works really well because star fox was heavily inspired by thunderbirds and other puppet shows so the simplistic models work with it.

Why doesn't Nintendo do as much promotional art like this anymore? You would think with the current technology it would only be easier. All we get now is the same pre-rendered character pngs on top of assets in the game.

only by means as background characters. I mean you had Tiny in diddy kong racing ds at least. I still wonder why they went with Diddy Kong instead of Donkey on that one... Oh they did have that bongo racers with lanky as well. I guess we can only ask for is The DKC returns to have cameos. I liked it when we had more than just Cranky and funky doing various jobs to help the Kongs out. Hell have Banjo show up as support.

What is it about old 90's promo art that looks so appealing? I know this stuff is primitive by today's standards, but it looks downright beautiful.
Kayden Edwards
They actually had to try to look impressive and stand out from others who were also pushing 3D
Jaxson Ramirez
we kind of know how to texture and model 3d stuff efficiently NOW but old stuff just had as much detail as possible shoved in the absolute weirdest areas
Brody Gray
Considering the tech and actual 3D was super primitive, they probably tried to offset it with a lot of artistic polish and clean up to hide the really off bits, with excessive focus placed on manipulating colors or filters so that people's attention were drawn to interesting areas. I'm just guessing so maybe someone who was in the industry here might have a better answer.
David Smith
since when is grunty in mad monster mansion
Wyatt Cook
that game was fucked from the beginning. however you have to admit that the reason starfox got so popular was thanks to Miyamoto in the first place. All his games were always changing how you interact with them. If not for that we wouldnt have the shit we got today.
Starfox Zero was like driving in traffic, I have to admit, and driving in traffic constantly looking into your review mirror when you already know how to drive was a pain in the ass and not as fun. Miyamoto should try to add to star fox with out changing the basic mechanics of the original game. You know how Starfox Adventures and Assualt and Zero and the ds game didnt do as well, its because he was focusing on aspects that belong in other games.
What Miyamoto needs to do is have Starfox explore other systems bring in Arwings and have them upgrade able and even let you design your wingmen's arwings.

To expand you should be able to customize your wingmen based on your pilots strength before heading out on a mission. Like Slippy would be given more tech to help analyze the enemies weakness. Falco given more maneuverability and speed options, peppy with bomber and arsenal, and Fox given command tech. Go even further and make specific flight positions and combos in dog fights.
Easton Perez
yes and reddit will try to claim they did it.

Dayuuuuum, the Ultra 64 looks like THAT!?
Logan Johnson
I wonder if it has to do more with old renders using 3D imagery entirely unique from the games themselves. Everything in these old renders had to be made from scratch and composed in such a way to stand out and grab attention. The artists had more leeway to interpret these worlds and characters however they wanted, because the actual source material was so comparatively "crude" in the 32/64 bit era. The relatively shitty n64 visuals and the beautiful 3D renders in boxart and manuals worked together to enhance the world of the game you were playing.
Now whenever you see promotional art or the box art for a game, it is usually using identical assets and visuals from the game itself. There's less of an artist's interpretation these days. Game art is more about the literal representation of the game for better or worse.
Levi Davis
i have a small list of games that give me a massive fucking aesthetic boner

>Moon: Remix RPG Adventure

>Mario Artist Studio

they all have *something* in common and it's not something i have quite figured out how to place, but the game i want to make hopefully will have it too

I can tell you right now that's now how the models in 3D world looked. Some of those on the picture are cartoonishly stretched a little, the colors are different, and there's a lot of shine added over them making them look rubbery. The smash bros ultimate renders would be the most obvious other go-to. The official render for those characters is like 4 times the normal resolution of the game and all the models in the renders are far more detailed and smooth.

In the first starfox, there's at least one instance where you see the body of an enemy pilot hurdle toward the screen after you destroy these ships.
