Road Rash FMVs

[Anonymous No.3564418]

I have always loved Road Rash. I played the PS1 iteration of it, but it was also released on SegaCD, 3DO and PC. Not sure which came first (for this version of RR) maybe SegaCD?

Anyways, then and now my main gripe - What the FUCK is with the coloring of the FMVs? What kind of shit effect where they trying to achieve if any?

I am probably wrong, but I theorized that perhaps if it were released on the SegaCD first, maybe the color scheme was chosen to somehow mask all the digital artifacts? Shit theory but thats all I have.

Why couldn't they just leave the footage with normal colors god dammit!

Thoughts?
pic releated.

Played the crap out of the PC version as a youngin'.

Still have my original disc, plus another one when I was worried the old disc might fail.

probs trying to make it look a bit fake so it doesn't jar too much when you race.
they shoud've used the ingame engine like Road Rash 2.
I always hated FMV, it never looked like the game.

3DO had hilariously bad FMV's as well, I don't know the differences between the disk versions

Hi , OP here

AFAIK 3DO used the cinepak codec (so did Sega) but obviously at 2x CD speed, it was better quality. The Playstation AFAIK always used MPEG (proprietary form)

Only difference also for RoadRash on 3DO was the extra music video from the band PAW - which I think was also on the PC version. Playstation and Saturn only had the 1 video from Swervedriver.

this is just my opinion for video quality
PS > Saturn > 3DO

I have also played RoadRash on Saturn. For some odd reason on the Playstation version, the menu system were fucking slow, literally 1-2 sec to the next part of the menu, dunno why. Other versions were fine.

Anyways, back to video quality - I just don't understand the color scheme - I wish they left it alone - or the very least now, release the original footage without the weird coloring (yea yea I know, fat chance of that ever happening).

I don't know, but it makes for a cool music video.

> What are those early 90s design choices?
It's not like every other music video at the time was made in some kind of psychedelic style.

I think the Saturn version changes resolutions between screens. Also I think the Saturn version version has inferior chip music playing with CD music only playing in the menus

Road Rash fo da Ps1 is one of the best games I've ever played in my entire life.

How this did not make the jump to non-retro gens is beyond me.
