Hey, I'm thinking about getting a copy of Bleemcast: MGS.
Tho I'm not to sure how it works.
Do you use it as a bootdisc for the PS1 version?
Or what...
And from my understanding it takes up the whole memory card right?
Can someone help a poor MGS + Dreamcast fan lol
-
From what I gather, it's a boot disc for the PS1 game, so you still need the game separately.
The reason that it takes up a whole memory card, is that the card needs to be formatted as a PSone memory card.
-
Sweet, thank god my roommate has the PS1 version woohooo thanks for da help my fella Ontarian
-
No problem :)
-
If you have a Gamecube or Wii just get White Snake, it is a remake of the original.
-
Twin Snakes.
Whitesnake is a hair metal band from the 80's.
-
I had a lot of fun with the remake, especially the cutscenes were awesome to look at, but they kind of messed up the story a bit and much of the level design was broken.
But yeah, Bleemcast is not worth getting. It is a neat gimmick, but not a real thing you should bother with. There is a special effect you can use on the PlayStation 2 that makes original PlayStation games look smoother, so that might be worth checking out too I guess.
-
Bleemcast uses Bilinear filtering, higher resolution, and several other neat tricks that the PS2 can not do.
Although the PS3 can, as Rand Linden now works for Sony, imagine that.
-
I've tried the filter on PS3. It looks a lot nicer on PS2 games than it does on PSone games. They go from pixilated, but clearly defined textures, to an N64 smearfest.
I'm a big fan of the Gamecube version of MGS as well. It was the first Metal Gear game that I ever played, and it made it a bit tough to get into the PSone version afterward.
-
.......well I ended up finding MGS 1 and 2 for PC and installed those suckers....
And I own Twin Snakes.
TO easy. WAY to easy compared to the original.
