DS?
Please don't be Wii screenshots.Please don't be Wii screenshots.
This seriously looks worse than the Dreamcast version.
I've never heard of this "Fare Wars", so I really have no idea what system it's for...
edit: oh PSP. Well, that's not too horrible I guess.

if you blow up every PSP game on to a 12" screen, of course its gonna look ugly......just imagine those screens on a smaller 4" screen, and you should get the idea of what it looks like

Nowhere in that new preview does it say custom soundtracks. I hate you, Wario.

I imagine they no longer have Offspring licensed tunes?
I really can't imagine playing CT without it. Yay Custom Soundtracks.

Is SUMO porting this?
Because Outrun and Virtua Tennis were good ports.

Maybe you should take off those nostalgia glasses or something? It's not like the game was a looker in the first place. Complain all you want if they don't get 60fps, but the only real problem these screens have is the aliasing and that's not something Sega could fix. Well that and there's no crazy aggressive mip mapping like the DC had, so textures don't blur into nothingness 2ft in front of the car. But that's also pretty much a platform limitation.Doom_Bringer said:

If you read the Gamespot article, it says
Which explains why it looks like the Dreamcast games - it basically is the Dreamcast games.

What nostalgia glasses? Look at Wipeout Pure, look at Burnout Legends, hell even NFS most wanted looks better than this POS. This looks like a crappy PSOne game. Personally it reminds me of Driver but I think Driver on PSOne looked better

Aliasing can be fixed on low resolution displays by using FSAA. The system would need to have enough performance to afford it, however.
Aggressive mipmapping was not a limitation of the DC platform. The games which had it simply resulted from developer decision to trade-off the distance at which the textures blurred for less texture shimmer.

**** yall, this shit's gonna be hot. infrastructure better!
I actually meant that not being able to use mip mapping was a limitation of the PSP (or at least it comes with a heavy cost iirc). In terms of an authentic port I would have preferred mip mapping. And yeah, the PSP could have benefitted so much from having capable FSAA solutions.Lazy8s said:
Errr, no. We've already gone over this in the LAST thread. It looks virtually identical to the Dreamcast game. The only real differences are improved lighting in the PSP game and inferior image quality. Everything else is the same. If it is 60 fps, it will be extremely accurate.Doom_Bringer said:
No. They don't know what bands will be on the soundtrack yet, but it's bound to be a much more diverse affair (read: more than one band) over the DC versions. There's also the catch that the original Bad Reigion and Offspring tracks might not make it in ...fortunately, custom soundtracks kinda nullifies any issues there.VicAlpha said:
It'll require conversion.kaching said:
The screenshots of the DC and PSP versions in this thread show two different graphics engines that aren't "virtually identical" as to ever be mistaken for one another.
The subtler shine of the DC's cab makes for slightly different lighting but definitely not inferior.

It's different, no doubt, but the assets seem to be nearly the same. The textures in the original DC game were NOT all that good on the whole. Most of the peripheral objects were actually quite ugly. They are close enough that I can't imagine anyone screaming "bad port".Lazy8s said:
It's a shame the 222 MHz limit will probably prevent them from reaching 60 fps, though. THAT will hurt the game, no doubt.
Yeah, custom soundtracks solves that problem. If the port is decent, I wouldn't mind loading up the memstick with some Bad Religion albums and going from there.
Dreamcast version looks better than the PSP version. Don't really care what the reason is, it just looks better. I wouldn't call it a bad port but it does look like your typical PSP port, jaggies everwhere. Play PowerStone Collection on PSP & then Dreamcast.
Loading times are worse on PSP
Texture are more blurry on PSP
Jaggies on PSP
Not exactly running at 60FPS like the Dreamcast version.
I hear you can overclock your PSP or something to get thing running better but I expect Crazy Taxi on PSP to turn out pretty much like PowerStone Collection. In fact loads of PSP ports tend to suffer from those 4 things I mentioned.
