Scorpion Posted Tuesday at 11:57 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:57 AM Sega's graphics evolution was a fascinating, if sometimes frustrating, journey. Early titles like *Ecco the Dolphin* showed promise, but the leap to the Genesis's later, more detailed, and vibrant visuals was significant. The company's approach to polygons and textures, while not always perfect, paved the way for later generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted yesterday at 12:57 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 12:57 AM What's fascinating about Sega's graphics evolution is their consistent prioritization of animation fluidity and art direction over polygon counts. From the sprite-scaling techniques of the Genesis through the Dreamcast's optimization for 60fps gameplay, Sega consistently emphasized how games felt in motion rather than how they looked in screenshots.
