Is Killing Time smooth on NTSC?

Post by jesus 666 » Tue Sep 08, 2009 3:11 am

I've just been watching a video of Killing Time on Youtube and it actually looks much, much smoother on NTSC than PAL, has anyone compered the two?

Seriously if that game is actually smooth then my already high opinion of it has just gone up, that was the only problem with the game.

Compared to PAL?

I'd imagine if it moves faster it must be less choppy to at least a small extent.

It's borderline playable. It was quite playable back in the day, but as time progresses, I just cant get into that game like I used to.

Dude don't you have both PAL and NTSC 3DO's? can't you just dump it in the PAL one for a minute then swap it to the NTSC one and tell me if there's any difference :P

It may just be my imagination, but after playing a few hours of the JPN version of Killing Time, I swear that the frame rate is slightly better than the US version.

I don't know if any code was optimized or not, and the only changes I can tell are language related (titles, full japanese re-do of all the characters lines) so far...

But I swear, side by side, it feels a bit faster. I need to pull video from both versions and put them side by side to see if its just my imagination or not
