I remember being floored when I first heard about speed differences between US (where I grew up) and PAL once I got older.
Seems crazy games would be sold while so different, although it makes perfect sense why the choices were made.
As a kid I had just always assumed Mario was Mario and Sonic was Sonic everywhere. Why would they be different?
Was it the 3D consoles when this finally ended, since rendering and logic were no longer in lockstep most of the time?
- giobox 2y agoNo, it was a common issue on PS1/PS2 era 3d consoles as well. It wasn't until we got digital connections like HDMI etc that the PAL/NTSC timing issues went away completely. The disconnect between rendering and logic was not so common back then even in 3d titles, there are many games that just run slower in PAL etc.
