Darc Requiem said: Kylie Dog you are completely full of it. The only thing that was better on PS1 was the FMV. You seem to be the only one saying different. I compared both games side by side on the same TV when I bought the N64 version. I didn't think it was possible for them to squeeze a two CD game in a cartridge at the time and aside from the FMV the N64 version was clearly superior graphically. They didn't upscale the backgrounds either, the original backgrounds were rendered at a higher resolution and then down scaled to 320x240. Since they had access to the original game assets for the port they redid them at 640x480.
The only one full of it is you. They were upscaled from the PS1 game. If you want to see real improved background resolution look at the DC version of RE2.
N64 only looked better if you had the 4 meg add on cart. Possibly you didn't have this?
I played through every version of RE2 out there and N64 does look a bit smoother than PS1... PC version beats all but looks funny as hell when the model resolution is 1024x768 and backgrounds are still 640x480 lol.
I had the expansion pack and I already acknowledged there are less jaggies than on the PS1 on the character models due to the bluring technique used. His claim they recreated the backgrounds in higher resolution is just false though, they were upscaled.
Keep backsliding Kylie, maybe you'll eventually admit you were wrong in five or six posts.
What is this backsliding nonsense. You're posting bullshit and I'm correcting you.
I mean its not like I own every single RE game, that I own every single port of every game including in several cases the same game on the same system but just different region versions too, giving me no reason to have any bias against one version in any way at all and so no reason to post incorrect facts.
Oh wait...the above is perfectly true.
Why is it that you are the only one arguing about the graphical fidelity of RE2 on N64 then? I've been on this forum for a while. You post BS and you'll have several people calling you out. I don't see anyone disagreeing with me, but they seem to be disagreeing with you.
As for the topic, I don't think this game will count since the Neo Geo is a console the proceeding generation but I'll post it anyway. Art of Fighting 3. AoF3 has the smoothest animation of any Neo Geo fighting game I've played. When you combine that with the large size of the character sprite and the surprisingly well animated backgrounds, you get arguably the best looking 2D fighting game prior to Blaz Blue.
