Why is this allowed ?
That's console gaming for you.
>>339639952
But that doesn't even remotely look like he same location
Because real time rendering is expensive while video playback is cheap.
>>339640131
because it isn't you dork. one is obviously a floating island of some sort and the other a much smaller temple/stonehenge kinda thing. what led you to believe they're related?
>>339640145
>>339639952
Missed the point
>>339639239
The Master Emerald shrine is just a small part of the whole Angel Island.
>>339640963
The fuck do you want me to say? There exists no governmental agency that has written laws about or will enforce said laws about video game design and there exists no punishment for doing things in a perceived right or wrong manner? Or should I just call you a faggot?
>>339639239
i dont see a problem
>>339640375
fuck man, thats some good b8, seriously.
>>339639952
This has been happening on PC games probably before you were even born
Go away
Because fucking Squaresoft wanted their fucking movie games.
Thanks for starting the downfall of the industry you fucking japs.
>>339641236
The point isn't the graphical quality dumbass, it's that they're supposed to be the same place and they're completely different looking
>>339639239
The cutscene is probably old material they didn't want to waste so they used it even if doesn't fit in the game anymore.
>>339641662
>implying Square started FMVs/prerendered backgrounds
Also you missed the point
>>339639239
Because people bought PS1 and PS2 games in the billions based just on FMV trailers. And still do.
>>339642540
Missed the point
>>339642540
to be fair XII still looked beautiful out of cutscene
>>339641669
The cutscene is the entire island.
The in game spot is just an altar in one part of the island.
>>339639239
Because this was on the Dreamcast where that shit was fucking incredible.
>>339642663
>you missed the point
No I didn't. Stuff you see in cutscenes are not featured in the main game. This is the same wither you're talking about gameplay mechanics or graphics.
>>339639952
fpbp
>>339642794
It doesn't make sense since the island falls when the emerald breaks in the opening of the game but already they have a railroad built leading to it
>>339642794
Play the game again
>>339643348
>but already they have a railroad built leading to it
No they don't. Only the areas where you enter Ice Cap and Red Mountain are a part of the island in that cutscene. The area you're talking about was already there before the island fell.
>>339643643
That anon's right, though.
>>339643678
The island didn't fall on anything besides the ocean in the cutscene though
Red circle is Angel Island
>>339641110
No
>>339644156
No
>>339642794
No
They just had no reason to model the entire island. End of story
Angel Island is fucking huge and contains a desert, a tundra, forests, etc.
>>339644156
yeah, we know. Op is just trying to get (you)
What that other Anon isn't understanding is that the bridge is apart of Angel Island, and leads to the shrine, It fell with Angel island.
>>339643889
I didn't imply that it did. The Mystic Ruins is already located on a cliffside, with the island landing right next to it. That cave you enter to reach Ice Cap is actually a hole in the side of the island itself.
If you speak to one of the archaeologists at the beginning of the game they mention how that seemingly large wall of stone just appeared out of nowhere.
>>339644510
That still doesn't make sense since the island didn't fall anywhere close to land, so did it float to the mystic ruins
>>339644386
>Angel Island is fucking huge
Yes, it is. That's why two different levels from the game take place on it.
>>339644510
>so did it float to the mystic ruins
Sure. It floated along the top of the ocean when it fell in Sonic 3, so that would make the most sense considering how close it was to the Mystic Ruins already when it fell.
This is a joke thread right
>>339645091
meant for
>>339644769
Consoles
>>339646138
You are not too familiar with PC gaming
Goddamnit. Those fucking SJWs..
>>339639239
That's just a section of Angel Island. I can't quite remember but I'm pretty sure there's a certain point on the adventure field where its pretty obvious you're stepping onto Angel Island after it's fallen.
>>339642794
Angel Island is not just the shrine, you even go to the Ice Cap Zone from Sonic 3 in SA1 and a new zone in the island called Red Mountain
