looks like it, though it's unclear if the band changed its name or just let her use the name as well.

These look incredible for PS1. They baked all of the shadows right into the textures.

they'd have to invent half the game though, the hour of scrolling text filling in (like 40% of) the story they didn't have time to make would fly even worse today. it was extremely good though, so maybe that would be worth doing.

i have fond memories of that weird ps1 texture thing - it was loving cool - it was like the texture was constantly moving and being weird but the pixel aesthetic was nice in its crudeness

as i understand it that basically happened to conserve processing power

the reason i know this is because fx fighter on the pc had a setting ("perspective-correct texturing" or summat) that when disabled improved performance, but resulted in the same phenomenon of textures warping whenever a polygon shifted position in respect to the camera

Its because of the non-floating point precision applied to textures, causing them to move around depending on :math:

it gave Soul Reaver 1 a very eery feeling and i think helped cement it as one of my most beloved games. the voice acting just elevated it even further. but it gave the creepy world life.

the ps1's rasterizer not implementing the perspective calculation at all did not help either

Former PS1 programmer here: It's because perspective correct texture maps involve a divide operation per-pixel, which was too expensive for PS1 hardware at the time. To reduce the "texture swimming" effect, you had to break a larger polygon up into smaller ones and remap the UVs, which was expensive, but nowhere near as expensive as full perspective correct textures.

I thought it was that the PS1 used affine mapping, where each polygon has the texture linearly interpolated across its surface instead of using a perspective calculation. So the textures are broadly perspective correct across the scene, but each individual polygon is wrong.

Is that basically what you're talking about but on a pixel level?

Also the drawing on the Wikipedia affine mapping page is wrong.

E: huh, how about that, they changed it and now it's correct. I complained about it before in the Wikipedia thread here, so maybe that dragonflysixtyseven buzzkill is good for something
