Obviously further optimizing is the way to go to get the most graphically impressive version we can while maintaining steady frames.Īnd now from ians experience ( video) is running same quality models with optimized textures even faster, even with third person mode on. I was only stating from my experience playing it.

But just saying that I seen first hand how much faster the game ran with the lower quality PC stuff. Anyways, those versions unfortunately were lost due to time and nobody backed them up. It actually even a bit worse but was cool seeing the PS2 assets on DC. The same person who already did that mod, did a version where it swapped to the PS2 assets just dicking around.

Want that instead of optimizing? No, I mentioned another mod that somebody already did back in the day over at Assembler games where they actually did the asset swap with only PC content, as a proof of concept and it ran really well due to the lighter models and textures. So you want to downgrade it to the crappy old geaphics instead of optimizing it?Ĭloofoofoo wrote:So you want to downgrade it to the crappy old geaphics instead of optimizing it? Despite all the putdown, i showed a screen shot where they actually added lighting to sega rally 2 compared to the model 3 version. Probably the biggest game it had was sega rally 2. Unfortunately if you havent noticed wince just didnt get those big games with good developers. The same same katana demos youve seen are also running on wince and at the same speed.

The docs even tell you can reduce to sound, 3d, controller input if you so wish. The whole wince memory thing is a myth, you can strip out components as needed to make a smaller binary. These were not noobs and werent new to dreamcast. Not to mention these guys made tools for the official sdk, they created ginsu for sega. You do know captivation was using dc hardware since set2 and even created the tech demos in an earlier series of it.( all those tech demos you saw in magazines was them). Perhaps we need another version of that ported over? The game runs INFINITELY smoother and stable with the HL PC original assets from 98 modded in. Gearbox eventually had to take over the project fully and they just decided to use their updated models on the PC version but did not optimize as well as they could or should.

So while they did optimize some stuff, it was Windows CE, known for being a memory hog in games on DC due to overhead having to run the OS first, then game code.

This in turn made them have to scrap the old version and start back over from scratch and loose out on a lot of backtracking. They also half way in development dropped a katana SDK build of the game and decided to make a quick port of the Windows version to Windows CE instead.
