Oh no you didn't...
Let me correct this with another false-popular myth:
I was responding to what you said.....I was just saying that the game was designed for consoles in 2001 (we didn't have many FPS games on consoles, definitely not any super popular ones) and Halo is what opened that door and having slower movement on consoles in 2001 probably was a factor; so maybe that statement isn't entirely wrong?
Lots of buzzwords and utter nonsense. The Dual Shock came out in 1997, more than a year after the N64.
ROFLMAO
Having slower movement has nothing to do with consoles, most console shooters have faster movement. A lot of console games even before Halo have faster movement. I have never seen a single person explain why slower movement is necessary for consoles. Halo has slower movement because it has high TTK and was originally a real-time tactics game based on Myth. It would have slower movement even if Microsoft didn't buy Halo and made it Xbox exclusive. All the enemies and levels are designed around high TTK and slower movement, this is why you have vehicles in many levels and even levels entirely designed around vehicles.
It was?
The reason you did not see massive upgrade to the Xbox UI in Series S|X is because unlike the PS4, it has been massively overhauled multiple times.
It's a forum for chatting… irl I couldn't give a tinker's toot about peoples' opinions, especially about games… but online? I see somebody saying that Link's Awakening isn't a top five of all time? There's typing to be done.
Less Pokemon and more SMT dude.
I was just presenting a possible reason for why people make that statement about Halo (true or not). Now to actually address the point, before Halo was released on Xbox, how many popular FPS games did we have on consoles? I am not saying FPS games did not exist whatsoever....I don't recall there being many. Consoles just weren't the place to play FPS games.
Vandal Hearts on Saturn has a ton of transparency effects, but what you can you hope to know, since you haven't played the game ? A few effects might be missing, but remember the subject was that the Saturn was not able to do transparency at all according to you. Which is a blatant lie, of course.
This is proper transparency handled by VDP2. You are making wrong guesses, but what else can you do ? Since you don't know anything about the console...
Most of the time they did not bother trying to use the hardware correctly. Which doesn't mean the console can't do it.

If it was fast paced before becoming a Xbox game, why was all the talk around the use of vehicles?

Yes I haven't seen and played every single Saturn game in existence you fucking ass, only enough to at least understand the console clearly has issues with transparency. A "few effects" huh? Like the fucking transparency you spoke about as an example of Saturn transparency? Moron. Don't bring up shit examples.
No. You don't know how that effect was achieved or its limitations. And there's no reason to use transparency effects like that selectively in VH, but apparently even the developers didn't know anything about the console.
Ah ok. They "did not bother". Even Sega, who made the hardware, couldn't "bother" with transparency in games like Night or object fading in Daytona, possibly because it's tricky as shit and the effect is still quite limited with only 8 transparency levels, and only affecting background layers, as explained in the video up top. By the way, look at those lovely dithered shadows below Sonic and Tails, clearly that developer had no idea what he was doing.
Or, rather than being an ass, you could have show examples from the beginning instead of berating people.
Not even relevant. The discussion is about transparency and you being an irritable ass about it.
I see. Great arguments you have here.
Of course I do. You are simply ignorant of how the console works. Text windows are displayed using a layer of VDP2, and can be natively transparent.
Nights has transparency in many instances, especially the bosses. Daytona was a launch title. Background fade-in was implemented in many games using the various levels of transparency available for polygons over background, as seen in games such as Amok, Sonic R, Scorcher or Touge King Spirits to name a few.
Saturn cannot do transparency "natively".
Thanks.
Of course you keep conveniently ignoring its limitations and artifacts which everyone can easily see, and which are not present in the PS1. You literally cannot explain why even first party developers and people who had intimate knowledge of the hardware could only do transparency in a very limited fashion, can you?
You are trying very hard to flee in this direction, but I already put a reminder of your initial post. I never said that Saturn was the best console for transparency, nor that it was easy to implement.
Fair enough.
Havel's armor literally makes the game unloseable.
