Why did the SOTN giant floating skull not look as good as this?
Similar to how in Mortal Kombat II, Liu Kang's dragon fatality looks amazing but in MK3 his animality looks cheap and has that weird outline

As I said it looks cheaper and has that weird outline. Somehow the Super Nintendo one looks more impressive, transparency looks better too.

SNES transparency is inaccurate and difficult to use as it is relegated to a single layer at a time, compared the PS1 which could easily overlap many layers of transparent textures and polygons.

Look at the protagonists. One looks like Conan the Barbarian wearing some plate mail, and the other is a pretty looking nobleman.
The aesthetics of the rest of the game were changed to match. A sad looking pagan skull for the Conan protagonist, and a "Hell fucking Yeah Motherfucker" looking spectral skull for the game with a prettier aesthetic.

Second one is he-man clone

You like Castlevania, don't you?

>>11791095
I know, and yet the transparency effect somehow looks more impressive on the SNES one, the SOTN one is barely transparent. And the thick outline thing is still there.
I guess it's just an artistic choice, I just thought that skull wasn't as good looking as it could have been.

>>11791004 (OP)
Konami's talent had left and moved to Treasure by the time SOTN came out.

>>11792041
Yes, I like all 3Dvania. Avoid atheist capeshit and pajeet fanfic like a plague.

>>11792720
Based. Lament is genuinely a good game, gets too much hate for "being a DMC clone" as if being a DMC clone was a bad thing, and also DMC3 got a few ideas from Lament actually.
And yeah I've been a CV fan since the 90s, I never cared to watch a single trailer of the pajeet shit, that's not Castlevania.

Not sure when I'll ever talk about this, so...anyone have any idea why this is one of the only PSX enemy sprites that changed in the Saturn version? Is there a tech reason?
(Also, the boss arena nearby has the moon in the background blood-red on Saturn. It's inconsistent with the rest of the area but it's arguably better since it makes projectiles easier to see, still such a minor graphical change though.)

>>11792989
From the look of it, they had to go with dull dithering over the ethereal glow, but as for the eye color, I have no earthly idea.

>>11792989
>Is there a tech reason?
Saturn does not have the ability to do hardware transparencies, so they dither it instead.
When viewed on a CRT it looks mostly fine, but looks meh on LCDs.

>>11793024
>Saturn does not have the ability to do hardware transparencies
It absolutely does have the ability, but it's limited in its use and application. In fact, the new Specter enemies in the cursed prison are actually transparent

This is now a Maria thread!

>>11792989
sotn saturn devs found transparencies hard to do on saturn hardware, among other things.
autists years later proved it was possible.

Ugh. I'd rather Mortal Kockbate.

>>11794665
Ofc. Just wait until The Autist Force crams a port up a ftp pipe somewhere. Probably will release around the time the Vitual Boy gets the Gameboy Advance Igavania trilogy.

Looks heavy metal/sword and sorcery

Not every board here is an anime board, I only like anime pre 2010s anyway. It stopped being counter culture in the 2010s and I stopped liking it, and I only post on boards where anime is not a topic.

>>11796001
What about the SOTN skull looks "anime"?

>>11793024
>Saturn does not have the ability to do hardware transparencies
But it can, it just has a lot of limitations
You can do transparency between sprites/polygons with VDP1, but it takes 6 times longer to draw and you can't also do transparency with VDP2 layers at the same time (pic related: the pink bubble appears transparent in front of the terrain but not in front of the VDP2 background layer)

>>11793024
>>11796230
You can also do transparency between VDP2 layers pretty much for free, but the problem is that VDP2 receives everything drawn by VDP1 (sprites/polygons) as a single layer, so you can't do transparency between VDP1 objects

>>11796231
Does run on N64?
