Which was my point anyway? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlynxalot Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) I recently played xeno crisis on Genesis and it's great. If it were straight ported to Jaguar with no frills it would still seem like a quality game in the jags library. The audio, including the samples, is great quality unlike the many scratchy pcm samples used in 90s Genesis games, and the graphics work well with the color palette and you don't get the feeling that they had to reduce colors or choose weird colors to get things to work for the graphics on screen. Gameplay is very smooth, fast and fun. Nothing the jag couldn't do, but also nothing that feels like it needs to be upgraded.

+grips03 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 If someone does port Xeno Crisis, please use the same control layout as Total Carnage. This allows single gamepad to be used to build a TwinStick. If you force TwinStick controls to use two control pads (not recommended) it costs more and might limit two player co-op, or require additional hardware.

The programmer should include multiple control configurations, and allow the user to choose whichever one he prefers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to early to get picky and demanding I would applaud any attempt to bring the game to the Jaguar. It's a challenge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, many games simply let you customize the button layout. There are many control layouts any individual player might find best suited for them. I prefer the way Super Smash TV was implemented on the SNES. That could easily be worked on a Pro Controller. Jaguar Total Carnage missed on that opportunity, much to my dismay. It's nonsensical to not have customizable button layouts, especially with an 18 button controller! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranno Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I would like to see Cave Story. I guess at least the Genesis version should be feasible on the M68000. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoboz Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 If we can't have Xeno Crisis on the Jaguar, why not an action RPG like Xeno Crisis? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it have twin-stick controls for the 3-, and 6-button controllers? The 3-button controller would get a cool keypad overlay, and the 6-button could use C,B,Z, and X as a second D-pad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the Jaguar only has Llamatron and Total Carnage, Xeno Crisis would make a welcome addition to the Jaguar's library.

evilevoix Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I love this game, I have it on Sega Genesis and Neo Geo CD. I prefer the Sega version by a mile as I can use the 6 button like a twin stick. This game would run perfectly on the Jaguar if not better just by using the 68000 and obviously better colors and maybe some sprite scaling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I picked up Xeno Crisis for my Evercade (it's an emulated Genesis port) for about $20. It is a great shooter, though I doubt I'd buy a Jaguar release for $80+. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I have it on Xbox X, and while I would probably compulsively buy the Jaguar version, I can't really see myself playing this game without twin stick controls now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidGameR186496 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 It seems that nobody catched this but BB has responded in regards to a Jaguar port, with Songbird Productions offering assistance to port the game on Jaguar. https://twitter.com/BitmapBureau/status/1642277876794900481 If anybody follows BB on their account, they posted an imagen of a recent magazine interview they did, where they formally talked about PS1 and GBA versions nearing completion. It seems that they really want to compete against the likes of Doom and Lemmings to see how many consoles they can possibly port their game. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
