Orioto's megalomaniac thread of ambitious HD remake wallpapers

orioto · 05:20 AM

He he he !

I didn't really dare to do that cause well, it's kind of cocky, but anyway. I would like to discuss some questions about my work with yo neogaf, and i don't want to flood the Wallpaper thread forever.

This way i can resume my last months work, and speak with you about what should i do next and all that, even maybe show some wip.

Here we go : Downloadable Full HD (and oftenly printable 5000x2800) version on each link (download button left)
Deviant special gallery : http://orioto.deviantart.com/gallery/#Videogame-Remakes
or deviant page if it doesn"t work : http://orioto.deviantart.com/
Forgot to speak about my most precious achievement yet, Kikizo interview of Yoshi Hashimoto (Sonic Unleashed director) where he talks about my work

! http://games.kikizo.com/features/son...terview-p2.asp

Lil' update, i remove the first one here cause it will become too long. There is much more on my deviant page.

New !

PS3 theme for Gunstar, thx to m0dus !

And by the way, thx to KyotoMecca and JodyAnthony for the push and the recognition they gave me with their sites !

Timeless, beautiful, stunning.

I hadn't seen your Metroid piece yet. Incredible.

dfyb · (12-22-2008, 06:17 AM)

would just like to say i like your work. the zelda piece is one of my favorites.

BorkBork · (12-22-2008, 06:18 AM)

Don't be so harsh on your LTTP one, I think it's absolutely brilliant.

SaggyMonkey · (12-22-2008, 06:18 AM)

Really like the first two and the last one. I'd love to see Actraiser done up like this.

HK-47 · (12-22-2008, 06:20 AM)

I've had your stuff fav'd over at DA for quite some time. Always good stuff

ninj4junpei · (12-22-2008, 06:20 AM)

Lovely work. I'll agree with your assesment that sidescrollers lose something when going 3D, more so than a top down game.

If only there was an old game where he could do both overhead and sidescrolling views...

(hint: Actraiser)

LCfiner · (12-22-2008, 06:25 AM)

wow, these are really beautiful. thanks for the wallpapers. I'll be using them for sure.

blackMamba1187 · (12-22-2008, 06:25 AM)

Love the Zelda one. They're all really good. But I love the zelda one.

Olaeh · (12-22-2008, 06:26 AM)

I've always liked your work. Top quality stuff there, keep up the good work.

RoboPlato · (12-22-2008, 06:26 AM)

0.o These are amazing. Incredible work.

zoku88 · (12-22-2008, 06:27 AM)

Any chance of getting the first one at higher resolutions? :(

So beautiful, but too small for me

Olaeh · (12-22-2008, 06:30 AM)

Looking forward to your Castlevania one when its finished.

Team Klimt · (12-22-2008, 06:33 AM)

Zelda = "set as wallpaper"

Word son.

YYZ · (12-22-2008, 06:37 AM)

People seem to like the Zelda one the most, but the Mario one with Bullet Bill is the best.

Linkhero1 · (12-22-2008, 06:45 AM)

Ok these are just awesome. Good job.

CiSTM · (12-22-2008, 06:56 AM)

Awesome.

I really love the first one, I think it's best of them all. And if you are making more of these neat HD remakes then make one from Rocket Knight Adventure :) Pretty please.

Traced-Velocity · (12-22-2008, 06:56 AM)

I'm speechless... Awesome job, keep up the good work.

Xabora · (12-22-2008, 06:58 AM)

My god, the super metroid one is awesome.

Oldschoolgamer · (12-22-2008, 07:02 AM)

o.0

The LTTP, super metroid and Mega Man X wallpapers are my favorites. I really wouldn't be so down on the zelda one. It's probably your best.

Can't wait to see the CV one.

Pai Pai Master · (12-22-2008, 07:03 AM)

I am jealous.

Amazing artwork.

Visualante · (12-22-2008, 07:05 AM)

OP deserves to be paid to create work for games.

PantherLotus · (12-22-2008, 07:13 AM)

Wow. I especially love the last Mario one where he's moving in 2D on a 3D plane. I can imagine playing it and it feels awesome in my mind. The Zelda one looks too much like LttP with WW Link and a nice rain-blur thrown in. I'd like to see something a bit more original for such a significant title.

Since you love 2D, here are some ideas that most people would 'get':

1. Contra
2. Master Blaster
3. Punch-Out!!
4. Dragon Quest
5. Final Fantasy
6. Wizards n Warriors

I'd personally love a new take on Crystalis, but I'm a dreamer.

badcrumble · (12-22-2008, 07:14 AM)

If you put out a Chrono Trigger one that looks as good as the LTTP art you'll bring half the posters on GAF to tears.

abstract alien · (12-22-2008, 07:15 AM)

Nothing short of stunning...*subs*
Outstanding work!

Mikazuki · (12-22-2008, 07:21 AM)

Go nuts, please!

orioto · (12-22-2008, 09:51 AM)

Thx for the support guys !

Despite that the chat on my problem don't really begin yet

May i propose an other subject ! About the castlevania project. I found a good reference for what i think is the very essence of castlevania Backgrounds. It's the Bussaco palace in Portugal. Wuuld you have other ideas for references ?

I'd definitely second this notion!

The scene that immediately comes to mind would be the Trial of Crono. There is a lot of good detail in the original scene, and it isn't top down. I won't link pictures cause it isn't my webspace but just doing a Google Image search for "chrono trigger trial" gives a good few pics on the first page. I didn't even remember the gigantic stained-glass in the background...

yanhero · (12-22-2008, 10:12 AM)

I agree with you that the top down view Zelda one isn't so interesting. Completely disagree with people who thinks thats the best one (I think its the worst one). However, the two Mario ones are gorgeous. I would kill to one day play a 2d Mario game in the style of your art from the one with the goombas.

SnakeXs · (12-22-2008, 10:12 AM)

Fucking incredible. Seen them before, and they still wow me.

The LttP one is one of my favorites. I wouldn't say it's in any way worse, or less interesting at all. Just different. 2 things you portray very well are movement and action, and the interplay of light in the dark. The Zelda one doesn't have much of either, and yet I still adore it.

kmfdmpig · (12-22-2008, 10:17 AM)

Very nice work!

I liked the top down perspective for Zelda. It looked very atmospheric.

AzureJericho · (12-22-2008, 10:23 AM)

Thread is stamped with my seal of awesome. Also, gotta love getting that mention for your Green Hill Zone redux Orioto. Well done!

Also, if you're looking for new references, Super Mario land 2 needs more love.

SecretBonusPoint · (12-22-2008, 10:25 AM)

Fantastic stuff, your latest Mario one is by far your best.

You should try your hand at some Treasure games such as Gunstar Heroes, Guardian Heroes or Dynamite Headdy.

tahrikmili · (12-22-2008, 10:33 AM)

Yoshi's Island

Please.

NemesisPrime · (12-22-2008, 10:35 AM)

Totally awesome. I think this shows that 2D remakes are a good thing. Sadly few publishers seem to notice this.

SnakeXs · (12-22-2008, 10:36 AM)

I'll use my own megalomania to assume that me, a veritable nobody, using your awesome work as his new desktop means something. So here you go. Feel proud.

That would be sweet... But first Rocket Kninght Adventure !

I mean COME ON ! On scale 1 to 10 how awesome it would be ?

Dina · (12-22-2008, 10:44 AM)

Given the artstyle, Yoshi's Island is a logical choice.

banKai · (12-22-2008, 10:47 AM)

overwhelming

when i click on the videogame remake galery, nothing shows up for me. using firefox here. do i need to have an account?

There is a 1920*1080 one on the same page, isn't that enough? Look for the screen icon/download option on the left side of the deviantart page.

And by the way, beautiful work Orioto, I downloaded The Mickey & Donald and also the Zelda one.

Pizza Luigi · (12-22-2008, 12:12 PM)

I know it's something entirely different, but you could also try to 2D-ify 3D games.

Like, for example, remake a scene from the game Bioshock in your fantastic 2D style. That would be really cool, and something different, which is good.

Azar · (12-22-2008, 12:14 PM)

Seconded. Rocket Knight Adventures is fantastic.

Deathspell Omega

On topic: I have the Bullet Bill one as wallpaper on my laptop. Looks sweet

dragonlife29 · (12-22-2008, 12:25 PM)

That LttP one is amazing.

Sir Fragula · (12-22-2008, 12:25 PM)

Someone, *make* these.

Also, give "Albion" the same treatment!

Larson Conway · (12-22-2008, 12:27 PM)

Holyshitwow. Looks ace. Amazing stuff.

zallaaa · (12-22-2008, 12:29 PM)

"A link to the past" is really stunning! BRAVO!

Seiken · (12-22-2008, 12:33 PM)

Everyone is amazing but I've had the Super Metroid one as wallpaper for a month. It's that good.
