Well watch a video of someone playing MGS or Overblood or something and watch what happens to what would presumably be straight lines in the textures.

Like what's popping up in my mind is for example rail track textures in OverBlood 2 get all jagged as you walk along them, or the rectangular panels on the walls in MGS or whatever.

It's called "affine" texture mapping: It's a cheapo texture mapping technique where the polygons don't care about depth and it goes to poo poo whenever you hit sharp angles. And man does it look crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyYEGdGwnFs It brings me back to Tenchu real bad

I really like the lo-fi look of early 3D games, of course when they have good art direction.

Early 3d games had a thing going where they'd make every room into little dioramas instead of trying to glue every seam together and hope nobody would notice. I really miss those. Captain Toad looks like it gets it and it's going to kick rear end

psx games look way better than n64 games cause the crappy texture mapping and resolution makes those games endearingly bad imo. n64 games just look bad

I miss when people in games were essentially those artist's reference dolls waving their huge oven mitt hands around and bobbing their ghoulish unmoving face masks around to talk

this thread reminds me that fx fighter (bless) on the pc actually had a toggle for enabling/disabling perspective-correct texturing, so you could have the psx/saturn experience on your pc if you wanted to (also if you just had a slow system and wanted to squeeze out a few more frames a second i guess) EDIT: oh regarding graphical quirks i'm kinda sorta fond of old-fashioned vertex lighting, which tended to look kind of weird since i think it just detected which polygons were supposed to be lit and then lit them up completely, so if there was a moving light source everything would be unevenly lit and you'd basically see bright triangles appear and disappear Sombrerotron fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Nov 1, 2014 |

Here's what Super Mario 64 would look like without texture filtering or perspective correction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuH7RDIDZN4&t=59s  It's not quite as bad on actual PS1 games since every surface would be divided into tiles, so only the ones at the border of the screen would be noticeably bad. The DS and Sega Saturn didn't have texture filtering, but they did have perspective correction. There's also a bit on why PS1 games look so bad here, any why emulators can only kinda get around them.

Wait, people liked texture distortion? I couldn't stand it back in the day, even Saturn with its haphazard 3D handled it better than the PSX.

Its funny last year there was some posts in an emu thread about wondering how long it was gonna be till people wax nostalgic for ps1 weirdo texture stuff. It does look pretty neato tbh but I'm glad its gone

Affine texture mapping is nauseating, but aliased textures are extremely good, as this gif demonstrates
