Yes, I saw it. It's the textures I am exactly referring to.
I would so play and pay a reskinned platformer running on this engine for PC. Forget remaking Mario 64, why not make a new Indy 3d collecting platformer with wall jumping? How about teaming up with some ex Rare guys and hire Dave Wise to make a soundtrack as a kickstarter goal?
The PC could use more 3d platformers.

Seems like he's got the physics down. Hopefully this will lead to level packs.

A Mario 64 HD remake should look like this, nothing more, nothing less.
Super Mario 64 released as DLC episodes on Wii U, do it Nintendo (or a full remake is fine too) ;P

Looks like there are almost no textures, but it's really early on (obviously).
Could be great, but it seems like it probably won't last long.

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?
There is charm to those graphics & color palette.
The rock & brick textures shouldn't look gritty & realistic.

Way to shit on valuable contributions to the thread. Yeah! That'll get 'ya somewhere!! <sigh>
What am I supposed to say? It looks like Galaxy? It looks like something it doesn't look like? I know it's a WIP and all but that doesn't change the fact I think it looks a bit unlike Mario as I'm used to seeing. Doesn't mean it's bad in and of itself, just the look as-is in these videos doesn't fit my (or many people's) expectations of a Mario aesthetic.
You can't shit on people for having an opinion, an opinion it seems like you're only assuming by reading a small selection of posts and judging everyone else by them.
Mama-fuckin'-mia!
I noticed that watching the video....Brawl isn't an ideal inspiration. For many things, visual style being one of them :S

are those the brawl textures on Mario? It's a work-in progress but it's hideous regardless, though it's still SM64 so it's still more of the type of 3D Mario I prefer compared to 3D World.

It looks a little weird, but it's kind of hypnotic. Interesting.
Not really. It's some ripped assets put into an existing engine. It looks like a fairly decent reproduction of mario's moveset and controls but that's currently all it is; and that's not really an impressive amount of work. And it's really not worth the attention. If this was an indie game, without copyright infringement and a chance of actually one day being a finished product, there's no way it would get a Polygon article and a Gaf thread if shown at this state.
I just did this level while I finished SMG2 (finally) today.
Good stuff, really good stuff.

Nailed the physics and animation, totally missed the tone and atmosphere.

This game has no personality.

If he's ripping assets from other games, I wonder why he didn't just rip Mario from Galaxy.

maybe i was too hopeful when i saw the thread title and thought that it was going to be a finished remake instead of a tech demo that will never amount to anything

Sure, but he's heading in the wrong direction with the lighting and shaders right now unless that's just placeholder stuff. I don't think there's any harm in approaching this with an intrigued but critical attitude.

I don't really get why everybody is talking about the look of it.
He says it's temp stuff. I guess lots of people only watched the first few seconds? Weird.

I know these amateur developers are excited to show what they have. But why can't they just keep it to themselves then release a finished product? Then a C&D would be too late because the game would be in the wild.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I know this is mean cause somebody obviously spend a lot of time, and it is impressive for what it is but.....this looks terrible.

Probably to get help from other amateur developers. These projects are usually collaborations of some sort.

Wow. The comments on this thread is embarrassing.
That has excellent animation and the sensitivity in controlling the character seems right. I wish him good luck and hopefully Nintendo hires this guy. He's pretty talented.

No offense to the creator, but this looks awful.
Comparing the screen you quoted to the Mario Galaxy one... it looks like the 64 was going for gritty & realistic in terms of those textures.
I'm just talking about the animation data, not the character.

No, it looks like Nintendo was using stock textures for some of that stuff because it was their first major 3d game.

that looks terrible. sorry
Mario looks like some poor western CGI attempt.
it lacks colors, art and heart.

Yep. This entire thread is a joke, and goes to show how little of gaf actually knows anything at all about game design...and how few of them have an attention span longer than 20 seconds.
It's a tech demo using temporary assets to show off the physics engine and jumping mechanics. Ffs people...

...hate me...
C'mon, that sky is just ugly. Technically ugly (you can read the texture tile even if you're blind) and adds an unnecessary grim look to the level.

C&D incoming.
And yes I know it's programmer art at this stage but the guy should really make the initial assets for vibrant and colourful.

You're giving the average gaf poster way too much credit man. I doubt most of them watched more than 20 seconds of it before coming in here and spewing ignorance.
