Ander has not stopped while I've been on pause, and here we have another new world to fill with dastardly traps and other things for you. Damn, that looks incredible!

Now that you mentioned Flashback - this game could have been sooo much more if the they had "just" reworked the graphics using the Jaguars nice color capabilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Rosa Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Perhaps. After having played the Genesis, SEGA CD, SNES and 3DO versions, Jaguar still looks the best of them all. Resolution's better and colors are a pinch more vibrant. Jaguar makes the rest look muted and soft. I mean, if it could have looked better - something a kin to 3DO's remaster of Another World - I'd be all for it. If I have any complaints with the Jaguar port it's the odd bit of slowdown in certain parts (SNES had a similar issue) and music's been shuffled about (again, much like SNES). Otherwise, it's the version I play the most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something similar could have been done to Flashback maybe. The background image in the Jungle level looks like only 3 colors (3 shades of blue), the artwork is well done, within the limits of Genesis color palette, but they could have bumped the detail a LOT for the Jaguar. ? But now back to Thrusty. Edited September 22, 2019 by agradeneu added stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Rosa Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I forget where I read this (possibly HardcoreGaming 101) but it's been said the creator of Another World didn't care for 3DO remaster either, though I'm not sure how accurate that is. I like 'em. Wouldn't want it to be my only option, but still. As for Thrusty, it's lookin' damn good. Very cool to watch how the project's evolved since that first test video. Wish more developers did this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esthétiquement ce n'est pas une réussite, parce que justement les fonds sont trop travaillés par rapport aux animations qui elles sont en polygones et donc en aplats. La musique a été entièrement refaite, exit celle de Jean-François, je n'ai pas vraiment eu mon mot à dire, ni l'énergie de me battre car à ce moment là j'étais dans le cœur des ténèbres, un développement qui je l'ignorais encore allait durer six ans... Which means: Quote The 3D0 version Developed by Interplay as well, it had very detailed bitmap backgrounds. From an aesthetic point of view it is not a success, precisely because the backgrounds look too polished when compared to animations which are made of flat-color polygons. The music was entirely remade, they discarded Jean-François' one, I had no say on the matter, and no energy to fight back since I was working on Heart of Darkness at that time, something I didn't knew would last for six more years...

Machine Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I like how you can land and pick up items. I thought when you landed (at 2:02 mark), you were gonna hide behind a tree or shrub. Looks great, can't wait to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
