Loved this game, I can still hear the weird scratchy sound effects
The subtle animations on this are great
Yeah, it’s interesting. If I’m not mistaken, the fire is animated as usual, frame by frame, but the characters breathing is done by fading between 2 frames, right?
Kinda looks like the abdomen animation creating the illusion of breathing is hand drawn, while the arms + weapon is indeed just fading between two frames
The right hand of the woman flexing: D
Makes you wish Sega would stop neglecting their other franchises.
This is the greatest gaming tragedy in my mind as Sega games had huge creativity and didn’t take themselves seriously…
Thankfully, some Independant developers are starting to pick up things where they left it, games like bombrush cyberfunk are incredible… Good thing they gave the license for SOR4 too. I see some games like Dave the diver like one Sega could have developed on Saturn/Dreamcast too with its chill atmosphere and crazy mini games.
I miss the days of equal opportunity objectification.
Damn you, Conan the Barbarian. Damn you for not appealing to the youths.
