Art direction? I always liked the art direction of the Goemon games a lot. Anyway we were talking about 3D capabilities.
To be honest, I think Vagrant Story's art direction to be kinda overrated. Yes they did some cool tricks with the textures, but it's all so brown... I dunno, maybe it's just me.
Megaman Legends 1 was on N64.

No, many N64 games did often have lower resolution textures. The best games like Conker though had better texturing than anything on PS1.

>>5455294
Art directions is a bit of a subjective thing, but yeah I’ll agree that they were often better on PS1. But that’s purely a result of how N64 had very few Japanese developed titles.

The other thing is that because PS1 had so many games, it’s easier to go through the library and cherrypick the games which had good art direction.

>>5455460
Sure but the same could be said for many PS1. Look outside of the top games, and your typical game for the machine is a warpy pixelated low framerate mess, arguably much less appealing to look at and play than N64 jank.

Of you genuenly believe that, then I feel sorry for you.

PS1 has more games of individual genres than N64 or Saturn have games, period. More genres, more experimemtation and innovation happened in the PS1 library amd 9 out of 10 games that were either genre defining or generation definjng were either playstation exclusive, or were ported from it.

Is it arguably the worst hardware of the 3? Sure, in certain technical ways. But it was the middle ground between it's competition, and it attracted devs like honey attracts bears.

I would take a PS1 and 100 games over the same deal with either competitor, because I'd have more variety and more genuenly great games. And I don't think Saturn actually had 100 good games, to be frank...

Would it be possible to 100% accurately recreate those smooth PS1 CGI cutscene models with modern-day 3D software? Achieving the exact kind of look human models in Resident Evil and Silent Hill had?
https://youtu.be/-mNFSysXkvw?t=244

I don't know anything about 3D modelling, but I get the feeling that creating your own models and just lowering the amount of polygons wouldn't cut it, meaning you'd have to intentionally put a lot of effort into imitating old models, working with references and everything.
What I'm trying to get at though is that old CGI models from Capcom and Konami games for example all had that same kind of unique style to them, meaning it has to be a -> natural and automatic trait <- of the way or software people used to create models in back then, rather than manually working to achieve that effect.
Am I making sense to anyone?

So if that is true, then my thinking now is that with modern software, that natural trait has completely disappeared due to the advanced technology. Unless of course it is possible to obtain the exact same software people used to use back then?

Those late-90s/early-2000s 3D can be achieved if you disable all of the new features such as ambient-occlusion, global-illumination, etc. Do not use any PBR materials.

Those models were done ages before digital 3D sculpting was even a thing. Learn Box model and exploit the subsurf modifier, do not touch any sculpting tool. I'm not sure about nip-specific stuff try looking at model rips from an early 2000's game.

The textures. When displayed on a high-fidelity screen, and especially when rendered at a high-fidelity resolution, the smeared-out, low-res textures of the N64 often don't look good. At their original resolutions, though, I really don't think the PS1's increased storage for textures makes as big of a difference.

textures have near 0 impact on frame rate, if the texture is loadable, it plays as good loaded as one that is smaller would play, so in my case of playability, n64 ruined the game due to aa, a process intensive effect, while ps1 played so much better because it lacked that bullshit.

The sadly final game by Human Entertainment, also was the best wrestling game not just on the system but of the whole era. From the graphics to the many many animation and the well-thought-out and complex gameplay (timing based just like Fire Pro Wrestling from the same devs). It also has the best roster with lots of true legend either as in-game characters or templates.

I also liked the spiritual successor King of Colosseum (which used the same game engine on PS2), which despite looking rather dated even when released (again it uses the PS1 engine and look and play very similar), IMO again was the best wrestling game of the next era after the PS1.

Too bad, despite Fire Pro Wrestling Word, the genre is dead now... killed by Yuke's and the shitty WWE games.

Like every franchise dies. Endless repetition, annual releases with only minor changes, lazy programming with outdated tech and also added micro transactions or the madness with different roster for different preorders. And on top of that Yuke's didn't make any progress or even acknowledged what other devs did better.

But it's all too late now, there isn't any competition anymore. Only those damn Yuke's WWE games year after year, that I stopped buying altogether during the PS2 era. Yuke's did some fine games too but this was a long while ago. I especially think about Toukon Retsuden, which also was the base for the first Smackdown games (well there were some more stages to that mainly the intermediate game between Toukon and Smackdown - the budget games of Simple 1500 Series The Pro Wrestling, which already toned down the gameplay). But later they took out everything from Toukon Retsuden what made these games special. Smackdown just had beefed up graphics but "arcady" and hollow gameplay.

Any tips on figuring out the timing for this game? As far as I can tell when playing against the CPU grapples are won at random. So it basically becomes a grappling contest. Also how do you reduce the stamina running out which renders your wrestler immobile?

The timing depends on the typ of grapple you were initiating. Rule of the thump: look for the animation when your wrestler slightly bends his knees to gain momentum, that's the right moment. But again the timing is lightly different with the various grapple types. Just like Fire Pro Wrestling the best method of learning the timing is by selecting Player vs. Player mode and practicing on a defenseless fighter. But I'm not sure if the game already had a tutorial mode.

Also (again just like in Fire Pro Wrestling) you have to breath now and then to avoid running out of stamina quickly. But I'm not sure, which button does this, since I haven't played the game for a while. There are a couple of Guides at GameFAQs
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/575248-zen-nippon-pro-wrestling-ouja-no-kon/faqs

AFAIK in the later games using this engine (King of Colosseum) breathing was one of the shoulder buttons, probably L2 or R2.

Nah not really. They were adequate at best, especially the PS2 games predating the time when they renamed the series to "Smackdown vs. Raw." were still playable. But the first game of the series with the name "SD vs RAW" was also the last game of that series that I played, because even back then I saw that those games went nowhere. And it got even worse since. The SD vs. RAW games are only good for a quick laugh to create some silly edits and punch each other in multiplayer mode. When SD vs. Raw game out I didn't even bother to unlock shit like I did before.

But you can't say that I didn't give Yuke's a chance. Some people suggested that "Day of Reckoning" and the two Wrestle Kingdom PS2 games that used the same engine as DoR, were better than their usual crap and I fell for it. Some even compared it's gameplay mechanics to Virtual Pro Wrestling/WWE No Mercy, which I call bullshit. Day of Reckoning 2 had loading times from hell and I didn't find the gameplay exiting at all. It felt more like a simple Beat'em'up to me. Wrestle Kingdom only improved slightly but the loading times were equally horrible and the edit mode was pure garbage. Wrestle Kingdom 2 has a kick ass roster with lots of true legends, but I didn't bother importing the game, since that DoR Engine and all it's games are just as lazy as Smackdown/SD vs.Raw/WWE 2Kxx. After all these years the WWE should fire Yuke's (or drop the license deal) for good and start completely new with a new dev team. Yuke's are done.
