yes, it's my favourite. Looks great with skygfx and widescreen fix.

If we can have a Max Payne thread, why not GTA 3? They both came out in 2001.

you can't discuss 6th gen properly on /v/, since it's full of Minecraft and Fortnite kids.

What I like about 3 is the atmosphere, its a really weird mix of gritty and goofy. Unlike latter Gta games its not trying to emulate a certain film or anything.

3 is probably my favorite because it keeps the almost arcadey feel of the retro titles with the generic mobster/triad/gangster story stuff going on.

Nobody I know has ever played this and even the biggest /v/ hipsters have never heard of it. Was a fun Tomb Raider clone.

To be honest /vr/ is overruned by 20 somethings talking about shit they barely know anything about, shitposting and spamming unfunny ebin memes and 6th gen probably wouldn't make it much worse. Thank you for ruining a perfectly comfy board you fucking assholes.

I know it's not retro but there is this really weird but cool period of early xbox where we got all these Sega ports and original exclusives that never had any sequels and I loved it.

I guess it is a curse of a guy in his early thirties. There are a fuckton of games from 2000-2003 period that I love and want to talk about, but they are not "retro" enough for /vr/ and too old for the kids at /v/.Most of those fuckers didn't know how to walk and spell their names when those games were released. It's this weird videogame period limbo. And I would love to talk about Severance, Max Payne, Jade Empire, Etherlords, Spellforce or even Gothic.

Wait, so you complained about people who bring up mainstream 6th gen games and then complain when someone mentions a relatively unheard of game?

Is this Stubbs? This one at least was released on PC. Galleon, Spikeout Battle Street, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Blinx, Conker Live & Reloaded, Dino Crisis 3 are stuck on the box forever.
I'm surprised that Voodoo Vince got a remastered Steam version.

why does Tekken 4 feel so much better than 5 despite being panned to shit?
Everyone and their mother praises 5, but personally for me, that's the installment where they went full retard anime for the story and character proportions.
T3/T is the best.

Better map, for one.
Also why the fuck did Vice City have even goofier character animation, what happened.
I literally laughed the first time I saw the game with Tommy sprinting across the map at 200mph, arms flailing wildly. It was just like look at this Gumby motherfucker go.
It was the first 3D GTA game I ever saw in action, and I couldn't believe the media at the time was freaking out over the content of something so obviously goofy.

I'm aware. I just don't get why they changed some of the things they did. Movement speed and animations, mainly.

they're early titles nonetheless. The earliest I remember getting were Airblade, Klonoa 2, and Dark Cloud.

because VC was the first one with bone animations. III is animated the same way as Mario64.

looks like shit when contrasted with low poly geometry and low res peds. Even with the xbox assets, their original textures are 128x128 and they consist of around 100-200 tris IIRC.
