Why do tropical biomes look so great on 6th gen? Feel like 5th gen did not do it well at all.

>> No.9503971

Because that was when you could get a high res skybox, proper water (transparency, moving waves, etc all going at once), enough polygons and unique objects so that you weren't just using a repeating tree texture as boundaries for a level, and you had enough system power for the little details like ambient animal noises at a high fidelity.

You're right. Something about the color palette and presentation feels very Sega for the period.

There was Chrono Cross and...yeah that's about all I can think of outside of some racing games.

this looks like Phantasy Star Online EI & II to me.
(sorry about quality)

Man, I love this game so darn much.

Racing diverts your focus away from the fact the terrain surrounding the racetrack has very little detail and wouldn't be that comfy to traverse by foot

PS: That water looks awful like shit from DOOM, inexcusable for an Arcade water racing game given both N64 and PS1 could do vertical waves and (illusion of) reflective surfaces in 96

namco's entire strategy in the 90s was to be discount Sega with a twist. Not every operator could afford sega machines, so namco made cheaper clones. That's the origin of ridge racer (daytona), time crisis (virtua cop), and tekken (virtua fighter). In the modern slang, they were "Sega at home".

Why did they fuck up the water and textures in the later versions?

Ridge Racer was made an entire year before Daytona, you fucking retard. They also made Winning Run four years before Virtua Racing too. Sega will never make history like Namco did.

>Ridge Racer was made an entire year before Daytona
They were first revealed at the same event in August 1993. Daytona was just delayed because Sega wanted to do market research before its release.
