Episode 370 - This time let's focus on games that push 16-bit hardware by using polygons to try to make true 3D games! 3D gaming has sure come a long way since then, but these games are fun to look back on. We'll even check out some that use enhancement chips for their 3D because why not?

@dan_loup Год назад

@@tribemaster101 i'm pretty sure you're just having a laugh, but tearing is actually dependent on which WM you're using and how you configured it. raw xcfe can get pretty brutal until you enable composition. then it's tearing free (as it is on my machine).

3D video games from before 3D consoles is one of my favorite aesthetics.

@phattjohnson Год назад

Damn straight. I got the SNES with Starwing (as it was known in PAL regions) for Christmas one year and my mind was blown. I'd hardly seen fully 3D graphics like that in arcades let alone in my very own living room!

@bcyrx Год назад

Same, more so on PC for me though. The console ones always really struggled, but the PC 3d of the time were usually competent making them more tolerable to explore imo.

@SomeOrangeCat Год назад

@MoonSarito Год назад

Wow, I've never heard of Drakkhen, sounds like a game I definitely want to try out, the idea of open-world 3D on a 16-bit console is just incredible.

@wraithcadmus Год назад

SNES Doom is impressive for sure, though according to Randy Linden about 95% of the lifting is done with the SuperFX2. I joke that Doom was ported to the SuperFX2 and used the SNES for playback. As Joe alluded to the 16-bit micros did a lot with 3D. Shout-outs to, Hunter for having a full 3D world with NPCs who remember you and multiple driveable vehicles in 1991, Frontier for being everywhere and a sequel to the beloved Elite, and Zeewolf 2 for probably being the most technically impressive with its patchwork floor.

@inceptional Год назад

Also according to Randy Linden, by going back and using the SNES' built-in HDMA feature properly, he could basically double the frame-rate now from around 10 fps-15 fps to around 25 fps. And there's talk about doing exactly that.

@JohnSmith-or7gh Год назад

I love how Joe's reflection is showing up on the restaurant's window. Not only that, it's the opposite side of the 3D model. Talk about level of details.

@blogrovic3138 Год назад

Finally, someone who isn't hating on Drakkhen. That little misunderstood early open world masterpiece. I love the AMIGA version forever and back. Also, whenever you thought, Game Sack couldn't improve on quality, it proves you wrong :D

@robintst Год назад

Randy Linden's SNES port of Doom is nothing short of impressive on a technical level knowing the hardware limits in place and how he pulled it off, the guy was an absolute wizard. He also did the impossible port of Dragon's Lair to the Amiga and created the Bleem PSX emulator.

@businesscat380 Год назад

He also worked on the Dirt Trax FX game featured in this episode. The guy is a wizard though!

@inceptional Год назад

And we've learned from him directly in recent times that it's even possible to pretty much double the frame-rate using HDMA properly too. So, look forward to seeing some hacker implement that at some point, if not Randy Linden himself.

@SomeOrangeCat Год назад

Yup! He's definitely some kind of sorcerer!

Unrelated, but God, why do people still call the PS1, PSX? A PSX already exists.

The F1, F1 World Championship and Kawasaki Superbike Challenge are maybe my most impressive racing games with polygons on the Mega Drive, they run very smooth. I did have (and still have) Virtua Racing in the 90s, and I did play it a lot.

@nekononiaow Год назад

Yup, seconded, those games use raster graphics to draw the road but all complex roadside elements are drawn using polygons. This allows for a really high frame rate coupled with good looking immersive graphics. Those games deserve to be in a future 3D episode.

@TwoBlackMarks Год назад

@@nekononiaow They are very playable, well, to be honest I have never finished them or anything, mostly just driven some laps now and then, but they are very playable it. Especially for such old console racing games. If I had them when new I would have played them alot probably, not that many old racing games have held up the best.. But there are some, like Outrun is the type of game I just try out, but end up just playing it some more..
