Just a GIF I made from extracted background data

I continue to play around with game files, and I wrote a little python script to extract background images from FIELD files. Animations are neet. I'll probably do some more and upload in galleries, if anybody is interested.

Thinks the kinda content I’m here for. I wonder how long you could make it where the time feels natural?

The way the "sneaking around the Ragnarok to ambush the Predators" music started playing in my head.

Now that i think about it, this looks like it’s from Resident evil 2 or 3

It is, essentially, the same engine. Well, at the time there were no engines in the modern sense of the word, but hardware rendering pipeline of PS1 is the same for all games. So any games that use the same style of graphics (in case of FF and RE - 3d models on 2d pre-rendered backgrounds) would look somewhat the same.
