SNES Voxel Landscape Demo (Super FX)

[PabloFernando222]

Nintendo used to be superior in Snes era!

[Tiztu]

yes, it looks exactly like comanche!

[archon808]

Wow that image shear is totally unacceptable !!!

[vxbinaca]

@archon808 to whom?

[archon808]

@vxbinaca To anyone who likes *not* having a headache. Do you even know what image shear is? Im guessing no.

@h8s2 It's all being rendered by the Super FX 2 DSP (or emulated version of such). ;) The SNES's CPU is WAY too slow to manage all that. (if they were smart, they'd have used mode 7 to render to -just a flat mode 7 plane, not used for mode 7 effects- since mode 7 used packed pixels -easier to render with- and had the hardware scaling ability so you could easily use a low res but keep a larger window -Wolf3D and the 3D Toy Story Stage on the SNES do exactly that, Doom doesn't for some reason)

@h8s2 Actually the snes had sprite scaling and rotation, so this is definitely possible.

[AndrewDaniele87]

@h8s2 some developer should make a voxel game and see if they can license it by nintendo, i can't see why it's not possible to license new games anymore, that'd be awesome if they just start making snes games again lol

@AndrewDaniele87

Do you understand how much money is involved in making a game?

First you have a license.

Then you have to buy the (blank) ROMs and the carts (both of which by license had to be provided by Nintendo, and neither do they make anymore.)

Pay the game designers.

Pay for cover art/box art (if they are different.)

Pay to have boxes done.

Pay for manuals to be printed.

Pay for the equipment to actually make it (SNES dev kit,)

All for a game that won't sell. They would lose money.

@Draknfyre look up nightmare busters, its a new game coming out for snes..

[Draknfyre]

@AndrewDaniele87

And it's not done by a major company. Nor is it an official release. People still release Atari games.

You said "some developer", and sounded like you meant official.

Pretty impressive.

[MicroChirp]

This is impressive!

[johneymute]

they said the superfx cannot handle full screensize 3d graphics so but only in a smaller window,but think again cuzz the snes can stretch it just to fit into full screensize wich even looks like it runs faster,wow.

annyway amezing graphics.

[nooblet911]

this is possible on the snes with the 2nd gen super fx chip which was a in-cart 3d accelerator chip running at 22 mhz (10 mhz in the original version)

[Quartrez]

This is very impressive.

[itsGeorgeAgain]

Amazing, especially taking into account that its the SNES we are talking about.

And voxels ain't mode 7 ;)

[Durogore]
