What was the best looking PS1 game?

Super Mario or something. Don’t let this info get out though it’s secret. I’ll soon be silenced.

>>11864712 (OP)
Parasite Eve 2

Vagrant Story or Gran Turismo 2.

Threads of Fate

>>11864712 (OP)
either Oddysee or Exoddus

It's hard to say.

Omegaboost fires off beautiful particle effects and locks down at 30FPS and plays incredibly with sick bosses to contend with.
Terracon is a 25fps game (with drops) that blows out all sorts of lights and effects with big ass levels, vehicles and huge draw distance.
iS- Internal Section is a locked 60fps, 480i game with elegant and dense visuals. It's a visual treat along the lines of Rez.
Final Fantasy 9's battles may be the slowest in the PS1 trilogy but it's hard to deny how incredible its visuals are. The spells and summons are always a sight to behold.
Colony Wars is another gorgeous space game, those light trails are hypnotic and the battles always have this impression of being massive.
The racing games like Roll Cage Stage 2, Colin McRae Rally 2, Gran Turismo 2, even Crash Team Racing look excellent.

Genuinely hard to pick one.

Holy shit that looks awesome
Is it fun

>>11864816
Insanely fun. Lead programmer and game designer was the lead programmer for Panzer Dragoon Zwei and the rest of the staff worked on games like Armored Core and with mech designs by Shoji Kawamori. It's the best Polyphony Digital game ever.

>>11864724
It definitely is for 3D characters on pre-rendered background games on the system

Any of the Spyro games

>>11864712 (OP)
Marvel vs Capcom

Rayman

I would say ff9, even if it did cause the game to run slower.

>>11864712 (OP)
Lots of stuff. The console is absolutely full of random games people have never heard of that are basically cool looking tech demos with awful gameplay.
Stuff like:
Crime Killer
>Vehicle Combat on small open-world maps
>60fps
>dynamic and specular lighting everywhere
>never drops frames
Draw distance could be better, but it runs so much better than the engines people have heard of like GT2 and Colin McRae that it has to be seen to be believed.

Probably Chrono Cross to me

Why is the PS1 the only console with kino Looney Tunes games on it? The bugs bunny time travel game is kino too.

>no mention of Ridge Racer 4
It's one the best looking games on the system

>>11864872
This is from a map viewer, isn't it?
I want a pc port of the originals so bad.

>>11864712 (OP)
Dino Crisis, no question.

>>11865145
>The bugs bunny time travel game
which of the two

>>11865184
I haven't played the second one, but I remember the first one having a badass 1930s gangster level that was like one of the 3D Gex movie themed levels, but way better.

Not obvious on screenshots but Terracon has constant texture popping. I also stumbled on glitches or oversights that made me re-do a stage several times.

Sadly I didn't make native res screenshots for Brightis but it also looks really good

>>11865295
The wilderness is the best part

>>11864872
The best look Spyro game is Muppet Monster Adventure

Been replaying Vagrant story a few days ago

I regularly switched to first-person view to see all the details.

What a gorgeous game

Regardless of how you feel about the game itself, in terms of pure 2D art Legend of Mana is way up there

>>11865297
really underrated game.

>>11864872
It’s hard to beat Spyro for best presentation/graphics. They really used every method they could to get the most out of the PlayStation.


For games going for a “realistic” look, I think Vagrant Story is as close as you can get to “ps2 on ps1”.
