Mm... bad topic to begin my career in this list but must fire my opinion...
>Yeah, you got it! Maybe PSX has a little smaller resolution than a PC
Enough for a standard TV or low frequency monitor, which are the display
devices the PSX ***AND COIN-OPS*** are actually intended to work with.
If the PSX was meant to be hooked to a SVGA monitor I bet it would had
featured higher resolution, pixel power and -of course- PRICE.
AFAIK PCs still don't offer MORE features for LESS money, huh?
> Besides, super-resoulution and
>super-real-time-render and super-3D-moving and all of this
>super-real-bullshit are really needed for having fun?? NO!!
If that super-resolution, render and 3D moving WERE REALISTIC ENOUGH and
their programmers HAD A BARE MINIMUM TALENT perhaps it would be a little
fun. IMO the videogames we see nowadays (specially in the PC side) are
little more than poorly finished overproduced aberrations.
Amorphous cocktails of 3D overtextured objects which seem to be in an
endless out-of-sync condition (depending on the cost of the gfx card) and
are doomed to be played by most PC users in a cheap 15" SVGA monitor using
the arrow keys and wiggling a mouse while listening to ridiculously
unpolished samples thru a pair of ridiculous speakers.
And those few who have more inches, more out-of-sync polygons per second,
more keys, more buttons on the wiggling mouse and more watts crammed into
the ridiculous speakers' built-in amplifier are just wasting their money
becoming exactly the kind of radical sad geeks they think we are.
>Castlevania 3D? Oh my god, what a nightmare!!!
A nightmare caused by the ABSOLUTE LACK OF IDEAS, TALENT AND HARDWARE
INCENTIVE.
Why? Overkill. Anybody has free access to unlimited creative **AND
PUBLISHING** resources while just 8% of them have some degree of artistic
capability.
>(Note: as a true radical guy I am, I promise to commit public suicide if I
>see Gradius 3D some day). X-)
No way. Suicide means surrender. There are more radical and effective
attitudes towards this phenomenon.
And they are FUN!
