the question i must ask :
If Treasure can do it time and time again, why can't all companies do the same?

they truly are a gem

The question I want to know the answer to is Why do they produce so few of their games? It always ends up as a high price game on ebay (IE Radiant SilverGun)

IMO they are making game mostly for hard-core gamers and we are only a few hard-core gamers. I show S&P to few people and they only play a couple of minute.

Man !!! nobody love shooting game even not 3D. They prefer 'Pokemon' Silver and Gold and all that crap.

Glad you like it.

Some people are offended with Jap - Use JPN.

Yeah, try not to offend people.

I use 'nip' to refer to my jap games.

Seriously though, Sin and Punishment is awesome. I mean, I love all the scenes in that game. And none of the treasure games are long. Leaves you wanting more. No room for garbage like Metal Gear Solid 2 (wtf was up with all the movie action? those stupid NYC scenes should have been cut), or final fantasy (80% garbage)

I'm one of those people who really likes the short but sweet action game.

For instance: Strider; Short as hell, but the level design is so imaculate and wonderful, that it is something I want to play over and over for some reason. Don't get me started in how awful Strider 2 is on the PSX compared to the arcade and Genesis originals of Strider 1.

Strider 2 was garbage.

What a tangent.

I've heard great things about Sin and Punishment. I'm really interested, is it worth picking up? I'm a big import fan and held off on this for some odd reason.

It's probably the best game on that system in my skewed opinion.

Sin and Punisment was made for N64 before PS2 came out right? I remember reading about it but I can't quite figure which system it is on.

It was released in November 2000, so PS2 was out for a while in.

I looked it up and it is for PS2 and N64 but I didn't knw it was on PS2 too. All it says that it was N64's last ditch efforts to make a sell before PS2 came out.

treasure had kind of avoided sony until recently. Sin and Punishment only came out on the N64 in Japan.

It's well worth the price. I got mine for $50 on ebay, off a buy it now. Came with a converter, which I didn't need (removed the protection myself).

Not every treasure game is golden. Mischief Makers for example, was a decent game, but not really cool like Radiant Silvergun or Sin and Punishment. Of course, it came out in the US... Bangaioh I didn't like, but it was produced in small run (for a N64 game) and so it's a little pricey ($65 usually). So not all Treasure games are awesome. But their frequency of excellence puts other larger companies to shame.

I dont think I made any sense. ..and that i misunderstood your question. S&P never came out on the PS2. Only N64. But let me tell you, SP looks better than a lot of ps2 games....SANS ram pack!

wow,.

Actually, I played S&P with and without the ram pack. No difference for me.

Still looked awesome.

I'd compare the graphics to Vagrant Story. A little blocky, but great skins on the characters, and the level of background image detail, depth of colors, and music is out of this world. And it's on a cartridge!

Golden.

yeah, like I said, "SANS (as in french for 'without') Rampack".

SP was not built to take advantage of the ram pack at all and yes, it very impressive.

I like to describe SP as what Contra would be like ruly envisioned in 3D. With a litle mix of Panzer Dragoon.

Sin & Punishment is one of the best N64 games.

You can't go wrong with Treasure <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Glad to see I'm not the only one who love that game.

To bad they never made an european or US release - in that way more players could try it.

My best investment on the know dead N64. <IMG SRC="smilies/crying.gif" border="0">
