Lets talk specs
The way the sunlight looks on that picture fucks with my mind and makes me think there's actual sunlight crawling through my windowpane
Most consoles don't need glasses.
Why did the SNES have such a weak processor, considering it came out like 2-3 years after the genesis?
I just saw a trailer of the gameplay of "for honor" and I noticed that there aren't any non magical medieval fps game that I know, only ones I know are such as heretic hexen sort of, and witchaven that seems a very old game with what seems to be mythical creatures...
Do you know any other game? Maybe a doom/quake mod or something?
All medieval fantasy games will have an ample helping of magic in some way. Use of magic is always optional to the player.
Amulets and Armor comes to mind as a medieval Doom clone, since it uses the Doom engine with some custom textures and sprites.
I suggest consulting Mobygames for games of those types; for retro games search by year in ascending order, plenty since 1982.

Thief doesn't have that much magic in it
>>3011801
Yes, I think the thief series is the one I'm looking for, not a lot of fighting but not a lot of magic neither.

Why are the Screwattack members so fucking stupid?
If they're so stupid, why do you fucking watch them?
So now kids will start parroting that Saturn was an awful console, great.
What are the best retro games based on a anime?

Girlfriend of steel was actually a prettty great visual novel, played an english translation yeaaars ago. Sailor moon had some good games too, oh and dragon ball z hyper dimension.
violinist of hameln sfc
This was translated recently and it's pretty good.
Personally I still think the D-Pad is the best thing to control with.
Anolog Stick are also good, but a little too sensetive for my taste, and Touch Controls suck ass.
Anyone else feeling the same way?
No.
D-pad is great for games designed around it, so is the analog stick and so are *gasp* touch controls. Even *gasp* motion controls.
Fuck you and your shitty nostalgia.
>>3010393
Analog Stick was thought for 3D games, D-Pad for 2D
Are those the only options you know of?
Hey guys, remember Chips Challenge?

Jezz Ball was better.
Had to use passwords to beat CC. Shit was actually impossible

Are they really peddling this shit on steam? That's amazing.
Reminder that Half-Life was almost going to be one of the worst games ever made

You could make that argument with any game's alpha footage before the modern indie game scene ran that term into the ground.
>>3010213
From what I heard, Valve thought the game was sucking ass so they decide to start over. And this was way later than the version in the video.
>>3010213
Exactly.
It's not like Valve and any intention on releasing the game in this state, it doesn't look very good because it's not finished yet.
Is Sid Meier's original civ considered a good game?
Good enough to charge the atmosphere with strange gases.
>>3009997
Yes, 2 is a quantum leap though.

Original Tomb Raider, PC version or PS1 version with an emulator /vr/?
I've been wanting to play through the first game again but the last time I played it was over a decade ago on the Saturn. Which version would be better? Here are my thoughts:
> PS1 version:
- Easier to get running
- Easier to con figure for a controller
- More audio tracks
- Can play in higher resolution
- Better FMVs
PC version:
- No warping textures due to PS1's shitty z-buffer
- Unfinished Business addon
- Longer...

I thought someone ported Unfinished Business to PS1?
Anyways, the PS1 version does very well for me.
I heard that timed fire platform room doesn't even have save points in the PC version, so it that dings it a few points for me already because fuck that room.
>>3009996
PS1 version in an emulator would have savestates even if the game didn't have savepoints in that room.
Actually savestates would be pretty nice considering the original game uses save crystals so you can only save in certain spots and only once per crystal.
>>3009983
>> PS1 version:
>- Can play in higher resolution
>- Better FMVs
how come? you could select resolution and sacrifice framerate?
and there fore if emulated, you woudl have smooth frate rate and higher res?
at TR1 release ibmPCs were already superior to ps1, how did this happen
Why does nobody ever bother playing this game? It's objectively better than both its original and FE12.
>objectively
there's that word again.
>>3009965
It was either that or literally. Buzzword or not, I felt I needed to use that strong a vocabulary.
You know, I only play the localized Fire Emblems since there's a big scary back catalog and I don't know where to start.
Should I really do this one or are you just being contrarian?
With SFV now out I felt the urge to get back into the series and play 3rd Strike. Brief history: I got it like 2 years ago and hardly played it for more than like a couple days because it was too hard and I needed like 30 continues even on 1 star.
I just played it tonight not having touched it since and breezed through 1 star with no continues. I feel like an absolute beast. I played some Alpha 2 and 3 like six months ago, so a lot of that must've stuck with me. I feel like now I actually have a chance for beating this sucker on 4 stars.
So SF thread then,...

yeah, V really does suck compared to the older games
what's the best way to play third strike on pc? like what version should I play?
I absolutely fucking hate that pre-rendered 3D model bullshit which became popular towards the end of the 16-Bit era.
It makes me feel ill to even look at it.
When does /vr reckon 16-Bit graphics peaked before going down the shitter? Artistically or technically?
Artistic and technical.
I dunno, I think it looks good at the correct resolution, on a CRT display.
I still probably like traditional sprites better, but I have nothing against pre-rendered ones.
I think most people will say 2D graphics peaked on Metal Slug series.
I love the big, baroque detailed sprites and how it's animated, but sometimes I wish the color palette was broader.
Yoshi's Island would get a shout artistically.
Discuss the greatest and not so greatest games for

My favorite games for each are Megaman V, Wario Land 3, and Sonic Advance.
Virtual Boy games welcome also.
>Gameboy Advance
No
>>3009238
>Sonic Advance.
These games are the only true successors to the original Sonic games.
Please, just accept that the GBA is not retro and stop shit posting.

This was the worst thing in the universe back in the day. What are some of your retro horror stories?

Holy shit it still makes me mad thinking about that. And it happened more than once too.

Fuck, that sounds infuriating. Thankfully my parents knew a little about gaming and didn't do this to me
Who would win in a videogame face-off?
I love both Mark and Arino, but they're not /vr/.
>>3008904
>Arino
>plays only old games on his show
>Mark
>his series is called CLASSIC games room
>not retro
>>3008901
I would have to go with Mark.
Yeah he complains a lot about sucking at the games but he's not that bad, and he's pretty great at shmups. Arino takes way too long to do anything. And he'd probably take a field trip to Okinawa in the middle of playing
