There are people who still shitpost about Playstation, how FMV is for cinematic bullshit and undermine its true value to videogames

>comparable to PD2/SF64
Must suck not getting a great on-rails shooter on your ShovelwareStation.

>>4375527
>the Sonic fapper is still mad about the Saturn vs PlayStation thread.

I still don't understand why people get so emotionally invested into hating psx. just walk away from the screen, like close your eyes.

>>4375527
Dunno man I'm enjoying Project Horned Owl, Elemental Gearbolt, Time Crisis, Omega Boost, and more

>>4375507
>Star Fox 64 instead of Sin and Punishment
You fucked up.
>>4375563
>Omega Boost
This would have been a better pick for an equivalent PSX rail shooter.

>>4375507
This is an indestructible 5th gen manji.

Sonybabbies need not apply.

>>4375570
I like S&P too, but I feel SF64 was played by more people.
I also wasn't exactly limiting myself to "rail shooters", I'm aware GITS isn't one (although the lock-on missiles remind me of Panzer Dragoon a bit)

>>4375573
Fixed

>>4375507
Starfox games are all shit.

Panzer Dragoon is aesthetic, gameplay is pretty average for a railshooter.

Ghost in the Shell is one of the best games ever made.

>Starfox games are all shit.
Hot opinion, but it's irrelevant.
>Panzer Dragoon is aesthetic, gameplay is pretty average for a railshooter.
Being able to rotate in 360 is not average, and the level design and enemy patterns, as well as bosses, are very well thought out. I'm talking about PDII.

I went on a mini-crusade a few months ago about how amazing of a game GitS PS1 is and that every anon should play it to completion. Any badmouthing of the game will re-open the floodgates.

>Omega Boost
>rail shooter
Anon, pls.

How's Vanark on PSX? Looks fun but haven't given it a go yet. Is it just a poor-man's SF64?

>>4377829
Okay

>>4377615
commies giiiiit out, this is Red-dit free board

>>4375507
ghost in the shell sucked dude. how could u put it in there with 2 awesome games..

>>4378263
How does it suck? It's a pretty great game.

>>4375521


sure right, how else could you sell a game not about ghost in the shell unless you had an anime opening and cut scenes to somehow tie the completely unrelated game play to the movie?

>>4378276
yes, lovely FMV. now lets fastforward to the actual gameplay.

yea...there u go, thats the ENTIRE game. driving around shooting shit in a bland boring landscape

>>4378287
While it's true that a game based on a franchise like GITS on Playstation must have an obligatory FMV, and the movie was the main thing western people knew about, this game is actually not based or tied to the movie. The cutscenes were made using Shirow's original manga designs. And as to "completely unrelated game play", well, I'd say this game has a pretty unique control, and it actually feels good to maneuver the Fuchikoma. It does a good job at making me feel like I'm in the GITS world inside a Fuchikoma, fighting invisible-cloaked mechs on the top of a skycraper at night. It nails the GITS atmosphere with admittedly simple graphics, but genuinely good gameplay and game design. They tried to recreate the Fuchikoma controls witht he Tachikoma in one of the PS2 or PSP games, but it just wasn't as good.
The soundtrack is also A+, and the FMVs are just the cherry on the top.

>muhh FMV
God I hate Sonyggers.

>>4378298
Sorry I meant to post this webm.
>driving around shooting shit in a bland boring landscape
Boring landscape maybe, but the shooting shit is fun as fuck man.

>>4378320
sonyggers are too busy fapping to FFVII and MGS. I'm just a guy who likes the vidya.

>>4378320
Did you mean 3DOgs?

>>4378298
Are you actually implying that either Star Fox or Panzer Dragoon have less bland background?

>>4378664
I'm the guy defending GITS, but yeah stage scenery and level of detail is higher on SF and PD compared to GITS; but GITS still gets the atmosphere right, it's more minimalistic but it works.

>>4375527
>Omega Boost, Vanark, Edge of Skyhigh, Gamera 2000, Silent Iron and Night Striker
+
>Elemental Gearbolt, Time Crisis, Project Horned Owl, Ghoul Panic, Moorhen and Point Blank

>>4375507
GITS have bad graphic, bad color but it have 60f/s, cool control, grate camera angle, very fun boss fight.

>>4381372
And very unique to this very day. Weird that not even indies tried to rip it off.

>>4383052
Some guys who were called Cavia Inc, who developed the PS2 GITS SAC game, tried to imitate the PS1 game with the tachikoma level, but it didn't work out as good.

I can't refute it.

>>4381372
It got widescreen, which is really cool.

>>4377703
How about the GitS manga?

>>4387349
wuth about it

>>4378298
That level looks sick as hell I want to climb around on all that shit
