    Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast was a respectable jump to 3D.

      Oh yeah, PS and FF are MUST mentions... Moreso PS IMO as FF just kinda' followed (if not pioneered) the same formula that basically all JRPGs transitioned with- like Dragon Quest, Star Ocean etc. other than FF12 and 14 I don't think any JRPG franchise ever made an MMO (Grandia online? Sword Art Online went from MMO to 1pl JRPG though,,, I think I never played them ^.^) but PSO was the first (by a few years).

      Ehh, practically all the game plays essentially like it's 2d. Top down navigation over static pre-rendered backgrounds, a world map that you could recreate in 2d without losing anything. The combat has a camera that moves around in 3d to show of visuals, but, again it doesn't really affect game play. You could quite plausibly demake the game onto snes if the cartridges could hold more, and retain practically every game play element.

      The Sonic one is subjective. I got a Dreamcast and was super excited to get this game. And the thing just wouldn’t shut up and when you finally played it it was on rails mostly, with not much ease to explore like in Sonic 3. It had lovely graphics, but Sonic adventure was a turnoff for me for the franchise. The GBA sonic games of the era was where I could still like Sonic. 😅
      To be fair I just don’t think the original Sonic games can translate their flow to a 3D perspective as I haven’t seen any other 3D game capture it. And for story, all you need is Robotnik/Eggman made all the wildlife robots and you need to save your animal friends and then let level design and gameplay do the rest. Sonic adventure ruined this concept 😭

I think it's the first game I ever actually finished. I kinda suck at games. I was a huge Sonic fan at the time, you'd have thought I'd finished those, but no. I'd finished Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but, I'm pretty sure I took turns with my brother, I didn't do it on my own. I'd seen the end of many games, but mainly due to cheating. No I never finished Sonic 2. I did very nearly finish Sonic 2 & Knuckles but Knuckles' reduced jump height made the final boss near impossible. With Sonic, I'd never even reached the final boss without cheats, although I did beat the final boss with him many times. And with Sonic 1, that's even more true. Final Zone itself is easy but I just can't get that far in the game.

    2 things:
    1) Like everyone else, Metal Gear Solid was unbelievably amazing when it came out. It was a close as you could get to being in an action movie. Nostalgia says the graphics didn't look that bad, but they were softened by a CRT TV.
    2) My only experience with Outrun 2 was on the PSP when it came out and I played the crap out of it. My first home console was the Master System and Outrun was one of the games we had.
    Later at the Disney arcade in Florida, got to experience the 8 player arcade version and it was a lot of fun.
    Loved the outro skit too!

    Rayman first came to my mind.The first Rayman game is a fun 2D platformer ( that also makes me rage a lot ).
    Then they turned the series into 3D with the sequel, Rayman 2 The Great Escape followed by a third game Hoodlum Havoc, which is really good too ( both which are much forgiving ). Unfortunately, they scrapped Rayman 4 and the series went back to 2D style again.

This kept going up to Star Allies, with the 2.5D aesthetic. In 2022, we got Kirby and the Forgoten Land, which is the FIRST Kirby game fully in 3D, and it worked great ^_^

    At first I thought that Ninja Gaiden was one of the lesser faithful continuation of a 2D series in 3D, but after having finally finished NGB and NGII my opinion changed drastically.
    Those games share a lot in common with the NES trilogy when it comes to design philosophies, the fast paced action and the difficulty being the most obvious ones, but there is a lot more imo.
    The rhythm of the combat for example, flying swallow being a go-to technique that makes the game less combo-focused, and often more about landing a good hit at the right moment. Kind of like the jump-and-slash of the originals. There is also a lot of pretty cool platforming sections where Ryu grabs poles, runs on walls and sometimes has to deal with enemies placed more like obstacles than true encounters (usually they're not in great numbers and are easily dispatched once the player closes the gap, but they can still be a pain when navigating the level). The way Ryu jumps is a throwback too of course.
    Ninja Gaiden II especially feels very much like the originals because of its linearity, the variety of locals Ryu gets to visit, and the sheer insanity of some sections where rockets fly at him while a large number of enemies try to take him down.
    I must admit though that the games are lacking when it comes to cinematic flare, they had to live up to what the NES titles did at the time and kind of failed in this regard imo. These are still incredible games though!

    Another great episode, I was wondering if Duke Nukem 3D will count for this list. Also Jedi Knight 1 or 2. Lands of Lore did a good job with the 2nd game, Sonic for the Dreamcast, Mario Kart, as you mentioned F-ZERO, Final Fantasy VII, Elder Scroll, there are so many.

    • @FastTquick
      @FastTquick Před rokem

    • @3dmarth
      @3dmarth Před rokem

      Wasn't Jedi Knight always 3D? (Even if Dark Forces 1 technically might've used a 2D renderer like Doom.)
      I agree that Sonic Adventure was a great transition into 3D, for what it was. It's usually looked back on as a misstep, but that's mostly a result of retroactively judging _a clunky remaster of_ an older game for not meeting modern standards. Considering how well it translated the feel of 2D Sonic into 3D, and how ambitious it was- all this while launching alongside Ocarina of Time in 1998 (in Japan), I'd call it a success that just hasn't stood the test of time especially well. And it's not as if the likes of Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, or even Mario 64 have aged perfectly, either. But this debate will probably go on until the end of time. :P

      Opposite for me. The Gamecube version is FAR more immersive, because the Wii remote is one of the worst controllers ever made. While the Prime Trilogy had probably the "least shitty" Wii controls, it still uses the Wii controller, so it's meh.

    • @ravagingwolverine
      @ravagingwolverine Před rokem

      @@StormsparkPegasus I had the same experience. The controls for Prime on the Gamecube felt perfect to me. It felt like I was controlling the game directly with my mind. That's how immersive it was for me as well. Playing the third game with the remote, I was constantly reminded that I was playing a game and fighting with the remote in the process. Having to mime unlocking doors is one of many things that made the game less immersive to me rather than more. I know some people like the motion controls more and, while I don't agree, that's fine, but I really wish Nintendo had at least offered gamepad controls when they released the trilogy. Extremely disappointing that they took that away.

    • @StormsparkPegasus
      @StormsparkPegasus Před rokem

      @@ravagingwolverine Motion controls are inherently anti-immersion. They take the focus off of the game and being immersed in the world, and move the focus to the controller itself. It's really really dumb. The only relic of motion controls that I am ok with is optional gyroscopic aiming, for fine tuning. I had a Wii when it was current, but I was done with waving my arms around like an idiot instead of pressing a freaking button VERY quickly. I wasn't even able to force myself to finish Twilight Princess, because the gameplay was just so un-immersive. Gave it to a friend and got the Gamecube version.
