It's hilarious to me that other than the phong sheen on Mario, the temporary asset is ripped right from Brawl and people are still shitting all over it for being too gritty.

Im not sure thats surprising. Not the hugest fan of the look of Mario in Brawl either.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

I get what he's trying to do, but I'd rather see Nintendo's bubbly art design.

Commendable, though.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

They need to make it brighter

 

[spuit*11]

It's a prototype, clearly not intended to showcase final art assets but just a some blocks to test stuff in. People can't really be this half-witted.

It's like I'm taking crazy pills up in this bitch.

 

[Josh7289]

Oh my god that's awful. The style doesn't fit Mario at all.

A Mario 64 HD remake should look like this, nothing more, nothing less.

Yup.

I'm more impressed by how well he got the physics down. Even if Nintendo does C&D him, the framework could probably be used to make something else.

The physics/animations are the best part, yeah.

 

[nded]

the physics are not even right, hes missing dust frames...

Well shit, you're right. He might as well just scrap the whole thing and commit sudoku at the Nintendo HQ parking lot if he can't even put dust frames in there. GAWD.

 

[Arooguy]

I don't know exactly what it is about it, but this shiny Mario kinda creeps me out.

 

[Blueblur1]

I think it looks great for a work-in-progress.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Eh...it's just kind of odd looking. Very simple geometry that's been prettied up with more realistic textures. Not into it.

 

[ffdgh]

Looks good so far. Mario needs some color tho.

 

[TUSR]

Well shit, you're right. He might as well just scrap the whole thing and commit sudoku at the Nintendo HQ parking lot if he can't even put dust frames in there. GAWD.

or switch to a better game engine, seems easier

Alright?
I don't like the way Super Smash Bros. Brawl looks either.

 

[Chao]

It's like Mario fell in a barrel full of olive oil.

 

[Dennis]

Now all Mario needs is a gun.

 

[Randomizer]

I mean if he can rip Models from Brawl, he should be able to rip straight from the Galaxy games. Keeping my expections low, these things never get finished due to effort needed and/or C&D'ed.

 

[plainr_]

looks like the camera is intact

LOL.

 

[Smashman45]

Well....yeah....it's a prototype, a work in progress. The guy said so himself. Looks neat for a fan project, though a different art direction is preferable. I'm interested to see what comes of it.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

Looks like Mario meets an Alice game. Don't know if work, hmmm...

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

I've never in my life owned a nintendo console and that "Waah!" noise he makes when jumping multiple times still gives me a nostalgia boner. Fucking EVERYONE has played Mario64.

 

[Silkworm]

I originally read this as "Fan remake gives Superman 64 a fresh look" and asked myself "Why God, why?" :-D

Glad it was Super Mario 64 instead since I can see the rationale for spending effort on that.

 

[Shiggy]

Looking awful.

But is that Iwata talking in that video?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol @ one of the youTube comments.

"Nothing can beat the original graphics"

Uhhh.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

ya, but these textures... too gritty, aka not mario style.

 

[drexplora]

people always find ways to complain about nothing on here...

God forbid a game improves its look and gameplay throughout development...
Or do you feel that your eyes are the grace of GOD, and you have no choice but to point out these game destroying bugs.. or we might all die...

People don't even realize their same lame "comment" was posted already..
people don't read, watch, listen...

Why post on a topic you don't even find interesting enough to inform yourself before posting...

The most irrelevant thing possible...the look of Mario....
C'mon people...

This is awesome...a real retro remake in the works!!
Would be cool to see this till release.

 

[eso76]

It's hilarious to me that other than the phong sheen on Mario, the temporary asset is ripped right from Brawl and people are still shitting all over it for being too gritty.

Mario model is fine, problem is shaders and lighting, and realistic textures for scenery have no business here.
It's obviously just placeholders though.

 

[drexplora]

I mean yea... the dude sais so himself in the video...
the dude creating this remake...

 

[honeymustardn]

This thread is why devs don't show the public pre-alpha stuff.

 

[drexplora]

must be...
over 100 posts full of nothing...

everyone here always makes a point to differentiate themselves from the rest.. the majority.. the mainstream..
to prove what? that you both see the same things

 

[213372bu]

He said in the video that the graphics were purely something simple he put together, I guess as placeholders... if this project goes anywhere I'm sure he would get an art direction and stuff, he was just showing off the engine. I'm 99% sure a C&D will be going out though.

 

[BabySlayer]

Level design looks terrible

 

[drexplora]

this is something no other professional dev team would bother even attempting.

 

[Coolwhip]

As rough as that looked, it makes the wait for Mario 64 2 very painful.

 

[Mr. Return]

Movement and animation looks quite good, but the developer has many years of work before him. Good luck!

 

[Metroid Killer]

Man reading through this thread is honestly embarrassing. You would think that users of neogaf would know such words as placeholders, tech demo etc.

On topic, I'm really impressed by how close he got the physics to resemble the originals. If he reaches his long-term goal of multiplayer with portals, I'm gonna be pretty psyched about this(he won't ;_

 

[drexplora]

honestly in the state this is in, it still looks so much better then the original Mario 64.
the textures themselves destroy..

Worst behavior!
Remember?

 

[dock]

When was the last time that a Nintendo fan project was shot down by Nintendo?

Even Ittle Dew, which is basically a fan-game, is published on a Nintendo platform.

 

[drexplora]

Who shut down the Chrono Trigger 3d remake?

 

[redmetal86]

Now that sounds like a good challenge. Time to learn some Blender and Unity.

 

[3bdelilah]

The potential and especially movement are great, art style not so much. Looks too gritty for Mario 64.

Speaking of which, what do you guys think are the chances Nintendo will announce a SM64 remake on Wii U? Would be a modern gaming dream come true, alongside an OOT HD (which likely won't happen )

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

That looks pretty horrible :/

 

[SmithnCo]

Ugly as hell.

 

[Bomber Bob]

Who shut down the Chrono Trigger 3d remake?

SE's lawyers?

 

[drexplora]

werd werd, I think you are right.

 

[GamerJM]

Still prefer SM64 original. The art design is miles ahead.

I guess that just proves how much more I care about art design over "graphics".

 

[Sentenza]

I don't think you know what "jokingly" means.

Are you even expecting a serious answer after coming up with this buffoonery?
But yeah, I know what "jokingly" means, it means "as a joke", like this:

I expected a Mario 64 that looked like Galaxy, and I got one that somehow looks like the Thing from Carpenter's movie.

See? Joking. Without crying or asking for anyone's head on a plate.

 

[FuriousDark]

Terrible texture work and Mario looks like he just came from an oil orgy

 

[vocab]

I like how people are commenting how ugly it looks. It's a work in progress jesus christ.

Level design looks terrible

What level design? He has objects to test physics, and gameplay.

 

[KHlover]

Seems like he got the jump animations down pretty well.

Now expect 1-2 years with a few small updates and then a quiet cancellation because he lost interest midway through the project.

Also might have wanted to leave the stage untextured. Right now everyone only seems to argue about the absolutely hideous artstyle of this pre-alpha.

 

[McSpidey]

Using mario64 audio samples obviously isn't legal, or animation data ripped samples, but I wonder if re-keying the animation using that original ripped animation data as a visual guide would count as legal given the labour is your own?
