The PlayStation can produce mind-boggling effects.

3D games were a huge shift from 2D. Compare that to going from a tv screen to VR headset.

bro look at these MIND-BOGGLING VFX

zoomers will never know what it was like

>boomers minds were boggled seeing this image as they shit and pissed themselves

You are entering, the Bone Zone.

Has anyone actually played King's Field? Is it worth playing in current year? I still have my PS1 after all.

>>713231416
i played some of it but i watched a playthrough of it. it's pretty cool if you like dungeon crawlers with good music/atmosphere. if you emulate it you can run it at solid 30 fps instead of the drops down to like 10fps that happens on hardware

>>713228450 (OP)
Fuck, spoiler that shit anon, it's too fuckin scary

>>713228450 (OP)
Kinda wanna get this

It boggles the mind

>>713231651
Unless you're really tolerant of early 3D dungeon crawler jank, probably not. I think some of the later ones are better but those early ones are really rough.
Not saying don't play them, I'm just saying they're not "hidden gems".

>>713228450 (OP)
Those skellies are pretty rad

>>713230375
uhhhhhhh more like boner zone lol hehehehehe hahahahaha

NOOOO MY MIND IS BEING BOGGLED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>713231416
I played all of them back to back. they're alright. I liked 3 the most. they're janky games but they arent functionally unplayable.

Imagine generating that with metal and plastic. I’d be boggled as well.

How else does someone on /v/ "play" games?

>>713228450 (OP)
can any gamers from the era confirm?
was your mind boggled?

>>713231416
Play KF4 and Shadow Tower Abyss please!

>>713228450 (OP)
status: boggled

>>713231416
You won't enjoy them in the current year. They're slow, clunky and difficult. Play on an emulator with cheats if you must

millennials were easily impressed huh?

>Oldest Millennials would have been 13 when the article released
Yes, Gen X and Boomers were easily impressed and are still driving the sales of steadily declining CGI slop.

>>713231416
I played KF1 and 2 (Japanese numbers I mean, in america/yurop we never got KF1 and our KF1 was KF2) I liked them both but they're both, they're both good adventures I think, but not good games, and KF1 in particular has a final boss that's kind of a meme basically it has thousands of hp and you're only supposed to kill it with 1 specific weapon you get from an npc quest, however one of the spells (the air one idr the name) does hit every frame its projectile is inside an enemy so that also works for killing the boss
I didn't use guides for either game though, so I can say they are somewhat reasonable to navigate on your own, but they do have some memes that might hold you up for a few hours.

>>713231416
They are masterpieces, and I have no idea why anyone else isnt trying to do the same thing.
>>713228450 (OP)
Kingsfield skeletons literally dont look like that

>>713240250
I think that's from the first one (JP), not the first one (US). It was only like 4MB.

>>713228450 (OP)
I wish I could return to this simplicity
However, the seeds of evil were sown into this world long before the Japanese video game industry.
The truth is, you were always meant to suffer.

>>713230027
Neverwinter is liquid shit and doesn't earn 5% of the praise it gets

>>713240250
>I have no idea why anyone else isnt trying to do the same thing
I know this is /v so you'll >tranny post at me, but I enjoyed lunacid as a king's field-like, even though it does have stat allocation it's still a fairly simple, nice adventure like king's field
I don't have any dog in the tranny race, don't care, don't trannypost at me I just like king's field's style of gameplay

>>713240315
Im aware, KF1 skeletons are very stiff and have a small spider shield. They never ever approach you this well animated until Shadow tower. The mind boggling meme is 100% Bullshot

>>713240504
I dont care about tranny nonsense. Anybody who does doesn't value gameplay, they value politics and ragebait. That said Lunacid is nothing like Kingsfield, you saying so means you blindly bought into marketing babble.

>>713240895
I've played both, (in addition to most other fromsoft games using the king's field engine) you can play lunacid exactly like king's field if you want, you can also play it nothing like king's field, all just depends on how you allocate your stats. Cool if you didn't enjoy it though, but I liked it both using a build that makes it play just like kf and builds to make it play like a fast fps.

Go play Tears of the Moon. It's free and made in Sword of Moonlight.

>>713241170
Yea I actually meant to check this out and just never got around to it, good reminder

>>713241128
You cant outstrafe the enemies because they magnetically lock onto always facing you, even if you could your own mouselook would make circling trivial.
This has drastic damning effects on melee combat. Just like how Shadow tower abyss in specific slows you when you swing.
Its a system by someone who is entirely mistaken about what Kingsfield gameplay actually is

>>713241473
I played it with a controller with a setup to make it play identically to kf2 so I didn't have that problem, you can easily outstrafe enemies even with the lowest speeds (I've done a pure level 1 run)
I'm not trying to defend the game but you're just blatantly wrong bro

>>713241170
Can it get ripped out of Steam? Im not installing that dogshit platform just to play it

>>713241609
Unless Kira rewrote the entire game and AI then you aren't outstrafing anything

>>713242129
Oh I get what you mean, you're right, you can't just circle strafe them infinitely with low speed, you're supposed to backstep between attacks, yes
That is a legitimate difference that's fair, although I preferred it

>>713228450 (OP)
If the Switch 2 impress the Tendies, the bar is pretty low.

>>713231416
i tried the japanese original, it is interesting. very cool atmosphere, you start off with a lot of questions which is interesting, but i didn't get very far. it is a lot like the original zelda, it just throws you in to explore. the last time i tried it, my computer was too weak to run even ps1 emulators. and if you don't overclock your emulator, the game runs very poorly, so i recommend a limit removing emulator like the mednafen psx one.

Much too scary, no thank you mr skeltal

>>713239041
How come they don't make RPGs like Grandia anymore?

>>713228450 (OP)
this kills the chink btw

holy fuck

>>713231416
they can be alright if you enjoy this type of game, but honestly at the same time you had stuff like Might and Magic or Wizardry or Ultima, all of which absolutely blow King's Field out of the water in every way.

>Is it worth playing in current year?
Played through the PS1 games recently and my answer is most definitely yes, some things to note though.
>The first game is JP only so the easiest way to play it is on an emulator with an iso that is fan translated
>The first one is a pure dungeon crawler but the second and third game(1 and 2 in the US) are alot more open in terms of exploration
Havent played 4 yet but so far all of them have great soundtracks.

They don't deserve to know what it was like.

I look forward to being the new boomers and making their lives hell.

AIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! S-SKELETONS!!!

>>713231416
They are great games if you like dungeon crawling. If not then there is no point in playing them outside of trying a novelty. I still think kf1(jp) has the best pacing out of all of them. Only beat by shadow tower, the sister series to kf
