Best looking 16-bit game?
« on: June 03, 2001, 08:52:22 PM »
Sorry, Neo Geo is not allowed, as it is actually 24-bit :)

post away!

The Final Fantasy 6  Espers were defintely something to scream about back in the day -


----------
Also, Chrono Trigger\'s Triple Techs were great looking as was the scenery on the towns and bridges, and the enemies! excellente! -




---------

Phantasy Star IV\'s anime style cut-scenes were mucho impressive -



dammit Zio!!

Batman Returns for SegaCD -



you cant see it from here, but Batman\'s scaling and rotation made it king of 16-bit racers!!
---------

BC Racers (SegaCD)

Using cel-shaded graphics (bet you didnt know they had THOSE back in the day!) , This is one great looking game!


-------------

Silpheed (SegaCD)

Take StarFox\'s 3d effects and double them and you get Silpheed. This game was and still is very fun, although those unshaded polys look mighty rough these days!




more to come...

Yeah, you did it!

Anyhoo, the best looking game of the 16 bit generation was Super Mario RPG(no random battles!).

ANGEL FIRE IS GAY

I\'ve been playing this game a lot lately. It\'s one of my all time favorites. The only game to have a better battle system than this is Grandia 2 IMO.

Donkey Kong Country 3 would be my next choice.

Well this is going to be a fairly lopsided thread. After all, graphically the SNES blew the Genesis out of the water. Considering the hardware though, I\'d say that Hardwired was one of the best looking 16bit games. It proved that the Genesis could do Rotating Sprites, Mode 7 like effects, and several of the SNES\'s top features.. albiet not nearly as well. AND, the opening movie was simply GORGEOUS. I can\'t find screenshots, and I really don\'t even know if the game was ever released for commercial sale. If my puter wasn\'t so screwed up, I\'d take some myself. Oh well, the ROM can be found on several emulation websites, so a quick Google search should bring it right up.

BTW: That blew when Aliz died. She was one of the coolest Phantasy Star characters ever. (Even her nickname was cool... "The Eight Stroke Warrior" Heh heh) After Zio killed her I almost didn\'t want to contiune the game, but I figured if it was this good already.. then the rest of the game wouldn\'t dissapoint. And it didn\'t. PS4 is still one of the best RPG\'s I\'ve ever played. (Plus the Macro system kicks ass!!)

Yeah, Phantasy Star 4 is one of the greatest RPGs, if not games of all time.
I have Hardwired, which was later renamed and commercially released as something...name escapes me. I will take a couple screens and get them up on photopoint, then put em up :)

Angelfire\'s graphics are ok, but what is with only 5 colors shown at a time? I thought it could do better than that!

Red Zone is the name of the commercially released Genesis game with scaling and rotation, many people said it couldnt be done, even Sega, but it just takes persistence. Someone has to find some pics though!!


-------
Ranger X (Genesis) - excellent looking shooter, probably the best looking on any 16-bit



----------
Sonic 3 (Gen) can you say beautiful?



-------
Sonic 3D Blast (Gen) - Until i see Super Mario RPG (which I remember as being great looking) , this is gotta be the best looking 16-bitter!


--------


more later...

I didn\'t think that Silpheed looks so great. This game rocks. :)

Sonic 3D Blast was also on Genesis. Looked pretty nice.

Somebody forget Treasure???

Gunstar Heroes???

Dynamite Headdy???

Alien Soldier???

Also...

Phantasy Star 2, 3, 4

Shining... Series

Street Fighter Series

How could anybody forget these???

You\'ve all been spoiled by the graphics of today. Forgetting how wowed we were back in the days. Fools!!! This injustice will not go unpunished.

Bwa Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!

Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Yes, good graphics but no 3D objects and the gameplay was not so good like in Super Mario World 1.

But good graphics, that\'s right

:laughing: I\'m suprised no one else picked up on this.

IMO, Gunstar Heroes and Sonic and Knuckles were 2 of the best looking 16 bit games.

That was the Genesis version of Sonic 3D Blast. Judging by your reply, it looks VERY Nice. otherwise, you would have ot thought it was a Saturn game :)

I don\'t care about any of your claims if I can\'t see them, I don\'t wanna have to do all your work for you guys and post the pictures myself!

Here are some Sonic 3D Blast (Sat) screens so you can compare the difference. -









From these screens, you see that Saturn was, YES, able to do transparencies, it just had to be done through software, which many of you guys say is beneficial to PS2!:p

I guess I will go see about getting those DKC screens, even though they WERE pre-rendered. We can match em up to Sonic 3D Blast. I DO remember as a kid freaking out about how good they looked though.

hmmm, the backrounds are better, but the characters are definetly worse than Sonic 3D Blast.

Here are those DKC3 screens, they are great, but very noticeably prerendered.





But I guess the characters in Sonic 3D Blast were pre-rendered, aren\'t they?
