If you'd want to do special audio games Rez and Final Fantasy XII have amazing soundtracks on optical audio. The sound design on FFXII is low key spot on and is a breezy and enjoyable 30 hr play. Rez of course was revolutionary at the time and was one of the best artistic presentations on ps2.
I'm not sure if these have been covered but Alien Resurrection on the PS must be pushing the system to its limits, Radiant Silvergun must pushing Saturn very hard. I've also thought that Virtual On 2 on the DC must be pushing the system really hard. I near perfect Model 3 Step 2 port with no slowdown and amazing particle effects. It gets little credit but Last Brox must be really pushing the Saturn too with its High Res graphics, high polygon characters motion blur on the weapons, 3D rings and brilliant use of the VDP2 for the backgrounds.
@Lassi Kinnunen 81 Second this. The C64 were amazing even in wireframe but the Amiga version was so good it made me sway in my seat with the vehicle orientation.
That's a brilliant idea! Sadly I think a lot of early MD games would fall into 'worse', being Arcade ports they're often quite unfair, for example I couldn't recommend Altered Beast to anyone who wasn't there at the time.
As the obligatory explanation goes on quad desert fury, voxels are by definition a pixel that has volume to it as if it were a 3d object. Now there are multiple ways on rendering a voxel, but in this case on whats being done. Is that it takes a black and white 2d image of the map that tells how low or high the pixel should be based on the shade used to define the height, black being lowest and white being highest. And the way you render that map is similar to raycasting in the fact that you draw what you see line by line. Only this time, it not only has to calculate the distance of the pixel from the player, but also the height of the pixel and how high/low you are on the playfield. And its draw from the farthest point of your render distance all the way to the front. As there is no z buffer, all calculations have to be precisely written in timing with the screen. Of course there are limitations to this method as depending on the system colors, it will also affect the various heights a pixel can be. And the whole image is still a 2d image as its still a raycasting algorithm, so if you played duke nukem without 3d acceleration, you see what happens to the image. And coincidentally, I was studying this concept a couple days before this video, so there you go.
That's funny how voxels, not having a z buffer, still end up looking less janky than many PS1 games (the PS1 lacking a hardware z buffer as well) in terms of "inappropriate bouncing" and distortion. I guess voxels have it easy, being cube-ish and not polygons
I hadn't watched game sack regularly since 4 years ago...I was stunned to see them under a million subs today! I basically left this same comment on a different video earlier today.
They're not voxels then surely because they are less like cubes and more like squarish blobs. I'm sure I have seen them in Amiga demos and Amok for Sega Saturn. Look damn good whatever they are. Hopefully, somebody who knows more can set me straight.
@@nicholasthetaylor that looks like a heightmap, as in the games Comanche or Outcast. They use a heightmap and a colormap and project it with raycasting. One of the earliest games to use this was Rescue On Fractalus.
@@rudolfrieder186 Yeah, back then, Comanche wouldn't have been possible with textures polygons. By using voxels, they made sure, all the hills and ridges were looking organic. I still have the unused mission disk here.
@@nicholasthetaylor Minecraft stores its maps as voxels but renders with cubic polygons, though that helps show what voxels really are: They're essentially a static particle effect set to a 3D map. Particles are known to the computers as zero-dimensional points (no length, width, or depth, just a point) in a 3D space, and then those points are given depth by applying a 2D image or 3D shape to them. Voxels often have cubes as their render application cause they look similar to pixels (though pixels are also zero-dimensional points but in 2D space, and they only appear square due to how the screen renders them - they could have looked triangular if screens rendered the pixels as such). With that in mind, the game rendered them as squarish blobs due to applying a simple 2D single-coloured square to each of those points. The reason for using voxels there is because in those days you couldn't get natural-looking curves in a landscape, they'd have to be very triangular polygon maps - a voxel map, however, dramatically increases the detail you can have. Not really used any more cause we can put the sheer amount of polygons needed now, though there are experiments like Teardown that use voxels to add internal volume to 3D objects where polygons only really display an empty shell. Funny how they're always used to work around the limitations of polygons.
That's one of the great things about the Game Hut channel: you get to see all the details of how Traveller's Tales managed to get all those effects working without custom hardware.
wouldn't be surprised if it was somewhat similar with algorithms, Sega did alot of really cool FX in their arcade games back in the day. They knew their hardware even if it lacked in certain ways.
@@MizfitZer0 Well...she was the closest actress to an actual cave-woman ;) Honestly, though, did they even look at Jennifer Tilly back in 94? A gorgeous brunette who had that Betty Rubble-ish voice. Just sayin; it's a no brainer.
As a brazilian, I'm always impressed when you guys cover some Tec Toys games for the Master System or the Genesis (Tec Toy was huge back in the day and single handed responsible for the Sega consoles popularity around here), but I have to say that seeing Show do Milhão here made me smile. Awesome episode, as usual.
Dude Zero Tolerance! ALMOST beat this game like 8 times in the day lol one of my favs great atmosphere great voice samples great game play special strike and strafe commands really made it for me
Love the humour in game sack videos. It's what separates it from a million similar channels on RUclips. And the only one ive been watching consistently for many years. His humour is just on my (sometimes abstract, sometimes just plain daft...) level.
I've never seen those Jurassic Park games on the Genesis. I had the first one that wasn't nearly that impressive. But by far the most impressive aspect of this video is Joe talking about a Sonic game without saying something negative about Sonic. Good going, Joe!
15:05 I remember that Prehistorik Man for the Super Nintendo has a few effects similar to that one, mainly on some bosses The Game Boy adaptation of that game would be interesting for a future episode, is really impressive
Yeah, the ice level in Prehistorik Man does that for the floating ice. But there's a game that does the exact same effect as Pugsy, "Time Trax" for SNES. The helicopter level has some really smooth rotation using column scrolling. I think is more impressive than Pugsy actually.
As for the subject of Volumetric Pixels, I believe that a pretty on-the-nose answer was given already in that it's a point in a 3D Space that gets filled with a pixel. Where as polygonal graphics draw in based on the verticies, voxels are just filled in based on putting a volumetric cube based on a grid the computer is calculating and fitting those together to simulate the volume of an object graphically. most of the time, it's used for medical and scientific charts that need a third axis to record their data graphically. the first real examples I can think of for Voxels being used for video game graphics were in Ken Silverman's Build Engine, wherein pickups in games like Blood and Shadow Warrior were voxels (because the build engine certainly wasn't going to render polygons for that!) although some of the command & Conquer RTS games also used voxel landscapes and such, and 3D DOt Game Heroes got much of it's aesthetic by being an entirely voxel based game.
I remember playing The Lost World on SEGA Channel when it came out and I never got far enough to see those scrolling stages. Holy crap, that is some impressive work they put into it, I can't help but feel like there's some demoscene trickery and influences going on there.
8:45 It actually makes sense that there'd be more Genesis games in a video like this. When you look at games like that playing on the Genesis, you go, "whoa!" But that sort of thing is normal on the Super NES. Nobody would bat an eye if they saw those graphics on the Super NES. Genisisn't what NintenDO.
I think this might be my favorite series on Game Sack. Just very interesting to see how far the consoles can be pushed. The Jurassic Park games on Genesis was very impressive.
As a Brazilian fan of Game Sack, I'm happy to help with research if you ever need help with TecToy games released in Brazil. I grew up playing them and Portuguese is my first language so can definitely help.
Great video as always Joe. There's a channel called "Coding Secrets", and the guy who runs the channel was a developer (i think lead developer) of a lot of 16-bit Genesis games. He has tons of videos showcasing how they did some really cool stuff on genesis. He explains why everytime you "hit" the Sonic 3D cartridge it redirects you to the level select screen, how they made some "impossible" stuff on Sonic 3D, Toy Story, Lion King and the list goes on.
When Joe said... There's another Genesis game from Brazil, and Duke Nukem 3D already shown, I was sure that he was going to present Show do Milhão 🤣🤣🤣 Joe needed to make a better ressearch about that, 'cause Silvio Santos is in there!
Great video. If anyone wants to get into deeper detail about how some of these games were made, the channel Coding Secrets goes into way way more detail.
7:54 Incredible. First time i saw someone ulitize the restricted Genesis pallette. All others just throw a converted high color picture with dithering. You have 61 colors, use 61 color source material and trick the eye with other techiques.
It's crazy how powerful the Sega Genesis was. With no enhancement chips inside, the beast of a CPU it had made up for it. The SNES had a better color palette and arguably better sound chip, but it required so many micro chips inside of it to even run things. Sega could do almost all of that with just it's hardware. The Genesis is a heavily underrated system.
I like this series because it's cool to see developers get recognition for their hard work. You know everyone took it for granted back in the day, but they had to be proud of what they achieved.
I'd suggest Paprium, for a game that pushed the hardware, but I still haven't received it, despite paying in full for it, 3+ years ago.. So F@#! that game. 😞
These videos are nostalgia fuel in the best way possible. I don't know how, but I forgot about California Games. I used to rent that all the time cause it was hard to find any sega games to rent where I lived. I certainly didn't want to buy it. It was fun for a couple days though.
@@rufusray me too, SO much was invented on that, hand grenade physics. dogs that grabbed grenades A bullet hit Animation base. if you hit a hand her react to that. UNPRESIDENTET at that time. AND STILL do this day rare
@@Olzone I don't often 100 percent games,more of a casual gamer, but I did with that 1, got every medal and then finally the medal of honor. Looking at that screen with all your medals displayed was oddly satisfying lol!
@@rufusray same man. That and underground all 3 stars All missions. And The last 3 missions in underground was amazing. PANZERSCHREK Hahaha. And The Dogs and nazi knights. You understand alot of them Who made The game is part What became treyarch to this Day.
I will never get tired of seeing that kind of impressive graphical tricks developers were able to pull off on these old systems back in the day... and now as well. Btw. Did you see that really impressive new SuperRT video that shows up real 3D and raytracing on the SNES?
What are some other games you feel push hardware limits, and why? Someone recommended Medal of Honor on PS1. Should I check it out? What else?

Alright 7
Ball Blazer on the 7800. Featuring: smooth sprite scaling at high speeds, and background anti-aliasing. It completely destroys the Famicom port.
We need a "Better than we remember" and a "Worse than we remember" episode.
Brilliant idea.
YES (or just look at any Spectrum game and realize, this is what your game looks like, to everybody who does not wear nostalgia goggles)
That's a brilliant idea!

Just finished up an episode of Game Sack to be met with... A New Episode of Game Sack!! Amazing! Thanks for all the memories over the years, Joe!
This is not a long, winding comment about voxels.
This is a short comment saying thank you for making another stellar Game Sack episode.
That Jurassic Pawk gag was really funny. Good stuff.
I got to say the most impressive thing about the Flintstones movie for me was Halle Berry
She made me want a secretary since the 90s but apparently mechanics dont get em who wouldve thought

Especially fractals on PC networks.
Even in 1984 there was IRobot in the arcade and Elite for home computer. Amazing.
California Games on the Master System is incredibly nostalgic for me. I love it so much!
If you've never played the sequel, keep it that way. It's disgracefully bad, unfortunately.
