shit the bed tier taste

>that lookin' good kong in the corner

top kek

This one ALMOST looks fine, but what the hell happened to Lakitu?

>>8861320
Probably AI upscaled. Whoever made the texture pack didn't put any effort at all.

>>8861245
mario kart 64 looks so bad that any kind of filter is an improvement

>>8861341
Seems to be a WIP. The driver sprites and many other textures appear to have been totally redone and not AI upscaled:

fpbp

>>8861245
awful

>>8861245
Depends, the RE4 PC HD pack was a labour of love that the creator spent a long time but a lot of them are just run through an AI upscaler with no care at all. To write them all off would be silly.

>>8861265
>>8861263

>>8861434
b-b-but think about the soul!

>>8861363
That looks mighty decent.

What does that even mean? What is a texture pack? Doesn’t sound retro to me.

>>8861682
You might just be retarded anon

>>8861601
>white outline
Annnnnnddddddd its trash!

I like the AI upscaled ones when they look good, but handmade ones I don't like.

The only HD texture pack I swear by is the one for Viewtiful Joe. It just looks objectively better.

>>8861245
High-res textures only work when the polycounts are high too.

>>8861739
I think a good compromise would be textures that are literally the exact same in style as the old textures, just cleaner and not so low-res. The problem lies in trying to replace them with hyper-detailed textures that not only look nothing like the old textures, but clash with the low polycount on the game as you allude to.

>>8861245
It varies. I prefer when they're faithful to the original. Not a fan of style changes.

>>8861245
>>8861601
>>8861926
holy SHIT this looks like garbage. what the fuck is wrong with these people

>>8861934
It's a thing with NES games now, too.

>>8861953

>>8861953

The latest Mario Kart is much better because I can set it to play itself while I do something and I win because my zoomer friend is not good at video games

>>8861245
that looks like shit

You shouldn't be playing anything higher than 480p.

Except for those foreground trees clearly blocking the view.

>>8861953
>>8861959
>>8861967
It's really impressive what Mesen HD-Texture packs can do, but trying to cram that much definitive into a game running on a 256x224 canvas isn't necessarily gonna look good or right.

Like the other anon said, they have Flash-game jank to them, but that's just because the barrier is low and this is how people get into creative production roles.

>>8862105
>that's just because the barrier is low and this is how people get into creative production roles.
Spot on. Much easier to create sprites and plaster them on top of a game than to learn how to create an entire game from scratch or even using a pre-existing engine like Unity.

>>8861953
>>8861959
the retextures unironically look way more sovlful. if you disagree you don't know what sovl is and are mistaking nostalgia for sovl.

>>8861959
This one's really bad.

>>8861363

That looks fucking great.

>>8861265
fucking kek

A lot of these reskins don't respect the spirit of the original aesthetic. I like what could be done if you use the same NES palette but just use the entire palette at once.

http://www.duelinganalogs.com/article/the-nes-that-never-was/

>>8862291
Gives me PC-Engine vibes, which is a good thing.

>>8862291
I dunno, though, admittedly I've never tried one of these mods, but I feel there would be a disconnect between the higher fidelity of the graphics and the music and SFX still being the regular NES stuff. It'd be like playing a SNES game that still sounded like NES.

Nerrel's MM HD pack is mostly great.

>>8861245
eh i don't really care for em, plus upscaling exists to make a game look better with its assets already

>>8861245
Can look good depending on the game and adherence to the original artstyle.
RE4HD is the holy grail of texture packs, but I think there are other good ones too.

I think ideally texture packs should be done with a mix of AI upscales and human touch ups to retain the original look, ESPECIALLY in the case of HUD or UI elements, dont go using modern official renders for icons in old games.

>>8862459
What about old official renders? Say, the official renders for OoT's items and such from back then. They were the original source of the in-game icons, after all.

>>8861926
What the Christ?

>>8862464
In theory that sounds fine.
Im moreso thinking of HD packs that rip from render sources made more recently. For example Ive seen Sonic or Mario packs that use more modern sources that dont fit with their earlier designs and renders in Mario 64 or Sonic Adventure

>>8862524
Oh yeah, that's absolutely disgusting.

this is the plumber ive been tellin you about

I'm beyond disgusted.

>>8862291
That is really, really cool, excellent philosophy for reskinning.

>>8862538

>>8861959
It looks nice, but does the new look make it hard to discern hit boxes?

>>8861245
Unironically looks good
It's obviously not a "definitive edition" of sorts bit it's good to have the option to enjoy the same game in a different way. The anti-aliased texture filtered N64 running on a CRT had a soft look that makes the standard emulator sharp blocky pixels look just as wrong.

>>8861363
Not really a surprise. You scale up all the sprites that high and yeah that shit will look pretty decent

>>8861263
fpbp

All i see are youtube clips, is this just currently being worked on? I kinda dig it.

>>8861967
Holy FUCK they massacred that background

Meant, is there a place to download it or is it just currently in production.

>>8862291
Looks neat but I don't like the huge overshine brightening of the Mario overalls, that one is really opposite to the original coloring. That Simon would also be harder to distinguish in levels unfortunately.

>>8863016
It looks a lot like the Mario World sprite though.

>>8863025
That's a sprite for Super Mario Bros 3, not Super Mario World. It's just replacing an aesthetic with another game's instead of enhancing it.

>>8862291
This is adding details and changing things for the sake of adding details and changing things. Too much detail makes it look distracting and messy, and everything looks like it polished with shoe shine.

Those colours choices are horrible also. Yes, let's change the colours of literally everything for no reason and regardless of what the world around looks like. Surely a shield the colour of sea isn't going to be a problem in Zelda, not like there is any sea anywhere.

They usually lack the expertise to translate the nuance of a professional artist creating something with low fidelity assets ignoring cases where the art can't or shouldn't be updated at all.

>>8862291
I like these.

>>8861245
if it cant run on original hardware, its gay

This is actually good. No resolution change, just an increased color palette. Looks like it could be a legit SNES port.

Mostly good, but Link looks terrible.

That's pretty telling

n64 looked better than ps1 in a lot of instances. this is snoy cope.

>>8865013
there isn't a single instance where it does.

>>8865028
No ps1 game even matches majora's mask. inb4 nerd rage

>>8865028
it's a weaker console m80

>>8865035
on paper it is weaker. you wouldn't know by playing it, regardless of the game, though.

>>8865028
i dunno man, the ps1 has 2mb ram. N64 has 4mb and Majora's requires the extra 4mb and it still looks like absolute shit and run at a cinematic 20fps while still having less content than ocarina.

>>8865040
meant to >>8865031

>>8865031
No N64 game even matches Spyro. Checkmate.

>>8865035
The N64 was much stronger on paper but in practice it ran so poorly that the PS1 regularly smoked it.

>>8865067
Spyro had great art direction but it was not nearly on the level of fidelity as N64 games.

>>8865040
>snoy pajeet is a tech illiterate
sounds about right

>>8865069
Spyro pushes so many polygons so quickly the N64 would choke to death trying to run it, Anon. It also has better sound and texture fidelity than any N64 game in existence so I'm not sure what you're comparing it to.

>>8865084
>soi guzzling tendie still can't cope with the fact his blur machine was hated the world over
sound about right

>>8865091
ah, so you're just delusional.

>>8864305

>>8861959
I wouldn't exactly say that it's bad from a graphical POV although the art direction is very reminiscent of nu-indie games that are rife on Steam.
the "pseudo retro" look.

>>8865067
That’s a lot of flat square geometry

don't you fucking start this console war shit

Why isn't Lakitu HD?

>>8865013
shut up fag

>>8865002
You can say that but it's still trying to jam a square block through a round hole. It's a complete color tone reversal to go from black to nearly white, so it's clearly wrong at what it's trying to be, which is a SMB3 sprite for Mario.

>not emulating in native resolution quality but making the screen bigger anyway

>>8861601
>>8861687
>>8864985
White outline autists are so fucking right, I can't believe how long it took me to realize how bad it looks until I looked back at the older Paper Marios. Now I'm fucked for life and also can't deal with the white outline.

>>8861245
if i played it before: bad
never played it: game bad dont care

>>8865189
>he actually thinks the N64 could handle Spyro
Imagine being this delusional. The N64 was a tragedy on many levels, from its self-destructing analog sticks to the fact its raw power was nerfed by terrible engineering. The fucking GPU performs audio functions. That's how bad it is. Meanwhile, the PS1 had a dedicated sound processor which is just one of the reasons it regularly outperformed the N64 despite having a lower clockspeed.

>>8863168
>Yes, let's change the colours of literally everything for no reason and regardless of what the world around looks like. Surely a shield the colour of sea isn't going to be a problem in Zelda, not like there is any sea anywhere.
What kind of complaint is this? The original game gives the shield the same color as the rocks.

>>8865091
The N64 had a z-buffer so those polygons actually stayed where they were supposed to. That's where the performance hit came from. The N64 could technically push more polys than the PS1 but typically didn't in practice because the z-buffer was computationally expensive.

>>8865067
It looks better because of addictive blending, if the N64 could do it the games would have aged better with emulation.

>>8867062
it's about all the little details: the vibrancy, the lighting effects, the baked in shadows, the character animation. it stands out above most ps1 games not just in it's effects but it's design language

Goomba is mad wondering why he looks like a muffin.

Until there’s a texture pack that makes my goombas look like this I don’t care.

Can someone help me mod FF7 on PC? I can't do it. I pirated the steam version (only one I could find) and dont know what to do from there. I used 7th heaven mod manager but says steam version is not compatible and also knows I pirated so refuses to work

>>8867327
Not even a /pol/tard, but that "Support Ukraine" banner at the top tells me all I need to know about the software and the people who made it. There's got to be another option. Look in qhimm forums, maybe.

>>8867028
Still don't know why they stuck with using the stupid Goomba painting model for the regular Goombas all this time. Render96 is one of those things that could be amazing, but they're too stubborn to fix their dumbass decisions.

Did they give up trying to do their own voice acting yet?

>>8867028
>>8867047
This is progressing very nicely. I think that making N64 games look like the promo renders is the best kind of reskin. It's the kind of visual update that stays within the boundaries of what the game was always trying to be.

>>8867360
Yea I don't know why you'd put that in your mod manager software. Just bizarre

I just wish there was a torrent/link with everything already set up. This is a pain. I got it working now at least, but with audio problems

>>8868172
Spyro is a simplistic game geometrically and low poly models with great use of colours and gradients the character animations are ok but they’re not even on par with MML or Crash

>>8867906
I really miss handcrafted textures &skyboxes. almost everything is procedurally generated nowadays; creating that "cheap mobile game" look.

>>8867939

i love replaying old games at as high res as i can. ill use your textures as long as i like them. i love seeing games i played 20 years ago with better graphics without being as fucked by a totally different art style like in remakes.

>>8868207
It was the 5th gen, Anon. Everything on the Playstation, Saturn, and N64 had simple geometry and low poly models. But Spyro is a technical miracle. The draw distance and frame rate are fucking nuts. If you don't understand how mindblowing it is then you probably weren't alive in 1998.

>>8863276
>those fucking sports sneakers
lol

>>8861245
complete dogshit for low poly games and pre-renderd sprites

The only ones that are good are the ones where you can barely tell anything changed.
And even then it's only good on PS2 era and up.

>>8868427
Read what you wrote originally and say that again
I already gave you games that are more technically impressive, here’s another, soul reaver
Spyro is incredibly simplistic by comparison

>>8868564
it only works for wind waker because of how heavily stylised it is.
the same doesn't really apply for something like super mario sunshine imo, the primitive geometry would stand out much more with high resolution textures.

>>8868578
Would it really? What if it's the exact same texture with no added details, just less blurry due to higher resolution?

>>8863276
The logic defying walls kinda look good if you ignore what they're trying to "upgrade" from the original.

>>8868578
Even then Gamecube games are at the point where Nintendo sees it as good enough as is and only bothers updating textures (if that) and leaves models and geometry. Though apparently N64 games are perfectly fine in their original state to release unchanged 25 years later for full price.

>>8861245
it NEVER works in n64 roms
PC on the other hand when is hand tailored the same as the source textures without any compression at all.

>>8861953
It is just Wily Wars

>>8861959
Later feels like a NDS remake if nintendo had coined on the anniversary

>>8861967
This feels like a DOS-Win95 game if Konami had hired competent monkeys to port the first 3 castlevania games to PC to ride on the Redlabel soundtrack, so there is a timeline where we got all remastered cd high quality versions of the NES trilogy soundtrack in 1995.

>>8868583
I suppose that could work.
The problem is that all texture packs i've seen thus far sunshine completely disregard the original art direction and look absolutely terrible as a result.

>>8868607
>wall is the same texture as ground
I don't even.

>>8867028
>>8867047
This actually looks shockingly good.
If someone told me Render96 were trying to pretty up the levels to look like the same render style I would have immediately assumed it would look terrible, but this is actually incredible.

Not exactly in the spirit of the original game, but incredible nonetheless.
Imagine showing child you this.

>>8867047
Render96, Nerrel's Majora's Mask texture pack, and RE4HD Project are the holy trinity of good fan remasters.

>>8868691
That is indeed retarded, not to mention arrogant. They're essentially saying "more detail is always better" at best, and "I can do better than the original artists" at worst.

Q2 has good temple tilesets, also the map on pic is Dead, Dumb and Blind.

>>8861245
the artstyle of N64 games relies on the fuzziness of the shit resolution a lot of the time, putting an HD texture pack makes it look washed out and plastic.

The only time I think it should be done is if you're doing it for playability reasons, like for Goldeneye to see in the distance better, but even then if you're playing Goldeneye in 2022 you might as well embrace the shit factor of playing an FPS in 240p resolution with a single stick controller.

Sonysisters can't help themselves. They don't think about anything but Sega and Nintendo.

>>8861245
Depends on the game and the pack.
Some are literally just the same textures without compression, and running games with that on native displays just makes for superior visuals.

Most are

The FF7 modding community has DRM in their mods.
They don't allow pirates to play the game with mods.

>>8868727
Don't forget the following:
>OoT Reloaded
A Nerrel-approved OoT texture pack that recycles many of Nerrel's Majora HD textures.
>Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition
Fixes the broken PC version and makes it superior to the PS2 version in many ways.
Other fans are doing similar equivalents for Silent Hill 3 and 4 on Nyaa and RuTracker.
>Sonic 3 A.I.R.
Who knew that adding widescreen to your source port of a side-scrolling platformer would make it even better? And there are even more options.
That said, Sonic Origins will be better than this in most ways, but inferior in others.
>Deus Ex: Revision
An amazing mod pack/fan remaster of Deus Ex 1 that was so good that Eidos Montreal and GOG actually approved of the mod and added it as free DLC. You can play with the vanilla maps so you can basically have a souped up mod pack for Deus Ex 1.

>>8867360
>that "Support Ukraine" banner at the top tells me all I need to know about the software and the people who made it.
Do you unironically support Russia in this conflict?

>>8861926
All that effort went into this and it still makes me feel like I'm gonna puke.

>>8867360
They probably have modders or users from Ukraine and they're showing their support? I don't know, that just seems most likely.

>>8875549
>>8875664
No, I don't support Russia. What I tried to get across is the type of people who inject their politics into their software tend to be insufferable moralfags, and the software is likely to reflect that. And if what >>8875319
claims is right, it looks like I was spot on.

>>8875905
>the type of people who inject their politics into their software
Politics have always been involved in software, especially video games.

There's nothing wrong with following a system of morals. It's actually extremely normal.

Zoom Zooms, you're not wanted here.

They have DRM on their fan creations.
They won't allow you to play the mods if they think you pirated the game.
The software should work but doesn't because the devs decided you don't deserve it even though it's free.
That's how it reflects that.
>>8875926
And that's why complaining about it is very different than what they are doing and not just a matter of "derp by complaining about their politization you are being political too"
>>8875912
>politics have always been involved in software
They have not, and even the few cases they have doesn't mean anyone has to tolerate unsufferable degenerates and their petty whining

>>8861926
kek looks like seared steak and nightmares washed out in purple drank

>unsufferable degenerates and their petty whining
imagine hearing someone say "support ukraine", having a spastic meltdown about it, and then unironically thinking the activist is the one that's a whiner lmao.

>>8861926
>le wide cinematic ratio
>puke worthy textures
The biggest mistake is the fucking UI, look at that monstrosity its an affront to all of creation.

>>8867047
If they really wanted to make a pure showcase of the gaytracing they should've rewritten the renderer to be a sphere tracer. You can pretty much do it realtime these days.

lol same here

I love this shitty jpeg so much

>>8879113
If only they stopped at "support ukraine" like you implied instead of a new reason to bother everyone else every month. Mental illness manifests in a multitude of ways, unfortunately you can not see the fact that I could not care less about ukraine or whatever issue they have been told to care about this month, I am disgusted by the neverending whining that finds many different ways to manifest itself from a harmless banner to adding DRM to fan made content to inferior quality software to divided communities to censorship and decentralization.

>>8880495
>I am disgusted by the neverending whining
He said, while whining.

i wonder if these faggots are against blocking ads too

>>8880537
Yet you can't keep yourself from whining that he's whining, while at the same time offering no aeguments whatsoever unlike him.

>>8881061
They didn't make any arguments, they just said they were sick of whiners. It's the same exceedingly vapid "politics in media bad" talking points you see from simpletons on twitter.

everyone shut the fuck up
hd texture packs are all gay, except the re4 hd pack
that's the only good pack ever made. no nerrel's mm pack is still poop

I thought skyrim had some good ones

>>8882431
Not unlike your "politics in media good" simpleton talking point
See? Two can play this game
He clearly listed some shitty, concrete consequences of whining when it is allowed to fester and escalate. In that sense his complaining is different than an entire system of self-victimization and neverending activism that tears through some communities.

>>8861263
if you value purity flat out just say it, OP's pic doesn't look bad so I don't think it applies here.

>>8879217
I actually think the weapon icons look pretty decent. Least bad thing on that image.

>>8867906
the boulders in the bottom middle one always confused me. Are they supposed to be mountains?

>>8862291
I think this is on to something, but more attention should be paid to outline and contrast, making sure that the figures don't meld into the background too easily.

>>8863016
Agree, they need a bit of work, but I think the idea of employing the NES's palette to the fullest, beyond what the original hardware could do, could be used to create some pretty damn cool visuals.

>>8882962
>Not unlike your "politics in media good"
Ah, I see you've reached the point of utter recoil where you put words in my mouth.

>>8864970
because zero mission is not the original game

>>8882431
Well some people can and do whine too much for petty stuff, what's so dumb about recognizing this fact? Isn't constant whining something we all can get tired of?
I mean, unless you want to argue that the whining in this case is valid and necessary, but then you would need to contribute something to the discussion other than "no u" and get off of your high horse of and actually make a point. But then you might prove yourself as not as smart or casually detached as you pretend to be.

>>8883651
>Well some people can and do whine too much for petty stuff,
yeah, like people who moan like faggots about the words "support ukraine".
>Isn't constant whining something we all can get tired of?
there are constant problems in the world, so naturally there will be constant whining, same as it ever was.

>>8883651
>>8883682
Fuck off to /pol/, retards.

>>8861245
Usually terrible, there are like 5 good ones.
Related but somebody should do a goemon HD pack, the AI upscaled one is very flawed but highlights the potential.

God damn that samus looks good.

>>8863276

Would be cool playing this as a novelty, like an interactive collage.

>>8861245
I like how the Kong who picked me up from the airport that one time is in the background.

>>8861245
Genuinely good when done with accuracy and faithfulness to the original texturework.

>>8862637
>if only you knew

>>8882913
have you played the king harkinian's HD texture pack? It's for dinner

>>8868948
omg I need a 4090 ti.

>>8882913
At the very least nerrel cared about replicating the original art style, I give him kudos for that alone.
the problem with oot and mm mask is that they're N64 games and thus too low-poly for a high resolution texture pack to look good.
