Could the Sega Saturn have ran Final Fantasy VII?

maybe

no

yeah

Learn to code and find out

The game is just a bunch of PNG's with very basic 3D models over them. Why wouldn't it be able to?

>>11844671
Can you provide the FF7 source code?

>>11844709
sent :)

>>11844616 (OP)
Yes. The N-Gage could also run it.

>>11844734
Would've saved the ngage. Ffvii/vii/viii

>>11844789
Vi*

>>11844616 (OP)
Can it run Crysis? No? Discarded. What a weak console

I don't think the Saturn could handle the fluid transition CG cutscene/gameplay like the PS1

>>11844662
Game?

who keeps making these threads and what are they trying to accomplish?

>>11844709
Buy the game or download the iso somewhere

>>11845396
Tetris

>>11845396
Yes, it's a game.

>>11845396
That's clearly Shining Force 3
>played Shining Force I and II on Genesis like God intended.

3D sequels past II are shit though

I suspect the movies might be lower quality but other than that I don't see any issue

The in-game movie transitions with the models overlaid probably would have been too much for the Saturn. The PS1 had built-in support for video decoding.

Maybe a Saturn with an MPEG card could do it but I have no idea how that interacts with the Saturn's native graphics so maybe still not possible.

FF7 does that? I can't recall. Anyway, just replace that by a full on FMV.

Use a computer like a real adult would and you'll find out

>>11845636
False. 3 is a good game.

>>11844616 (OP)
Rip out the awful 3D and replace it with nice 2D graphics, and yes it would have done excellently

>>11846260
It's the best game in the series and probably the best game I've played on Saturn

>>11844709
In some ways it feels like a 486 should be able to run it if it was ported well. The characters might have a lot of polygons but even 5 on screen should be nowhere near as much an area of Sega Rally.
You needed a really good computer to run it because the game displays backgrounds using flat polygons which is not really efficient for a pc of the time.
Deep fear actually has much better graphics but it was later and an early version of Heart of Darkness was shown.

>>11845387
it'd be a bit lower quality unless really uncompressed on the cd, also the transparencies possibly

>>11846249
So the game's intro where they seamlessly transition from the train CG to gameplay wouldn't be possible on Saturn?

>>11845481
Serious question, do you know what source code is?

>>11844616 (OP)
Yes. Next question?

>>11845396
Based retard

Story of my life

>>11844616 (OP)
no.
it could barely run Panzer Dragoon Saga.

>>11846901
Yes, and yet people have been able to port shit without original source code through recomps and shit, maybe op should stop sucking dick and start making an ffvii decomp

>>11844616 (OP)
the past participle of run is run

>>11845402
Can't have any discussion on this board oh my god, i fucking hate you (((people)))

>>11847974
Panzer dragoon saga was doing a whole lot more than what ff7 does. Like full vocal dialogue, 3d everything and so on.

>>11848407
How are we supposed to answer the question exactly?

>>11848418
>3d everything
there absolutely are billboarded trees/foliage.

>>11848784
Still rotatable assets.

>>11846250
>FF7 does that?
Several times. The intro sequence, shortly after naming Cloud where the view pans up, the explosion after escaping the reactor, the air buster exploding, the elevators in junon, FF7 made extensive use of it.

>>11849039
Damn for some reasons I never realized and I thought FF8 was the first to do that. I remember they did make a big deal of it in the FF8 marketing like with the Dollet beach landing sequence so I guess I've been a victim of marketing for 26 years
