50th comment 290th like Turbografx PC Engine CD and Supergrafx has so many killer shoot em ups even though Supergrafx had 3 shoot em ups they were all good
HD SHOULD BE USED TO DESCRIBE THE PIXEL DENSITY OF AN AREA, NOT THE SHAPE/RATIO OF THE AREA. 16:9 =/= HD YOU COULD HAVE SHOWN THE VIDEOS IN HD KEEPING THE ORIGINAL RATIO 4:3 (?) 16:9 IS FORCING YOUR EMULATOR TO DISTORT THE ORIGINAL SHAPES OF THE IMAGES. YOU CAN MAKE THE EMULATOR UPSCALE, OR RUN THE GAME NATIVE IN HD, KEEPING THE ORIGINAL RATIO. FILTERS ARE A MATTER OR TASTE. I THINK THAT HD IS WAY TOO MUCH DEFINITION FOR CRT VIDEOGAMES, SO A CRT FILTER WILL HELP US SEE -IN A MODERN SCREEN- WHAT WE USED TO SEE ON A CRT TV. IT ACTUALLY LOOKS WARMER AND HOMEY IF YOU USE A CRT FILTER. WHAT WE SEE IN MODERN SCREENS IS NOT WHAT WE SAW BACK THEN WITH CRT TVS. AND THE DESIGNERS OF THE GAMES DESIGNED THE GRAPHICS THINKING ON HOW THEY WERE GOING TO BE FILTERED THROUGH THE CRT OF THE TV, THE CRT WAS THE ORIGINAL FILTER THE DESIGNERS WORKED THEIR DESIGNS AROUND OF. WHEN WE PLAY THESE GAMES WITHOUT CRT FILTER WE ARE IN A SENSE PLAYING THEM WITH A FILTER, BECAUSE CRT WAS A GIVEN, NOT AN OPTION, BACK THEN. WE DID NOT GET THESE GAMES FROM ALIENS AND BARELY MADE THEM WORK FOR OUR PRIMITIVE CRTS IN THE 90s, SO THAT FINALLY NOW WE GET TO PROPERLY PLAY THEM IN HD, NO! THESE GAMES WERE CREATED BY DESIGNERS FOR A CRT TV, AND HD SCREENS LACK THE CRT FILTER TO SEE THE GAMES LIKE THEY WERE INTENDED TO BE SEEN. OTHER FILTERS ARE DIFFERENT THINGS, I LIKE SOME NON CRT FILTERS LIKE XBr, MAKES SOME GAMES FEEL LIKE COMICS. ANYWAY, WHATEVER YOU DECIDE REGARDING FILTERS, PLEASE NEVER DO 16:9 AGAIN. DISTORTING THE RATIO TO 16:9 FOR SOMETHING DESIGNED FOR 4:3 IS GONNA RAPE THE ARTWORK, UNLESS YOU ARE USING A HACK TO RENDER AND FILL FOR THE 16:9 VISUAL SPACE WITHOUT DISTORTING THE ACTUAL ASSETS. SUCH HACKS ARE POSSIBLE IN MANY GAMECUBE GAMES FOR EXAMPLE, USING DOLPHIN. /CAPSLOCK: CRUISECONTROL FOR COOL
WHAT HE IS DOING WORST IS RAPING THE SHAPE INTO 16:9 THEN HE IS NOT USING ANY FILTER, WHAT YOU SEE AS A FILTER IS THE LACK OF A CRT FILTER. PCENGINE GAMES ARE FROM A GENERATION OF GAMES WHOSE GRAPHIC ART WAS DESIGNED AROUND THE CRT TELEVISION WHICH CAME WITH A NATURAL CRT FILTER. WE DID NOT CALL IT CRT FILTER, WE JUST CALLED IT TELEVISION. MODERN MONITORS DO NOT HAVE A CRT TO FUNCTION SO MODERN GAMES ARE DESIGNED DIFFERENTLY. GAMES FROM THE PCENGINE ERA WHERE NEVER DESIGNED FOR A CLEAN HD MONITOR, BUT THE MESSY CRT TELEVISION WITH SCAN LINES. WHEN YOU SEE OLD GAMES EMULATED WITHOUT CRT FILTER, THEY LOOK ALIEN AND TOO CRISP AND EMPTY, TOO CLEAN. THEY WERE NOT DESIGNED TO LOOK THAT UGLY AND PLAIN, BECAUSE THEY WERE DESIGNED WITH LOTS OF CLEAN EMPTY SPACES TO BE FILLED BY THE NOISE OF SCAN LINES. THE NOISE OF THE SCAN LINES WERE PART OF THE FINAL RESULT THE GAMES WERE DESIGNED FOR.
@Spinning Teabag inaccurate in the sense that they were originally, and for years since, called shooters. Some lame interloper has likely come up with this shoot em up moniker and it's caught on. It sounds dumb; it looks dumb, and it's for the dumb.
@Spinning Teabag You can disagree. It's okay by me. It would be interesting to try to reach back and see where it started. They were definitely shooters here in North America.
