Marvel vs Capcom 2 on the Sega Dreamcast. Not only was it a beautiful conversion but it didn't cost you an entire day's pay when you had a few beers at Sega Gameworks [my hometown was lucky enough to have one and it was AMAZING. I wish some other restaurant/bar chain would copy the idea]

My mom tried to restart the fuse box in the house by turning it off then back on to make sure it would work again, and it didn't.

9+9+9+9=36...3+6=9.... then take the first two 9/9 =1, then take the second two nine's in 99, add them 9+9=18, then 1x8=8, then take the 9 you started with and minus the 8, so 9-8=1. So you have 911. Then take Sega, S=19, E=5, G=7 and A=1, so you then do 19x5x7=665 then you add the 1 for the A and you have 666. So, 911, or September 11th - and 666. That's what the Dreamcast launch was telling us.

Hey Joe! Big fan! Just wanted to pitch in my two cents on the Super Hang On controls. I don't think they're actually "laggy" per se, I think they're intended to have that gradual feel so that you can have the greater range of turning degrees despite the lack of analog stick, without the animation going totally wonky. For example, if it's a gradual left turn, holding left will be too sharp, so instead you can rapidly tap left. Thanks to the "delayed" feeling of the turning, it feels a lot more like you're shifting your weight on a bike, and they reflect this in the animation by not leaning your rider until you've held the turning direction for a little while. Otherwise if it were like most racing games your rider sprite would be freakin out. I always thought this was an inspired design choice, it is (as you said) surprisingly easy to get used to and really FEELS like the weight of turning a motorcycle is present, setting it apart from other types of racing games like OutRun.

I love this topic. Coin-op conversions/ports are some of my favorites. As much time as I spent in arcades in my 10s and 20s, being able to play the games at home and at will was often a treat. Your mention of SoulCalibur is a perfect example to use, especially with the Dreamcast's 20th anniversary on the horizon. Others that I'd mention include: -- Tecmo Bowl (NES over coin-op): The NFLPA license added real players, plus the game was revamped from its dual-monitor coin-op counterpart to deliver a simpler and more enjoyable experience. -- Street Fighter Alpha 3 (PlayStation & Dreamcast over coin-op): The addition of World Tour Mode vaults the home versions past the coin-op original. Being able to build a (kind of) unique character, earning and enabling different power-ups, is super-addictive. The Dreamcast version is, in terms of performance, virtually arcade-perfect... but the PlayStation version is no slouch, either. -- Starblade Alpha (PlayStation over coin-op): The PlayStation version of the not-often-seen coin-op introduces texture-mapped polygons for a better look than the arcade's more generic graphics. It's still a rail shooter, no matter which version you play, but the PlayStation (and 3DO!) versions are better because of this added visual option. Thanks for keeping up the hard work, Joe... and I'm really happy that ending skits are still a thing. This one is gold.

Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast is 20 years old and the visuals still look pretty damn good. Even though it is 20 years old the graphics and gameplay can still be enjoyed today. Then compare a game that came out 20 years before Soul Calibur like Asteroids. There is clearly no comparison. Even a 10 year old game from 1989 isn't comparable to a 1999 Dreamcast game. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we haven't progressed near as much from 1999-2019 as we had from 1979-1999. I miss those days when new technology was coming out that was amazing and had a big wow factor to it. In 1990 the SNES came out then only 6 years later the N64 was released and was absolutely mind blowing! Then came the Dreamcast which had even more amazing graphics. After that things slowed down. The PS2,Gamecube and Xbox came out which did have more graphical power than the Dreamcast but it was nothing amazing. That was the last consoles I owned besides the Wii. After that I just gamed on the PC as there didn't seem to be much of a reason to own a console.

@HerecomestheCalavera
@HerecomestheCalavera 5 жыл бұрын
@@Dj.D25 I totally agree. I don't see how graphics can really improve all that much from what they are now except for little improvements here and there like you mentioned with lighting. Just Cause 2 came out in 2010. Just Cause 4 was released in 2018. Does 4 look better than 2? Sure, but does it look 8 years better? Not to me. 8 years used to be a huge amount of time in gaming. Basically it was the difference between Super Nintendo to the Sega Dreamcast. If you went back to 1991 and showed somebody Shenmue their mind would have been totally blown! They wouldn't even be able to comprehend how such an advanced game was possible. If you did the same now and went back to 2011 and showed somebody a game that was released in 2019 they wouldn't be that impressed. They would probably say it looks pretty damn good but would easily be able to believe it came out that year and was just running on top of the line hardware. I don't think we are ever going to have a huge jump in gaming like we used to. A lot of people went straight from the SNES to the N64 and that was an unbelievable jump in graphics. The only thing that could maybe come close to that today is if they developed a really good VR. Something that actually made you feel like you were in the world of the game. Even though there has been some big improvements in VR recently I don't know if I ever see them making a VR that truly seems real. If it ever does get that good it will be pretty far off in the future.

I think part of it is that the more detail you can produce, the more artists you have to hire to produce what the graphics are going to look like. The art departments they have to maintain to design modern AAA games are orders of magnitude larger than the teams they worked with in the late 90s. There's a lot more that goes into it than just computational power. I think that's part of why visuals in games haven't changed as dramatically in recent years: we've gotten past the point where the tech is holding us back but there's still the matter of development budgets.

You really nailed some of these, Joe. Rygar on NES, TTT on PS2, and both of the NES Contra games were the first titles that came to my mind when I saw the theme of this episode. Also, the Staff Roll in Tekken Tag is arguably the finest piece of video game music ever made.

Joe’s Contra commentary about screen orientation made me think: do they’ve made vertical screens a thing back in the day to minimize cabinets size? I mean, obviously an arcade owner would like to display as many cabinets as possible. (Sorry if this is an actual well known thing and I’m late in the conversation though).

Ah the thrilling speed sensation is what still makes me come back to arcade Super Hang On. Other versions are just substitutes to me, when you couldn't play the arcade version easily (availability, money, restrictive parents, you name it). And i enjoyed a lot playing the Atari ST version in my youth.

Agree. Turtles In Time had more levels and exclusive bosses. Street Fighter Alpha 3 had more characters and stages. And you also got unlimited tries against the final boss in Arcade mode, which the arcade version didn't let you do. Only 1 try and that's it.

@@TexasWench Just runs smoother if memory serves, plus the PS1 version has that really kickass campaign mode.

Bionic Commando actually had nothing whatsoever to do with Commando. That connection was only added in the English translation, and was basically just part of censorship (since they removed a lot of plot elements). The original plot had to do with taking down a neo Nazi state. The original name was Top Secret: The Resurrection of Hitler in Japan.
