*Teleports behind you*
Heh, nothing-a personnel, gay Bowser
I still can't believe Mario's fucking dead
Would these images be classified as bullshots? They used them in advertising, but Mario 64 obviously didn't look that detailed.
Why does this look good and shitty at the same time?
Whoa, Mario 64 looks like THAT?
Anyone else wish that Super Mario 64 got an expanded remake or sequel with this art style?
Who's going to voice Mario now?
H-hello?
Why did you post a picture of a random stone corner?
???
mario fuck off
I'm questioning the fact that Mario is going through a solid brick wall with Invisibility Cap when that's not even possible in game.
what happened to file 4 and 6????
No. They weren't supposed to be "hey this is what the game looks like", unless you also thought this art was a bullshot of OoT.
Whoa. Game threory is this Mario in Dark Souls ???
W-Whos's there?!
They literally put art like this in magazine ads. It was trying to sell you on how amazing the 3D was. It's far and away different from a drawing.
>[muffled wahoo]
LETTA GO
MARIO SPOTTED!
is this real?
NINTENDO
HIRE THIS MAN
It's crisp but at the same time, but the lighting looks like shit.
Are you saying they claimed those renders were screenshots? Don't you understand that almost all games are advertised alongside drawings, renders and other assets not featured in the actual game?
But they did
b-but nintendo made the render.
That's the point. It's comparable to modern day bullshots.
pure unadulterated SOUL
Some user in another thread said that these promo images used a unique rendering technique that was then lost to history. Any truth to this claim?
I remember wanting to find this area in the game as a kid.
You can't say that's a half Mario, any Mario is a full Mario, even one with half is body in a wall!
I reallu miss 1996.
the reflection is of something other than the area
reminds me how "reflections" in roblox are really just looking straight throigh whatever it is to the sky above/beneath/behind it
Probably not. It pretty much looks like classic whitted-style ray tracing with stencil-sharp shadows and mirror reflections.
where did he go
Why did you post an image of nothing?
post more 90's render SOUL
b-but the server is private
NINTENDO,
It actually is an area in Mario 64. It's from Hazy Maze Cave I'm pretty sure
7 ate 9
No, because it's not an actual screenshot. I don't care what their intent was, in order for something to be a bull "shot" it needs to be an actual screenshot.
Bullshots are just screenshots of more flattering angles of a game, they're not CGI renders, cutscenes, or whatever the hell else you're thinking counts as a bullshot.
Not 90s but has the same energy
h-hewwo? is anybody thewe???
Thank you user. I love learning about graphics programming.
Not even rendered, first Sonic Adventures' overworld is filled with soul and is God-tier comfy
>bullshot
>A portmanteau of bullshit and screenshot, referring to the misrepresentation of a final product's technical or artistic quality by artificially enhancing promotional images or video footage.[
I dunno dude, that's a fucking promotional image.
I thought it was NURBS?
Is that tiny area supposed to represent the entirety of Angel Island? Like, the place we played all of Sonic 3 on?
isn't that the guy from Until Dawn?
Post the rest of the definition. I see a bracket at the end
STOP NO
FIRE HIM
THEN RE-HIRE HIM
I remember having one of those folders that had this exact image on it. Used that shit throughout elementary.
>64 posts

It's just a source bracket.
Oh, Vela
Anyone still play red dead redemption 1? If so contact me on xbox to join the weeb empire
I always feel like, Mario's watching me!
So a game's title can be considered a bullshot then?
Is it misrepresenting its artistic and technical quality?
Like, look at this ad. There is one single bubble showing actual in-game footage, and it's squished even smaller since it's divided into four-way multiplayer. This is a bullshot.
The lighting is rendered through basic ray tracing, but I don't know how the geometry was modelled. I imagine its relatively high poly meshes with some heavy bump mapping applied.
I can't believe Wario died back in 1996
what the FUCK is that
DK2 was the climax of 16bits era if you ask me.
I don't know, you tell me. Look at all the boxart games have. They're all bullshots?
Did they pretend the game had this graphics?
No one actually expected 1991 3-D hardware to animate facial expressions. These still shots were clearly promotional image stills and not actual motion screenshots; they had better quality than full-budget motion pictures.
jt's a me
larry-o
You remind, I made this out of that same image almost two years ago now.
>No one actually expected
False way of arguing. Assuming everyone knows it's bullshit doesn't stop it from being bullshit. E3 is 90% bullshit.
poor wario was always getting fucked over in the early 3d renders, you can see more of this in the mario party 1 title shots
And even still, "promotional image stills" falls under the definition of bullshot.
A bullshot is dramatically different from what these images are depicting. I like to think of bullshots as E3 trailers using builds of games that will never release to the public (shit that's branded "ALPHA GAMEPLAY - NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF FINAL PRODUCT"). These magazine promos aren't showing what the game will look like unless you're braindead - in the same vein that the boxart for Super Mario World doesn't show what the game actually looks like.
more DKC soul
OH MY GOD
I like how they use the same shitty texture for DK in Ultimate.
High polygon count but low-resolution textures. Worse yet, low resolution bump maps, which is the worst idea ever. Also no ambient occlusion.
What are they cooking?
DK really looks fed up with Diddy's shit
>I like to think of bullshots as E3 trailers using builds of games that will never release to the public (shit that's branded "ALPHA GAMEPLAY - NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF FINAL PRODUCT"
The comic which you posted, which is the origin of the term, It's talking about screenshots done up into tricking people into thinking the game looks better than it is. These renders all fall under that definition, no matter how "cool" they are.
hahaha so fun
fucking autistic and cringe OC 2010 "story time", post wojaks or fuck off
why was this false advertising allowed
Is it true that the rendering techniques used for the early 90's CGI ads is a lost art because the software isn't available? I mean I'm sure you could eventually recreate this in Blender or Autodesk but still.
I love seeing those kinds of lights pointed up at the sky at night time.
when will modern games ever reach this level?
what the heck? mario kart 64 doesn't look like that
fucking bullshots
The definition of soul
Are you hungry? How bout some pringles, it's exquisite cuisine.
Come on in and purchase this chip; enjoy this crisp.
They're arguably better in a lot of aspects, it's just none of them replicate the techniques that make this style unique.
SSSOOOUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Ocarina had some pretty amazing artwork
Of course that's not true. The big 3D applications are bloatware, they never remove old features to maintain backwards compatibility. I can make models out of NURBS curves in 3DS Max right now if I want, same as Rare used for their DKC renders. The shaders of the time are still there too, those basic Phong and Blinn shaders and simple raytracing.
This thread is so based thank you OP
Soul.
Luigi looks like he just got his nintendo switch from his wife's boyfriend.
I don't believe so. It's just a Master Emerald shrine. Angel Island was part of the mountains in the background of that area. You even revisit Ice Cap near there. It's not conveyed very well from a visual standpoint in-game, but Angel Island is partly lodged in the Mystic Ruins area.
Scott Cawthon of all people nail the artstyle and I believe he uses Blender, so take some notes from him. I don't know anything about 3D modelling so probably knows what he's talking about
>shit that never even comes close to happening in the game
Yeah I figured, but it also sounded like how hardware limitations at the time produced unique results. See: everyone trying to copy SNES sprites and failing because there's no dithering, etc.

HE COULD WALK THROUGH WALLS, DISAPPEAR, AND FLY
HE WAS MUCH MORE UNIQUE THAN THE OTHER GUYS
why the fuck was this part genuinely scary
This is my favorite Doom WAD
>knee deep in the redead
well boxart is, 90% of the time, dramatically different and better looking. So, all boxart is bullshots if we use the rather broad parameters you've set. FF7, The Last of Us, etc. they all lied about those games
The sad thing about Scott is his dream game got shat on while his autism furry bait game made close to a couple million
Well that isn't really a lost format, 3DS Max has support for it
i just realised this is doom artwork
>no red tunic
sleep tight hero
>Sheik doing things
Now THAT is some bullshot.
I pray everyday for a sequel but too bad only like 5 people including me give a shit, the common FNAF fan only knows Desolate Hope due to "lel Freddy is in the background of Malwastes"
Desolate Abandon never
I don't disagree.
Jesus Christ that's awesome.
C'mon mario jump
youtube.com
That's pretty much the entire manga no?
>Ultimate is the only game where Sheik actually uses her knife
Legitimately one of the best looking games of all time
>Literally doom
Sheik uses them to block in hyrule warriors and attack animations imply she's using her harp and knives in conjunction with one another like a weird crossbow of sorts+magic
>literally the mario kart wii boxart
>Desolate Hope
Why have I never heard of that game before, looks sick.
You can shit on him all you want, but scott cawthon did such an amazing job with the art in this game and fnaf. Like hes great at created super detailed and unsettling robotic models
>bumping into a car is a unique thing
its free on steam, go try it out
Is this the soul thread? because if it is new=bad old=good
Yeah I just found out, nuts.
I wish I'd put the effort in to coding. I so desperately want to make a game with the same real time battle style.
Play it, it's free on Steam. Gameplay lacks a little polish but it's a ride once you get into it. I actually hold the world record speedrun for it because nobody else has bothered, that's how much I like it. Prepare for feels
He does robots best. Coffee is a really strong character design.
Damn, Kaze really outdid himself this time, ray-traced Mario 64 looks incredible
imagine the smell
They have surpassed this level already but nobody ever did a game with the same aesthetic the Mario pre render images had, they skip directly to photo realism.
What do you mean its-a me Mario what do you m- hhhhhhhhh
thread theme youtube.com
boiling milk and coins
no they're not and it's more like photo cringeism nowadays.
good stuff
Dithering is very easy to replicate, Photoshop has a whole host of options for it. People just don't, because dithering looks like shit on non-CRT displays.
Yeah i gotta agree. Also i have to admit the design of springtrap in fnaf 3 is some of his best work as well, with how its an amalgamation of a human body and a robotic endoskeleton, all encased in a dirty ass bunny suit. I really hope scott pursues more projects outside of fnaf, he has a great talent in 3d art
>2L84ME
Fuck I forgot, someone in the know please post the lore on this. I'm too tired to do it myself but I'd sure like to see discussion on it.
Damn mario, bowser could impale your neck at any moment.
I consider replaying the game every so often, but the entire game is just slogging through mediocre sidescrolling until you get to the good parts, the RPG battles.
Can 6th gen games have soul?
What does that MEAN?
*Gasp* There he is!
I think if the game had better platforming mechanics they'd be a bit better but I can understand where you're coming from. I've got a good chunk of the virus/subgame/vendor locations mapped out so it's not much of a problem for me.
Kek this webm is the future of the US, pretty brown today but we'll become completely white and then super powerful.
BOOP!
>blankpost
explain your magic
It was accepted at the time. We had "CGI renderings" of games that were displayed in mags with little astericks at the bottom (not actual gameplay), it was for the visual striking, "Oh holy shit look at those graphics" that have worn off since then. Games aren't marketed the same anymore, just dab , floss streamer trailers that get forced into reddit advertising.
Imagine being such a pathetic amerifat you actually feel the need to bring up identity politics in a fucking render thread.
>imagine having your isp send you a threatening invasive email because you posted a meme which violates a """""""copyright"""""".
Obama was right.
user he's clearly not very smart, otherwise he wouldn't have made that analogy when the dragon turned black in the end of the clip.
What is this dude on about
don't open
RADICAL
That guy is still at it? Jesus
How could Mario have done this.
Article 13, which was the end of the world but no one's gotten flagged for anything yet
Just report and hide the schizo's posts, don't reply to them.
>mario is now trapping others and forcing them into PUs that are QPU misaligned and they can't escape from
Pannen has to be stopped
Why did SA1 maps look like lazy Counter Strike Source maps
A more cleaned up version
article 13 is a directive not a law, it does literally nothing by itself, individual countries in the EU have to make laws now and they have 2 years, but most wont and those who do wont enforce it
It was another nothing burger
Imagine being banished to a parallel universe with no objects, where you're completely blind and have no way to escape. It's a fate far worse than death.
We're reaching critical levels of SOUL here.
Goddamn, Vela was one of my first waifus... next to Noa from Legend of Legaia.
Yea Forums, if we put all our heads together you think we'll ever be able to cure autism?
if anything that would result in a new superpowered form of autism
I don't want autism to ever be cured if it leads to such amusing content
Could this superautism kill off normal autism?
autism is an extremely powerful force that propels humanity farther and farther
I laughed
WHY DID NAMCO KILL HIM
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
MAMAF**KER
i don't understand why the half a press
This is my favorite Peach artstyle
The entire part of the mystic ruins that you reach in that wind tunnel is angel island.
YAHOOO
But first
Angel island in SA is that little shrine area in the adventure field, red mountain and ice cap.
Yeah, it's cute kinda like a fuckable wojak.
