Low poly assets that work well with a cartoonish style. Although those models look too complex for the 64. Also fuck people defending the 64's texture filtering, it fucking looks like shit especially if you use an lcd tv.

Early 3D models are relatively unique to a short window of time and are associated with the late 20th century rapid development of consumer technology and optimism about the future. They can have a very uncanny valley feel to them, they're more suggestive of real objects than the 2D sprites found on earlier systems, but they leave much more to the imagination as compared to more realistic 3D models. Also the N64 was known for very colorful and cartoony environments which pushes the surrealism of the aesthetic even further, compared to the PS1's iconic games like MGS which tried to be more realistic.

The intro to this song perfectly captures the aesthetic of the N64, or at least one aspect of it... a dreamlike childhood world with a slight sinister element lurking in the background.

Wrongo buddo :)

240p looks quite beautiful on a 4k display, and 240p is "SD." 480p also looks quite brilliant and gorgeous, unlike your face :)

It's N64 that looks like pure garbage because of it's texture filtering.

They are the metric true /vr/ autists judge themselves by. I don't think I would call that ambitious in the least. It takes a special kind of person to look up to these buffoons.

Unique styles stuck around until even the 360/ps3. Even those two architectures had some minor but noticeable differences. There was a very particular way each system handled internal > external scaling. As well as how they created shading and post effects. Not as easy to catch in multiplats, but very easy to tell when comparing a game like Halo to Killzone or Alan Wake to Uncharted. It went beyond art direction, and played into the consoles capabilities.


Even more obvious with ps2, cube and xbox. Any exclusive game of course used the raw power the GC had over ps2, even more so for xbox over the others. There wasn't any consoles games outside of xbox at the time with real hardware based transform. ps2 has a layer over it that makes it softer, Dreamcast had dithering but kept pixels crisp, cube used built in aliasing along with xbox but xbox also used basic internal scaling. If you know what to look for it is obvious. Of course more obvious on ps1 to 64, since ps1 sucks at mapping and locating polys while 64 has a VI buffer.

>>5314292
Conkers or JFG had similarly close poly counts to that image. The difference is the only thing that splatoon 64 is rendering is a few models, where as an actual game needs to do more.

The fake part is how clear the text is, really.

the people that make "demakes" aren't interested in adhering to the technical limitations of the consoles, they just want to make something that reminds people of the intended console.
