Been playing the PSPgo quite a bit lately, mainly FFIX but I remembered that PSX titles on the PSPgo can output 240p via the component cables hooked up to a CRT. I usually have all my stuff hooked up to a primitive capture device with S-Video being the output. In this case I actually plugged the component cables into the TV.
Couple of things to keep in mind:
This is the OG 1996 release, I ripped my own disc and copied it over to the soft-modded PSPgo. This isn't a stealth brag thread, I genuinely want to help show how wonderful the pixel art is in this game. I also want to showcase how moody the game can be, it seems like everyone on YouTube has the brightness cranked to 11 while playing this game. Not all games are the same, get in there fuck around with the brightness, contrast, etc. Resident Evil has a ton of primitive "lighting" going on but you won't notice any of it if you're playing the game with awful video settings.
That being said, these photos are slightly darker than what my TV is displaying. I could adjust it in post but it's not that important. Mostly just wanted to show Jill's pixel art face.
Lastly, someone in the PSX vs N64 thread said that PSX games are ugly, regardless of which monitor that you play it on. SMDH, have we really forgot where we came from!?!?!?!?!?!
I hope some of you get a kick out of this.
(this one is kinda washed out, raised the brightness to help show the gore)
So yea, next time you play RE on the PSX or via an emulator, adjust the frigging video settings so it doesn't look like you're playing on the surface of the sun. Resident Evil still holds up flawlessly in terms of atmosphere and graphics. Yea the voice acting is bad but....
I'm tired of seeing the OG RE mostly viewed as some kind of joke. Screw that, it's one of the best games in the series and legit one of the greatest games ever made.
Happy gaming GAF!
