Was this really that impressive when it came out? it doesn't look better than Virtua Racing which came out a year earlier, and Ridge Racer released in the same month as VF anyway.

[Anonymous No.10299615]

Yeah 3D games were impressive when they were brand new.

it was overhyped untextured and ugly. motion capture 2D like Mortal Kombat were superior in everyway. or you're blind.

Too bad they hired some stuntmen who never were in a real fight for that one

[Anonymous No.10299635]

>>10299610
I remember thinking it looked really ugly when it was new. Mortal Kombat was far better looking and way more "real".

Yes.
Sony literally push the PS to be 3D after they saw the game and the rest of the industry created they own 3D fighting games.
It may have look like shit but it played miles better than many 2D fighting games.
Oddly enough Sega for whatever reason didn't made the Saturn a full 3D console even though they pretty much helped to popularize it.

Are we really doing this? You REALLY want to try to discount the influence of VF?

I'm just asking why you boomers found >>10299610 to be more impressive than pic related despite coming out in the same month and RR running at double the framerate while being fully textured

Yes, retard. And VF2 having textures was even better.

Extremely impressive. The first time i saw it i thought this looks like CRINGE. Like lego blocks duking it out. Or like they turned the Virtua Racing cars into fighting game dudes now. Utterly ridiculous Then i sat down to try it. And was immedieatly taken how well VF was executed. Brilliant sound. Impressive, lightning fast control. And the camera put you right into the center of the action. Loved it. And i still do.

Mortal Kombat looked like cheap trash. Which is the reason why capcom always rejected a crossover SF x MK title. Although midway wanted to.

[Anonymous No.10299753]

>>10299681
They found both impressive. They are different games. The first games with leaps in graphics will all be notable to people. A racing game isn't a fighting game, same as Mario 64 was also a huge leap even though there were other 3D scotformers and toontrotters out at the time. Same as both FFX and MGS were huge for their leap in tech.

True, a fighting game will always be less impressive as there's less to render, specially those early 3D ones with 2D backgrounds

[Anonymous No.10299758]

>>10299610
VF1, VF2 and VF3 each had some of the best graphics around at the time of their respective launches. They were all very impressive. VF1 might not look that great in screenshots now, but the 3d graphics were very nice, having the camera move around the players and show close-ups of their faces, not to mention the replays, was all very novel and very impressive. The animations were very good and there was a sense of realism to the fighting that was lacking from street fighter and other 2d fighters at the time.

First time we had 3D facial animation. Hell, the character animations as a whole were impressive

[Anonymous No.10299764]

>>10299756
Nobody who ever touched a titty was thinking 'that's less to render' when they saw the game the first time. Why do you waste our time with this nonsense?

Flat shaded polygons hold up better than early textured ones. What a cope. That’s why you can rerelease a Sega Model 1 game in the 2020’s and it’s still extremely appealing to look at. It’s just so “video gamey”.

RR still looks very good to this day. It all depends on art direction.

[Anonymous No.10302603]

>>10302591
I’m not saying early textured stuff looks bad at all.
I’m saying flat shaded simple polygon stuff just scales incredibly well. Look how soulful this is.

Model 2 games were still soulful.

[Anonymous No.10302758]

>>10302743
All the Sega Model series of arcade hardware was max soul. Even Model 3.
They all scale up well but I just think Model 1 scales up the best modern day, just because it’s simplicity forces a particular look.

[Anonymous No.10303464]

>>10299610
vf was huge, there was nothing else like it and for many it was the first 3d game people ever saw.

and to add more this was during the sf2 boom.
suddenly you went from endless street fighter clones to realistic 3d combat.
the leap was insane.
