Yeah, the sort of things pictured in the dinosaur demo don't always match what's seen in retail PS1 games. I'd love to see a dissection of it.

- Jare 6y agoSome things I can think of: - Dinos were so in vogue and so suggesting of technological innovation. Jurassic Park came out what, 2-3 years earlier? - Very limited z-sorting requirements, could likely be done with a simple bsp if sorting individual polys proved too taxing. - Polys of fairly regular dimensions, not overly long in one direction. Helps with less visible sorting and clipping artifacts. - No problem with lack of perspective correction, because textures are already shimmering due to the organic skin animation. - That black fog has always been very effective. We love terrifying things emerging from the dark, which Doom3 tech proved again, and more recently VR.
