Lmao from the level editor I remember you had to set up the mirrored rooms yourself somewhere in the map. It was tons of work

>>7349618
>FF9 briefly going up to 30fps during Madeen's summon

>16-bit game has prerendered backgrounds

>>7350738
You didn't have to build them manually, but you did have to construct a dead space behind the mirror big enough for the engine to do it. It was relatively crude as far as programming.

>>7350124
PSX dithering is wild to me because they're usually undithered 32-bit textures being fed into it. They didn't plan it but these surfaces then received a rough and grainy feeling they would never have gotten otherwise, and it feels worse if you emulate and turn that off by rendering 32 bit textures as 32 bit. A limitation devs just said "whatever" to that made their games communicate completely different, grittier environments to the audience that received them.

>>7350345
No because height is false in those games and doesn't exist for any practical purpose. Height is real in Doom, despite the rendering not being 3D polygonal.

Walk forward off a ledge and walk backwards. Did you stop because of elevation? Do you need to actually look for an alternate way to go back up now? Or did you warp back up and elevation had no effect?

>>7353575
Do NOT look at the walls while playing this game, you will get completely sick.

>16 bit game uses a transparent layer for water and fog effects.

Game on a system that pre-dates compressed audio makes clever use of samples for 'vocals' over synth music.

>>7354715
That's not "real" transparency, in case of the SNES for example. Just some simple color math.

>16 bit game uses music, animation, introduction screens and all from your favorite cartoon and also makes great use of all advantages of a 16 bit game

The chad Saturn running this at a 100% locked solid 60fps @ 708x480, and 50fps @ 704x512 in PAL - The highest resolution yet seen on a console.

Good times.

Looks cool

>8 bit game

>>7355101
Cool it's like the rendering load is light when it's a flat plane, 2 models, and fullbright wow.

>>7355423
You have no idea. Don't try to be witty or something.

>>7355423

this isn't Doom dipshit

The SS was truly the most overwhelming victory ever misinterpred as an embarrassingly miserable crushing defeat by ignorant normies.

The Sonygger cries out in pain as his power supply overheats his console.

3 sprites switch as object comes closer to screen on the z-plane.

>>7355101

FF9 had this happen a few times.
Casting Holy, Madeen, maybe during Doomsday...

>16-bit era system with a bonkers sound chip that did like 5 types of sound pretty well and nothing else has a game on it whose music was so well done and catchy it was widespread rumor that The King Of Pop worked on it even before real evidence came to light that he really did

>>7357956
You do know how rumors work, right?
