I don't know about how perfectly AVP emulates but the frame rate is the same with native consoles so i don't know why you mention emulation in the first place.

"Hey, i'm shit at programming so i made this game run at 10fps, also the code didn't write itself, i wrote it myself while sober so it was intentional. Thus, you can't criticize it"
Realistic? How is aiming with your thumb in a small radius realistic? Not to mention most shooters out there are very over the top, and very clearly game-y, even the ones that try their best to be authentic... and did the jaguar controller even have triggers?
Iron Soldier?
YES! That was it. Loved that shit then.
I played the game in 1994 and disliked it the same as i do now so nothing changed. I wish emulators would run it faster somehow to make it a better experience but it's the same bad frame rate so it's a pass from me. It doesn't even look that good for a 1994 game. The same plain shaped rooms and textures over and over. It's pretty average but you needed to be a gamer in 1994 to know.
As an aside I think you'll really enjoy reading the predator ps4 game thread:
Nope. It has an element of FPS (only for two Predator weapons and all Marine weapons) but it is not dedicated FPS or Doom clone as FPS games were called back in the day.
) agreed that AVP was a great game, with cutting edge graphics and gave it great scores. I personally think AVP even holds up today, but I don't hold up retro games to modern standards and can enjoy them for what they are.
There is no such thing as an open world genre. There are open world action-adventure games, open world RPGs, open world racing games, open world 3d shooters (Cybermorph, Battlemorph, Skyhammer on the Jag) etc. Just like the official Atari Jaguar Gamer's Guide states, along with numerous professional and fan reviewers, past and present, Alien vs Predator fits in the FPS genre. I'm a hardcore Atari Jaguar collector and gamer and have been discussing Atari Jaguar since 1993, and fans have always put AVP in the FPS genre. Saying AVP isn't a FPS first foremost is just denying reality and established norms. I've seen a few Atari Jaguar game lists over the years, that place AVP in the shooter genre or action-adventure genre, but the vast majority place it in the FPS genre. Yes, AVP plays different than Doom or Wolfenstein and has a heavy survival horror vibe, but it's still mainly fits in the FPS genre.
I love AVP on the Jag and it's one of my favorite games on the system. Most unbiased reviews at the time (fuck EGM
Here is an excellent review of AVP and guess what, he calls it and FPS right of the bat.. Lol.
The video game and Atari Jaguar community both on the professional side and the fan side have decided what constitutes a FPS and there are numerous reviews and web sites past and present that list AVP on the Atari Jaguar as being part of the FPS genre. You can deny reality all you want, but you're going to be on that hill all by yourself.
The Jag port of Rob. Req. is similar to the PC and 3DO ports, but the Jag pad keypad is utilized extremely well and makes it easier to play. But ya, you can get it on GOG for a few bucks.
There you go again, denying reality and creating your own warped version of it. Let me post a pic from the Official Jaguar's Gamer Guide, yet again. That simulation tidbit you keep desperately latching on to and referencing is part of the story of the game, not the genre/category of AVP.
Holy cow. This thread has been an absolute blast to read from time-to-time, but this comment here really takes the cake. You clearly care about what the manual says because the introduction states AVP is a “tactical simulator.” In fact, that is the only shred of evidence you have to support your claims. Every other person that has talked to you in this thread has brought insurmountable evidence to prove you wrong. All you have to back-up your claims in one sentence in the manual, which you just said “no one cares about.”
hey... I'm from a village too.

Bravo! Bravo, good sir!
This, and I hereby find the subject and debate officially resolved.
Never said it was a “dedicated” FPS. I don’t think anyone ever said that to you.
You can believe whatever you want but the council has spoken. It's a first person shooter.
This guy's IQ is.. below average. Several people pointed out this part of the manual is in-game lore. He still haven't got it. Not that it matters if he gets it. His stubbornness is pretty legendary.
He probably realises that in order to save face he has to be more stubborn and dig that hole even deeper. There is nothing that any of us can say for him to change his stance, he’s convinced of his own irrational ideas. What’s startling is that he thinks of all this as a competition and he wants to ‘win’. Bizarre behaviour.
No, this is what you’re talking about. You are the only one here that believes if a game is an FPS, it’s a carbon copy of Wolfenstein and Doom. Everyone else is just saying that AVP is an FPS. An FPS with several elements, sure, but an FPS nonetheless.
No this is incorrect. You have been disproven. Now good day sir.
Notice how all of his replies are basically this:

That’s the magical part. You don’t need to have lived in the 80s or 90s to know that Jag’s AVP is an FPS.
Wtf are you on about? How is any of this relevant here? (This is a rhetorical question, btw.)
