Dandy, your post made this come to mind: http://qkme.me/3orn7qdandymcgee wrote:Haha, that's awesome. I opted to buy a Super Nintento first, as I've never owned one and really wanted to play Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger first-hand. I lost all the consoles I had as a kid so at some point I will be purchasing an NES and a Sega Genesis. I didn't grow up with the pseudo 3D graphics of the N64 or DreamCast, so although I'd like to have those at some point as well, I may find it hard to enjoy that style of graphics considering my lack of nostalgia for them. I do have an Atari 2600 though.
Lol. All the consoles older than 1999 at least.Trask wrote:Dandy, your post made this come to mind: http://qkme.me/3orn7qdandymcgee wrote:Haha, that's awesome.

What the fuck? Did you just call the Dreamcast's graphics "psuedo 3D?" You also lumped it with the same generation as the N64, even though it is graphically on par with the PS2 and is from the PS2/GC/XBox generation? You're about to get bitch slapped.dandymcgee wrote:Haha, that's awesome.

Yes.. most of those are psuedo 3D in my opinion (that entire list of consoles, not the dreamcast screenshots you posted, a few of those are pretty fucking amazing actually). It really depends on the game though. While the first screenshot is obviously low prim, the textures are ridiculously good. Sonic is sonic.. doesn't make any difference what shape he is so long as he's blue with red shoes. Sambo De Amigo is a rhymthm game, so graphics are irrelevant that shit is still fun as hell.GyroVorbis wrote:What the fuck? Did you just call the Dreamcast's graphics "psuedo 3D?"

Pseudo 3D... Isn't that what Doom was? And Wolfenstein? It has nothing to do with how low the 'prims' are.dandymcgee wrote:Yes.. most of those are psuedo 3D in my opinion (that entire list of consoles, not the dreamcast screenshots you posted, a few of those are pretty fucking amazing actually).

My definition of pseudo 3D as a term i made up on the spot (perhaps you've seen it used otherwise) is noticeably low-primitive 3D objects. There are always exceptions, and no game (or console) should be judged solely on graphics, hence me ALSO saying that I would likely buy one when I am able to try it out for myself (which you conveniently forgot to mention).
