NiGHTS has good textures and standard character-models, but it suffers from severe pop-in.

It was not. Saturn was a total 3D hardware beast. With only the model 2 board above it. And since the saturn video processors were based on the model 2 texture engine, there is no texture warping,

Back then kids would swear the PSX was so much better. People still repeat that mantra like indoctrinated parrots.

Draw distance is too close. Not that it matters since the game is on rails.

>>4328945
the draw distance straight ahead into the screen is really fucking close
but the fact that saves NiGHTS is that it's a side-view game anyway, it has no real reason to draw that far in the Z axis

>>4328749
as someone developing a Saturn game right fucking now: you're retarded.
>Saturn doesn't do T&L in hardware (yes, there's the SCU-DSP that you could program to do it, no, most games don't bother with it, Sega's own docs say something along the lines of "if it takes an hour to write in assembly, it'll take the whole fucking day to write it for the DSP")
>VDP1 shits the fucking bed really quickly and just stops drawing shit after there's barely fuck-all on the screen
>Saturn has plenty texture warping since quads are not perspective correct.
>Only the Mode-7 style rotating background can be drawn perspective correct in hardware.
>VRAM is super tight if you're not using VDP2 paletted sprites... but if you are, you can't do gouraud shading properly.
>due to laziness when designing VDP1, its 50% blend/shadow mode is slightly broken... but due to incompetence when designing the machine, it doesn't affect VDP2 backgrounds
>really, everything related to transparency on the machine is fucked if you're doing anything more than transparent background layers
>VDP1 has fuck-all to do with the Model 2 (which is a shame), it's far more similar to the systems used in the System 32 board but it's still an overall original design

it shit all over everything at home but the PS1 in 1994, but the competition beyond that was the fucking Jaguar and 3DO
it's not as hopeless as a lot of earlier games lead you to believe (also, there's really few 3D Saturn games, and a lot of the direct comparisons are of somewhat poor ports), but it's still a total uphill battle
the one Saturn game that looks properly competitive graphically against the PS1 is fucking Sonic R, but Traveller's Tales were a bunch of demosceners anyway IIRC
