Cool. I hope my Gamecube is still working when this game finally comes out. Can anyone recommend a good duster?

Its nice, but I'm still not impressed....especially after playing Resident Evil we know the GameCube can pump out the textures.

 

[Kelley_B]

Your not playing RE Camp?

 

[MikeAlletto]

I'm not impressed either. Looks like Mario 64...I haven't gotten a Game Cube yet, I'm waiting for some good games...

Nasty aliasing....something the DC still kicks ass at getting rid of.

I think that's tough to see in a static image. If I'm not mistaken anti-aliasing relies on movement to work well.

If it's as fun as Mario 64, I don't care if it looks like Super Mario Brothers, or Resident Evil.

 

[Aaron Copeland]

The aliasing could easily be caused by image conversion/compression. Still, what is up with all the bland textures?

I keep hearing rumors that those textures are "placeholders" cribbed from Mario 64, and we won't see the real deal until E3. I guess we'll know if this is true soon enough.

Actually, the most common AA methods (IIRC) are a) to render a frame several times, and mash them together, or b) render a frame at a really really high resolution, then downsample it. Otherwise, you do X-linear filtering, which tends to even things out, but soften them, as well.

The "image placeholders" theory is probably true. Nintendo likes to keep secrets.

The game might not end up being the most amazing looking game, but based on the Mario track record, it will play excellently.
