I remember fapping to the blonde girl from Albert's Odyssey cause I saw her character design in a gaming magazine wearing the shortiest of skirts.

You have an entire board dedicated to bitching about Saturn for the millionth time, go there instead

You were ten years too early to appreciate the Saturn.

People really don't understand Virtual Hydlide. It essentially invented the Soulslike genre and did Daggerfall a year before Daggerfall came out. This is the same s>>715845375
eries that invented Zelda after all. The reason it is hated is because gamers do not have a theory of mind when going into these games.

If Sega had just cancelled it for the dream cast it would of crushed the competition.

Maybe the dreamcast wouldn't have some of the features and it might have been a little less powerful but it would of probably have released in 1996.

Well that and the Hydlide games fucking suck. T&E soft should've stuck to golf games.

It just goes to show how you can not fuck up with your console.

Nobody actually enjoys playing a digitized fat man in cardboard armor at a blazing 8FPS. The fact the overworld can be randomized is neat, but the game is not.

Even the guy who made one of the best-looking Saturn games said the hardware was retarded.

> id Software — particularly John Carmack — insisted the Saturn port use the original software renderer. Rage Software was not allowed to optimize using Saturn’s hardware acceleration.

Outside of helping development on the Jaguar port, it's odd how detrimental id was to the console ports of Doom.

My favorite Saturn game is Elevator Action Returns. I wish they made more.

isn't that still just sega's fault? as the maker of the console, it's your job to make sure it's easy to develop games for it if you want third-party support

Rage Software were trash developers. One can only imagine how shit their early port looked.

in the early days 1st vs 3rd party weren't friends
sega/nintendo went by making money from people buying their games

even with dev tools as good as the ps1 it still would've been significantly weaker
>vdp1 is fucking awful. low fillrate, can't even do transparencies
>vdp2 is a gimmick that only works in certain games, worthless in everything else
>gte equivalent is supposed to be the scu, but it's total fucking garbage. sega tried to fix this absurd power gap with a second sh-2, even with this it's STILL slower so now you have something that's not only slower than the ps1 but more expensive and harder to develop for on top of that

sega actually did try to fix this problem and the saturn got actual dev tools after release, but it was too little too late.

EVERY 5th gen console was a nightmare to try and develop on, each in their own ways. Saturn and to a lesser degree N64 just got left on the wayside because there was less cash potential in working through the unique problems of the hardware to get your game to run.

Complex hardware adds friction, development cost and time. Same with Jaguar.
It might be worth to push through it, if there are a lot of consoles sold based on 1st party. But there weren't.
So no motivation for 3rd parties to commit. Hence VN shovel-ware the console.
