Dino Crisis 2

[ViperXtreme]

Dino Crisis 2 runing on nv shaders (max). Like in MGS however, some of the framebuffer effects tends to male the 3D textures low res/pixelated/unfiltered but its not very noticeable unlike in MGS. OpenGL plugin is fine but framebuffer efffects look too blurry. OVerall i like how OGL2 works, specially when NV shaders make the colors more vibrant.

sweet but... no cartoon shader pics?

[ViperXtreme]

hehe, the ever popular cartoon shader, will post some later

One of the best game ever.

Nice pics.

lol, you know, if you put cartoon shaders with natural shaders side-by-side, you will put cartoon shaders to shame, especially with this one. Man, I must get a new vid card. Great Pics!

[ViperXtreme]

well, it dependes of the taste of other people, anyway here are some shots running with guest's cartoon shader B type 1

[KanedA]

well... if you ask me, it doesn't look bad

[firyace]

Its actually pretty nice, I was afraid that it would get mushed up like my ff8 screens. This thread made me really want to play this one again...

[ViperXtreme]

^mushed mebbe because its running only in high x/y rendering resolution, all of my shots are done in very high x/y res to make the edges smoother and (only selected cards support that feature afaik).
tried the bump map shader, looks weird and nice at the same time.

[KanedA]

we look forward for those shots

What's a cartoon shader?

[firyace]

I've been posting screenshots madly for cartoon shaders last last week. Basically its a guest shader for epsxe
BTW, check the second batch of Viperextreme's screenshots, those are from cartoon shaders

[HI-TECH]

Are these types of shaders availible on one of the EPSXE plugins or is there a place where you can downlaod them?

[industrian]

They should be here. If not, I'm sure the others will post links.

@CaptainISO: you may also wanna take a look here there are links and guides in using them.

just did some comparisons regarding the PC version of DC2 and the PSX shader versions, here they are.

the first one is the pc version and the second one is the PSX version using NV shader at max, the pc version lacked framebuffer effects so its crispier and a bit more hi res, also the textures/polygons are not "twitchy" or wobbling (forgot what hardware feature is that, also i enabled 4X AA but it seems that FRAPS wasnt able to capture it). The PSX version adds some framebuffer effects such as the motion blur so the scene looks a bit blurry, but the colors are more vibrant looking and more anti-aliased/smoothed edges using NV Shader.
The rest are the IQ comparison.
3rd pic: PC version
4th pic: PSX version using NV shader
5th pic: PSX version using Bump map shader
6th pic: PSX version using cartoon shader

[firyace]

in my opinion, the NV shader and the cartoon shader looks better than the PC version. The bump-mapping one looks like someone overclocked their vid card too high or somethin

[Rvca]

ay u can play htis online?? i love this game its one of th best games ever in history. i hope they make a 4th one the 3rd one was gay

[Saikou]

Makes me kinda want to bust out ePSXe and start playing this.

[ViperXtreme]

yet more Dino Crisis 2 screenshots with Enhanced PSX graphics ofcourse
