Also for the vast majority of the rooms, the 3d effect is soooo subtle, it will hardly be noticable if median size caracters are used (not too big, not too small). You would definitely notice this if compared side to side with the original but if taken alone you wouldn't be able to tell the difference (believe me). Also each room, especially big ones, don't give the player huge space to roam. Often the perspective changes after you take a few steps, which means that within those few steps the 3d effect is indeed minimal not to be noticable if missing. And corridors where the camera is too low and the characters become quite larger or smaller because of perspective usually contain zero enemies, so you could fit -theoretically- different sizes of the prerendered character without the need to use any real time sprite scaling (which could be a legit solution but for more powerful cpus). The obvious problem that many rooms contain sub sections with different angles/perspectives can also be bypassed if you reload the required set of gfx for each section. The only real issue here from section to section (and again regarded RAM poses no problem for each individual one) would be the loading times. It will probably be like opening a door in the original game every few steps which can indeed be ultra furstrating! But then again, with some clever optimisation you could still pack perhaps a few sub-sections together to minimise excessive loading. Overall, while I know the issues, I wouldn't rule out the possibility. If a tech demo could be done and run as intended, perhaps (and with the right compromises) the full game could also be possible, even if this practically means occupying like... 4gb on your miggy's HD Generally the technicalities are not the main factor here (and elsewhere). Work hours and relevance are. I'd pretty much preffer spending my time making new games instead (while from time to time some exercise with ports or demos is welcome) Quote:
Neither am I. Would love to see a demo though. Perhaps this could be inspiring or useful to someone after all. Last edited by Tsak; 16 October 2017 at 03:31. |

Hello
I dont see the point to remake "Resident evil" as a 2D game : certainly your coding skills would be better utilized to improve FPSE speed :-) I mean in FPSE the gpuw3d plugin (as it use the fast W3D_DrawElements() function) can draw a whole 3D mesh in a call So certainly it isnt the (Warp3d) 3D rendering that is the bottleneck in FPSE for Amiga (especially for the simple/low 3D meshes of "Resident evil") Of course a fast FPSE will still need a 3D card but as the Playstation had a builtin gpu it will not deshonoring...

Surly with these alterations and omissions an Amiga version of Resident Evil, is even more possible? I always admire those that push the boundaries of what can and cannot be accomplished. Myst < was way ahead of its time as was STARDUST with its 3D like asteroids and tunnels. Team 17 was and still is my favourite software house on the Amiga. They always broke many boundaries and offered excellent titles. In fact I do not think they ever released a non worthy title. The Amiga keeps showing that it can move with the times with more and more technological upgrades being offered. Now is the time more than ever for coders/programmers to show what can still be possible with Amiga.<Even when most think, it simply cannot be done! |

I am surprised no one mentioned this:
[ Show youtube player ] Unfortunately it was cancelled, but first time I saw I was really gobsmacked. If a game boy color can do it, I'd guess a stock Amiga also could do it? Anyway, like it has been said, it's a lot of work, not feasable for a hobbyst job. |

I believe this style should suit best an Amiga without 3D

I have seen recently pictures of a megadrive russian homebrew that tries to recreate RE in isometric format; ok is not the most cutting edge technology but a good use of color, pictures and soundtrack can help build atmosphere even on a classic machine. AND is different enough that a change of name should help not have problems.
I tried to brainstorm a similar approach for a Dead Space demake, or even a Silent Hill one... Resident Evil - Demo'd on the Sega MegaDrive / Genesis! |

Resident Evil works very fine in my X5000 ( even, I limit the speed ) with FPSE.

Yes FPSE allow to play to hundreds of coools games including 3d ones ... sadly no one seems to knows that FPSE exists
Same apply for Final Burn Alpha from HunoPPC on AmigaNG... no one seems to knows that this emulator exists Last edited by DH; 17 November 2017 at 13:34. Reason: Deleted direct signature |

This is another game I would LOVE to see on the Amiga, come on guys you can do it! 040 @ 25mhz should be enough easily to match PS1 in raw power, plus Amiga chipset can always create some magic to do the impossible with the right programming

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and speculate that this will not happen.

Mentioned this before with zero interest generated... any Amiga capable of running Quake can also run this:

As far as i know there is no 50 Mhz 68040. The CPU is incapable of going more than 40Mhz. All thread is just speculation. From what i remember back at the time, even PCs were not good enough to compete with Playstation 1. There was even a quote "upgrade your PC, switch to a Playstation".

Yes, but Quake mods are not difficult to run on a (properly equipped) Amiga. Porting a game with no source to work from, written for hardware that the Amiga cannot match in any classic incarnation is a whole order of magnitude harder than the iD engine.
