sin and punishment

>>6683678
wrong, but it looks good (for N64)

>>6683610
Actual question: could the N64 theoretically NOT use texture filtering if a developer wanted to go for a crisper look like in a PS game? Or was it hardware-mandated somehow and there was no choice at all?

Paper Mario

>jagged shit wobbling all over the screen
Literally don't know why people think this looks good.

Vagrant Story looks hideous though. It's just a brown, jagged mess. Completely unreadable and undefined.

>>6683807
This, also the color palette is all grey and brown.
As far as N64 goes, my favorite looking one is Neon Genesis Evangelion. Great 3D models.

>>6683749
The hardware is capable of it, but it was Nintendo mandated that devs use it.

>>6683734
wrong on you, at least we can see their faces and not this pixellated shit in vagrant.

>>6683610
>Vagrant Story
I remember that game. It was a brown, green atrocity with plenty of polygon wobbling. I cant understand how people actually find this aesthetic?

>>6683820
>unreadable
What's going on here I don't know what this image depicts???

>>6683610
The only thing that comes close is World Driver Championship. Vagrant Story wins against a lot of modern games because of its incredible art direction.

This is still my favorite 5th gen game by far.
Kind of crazy to think it was released in 1997, predating both Mega Man Legends, and Ocarina of Time.

>10x upscaled in a emulator
Wow, looks just like in my memories!

>>6684494
Most screenshots are upscaled, including OP's.
It's not my own screenshot, I would have made sure it'd be at the correct resolution, it looks better if it's not stretched.

>>6683610
I just wish Vagrant Story wasn't such a chore to finish. I'm just so tired, bros.

>>6683610
I don't know Glover? Chameleon Twist? Robotron 64? A single still screenshot doesn't capture the awful texture filtering, nonexistent anti-aliasing, and dancing textures/seams that plague the game. Everything is basically a hazy blur. Definitely an example of a project where the hardware was not up to the devs' vision. I love Vagrant Story but it looks like garbage. Probably the only game I would strongly recommend people play on an emulator so they can use higher internal resolution AA and texture filtering. Some of those textures are surprisingly polished once you seem them without the constraints of the PS1's pitiful hardware.

>>6683610
Perfect Dark, Zelda Majora, Banjo Tooie, Conkers BFD, Rogue Squadron

>>6683828
I wish this game was more fun to play because it's basically the best utilization of all N64's visual strengths

Ogre Battle 64

>>6684221

Yeah this game is basically a fucking joke. It only seems to look good in screenshots too, in action it's hideous and must be one of the least enjoyable games I've ever played. Plus the music is horrendous.

>>6685212
Disagree that it looks bad in motion, but it is a fucking chore to play. It's basically one longass qte, mobile games have better player engagement than this

>>6685212
What do you mean? The animation and models are great?

>>6685212
Huh? If anything the screenshots don't make it real justice, the game looks better in motion.
