Here is a small demo of the next game that Rastersoft will be developing for the Atari Jaguar! Yes, people are still creating for it ;)
There is no sound and is limited, but is a great view into the future :D

Is there an update? It looks like it could be a really cool 2 player co-op beat'em up game where you escape from prison or something.

@xenomorpher No update. It seems the developer lost interest in developing for the Jaguar. I believe he sold most of his dev equipment.

@deadline27 SuperFX could never pull off Cybermorph, maybe the 32X could if it tried though. But it doesn't matter since Cybermorph was boring as fuck, good graphics or not.

@deadline27 ... continuing...

The jaguar could do some amazing things that you probably don't even realize. Check out my videos on some of those games I mentioned and you'll see.

The problem was not the system itself, but how it was largely untapped by developers. You can blame that on its lack of development tools provided from Atari.

Sorry that I came across harsh, but it's difficult educating so many people who come in and just say things like "jag is crap" without really knowing.

@deadline27 Well, some of those games came out later in the Jaguar's life, which happens with every console -- developers learn the system better and make cooler games. The Jaguar was obviously doomed by then, though.

Others were disappointed by the Jaguar, but it's important to realize it wasn't the "capabilities" of the Jaguar that brought it down -- it was management who chose to just do a bunch of ports from 16-bit machines.

i thought cybermorph actually looked like superfx graphics... never had battlemorph... iron soldier i had for some other system (can't remember) never even heard of zero 5. i may overstated how many games i had... AvP, club drive, checkered flag, kasumi ninja, ultra vortek, some motorcross game, raiden, cybermorph, tempest 2000, (fun) those are the ones i remember right off hand but i know there were more. i was just very disappointed with the "64 bit" capabilities of this "64 bit system"

[viMasterJag]

@deadline27 Nothing better than the SuperFX chip?! LOL! Now I'm dumbfounded...

Cybermorph, Battlemorph, Iron Soldier, Iron Soldier 2, Battlesphere, Zero 5, etc.

I can't believe you've never heard of those.

Out of those 30 titles, you didn't even have Cybermorph or Iron Soldier?! Both look YEARS beyond anything that was done with the SuperFX chip. The amount of colors onscreen ALONE outclasses it (of course, it should, since it's 64-bit.)

[deadline27]

i myself, am confused. i'm confused as to why i bought this system when it came out... purchased at least 30 games for it, and could not find one title that held my attention for more than a few seconds (save alien vs. predator) i am also confused as to why nobody ever gave a crap to use the so-called 64-bit system to create a game that even came close to looking like anything better than what the snes could do with the superFX chip. i'm not only confused by it, i'm dumbfounded.

[viMasterJag]

@deadline27 I'm confused... that isn't math at all.

Go troll elsewhere... and you might want to go back to remedial math.

[deadline27]

do the math... jag = shit.
