did you know? (yap)

did you know that in the original ps1 parasite eve game, they used a technique called pre rendered backgrounds? pre rendered backgrounds (or pre rendering in general) are backgrounds that are not real time rendering, and instead offline rendering. which means all the graphics you might see graphics that aren’t technically there. this technique is also found in many other games, mostly also recognizable in other ps1 games, like early resident evil games. this technique saves storage for the game, since the ps1 had only enough storage, for other important real time rendered graphics. just something to think about.
