The Spyro trilogy, the Crash Bandicoot games (especially considering how much effort went into making the first one look good), MGS, the later Wipeout and Ridge Racer games, Vagrant Story, and to a lesser extent Silent Hill and some of the Fromsoft games. If you just meant games that look appealing rather than technologically advanced, there is a lot of 2D/prerendered background games.

Guilty Gear is definitely up there.

[Anonymous No.10011396]

I always thought Batman and Robin on the PS1, given the limitations of the console and that it was a licenced game, had impressive graphics because it pefectly created an atmosphere fitting for Gotham City. You could see what they were aiming for even if the low draw distance was a huge disadvantage.

First off, I am "that guy" as you so crudely put it, and name is Patrick James Wallace. Second, the idea that sex is the ultimate measurement of success or a man's value is laughably naïve - society has moved well beyond this concept and it's time you do too. Lastly, I HAVE had sex with several of the Mario plushes in the picture.

Persona 2 is similar to your gif in that it's 2D sprites on 3D backgrounds. Not the most technically impressive, but it looks really good, especially because you can rotate the camera and the sprites move with it (albeit in only 4 directions).

Most PS1 games were never very technically impressive. It's a console that is mostly held up by being able to hold a large amount of textures and backgrounds rather than having any memory/CPU power.

Nightmare Creatures 2 is one of the best looking PS1 games, but its gameplay is complete ass compared to its predecessor in every way.

It doesn't look or run amazingly well but it is impressive on a technical level for PS1. The lighting effects and facial animations were quite ambitious.

No, there is nothing impressive about Omega Boost, it has no environment to eat up resources, there a very few enemies on the screen at any given time, and in that webm there are only two, with lots of sprites in stead of actual 3d rendering, no environment to cast lighting effects on or anything intensive to strain anything. So of course it runs better than fully 3d games with full environments, because it has none of that.
That's why it's not visually impressive but something like Gran Turismo and R4 that have mulitple fully 3d cars and full environment are more visually impressive.

Look for any game that doesn't have to render full 3d environments and you'll find it. You're honestly trying to compare games that use up a huge part of their rendering resources on environments to a game that mostly has a static picture as the environment or very limited 3d so it has plenty of resources to spare?

You usually don't, or its at the cost of framerate such as in FF7 battles where they run at 15fps
