Scanlines are mandatory for pre-6th gen systems.
>>332909958
Don't think so.
>>332909958
You are taking it a bit too far
>>332909958
>not having a CRT at hands reach
>>332909958
I can see what you're getting at. It kinda makes the screen look smoother and nicer.
>>332909958
it's just an aesthetic addition
you dont have to say i'ts mandatory
so no reason to argue here
you fucking retard
>>332910509
It's mandatory to get the correct look of a lot of classic games.
And I bet you're one of those fags that uses smoothing filters.
>>332909958
That is true.
Pixelated games look like shit without the "screendoor effect"
>>332910564
I bet you are the kind of faggot who uses scanline filters.
>>332910778
I play on a CRT.
>>332910564
>correct
It's time to play

Scanlines are cancer, just like you OP.
>>332911149
The image in the OP should be clear which is the correct way to play.

Someone who has never played on a good CRT.

Don't even try, OP. Kids on /v/ met pixel art in late 2000s with indie games so they think that developers ignored the scanlines in 90s too.
I think not all tv sets have scanlines
>>332909958
Convince me why the right one looks better than the left
Left has clear defined edges, exactly what the artist was looking at when it was being made, and dont you tell me the distortion of a monitor is what they were thinking in, metal slug was beautifully hand-crafted in every detail frame by frame, every pixel was put there with the artstyle intention
Right on the other hand has a darker image, color becomes acid and more saturated, loss of detail and blury sense of the image, I know shit's not an actual blur effect, but it makes the image smoother at a rational eye distance.
The only reason I would play with scaliness it's for aesthetic reasons, like simulating its an old monitor, for the so overrated retro style. I played consoles on small coaxial tv's and arcade machines all my life
But you dont fucking tell me it looks better
Fucking please
It's just as retarded as the people zooming all the way in on pc games just to criticize how fucking blury the fucking textures are.
>>332909958
Why did you even make this thread dude? /v/ kiddies don't give a fuck about retro vidya, let alone scanlines
>>332912062
The right image actually looks way closer to how Metal Slug 3 looks on an original Neo Geo MVS with a CRT hooked up through RGB (like most arcade machines).
Scanline filters look like shit. You either play on a CRT or you don't.
>>332909958
But I actually like seeing all the detail in the sprites
Real scanlines on a 240p CRT look good
Scanline filters are shit, don't use them
>>332912062
>dont you tell me the distortion of a monitor is what they were thinking in
But it was, look at Marco's jacket on the left versus the right. On the right it appears as one solid red color where as on the left you can clearly see pixels of varying color.
>>332909958
Hm, while scanlines do look better here I usually deactivate them because it makes games look like shit.
It's still completely different from an actual CRT.
Depends on the game I guess
There's a certain charm to playing on a CRT, but I'll never understand trying to emulate scanlines on an LCD
>>332909958
that's like saying FXAA or Blur is mandatory for 8th & 9th gen systems
it simply fucks over Image Quality and except for those one or two cases where developers did effects that depend on scanlines (for just one fucking screen like this >>332913463)
it adds nothing
and those images in this threads also have color correction on them, so its not only scanlines
>>332912062
They would have drawn the sprites on CRT monitors you fucking idiot
>>332913821
There is no color correction on these images.
>>332909958
Scanlines look like shit on your pic. It feels like I wearing those stupid glasses for sight correction (if you know what I mean). Picture is so much darker and unclean.
