These graphics are ugly

[Anonymous No.5072935]

I don't care how revolutionary they were at the time, prerendered sprites are hideous.

[Anonymous No.5072940]

i like them now and loved them back then :-)

they look great on CRT and i say this as someone who has hated DKC since it came out.

[Anonymous No.5072951]

Disagree here, I've always thought they were really pretty

[Anonymous No.5072958]

No, kid. They're pure fucking kino, and you're wrong. The art style here is as original and inspired as the greatest works of animation, and easily stands the test of time with its unique appeal.

I liked the graphics in DKC. I prefer hand-drawn, but for a new IP like this was at the time its fine.

there is no comparison to yoshi's island. prerendered is shit.

[Anonymous No.5073992]

>>5072935
Prerendered sprites often do look pretty ugly but DKC looks fine since the general art style is fine. Stuff like >>5073656 is the really ugly shit.
>>5073971
t. idiot spouting misinformation

Miyamoto never said shit about DKC, literally all he said after seeing how the graphics were made was that prerendered cgi graphics are how all games are going to be made now, and he was right.

He's still a dumbass for ruining Paper Mario.

Heh, get real.

[Anonymous No.5074157]

Out of all the memes and gimmicks around /vr/, "prerendered is worse" has do be one of the dumbest and most wrong. Prerendered graphics, especially on games like the DKC series which as everyone agrees are graphical masterpieces. It's a pity if that guy regularly samefagging this meme is back.

Both are two completely different art styles that look equally as good for different reasons.

[Anonymous No.5074272]

>>5074064

i see you like primary colours and baby drawings. honestly, what's meant to be appealing about re-creating the artstyle that children can draw?

Contrarians gotta be contrarian man. Just let him be deluded.
I know a ton of people who prefer ordinary sprite art as opposed to 3D rendered, whether it's pre-rendered or in real time but I think the visuals in the DKC games are still alright. I always thought the controls and the music were the more memorable parts about the games instead of the visuals though.

You're bashing pre-rendered CG sprites and you think you're breaking new ground or something? What next, smugly bashing digitized video sprites like Mortal Kombat too? What a tellin'-how-it-be maverick you are.

Faux-CG, which is the style used by Sonic, is better.

[Anonymous No.5075335]

You need to play it on a CRT or small screen, like the 3DS or Switch.

I think you're just being a gratuitous contrarian, OP, like 87% of this board's posters.

Try to imagine that in 1995 we were not so sensitive to low resolutions, and that CRTs made the game look better than it does on more modern screens. Try also to put yourself in the place of someone who appreciates play-doh-like graphics, even if the style doesn't happen to please you. I don't think the mental exercise should be too taxing.

Based and red-pilled alpha post.
I remember watching the graphics back in the day and thinking: these are fucking pre-rendered sprites and they don't look that good. But they were okay.

How can you play in such weird screen resolution format? Do you use some kind of mod to reveal the whole level?

Pixels are point samples, not squares. Try with decent CRT + composite shaders. I personally like crt-royale-ntsc-256px-composite

I tried without and it didn't pass my test cases. I played SNES when it was current and I prefer it with smooth gradients, blends, and transparencies. Dot crawl is nostalgic :-)

Stop playing it on an emulator. Play it on original hardware on a crt and behold its glory
