pressings for Suikoden 2 had literally all those flaws. A re-issue was attempted, but by then the damage was done.

The gibberish line is shitty JRPG localization at its worst, though- that one is squarely on Konami.

You must not have been paying attention very much. Or are lying. Or is retarded.

Many people and websites and organizations casually called the PS1 "PSX". I was very into the playstation in its day and remember all this clearly.

When the PS2 "PSX" came out I was actually confused why they would call it that

>>3951842
In America we just called Genesis Model 1 and Model 2 to tell the new bodies apart.

model 1's are vastly superior, even if they look dumb on model 2 Sega CDs and the need for the 32x clamp.

Taiyo Yuden was not a meme, but 4x burning was (except for the dark days when burn underrun protection was not a thing). Taiyo Yuden was known for extremely strict Q&A as well as their own proprietary cyanine dye blend which was said to be more resilient than most (and was certainly no worse).

Sadly, they sold their entire optical unit to CMC Magnetics several years ago. I wouldn't trust any of the new CMC-Taiyo stuff; evidently the CMC name is something of a black mark in the optical media enthusiast community on anyone who would invoke it.

>>3960007
I expected more proof than this. For all the hundreds of thousands of times it was called a PS or PS1 or PSone, only those few times you could scrounge up?

The most important fact was that Sony, in house, referred to it as the Playstation X and short hand PSX. They realized it was too edgy and childish and dropped the X for the full release. Some people even have small proof the initial X came from the system being called Sony X Nintendo (X meaning cross). So all the autistics still saying Pee Ess Cross by typing out PSX look even more autistic.

>>3989950
yeah that's why you have edgelords trying extra hard to scrounge up any "evidence" someone called it psx at some point in the past; the irony is that you can literally call it anything you want, but the fact that they need to justify it just proves how insecure they are, and that they use it as a status symbol. It's hilariously pathetic.

The image is near the max uplod limit for /vr/ and has home page examples of PSX usage for most of the primary PSX developers. PSX is shown to be a completely valid term for the Playstation 1.

That's as much spoonfeeding as you're going to get. If you want to spend the week looking at more PSX examples, go to internet archive and knock yourself.

PSX was a used moniker. You lost.

>>3939932
Not calling it PS1 != inevitably calling it PSX.

And despite the fact you got all those people telling you they called it psx and all those sources >>3960007, everyone who still calls it psx == what?
False memories? Being wrong because you are in this thread and you have anything to back your words up apart from an asspull and your memories?

>A scan of a few mags calling it psx is worth than your whiny post alone and there is more than just scan.
I'm not even that guy. But just because it's obvious why nobody would call it the PS1 at its inception doesn't mean it has to be called the PSX. There is any number of possibilities.

Tomba 2 does little to innovate from the formula that Tomba 1 established. Many of the mechanics are carried over almost exactly.

The thing is that Tomba 2 implements these mechanics in a more enjoyable way. Overall, the pacing is a lot better, and the difficulty curve is a bit more enjoyable (Not saying either are hard games, but I played both when I was like nine). The sidequests were also a little bit more memorable imo.

Tomba 2 probably ends up being the preferred for those who play it first. Tomba 1 ends up being the preferred for those who played it first.

Dungeon Shoutenkai

>>4011090
Not even close IMO.
Tombi2 become and actual 2.5 and at a times 3D platformer.
First Tomba stays 2D at all time.

First Tomba has awesome mood that has all kinds of weird woven into it.
Tomba 2 is a happy platformer with everything that made psx platformers great which is bright colours, nice mood and general aura of "everything will be all right"

Id say to play both of them because both offer something different.
