PSX/N64 games that have aged well graphically? - Page 3

SapientWolf · (10-18-2005, 05:59 AM)

Omega Boost (PS)

Team Buddies (PS)

Devil Dice (PS)

Team Buddies and Devil Dice look simple but they are hi-res (640*480) and run at 60 fps. They look pretty sexy in motion.

I have to give props to FFVIII, even to this day it impresses me at what they got out of Playstation, just do a summon and you know what I mean. I still pop it in from time to time and when I summoned Diablos for the first time in ages I thought, "WTF? That's PS1?!"

ooooooooooooooohhh team buddies. I just ordered this. Looks swell.

obpost: Mario 64 still looks great. Let's here it for simplicity.

looking back, I think there are lot of unique looking games for that system. sometimes the blurry textures really add to the game, in my opinion (Hybrid Heaven, i loved that game). sort of how the gritty 32 bit textures of playstation add to Metal Gear Solid or Silent Hill's enviornments.

Tobal 2 on PSX still looks great, as does the original game.

Star Fox 64 still looks good to me also

Looks stunning even now because it is so clean.

Been looking for it but it's impossible to find it at a decent price.

I remember Colony Wars looking extremely slick back then, but it's been a while.

HomerSimpson-Man · (10-18-2005, 07:44 AM)

The Dino Crisis series on PS1.

Yoshi · (10-18-2005, 07:46 AM)

Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Conkers BFD, Zelda OoT, Zelda MM, Paper Mario; what didn't age well on N64 are games with realistic style in graphics. It looks ugly most of the time.

Pretty much all the 32-bit 3D games look like ass nowadays, some of the 2D stuff of that era like Skullmonkeys and Abe's Exoddus look fantastic though. 2D is timeless, I still think Pacman looks good.

Gek54 · (10-18-2005, 08:07 AM)

jarrod · (10-18-2005, 01:37 PM)

For 3D, Tobal 2's about it really. Flat shaded, gourad shaded, high res and 60 fps polygons will probably always look good. :)

Well, it's not like that's how the game looks running on a N64, either

lyre · (10-18-2005, 04:34 PM)

Well over 100 posts and only 1 mention of

and no shots of

!!!

And I don't see any mention of

Sure it's a bit plain looking now (even a bit rough around the edges) but still good looking (and the soundtrack ... oh the soundtrack).

Add 2d game to the list

And also Raystorm, RayCrisis and Galactic Attack (all Layer Section games) to the list for games that don't look too bad now.

Himuro · (10-18-2005, 04:41 PM)

Mischief Makers is not 2d.

Yoshi · (10-18-2005, 04:48 PM)

There were two mentions of F-Zero X, when you posted your posting :(.

San Francisco Rush 2049 pushes the N64 like a motherfucker.

AndreasNystrom · (10-18-2005, 05:52 PM)

there was this game, which was a fighter game, werer you were transformed into bats, etc...

and it was in hires on hte psx. looked awesome at the time.

i never really liked my N64.. too blurry graphics, and lowpoly.. but i liked Banji kazoo

Let's not get techinical here. :p

Himuro: If that's the case, can I quote you when someone else disagrees that 2d is dead and posts Viewtiful Joe, console Klonoas (if there will be any more) and other 3d graphics games with 2d gameplay? :p

I also forgot about

the following isn't too bad to look at

:)

And I wanna throw in Tomba and Samurai Showdown 4 PSX port as well.

That shit is rare though. And I hate Viewtiful Joe. 2d being dead meaning, the graphic style, not just the gameplay style. I'd go for hi-res sprites anyday.

God that game was hideous. Just imagine what it would look like now on my HDTV.

So would I (but sprites don't, necessarily, have to be hi-res), that's why I have a DS. But nowadays, beggars can't be choosers.

Though I ask, why isn't Mischief Makers a 2d game? Because characters are made of seperate limbs that rotate for their animation? Something else? I don't see it. The characters are clearly sprite based despite prerendered. Does that also mean the Donkey Kong Country games are also not 2d games?

DieNgamers · (10-18-2005, 07:59 PM)

Nearly all rare games (DK64,BK,BT,PD,DKR etc), SM64 (it still looks good!),F-Zero GX and of course the Zelda games.

Duderz · 08:06 PM

I must be going brain dead, I'm SURE Mischief Makers was a 2D game.

Have I REALLY gone crazy?

Edit: Oh, I see what you're saying.

I was thinking sidescroller = 2D, in which case, it does not.

Oops.

Himuro · (10-18-2005, 08:12 PM)

Mischief Makers looks like a 3d game with 2d gameplay to me...it's like saying that the side scroller levels on Ratchet and Clank 3 are 2d simply because it's a side scroller platformer. Or Yoshi Story. Or Klonoa. It's called 2.5D.

Yes but the 3d on the ds is often times much less pixelated as was seen on the psx/saturn/n64

for me ds graphics are worse than n64 and psx,a lot worse on some cases

Well you must admit that Mario 64DSlooks considerably better than the original.

its looks worse to me,more polys on characters but a awfull ausence of aliasing

lyre · (10-18-2005, 08:23 PM)

When Ratchet and Clank are mainly 3d platforming? Regardless, if that's what you believe, I can't change your mind. And I never liked the '2.5D' term to begin with so I won't start with that.

Yeah, there was a side mini game in Ratchet and Clank 3 where you controlled a character oldschool platformer style.

Very good choices, especially Einhander....I want to find that, and buy it. I want it so bad.

lyre · (10-18-2005, 08:37 PM)

I was question more of how can a few levels/minigame can make catagorise the rest of Ratchet and Clank as a 2d platformer when the base of the game is 3d. That's like saying the scant few instances of 2d ball rolling makes Metroid a 2d game, or even worse the switch from 3rd person ball mode back to Samus' helmet makes Prime a 3rd person adventure.

But *shrugs*

And both versions of Mario 64 look great. Arguement over. :p

evilromero · (10-18-2005, 09:09 PM)

I definitely agree with Kirby 64. Badass little game. And still beautiful.

Himuro · (10-18-2005, 09:10 PM)

The original Paper Mario and Kirby 64 look outstanding.

Then you should just gouge your eyes out with a fork, because they obvioiusly arent working right.

HomerSimpson-Man · (10-18-2005, 11:55 PM)

Dino Crisis pics, the game used a completely 3D engine:

Add in texture filtering from playing on PS2 and it really holds up nicely.

Victrix · (10-19-2005, 12:09 AM)

Parasite Eve 2 maybe? Haven't seen it in awhile, I remember quite enjoying it though (much like DC2, both of those felt like RE4 inspirations)
