Such a pity that Nintendo DS didn't have more games with pre-rendered backgrounds of the quality of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword

Nobody makes games with pre-rendered backgrounds anymore, they said... And if they do, they'll just be clones of what we've already seen, they said...

Testing the pre-rendered backgrounds feature which is now supported in my #ResidentEvil clone made with the #GodotEngine. Mask layers are also supported so the player appears behind/under specific objects! #REBHFun #Buihazard #GODOT #IndieGameDev

As for realistic locations using pre-rendered backgrounds, few come close to the level of detail and ambience of Parasite Eve's police station

Recently, Fantasian Neo Dimension has been a great example in the mainstream to prove that JRPGs with pre-rendered backgrounds are still interesting to the public

Did you know that the first music video Christina Aguilera ever filmed wasn't for "Genie in a Bottle" but for "Reflection"? This video is very nostalgic and has a dramatic feel, much like the late 90s sounded.

All the moments in Trailer 2 that I think are actually gameplay. Not straight-up raw gameplay, but scenes that look like they’re running in real time just with tweaked camera angles or that cinematic in-game camera Rockstar loves to use. It feels less like pre-rendered footage and more like gameplay dressed up to look like a movie. A lot of these shots have that natural movement and detail you usually only get when it’s being rendered live, which makes me think we’re seeing the actual game just presented in a more polished, cinematic way.

The Bulls practices in the 90s were DIFFERENT. Former players talk about how Mike made practices feel like Hell. So that when the games came, they were easy in comparison. Today teams don’t even practice 🤦🏻‍♂️

Who else wishes for the original Resident Evil games to be remastered like this, and keep their fixed angle camera, gameplay and everything?🚀 #REBHFun
