Why has Quake remained in the public consciousness while Unreal has not?
>>8925817>idsoftware was an established powerhouse within the edgy kewl kidz hipster scene of the late 90sid software was completely mainstream by the late 90's. Their games weren't for edgy hipsters at all, they were for normal FPS enjoyers. The hipsters were jerking off over games like Marathon and Rise of the Triad. This alternate history you've created is bizarre and hilarious.>Epic gained the upper hand with Unreal, it was beyond anything seen up to that pointUnreal was quite good but it wasn't that impressive with Quake II already on the market.
>>8925814No, a dodge jump is when you jump in the middle of a dodge to gain a momentum boost. Dodge jumping is as important in UT2004 as strafe jumping is in Quake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tr4ivvmkbc
Quake has a better single player mode.
>>8927519Quake II was the competitor to Unreal, not Quake.

Last time was fun... let's do another one of theseThis thread is dedicated to the discussion of older visual novels and date sim gamesMore exciting news! YU-NO for the PC-98 now has an English patch! (which I have no idea how to make it work)
Dumb question but can YU-NO (and PC98 games in general) be played with 100% controller? I want to emulate the sovlfvl version on a chink handheld.

Last month, we had a comfy thread of anons sharing (mostly) retro game music that would sound good on the old school weather channel.https://desuarchive.org/vr/thread/8810017/https://battaglia.ddns.net/twc/twc2.htmlThat thread culiminated in this based playlist of 191 YouTube tracks.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_6TxgIrAWl7m-b0fdSgMhF3NbVYKLzghDuring that thread I mentioned I wanted to make an album based on this, and after many hours of finding better quality versions and sorting out proper track names and sources, this is the end result.This album is available in three formats distributed as a 7z archive split into 200MB parts:>320kbps CBR MP3 at original sample ratesPart 1: https://files.catbox.moe/748mxs.001Part 2: https://files.catbox.moe/s0ts4g.002Part 3: https://files.catbox.moe/0g8law.003Part 4: https://files.catbox.moe/xnjv3q.004Part 5: https://files.catbox.moe/39q8o3.005Comment too long.

>>8926403It's just a 7zip archive.You know how to use 7zip right?Fix the file extensions by changing them from .001 to .7z.001 and so-on, and they'll all need the same filename like music.7z.001, music.7z.002, until all parts from that split archive are present.

Whoever made Castlevania’s music, can’t be bothered to check.
This framerate is awful, it makes the game completely unplayable. Why didn't people have standards for framerate like we do now back in the day? No true gamer would accept this low fps now.

My neighborhood is having yard sales this week and I saw that a few were selling some CRTs; what should I generally be looking for and around how much should I be paying? I haven't used or owned a CRT since I was a kid. Any other retro vidya or goodies to be on the lookout for?
Brand names are pretty accurate and useful when it comes to CRTs. Your familiar electronics brands (Sony, JVC, Panasonic, Sharp) will be of at least respectable quality and worth a look. If it's Zenith or some crap you've never heard of just leave it be.Inputs: for USAbros your ideal is a TV with component video input (red green and blue for video), that's the best you're gonna get on a consumer set. 6th generation consoles (+Wii) look awesome over component. Even PS3 and Xbox 360 are serviceable on a CRT with component. Next up is S-Video which I'd say is 90% of component in terms of image quality. Very good for 4th-6th gen consoles. After that you have your basic composite input (only the yellow video). This should be your bare minimum for image quality. Note that if a TV only has RF (coaxial) input do not bother with it. That's garbage. I personally would not pay for a CRT that doesn't have S-video or component input. There are so many free composite-only sets on facebook marketplace. I'm a hardware guy but I use ODEs and Flashcarts; I would say be on the lookout for accessories but most controllers you find at a garage sale will probably be heavily worn and not worth picking up.
Everything was basically sold out by the time I finally got home. All I could find was a small Toshiba (probably 13" or so) with only 2 composite slots instead of the usual 3 and an audio jack, no component or anything elseIs that worth it or no?
>>8927459if all you play is NES, it's ok... I guess. but if you love NES that much you probably would want to RGB mod it.
>>8927438Disregard this faggot. Composite is objectively how old games were meant to be played.
>>8927459Welcome to the hopeless world of yardsale shopping. There will always be at least one weirdo that calls the night before and/or shows up at the first trace of sunrise, so good luck finding anything decent.
This thread is to discuss the Mister project itself and FPGA emulation of classic consoles and computers in general.Latest updates:HANDHELD MISTER - Misterbros, we just keep winninghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eAgjgbZyPw
>>8926835Superior in every way. And give it half a year of testing and bug fixing I expect it will be perfect.
>>8926835The real question is how it compares to Beetle PSX or Duckstation. Hint: it doesn't and there is no reason to use MiSTer over emulation
Who here is hyped for game and watch core? Progress is moving along nicelyhttps://github.com/pcornier/GnW_MiSTer

Why do we hate the PSone? I thought it was cute :3 and mighty compact?For comparison the PS2 slim never got the same hate
>>8926263Yeah I think I have oneIt’s an elite model with 120gb HDD, gotta get round to modding it
>>8925337Inspired from this thread, I bought a cheap PSone. They're actually reasonably cheap now even though I swear they were like 2 times the price in June 2020). It's a little bit yellah. Can I just white it a bit from a diluted bleach solution or do I need to buy this retrobrite shite? (hey, that rhymes).
>>8925347>>8925362>>8925994By 'we', I meant all the assholes on /vr/ who complained about PSones and assumed they represented the collective front of /vr/. As I said, I thought it was cute :3 and mighty compact
nah

Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past.Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened Thief thread.
Plus the whole atmosphere of Soulforge is just so wonderfully overwhelming. Every floor feels like a new level of a brick and cement hell. Like a giant tomb filled with Karras's creations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s60DKLo0tKY
Is there fan content that uses both Thief and SS2 assests
>>8927047A Keeper Of PropheciesI like it but many people do not and I can understand why. Go in blind and see it for yourself.
>>8927047for me, that campaign was a mixed bag. I did appreciate how diverse the gameplay was, and the originality of the settings.that being said, the escort objective in the final mission was a pain. furthermore, dealing with the main villain was a complete slog, for obvious reasons

I'm looking for an old ps1 game, the aesthetic of it was like picrel or that's how I remember it, the level I played was one of those where you fly around crossing some light circles. You controlled some punk with dieselpunk wings? It's weird, I played its demo when I was a kid and never knew what game was
>>8927286You have to go back>>8927276>some punk with dieselpunk wingsWere you flying, walking, racing? Was it vehicular combat? Need more details.
>>8927295It was flying over a city trying to cross those typical circles of light of a flying level, I think it was like a racing game but it might be just a level
If the demo was on one of those Interactive CD Sampler Discs, Jampack or the Pizza Hut demo discs, you could probably narrow it down by looking up vids of those.
Was it Omega Boost?
>>8927536>Omega BoostNa, that seems to be about robots, the one I'm looking for it was in a city
>Resident Evil 4 sucks on PS2 because the graphics are worse >Resident Evil on Saturn has retarded looking models and the transparent effects are now dithered but it's better because... IT JUST IS OK??Explain this phenomenon
>>8926996>Mentions new enemies and bosses.>Confirms there's new bosses and enemies.>Accuses of being disingenuousHow is that being disingenuous? The point is Saturn Resident Evil isn't a bad port and it's a perfectly acceptable version to play. You're not really missing a whole lot by playing it over the PS1 version, just as you argue that you're not missing much playing the PS1 version over the Saturn version. Why is there this need to have these silly console wars when it comes to games that are good on both platforms?
>>8926381It's not better. It's different.
>>8926954ok whatever makes you sleep at night
>>8926407>Why can't people have personal tastes and preferences when it comes to what version of a game they want to play?Because individualism is bad, didn't you read the manifesto?
>>8926664No, Saturn warps due to perspective too. Distortion at screen edges is something different and not warping per se.

>>8926801The PC Engine CD overtook it's original card-based console as the main system.
>>8926939Certainly not your dad.
>>8926751nobody would've bought it
If SNES CD came to market in a timely fashion, it would have succeeded and disrupted the rest of gaming history. Playstation wouldn't have been made and Saturn and N64 would be even competitors like the SNES and Mega Drive.
