After two years of sprite-based 32-bit football games, many believed it wasn't possible to create a fully 3D PlayStation football game without making tremendous sacrifices in gameplay or aesthetics. NFL GameDay '98 is proof that the PlayStation is capable of accomplishing such feats. An emphasis was clearly placed on improving GameDay's graphics, and the results are groundbreaking. By using polygonal players, GameDay's development team could take better advantage of motion capture, resulting in a variety of moves that lend a realistic edge to the game. Stiff-arming, horizontal jukes, tight-roping the sidelines, and over-the-top dives are only part of the large repertoire. These fancy 3D graphics aren't perfect, however. The polygonal players look a little too blocky, even though some of their rough spots are hidden well by textures. Luckily, they are animated so well it makes these blemishes easy to overlook. |
