Cyberpunk 2077 as a PS1 game

[SJRB]

Now as with all the "PS1 versions" popping up lately [Death Stranding just a few weeks ago, for example] I think we all know this is probably beyond what the PS1 is capable of, but still. Pretty damn cool work nontheless.

Especially cool once you realise how it's made:

Really cool. It even emulates the low 20-25-ish framerate - is that intentional? Or does dreams just run as bad?

It all depends on how much stuff you put into your scene. Since they even simulated a very limited draw distance here, I'd guess it's at least a welcome side-effect of using lots of logic and effects to get the look right.

I remember back in my Amiga days reading about a game called Cyberspace that was being developed. It seemed like an early precursor to Cyberpunk. Looking back I think the devs were probably being woefully optimistic with what they could achieve but it was an exciting prospect at the time. Don't think there was anything beyond a few screenshots released and I could only find those in a YouTube video.

As a PS1 imitation the lighting effects, smooth textures, lack of jaggies, and lack of warping kills it. As a standalone not imitating anything it's great.
You're right, the real impressive part is what was used to make it.

Same guy who made the MGS remake in Dreams - actually a guy I knew a while a go and it's still weird to see him popping up like this.

Some of the stuff Ive seen made in dreams blows my mind.

Too much geometry for PS1. Incredible that it's made in Dreams though.

Really impressive, considering the tools used to make it.

Was the Death Stranding demake anything but a proof of concept? It looked phenomenal.
