PC modded Majora's Mask. 4k resolution and textures, HDR... why do people do this? It has so much detail, it hurts my eyes.

That just makes Link's lack of a shadow and overall poor geometry glaringly obvious.

That looks like shit. At least the Nerrel texture packs are faithful

>> No.9633052

I think the character model and the area look great... but not together. It's a clash of styles. The area itself looks very realistic while Link is far more cartoony. I am guessing it's because a lot of real world photos were sampled for the environment textures.

He did a great job but even Nerrel messed up in a few places and would probably tell you as much himself. Unless you have a similar kind of extreme autism, attention to detail and understand the limits of base game stuff like geometry and lighting these projects aren't worth attempting. The RE4 HD patch is very good too.

This.

I'm glad its something this board can actually agree on for once. Playing the old GC/Wii version with OG textures is still fine, obviously. But the steam PC version really does look so wonderful with the HD patch. A real labor of love and it makes all the difference that those guys actually had good taste and a lot of restraint while making it. I very much appreciate the fact that they restored a lot of the lighting, color tones and effects of the GC original too. I always knew something looked off about every version of the game other than the GC and Wii releases.

Because if you're gonna play the 3DS version on PC you might as well get the HD texture pack since the original ones look like a blurry mess on a higher resolution.

This but unironically.
Graphics being good is a *set* of parameters not just the resolution or color depth, you need every texture to be modified to actually manage to stick together and look good. Mipmapped 2048x2048 clown vomit will never be more than clown vomit.

Looks pretty cool. It’s not like this is replacing the original game, just adding another way to play it for those interested.

>> No.9635880

Why do these always look bad? Is it because the geometry is still very low quality? Is it because the designer just tries to make every texture and model super detailed without thinking about how they will look when they're on the screen together?

People have been doing overcharged textures modes for N64 games since the 2000s. It's the birth of the "nintendo hire this man" meme.
Some retards can't grasp the concept of art direction and how devs used hardware limitation with it.

>> No.9636336

>>9635880
You got the gist of it. The original was made by a team of artists diong their best to realize a vision within a set of technical limitations. The reworks are made by myopically improving graphical specs with little or no thought to what this does to the overall look. The aesthetic cohesion is the "SOVL" and all too often it's removed by fan patches and even professional rereleases.

This. It's unnoticeable in the original game, but when these HD texture packs are applied it doesn't fix the primitive geometry. The log link is standing on is clearly not a circle, but 12 or so flat surfaces. The flat seems are obvious on the mushroom caps and walls, ironically I think running it all through the N64's native dithering might improve the overall look
