is there a list with 3D games running at 60fps for fifth gen consoles? if not, can you recall them? on the top of my head I recall F-Zero X, the Tekkens, IS: Internal Section but not many more... I didn't have a Saturn so I can't tell about it. Can you help me? I'm interested in trying them

F-Zero X is the best game on the N64
Einhander is the best game on the PS1
5th gen is worse than 3rd and 4th.
>>3179256
That list doesn't even have Dynamite Deka / Die Hard Arcade listed under the Saturn. Dropped.

Is Night Dive Studios the publisher /vr/ deserves?
They've been publishing a bunch of great retro games, some popular, some more obscure, and bringing them to Steam, usually with some updates and trading cards. A few they've done so far are
>System Shock 1 & 2
>Turok 1 (and probably 2 eventually)
>I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream
>Strife
>Shadow Man
>Sword of the...

When you see the roster of shit they've brought to Steam, it's certainly hard to say otherwise. They seem like a standup group of gents!
>>3173165
I'm addicted as shit to Covert Action. It's been a while since a game made me skip work just to stay home and play. I was really excited to replay turok at 60fps with no fog too. Yea, Night Dive is badass.
>>3173176
I first checked them out when I saw they brought Turok to Steam, noticed they had a few other games I really like but had bought on gog already, and decided to try two that I hadn't played before (Strife and Harvester). Both games were great, especially Strife. Going to get a few more of their cheaper games while the sale is up and snag System Shock too. Turok I'm still waiting on a bigger price cut for, I ain't paying more than 5 bucks for something I played on my N64 2 decades ago.

Oh man Jackal is awesome. I don't see it get nearly enough love.
Is Unreal 1/2 worth playing nowadays? No one ever talks about these
Unreal 1, definitely. Return to Na Pali... maybe. Kind of a mediocre expansion.
2? No. Just fucking ignore 2. It was goddamn awful.
I'm assuming you haven't played them before?
If you have, why are you asking us if they're worth playing?
2 has the gall to be worse than halo.
Post great Japanese games that will never get translations or rereleases.
>>3138118
It's not that great, honestly.
Megaten games that actually deserve a translation are If... and Devil Summoner.

Funny enough, I would translate this but I don't know how to hack and insert the text. Hook me up and maybe something will get underway.

I like all kinds of shmucks.
if the deal with sony hadn't fallen through and they weren't delegated to a non-game console, do you think the CD-i zeldas could have been good?
>ALTTP with loading times and anime cutscenes
maybe
You've got to be kidding.
>>3179538
thing is, the cd-i games are a direct result of nintendo handing the IP's over to philips after their deal with sony went wayside.
If things went ok with sony, the end result would have in no way resembled the youtube poop fuel we ended up with.
Has anyone here bought/used this (PS-IO)?
- Does it live upto the hype?
- Is it worth the high cost? (150AUD = 143CAD, still pricey)
- Easier to physically mod a smaller portion of your system (Switch Board Kit) versus a larger modchip?
It's truly tempting, and I do believe nothing like it (PS1 FLASHcart) has come out before, so it's a "part" of a flashcart collection that'd be missing, but I'm not sure it's really worth the cost.

I'm sure you can find something better to spend your money on
They're not available yet. Only preorder/beta got it.
Read the forum.
There are a few shitty bugs from what I remember reading.
Some compatibility problems too.

In relation to this unit, or in general?
Why don't you suggest me some better things then, but you are correct.
Footage of cancelled Akira Genesis/SNES game - Intro and gameplay

>>3173675
Looks awful.
>>3173675
Cool to finally see what it played like.
Also kinda glad it got canceled because if this is the best they had to show for ces it probably wouldn't have been very good.
Post retro games that you loved to get lost in, and could play for hours, make almost no progress, just wander around, and not even know what happened.
You posted it. Shout outs to Wet Dry World. I used to play on that level just to dick around as if it was a playground.
I also fired up Bob-Omb Battlefield just to surf around on a turtle shell. Almost a proto Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, if you will.
Hey that's every game ever made if you play it shitfaced drunk.
Let's talk about one of the best sci-fi RPG series out there, /vr/.

That video's really sad.
Are we allowed to talk about episodes 2 and 4?
>>3168284
Seeing as Ep2-4 run on the PSO engine, why not.
Well, why /vr/?
Because underage don't know PSX was the name used in the first year of PS1
>>3163851
Playstation X was a codename and it stuck. Deal with it, you fucking muzzie.
I have no idea, but this "thing" started elsewhere many years ago.
My main suspect would be PS1 ISO sharing websites. They are bare-minimum venues for piracy that couldn't care less about proper terminology.
Whatever, that's my 0.02.
