Tactics Ogre - LUCT (Saturn version)

Decent new font + "enhanced" PSP translation + Snes gameplay + better resolution? Count me in!

...
Nice, but needs music from the PSP release.

Look at that subtle pre-rendered backgrounds and sprite-based characters displayed with an isometric camera perspective. The tasteful thickness of the HUD. Oh my God, it even has great character art (and ASMR-level female voices) and animals that can shut up for once instead of giving me le heckin quirky quips of reddit "humor" like in larian shit:

Art style and UI like that are forgotten and lost technology. Rare artefacts of a bygone civilisation.

How is the fog of war when scrolling the screen? Last time I tried to play it years ago it would flicker like crazy due to the lcd monitor I was using.

I'm playing with the EE mod and I have no problems or issues other than the fact that pathfinding is completely broken and it takes multiple attempts to force the party to walk through a door.

The AI is not very good, but the game itself is kind of dumb broken.

My turn order:
T1 Move
T2 Trade
T3 Move
T4 Trade + Upgrade
T5 Produce * (8 Workers)
T6 Trade
T7 Produce + Deploy
T8 Move + Enlist
T9 Produce + Deploy
T10 Move + Enlist * Battle Rusviet
T11 Produce + Deploy * (4 Mechs)
T12 Move + Enlist * (Objective Divide and Conquer)
T13 Bolster + Build
T14 Move + Enlist * Battle Crimea * (4 Recruits)

6 Move
4 Produce
3 Trade
1 Bolster

I've heard good things about Resident Evil Remake. Time to play this shit!



:obviously:





:obviously:



:roll:



I hope this isn't Chris's blood...



Time to check out the door to the right...

:dance:

Technical info:
  • Retroarch + Beetle PSX HW core
  • 4x Internal GPU Res (better models)
  • Adaptive Smoothing (de-pixalated 2D on non-standard internal res)
  • Crop Overscan = Static (proper AR)
  • PGXP Enabled (de-wobbling of 3D elements)
  • /scanlines/oscc shader (2D backgrounds look better):
Off:



On:

Now that you're into shaders, for a more period-correct look, instead of adaptive smoothing of 2d elements try supersampling (downscaling) on BeetlePSX. I personally use 8x internal res with supersampling and the results are great.

I've seen screenshots you people wouldn't believe... Doomguy fire off the shoulder of Mars... I watched horses on the roof of Tannhäuser Castle. All those screenshots will be lost in time, like dead links in the first page... Time to die.

^^ i love shandalar!
i've been trying to make a complete retexture for morrowind to make the game look kinda like an oil painting. the effect is kind of subtle, you might not notice it until you look at something up close, but i like the effect. idk if i should adjust it more. items look nice, like they have some good texture to them.

i like how the cloud textures in particular worked out

Giving one last chance to Flightgear, checking the turbulence model (or its lack thereof) in a bugged bf-109 at Interlaken. Worth it for the Combat Flight Simulator nostalgia value :

Then, to clean my eyes, a quick run in DCS :

Not very realistic either to be honest but more pleasing.

Did a quick spin in the X-Plane 12 demo :

Looks good too, flight model is pleasant with fair amount of turbulences but it's somehow less challenging than DCS where there is very little margins around planes flight envelope.

World of Goo 2 was okay for the most part, but did we really need black drag queens in the highly abstract tower and bridge builder game for teens? They switched out smokes for "sparklers" and liquor for "milk" in the noir adventure segments, but a gay African in a wig sexually harassing the player stayed in? It's just not what I signed up for.
