How the fuck do you get a stable framerate with this?

If I uncap ePSXe's framelimiter the game runs at 1200mph, if I cap it framerate ranges from 60fps to 1fps and dips horribly when there are a few enemies around.

That's the way the runs on the ps1
Sadly, you need to have a high tolerance for poor framerate to enjoy this game. It should never be 1fps but I'm assuming that you are just exaggerating (it gets pretty bad).
I love the game though, top tier level design

these games are very old and clunky. but for their time they were something new and interesting. I still like the way they look, but its tough getting past the lousy combat system. but if you want to get into these first person from software RPG games then I suggest you play eternal ring or abyss on the PS2 if you can.

The king's field IV is worth? Or baybe shadow tower abyss?

Shadow Tower Abyss is way better.
I think i liked IV the least of the KF/ST games. It's just so fucking slow.
Good atmosphere though.

>I suggest you play eternal ring or abyss on the PS2 if you can.
Eternal Ring is fantastic.

>tfw never ever getting more Fromsoft games on PS3 through PSN

Idk, I didn't really like Shadow tower games that much. But King's Field 4 is excellent if you put up with the slow pacing of it. For some reason the fps dropping originals allow faster movement than the first few. I guess they really did want you to go slow after all?
>yfw fps was intentional

>than the first few
Fuck, I meant compared to KF4.

King's field 2 (3 in japan) fixed that variable as fuck fps. It still has some slowdowns but never goes a hundred miles an hour.

That said, I actually kind of like that KF game a bit better because its far more open ended in the beginning compared the 2nd one.

It's kind of like Dark Souls 1 vs. Bloodborne. One is open right out the gate, the other forces you to go through several areas before it starts to open up.

...

sick

this looks awful

it should, its a PS1 game

possibly a launch title if i remember right

Yeah right.

>ps1 game
>where's the 100,000 polygon models, bling mapping, and post processing effects???
I hate the new generation of fags. Why can't you just enjoy a fucking good game?

It seemed to get much faster paced later on for me

Close to it. PS1 was 1994 iirc.
I really like emulators. It's nice to have this at a higher resolution.

It's probably more that you get used to maneuvering with it.
It's not like i hated the game but getting into it felt pretty rough.

Maybe you should stop obsessing about framerate in PS launch titles like a whore. And also start playing on real emulators instead of hack-laden approximators from early 00s like ePSXe.

Fuck I forget who this qt is.

Lyle's waifu.

...

Would a new king's field work modern day? What would they need to change from the old formula?

I think it absolutely could work because it wouldn't be any different than Dark Souls other than atmosphere and story. Except without having starting classes.

kings field is so painful. it seems interesting as fuck, but its sooooo slow

I impregnated her but those FUCKING GIANTS TOOK HER FROM ME!!!!

You also got more options, bows and magic became viable instead of just waiting to get in and attack, I think that's more what I mean

Maybe Dark Messiah Might & Magic systems? Or something akin to that.

of course it will, especially if they take a few notes from Arkane games like dark messiah
keep all the core mechanics like limited healing items, magic weapons and a great magic system
keep the interconnected level design with underwater levels
make it much faster and with a lot of melee and magical skills, maybe a dedicated kick button as well

Who Shadow Tower here?

Mostly enjoying it a lot as I play through it, but god damn it the fire area has been a pain due to the game dropping tons of shields and armour that's too heavy for me to wear while I try to scrape through with barely any weapons.

I played KF 1 and 2 the last year emulated and had no problems with the fps at all, also the ports in the store that can be played in ps4 and vita have better framerate than the originals.

What emulator do you recommend then, user?

I've barely gotten anywhere in it.
I have it on PS3.

Hi.

Give it another try sometime, I'm finding it to be loads of fun.

But some advice to you: Do not, and this important, DO NOT SELL ANY OF YOUR WEAPONS. Eventually you're going to start breaking your weapons faster than you can replenish them and the game is not generous with dropping weapons. That shitty sword you haven't used in ages will seem a lot more enticing when all of your good stuff breaks.

I spent twenty minutes spamming save states to cheese the fuck out of that bastard. Didn't get much of a reward besides my own satisfaction and deep regret over wasting resources on it.

I really wish Dark Souls games had experimented more with lava and underwater like metroid games and Jet Force Geminit. They almost did with DaS1 but it seems they reverted back after that game for the sake of difficulty like hiding items with no ring so you have to take a shit load of damage. Sucks, was BIG missed opportunity.

I kind of refuse to play it. Its just too stringent on resources for my liking. I remember getting to some acid place and literally saving myself into a corner without realizing it. Then had to restart so I just said, "nah, I'm good".

PS4 port? Didn't know this existed. Might get.

>ps4 port
You shouldn't lie on the internet user

It's really annoying how the library of PS1 games didn't seem to transfer over onto the PS4.
