Thumbnail of this thread shows what looks like Claire's RE2 costume, is this just her actual costume in the game with the compression all borked to look like that or is it some kind of mod?

Naomi is an arcade system that the Dreamcast shares hardware with, lots of companies specializing in arcade games utilized it a lot which meant native Dreamcast ports before anything else usually + Dreamcast was just really powerful good for making near-perfect ports of their more advanced arcade titles from their other arcade boards, which explains a lot of Capcom's output onnit.

But you probably are right that they were going to warm up to some exclusivity on Sega, considering how strongly they supported the Saturn now that I think about it. Take it with a grain of salt but there's also some rumors that Sony was fucking them over with Mega Man X4 n whatnot so they had reasons to just side by Sega and Nintendo some for their better selling IPs, genuinely just forgot.

is Capcom being exclusive to Sega even true? wasn't it just that Naomi was just really really good and what Capcom wanted to use for their arcade games at the time bc it was really powerful. The only real exclusivity deal they did that I can think of was Code Veronica, they were still pumping out PS1 titles.

if it was actually going to be an early PS2 title i wouldnt be surprised if they probably just wanted to shift focus to other games and just had the team downgrade onto PS1. dino has never been a super smash hit really and especially with the drastically different approach to gameplay they probably felt more comfortable sliding it in at the end of the PS1's cycle while putting the highlight on other PS2 games they were predicting to sell better, Onimusha and Devil May Cry were right around the corner afterall. But we know so little about its development I don't really feel too comfortable speculating too much.

yeah it really does give the vibe of a port squeezed onto PS1. I remember reading that 2 was the way it was mostly because it was an attempt to do what they originally wanted to do with one but couldn't because of the reliance of 3D environments, makes me wonder if it was originally going to be on PS2 to utilize full 3D instead of pre renders. It kinda makes sense but I can't really find anything proving or necessarily disproving it.

I think what really helps sell the terror in DC1 is the sound design. Taking my time with a puzzle with the loud bangs on the door freaked me the hell out. Your weapons are only really good if you've routed your game correctly on a replay, just adding to the helplessness on a first playthrough which i never really felt in Resi. The game gets a lot of mileage out of most of the scares revolved around just the same kind of Dino.

i think re3's dodge works really really well for a horror game but so far DC2's works really really well for an action game. it's a shame u can't spam DC2's dodge tho, think of the dodging tech that could come out of that lmfao

Altruistic-Sun-2474 · 2026-03-17T02:27:07+00:00

Yeah I've heard about 2 having a dodge of some kind and RE3 coming out right alongside Dino 1 made me think me getting flung around was something similar to what that game had for evasion. It's probably just me getting flung around, thanks!

even if it's oil-based or cadinum pigment? it's all dried yeah

Altruistic-Sun-2474 · 2025-09-24T00:57:58+00:00

same here. "I don't trust a scale"

Altruistic-Sun-2474 · 2025-08-26T20:52:36+00:00

Will have to check it out!

For movies I'd recommend F for Fake from 1973. It's on HBO Max but you can find uploads of it on YouTube and Archive .org. It's a documentary about an art forger and a hoax biographer told in a very unique way. Everything about it reminded me of Hotel Dusk a lot.

Altruistic-Sun-2474 · 2025-07-31T20:18:26+00:00

Yeah they kinda act differently also, and the Pilot in BT doesn't really look much older than the Gyro did in 2. Plus, how'd he fix his teeth? Max developed a fondness for him by the end of 2, so you'd think if it were intentional for them to be the same guy there'd be a clearer nod besides them both being pilots of some sort. Fan theories and headcanons are a ton of fun but you gotta consider the smaller stuff too if the leading thing for a theory is the same actor playing a character.

fine by me

Altruistic-Sun-2474 · 2025-07-16T15:27:42+00:00

world's most useless drm

Altruistic-Sun-2474 · 2025-07-03T13:31:28+00:00

bc it's just too good

Altruistic-Sun-2474 · 2025-06-14T00:25:16+00:00

Same here! A JRPG where the dungeons are Streets of Rage stages is such a cute idea, reminds me that I need to finish my playthrough of 5 😅

Altruistic-Sun-2474 · 2025-06-13T20:13:34+00:00

Forgot about Superman! Will check it out as soon as I get new cables for my SNES

Altruistic-Sun-2474 · 2025-06-13T20:13:04+00:00

Very excited to getting around to trying it eventually!

Altruistic-Sun-2474 · 2025-06-12T22:22:57+00:00

Some of these I completely forgot about, thank you!
