>>341839781
I thought about this the other day. Looking back, I wonder if I was ever truly happy, but video games back then definitely provoked a sense of joy and wonder that I don't get as often now.
I think part of it is realizing that I have to be a grown-ass man and do adult shit now, and I always get that feeling that video games/internet are unproductive which hinders my enjoyment.

where i live, there was a mental hospital that ran commercials on TV during the 90s about child depression on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network and advised parents to 'call if their children presented any of the symptoms'. i realized i had most of them, so i never really had any confusion over what was wrong with me. fuck those commercials. they just made me sadder.

>>341844864
>a noisy grainy image with fake detail and hardcore dithering
its just the unfiltered textures, there is no dithering or "fake detail". its the textures as they were drawn. the whole point of texture filters were to smooth it out so it didn't make noise, and it turned out to look like fucking blurry shit
>>341844995

Clearly real life and 3d video games are different, anon. Use your brain for a second.
>>341845092
>there is no dithering
yes there is, when you use nearest neighbor it makes mach banding more prominent since there are no smooth transitions in color gradients
>fake detail
high frequency noise can create the impression of bump detail in stills
>the whole point of texture filters were to smooth it out so it didn't make noise
which is good because noise in an image is considered an error of image processing
>and it turned out to look like fucking blurry shit
nope
objectively looks better to people who don't get retro nostalgia boners
>>341844992
Growing up with 3D games its easy to not be able to appreciate this but video games approximate 3D. It's not real. Without growing up in it a lot of us took time to acclimate. Kids now all do it when they're 3 where growing up I was a boss at the first Zelda because 2D top down views and side scrolling was what I grew into.
There's a lot of unseen connections our brains go through to relate 3D images to 3D real world concepts. It's one giant analogy for our brain and some need more training than others to get it worked out.

Just put the vaseline directly into my eyes family
Btw, is there a way to disable filtering for Unreal/UT99?
Or is it just using lowish res textures that aren't being blurred by default?
>>341845710
>prove to me there is dithering
it won't be as prominent in quake 3 as it supports 32 bit color which is almost dithering proof but in any 16 bit color game (older ones) nearest neighbor will make dithering worse simply due to the way it works (large color contrasts between pixels) is similar to the mach banding effect
>fake detail isn't a fake term
basically the noise you get from nearest neighbor is basically incorrect resampling of textures
what you are seeing isnt so much representative of how the original texture looked like but a reproduction with lots of texel color data lost
high frequency contrasts stand out to our eyes, its basically what aliasing is
so the reason its fake detail is because it has a lot of high frequency color contrasts that stand out to our eyes generated from lossy texture data

yes, and the same for games like deus ex as well
1.) Download the latest OpenGL renderer for Unreal Tournament

2.) Install the renderer by placing it in the System folder within your Unreal folder
3.) Open the UnrealTournament.ini file also found in the System subdirectory within your Unreal folder with your text editor
4.) Add the line;
NoFiltering=True
-under [WinDrv.WindowsClient]
5.) Add the lines;
HighResTextureSmooth=False
LowResTextureSmooth=False
NoFiltering=True
UseMipmapping=False
-under [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice] and then save. NOTE: You can also change resolution for the game in this .ini file as well.
6.) Open Unreal Tournament, then Options, and then preferences
7.) Under Video Driver press the Change button
8.) Finally press Show other devices in the bottom right and then select OpenGL Support

>>341847249
I'll be honest, I don't think this meshes with UT well.
Quake 1 was perfect since textures were so low res and it looks fantastic when you remove the filtering.
But Unreal seems to suffer from it since the textures are at a high enough res to where it ends up looking fugly without the ever so slight amount of blur.
Since all the shadows seem to be pre-baked, they end up looking like garbage without any form of smoothing to make the light areas flow into the dark ones.
Sure, the weapons and models looks a little nicer, but fucking up the level aesthetics really kills the look.

Is how the world felt like it was just a bunch of platforms floating in space/in a skybox and the background was just one big jpg texture stretched out
>>341848682
That looks more like intentional fog to invoke atmospheric perspective rather than the Turok peasoup used to hide the geometry pop-in. Characters and other objects do pop in in SM64 though
>>341848682
>>each of which is a progressively lower resolution
Because, you clueless fucker, when a texture is very far away it only represents a small number of framebuffer pixels.
A texture that is normally 256x256 that is very far from the camera may only be the size of 32x32 pixels inside of the framebuffer. Trilinear mipmap interpolation is basically downsampling that 256x256 textures in 32x32 while weighing the color values of ALL the 256x256 texels.
There's no loss of detail (aside from that necessitated by the screen resolution) because all of the original texels have been involved in downscaling computation.
Without mipmapping, it just randomly grabs random texels and discards anything in between. That is the definition of detail loss.
>>341844478
You can already make your own levels in OoT, romhacking tools existed for years.
You do need modelling knowledge though to actually build levels, but since the poly budget needs to be rather low you can get away with simple shapes where all the details are done with textures.

This just in: real life has distance fog!
>>341849340
>That photoshop to color the fog

Also:
In RL, on clear days, there is no visible color refraction for several kilometers of distance.
In video games, you often have a super condensed fog, where you start seeing fog at 10-20 meters.

>>341849669
Nah I didn't photoshop it, just grabbed it off a landscaping website
>In video games, you often have a super condensed fog, where you start seeing fog at 10-20 meters.
Probably because the game areas are smaller than in real life. But of course the color refraction fog isn't done to hide detail (original polygons/textures are still being rendered) just as a neat atmospheric effect.
>>341849673
I can't tell the difference between the two sides of this picture. But they're using nearest neighbor on both sides. Nearest neighbor with mipmapping doesn't usually have much benefit, mipmapping goes with trilinear filtering for the most benefit.
Also mipmapping doesn't work (nor is it necessary) when the screen resolution is way larger than the texture resolution. Blowing up a 1996 game to 1080p is doing that.
>>341850064
>. But of course the color refraction fog isn't done to hide detail
Anon, you are full of shit. They hide so much color detail its crazy.
>>341850254
This game was always so confusing and bizarre to me
Hey fellow 98 dudes, I love the new windows operating system but what is this website we're all using?
>>341850064
you are moving the goalposts but i also have the option to use linear mipmapping too. the effect is even more extreme, there are clear differences why deny them? look at the ceiling in the middle or the floor. mipmapping does reduce graphical detail and thats the point of the image
>>341850254
Because Nights actually has distance fog (at the end of which the polygons are clipped entirely from the scene). It has a very small color refraction fog layer just before the actual distance fog to ease the transition.
Mario 64 only has the color refraction fog, it entirely lacks the distance fog (aka the polygon clipping fog).
>>341850371
It's possible that in Quake the mipmapping levels have not been interpolated with the screen resolution.
What that means is that the game assumes that you are running at a lower resolution and has set the mipmap levels according to that assumption. If that is the case, then yes, mipmapping will cause a loss of detail when you are running Quake at a high resolution.
But that's merely a situation of mipmapping being applied incorrectly. If you are running a game with low resolution textures like Quake at a high resolution, mipmapping shouldn't even function.
>>341846798
>basically the noise you get from nearest neighbor is basically incorrect resampling of textures
This man gets it. You can see this in pretty much any SNES game where sprites expand or contract. Those details need to be filtered or else you get a non-integer based scaling effect where a single pixel will end up spreading to 2 or 3 pixels (or cathodes I guess), stretching in such a way that the details of the original sprite lose their intended shape.
If it wasn't obvious, pic related is unfiltered.
Man, I love how BioWare made an open world, non-linear game which still has a cool story nevertheless!
I also like that you have to use your wits and tactical abilities to overcome your opponents, instead of just spamming the same skill over and over!
And no forced fantasy romance either!
>>341850363
Amezo BBS of course
>>341850386
>actually has distance fog
It has dithering instead of fog, with a form of LOD for the tiles.
It has a cut off for draw distance, with a fade out for the next set of tiles.
Fog is something else entirely. Look at the picture I am attaching, the gigantic white smear over EVERYTHING is fog.
>>341847013
>my space reporting a decrease in traffic

>>341850763
>It has dithering instead of fog
Not quite although close; it's just a mach banding effect created by the rigid fog color levels.
>Fog is something else entirely
Look, I definitely do agree with you. Fogging is really supposed to be about the color refraction effect for atmospherics. That's exactly how the 3D computer graphics literature describes fogging.
It's just that when people talk about fogging in these threads what they really mean is Turok-style distance fog which is used to mask polygon clipping.
>>341850386

to be completely honest right looks obviously sharper etc. but left is giving you something for your imagination.
on the right you see the pixels and know how cheap this enemy was created, also you see the walls and know theres nothing behind it. On the left version you can immerse yourself much better and the place looks like an actual room
also the enemy looks more threatening since you fill the gaps with your imagination
>>341851202
No, you are either too thick or too unwilling to learn how mipmapping works.
Correctly set mipmapping does *not* create a reduction of detail - in fact it's quite the opposite - it's supposed to maintain the level of detail through a calculated downscaling of texels to fit framebuffer pixels.
Mipmapping is linked to screen resolution and texture resolution. If the former is a lot higher than the latter then mipmapping should be turned off because it's unnecessary.
You're basically looking at mipmapping being applied incorrectly in fucking emulators and old games and going "waaahhhh look it makes the graphics worse!" Well no shit?

1998 was 20 years ago
is this one of those threads were we use 2016 mindsets in a 1998 gaming world or were we use a 1998 mindset in a 1998 gaming world
cause if its the first then
WHY ARE THESE GRAPHICS SUCH SHIT UGH, MY PS1 HAS AMAZING GRAPHICS
and if its the 2nd
10/10 game, gameplays amazing, the world is thought out, the stories that are told are told well.
>>341838952
It's funny how large that looks from that perspective, but when you think about it from a modern viewpoint, it's pretty damn tiny.
Same with Hyrule Field in general. When you first see it, it looks huge, but in reality, it's way smaller than ALttP's Hyrule. Probably even smaller than LoZ's.
>>341853342
Uh no, 1978 was 20 years ago.

Romero left after Quake 1. He had nothing to do with 3.

Turok is about the only game that benefits from this fogging, regardless of whether it was a trick to reduce draw distance. It actually added to the atmosphere that you were in a dense, sweaty, humid jungle environment.
>>341851941
Well I can't account for your subjective taste, you're entitled for that.
But I can tell you that from an objective image processing perspective, no mipmaps, nearest neighbor only is more data lossy than trilinear mipmap interpolation.
>>341848772
Wow, the viewmodel for the gun looks sexy.
I'm not sold on the shading of the world either but that gun makes me almost not want to care.
>>341850997
They escaped the containment site, anon.
Why is Brock so hard, i cant beat him with my pikachu :^(
>>341844379
Jeez that's fucking bad, I've been playing it on PC and there is 0 fog. Stupid passages that acted as loading screens are still there, though.
>>341854525
>Stupid passages that acted as loading screens are still there, though.
At the time it was smart to do that though to disguise them.
>>341841876
Whats the hookshot bug?
>>341854634
>Mfw I learned the cutscene of Link opening and closing doors where loading screens
Fucking cartridges man.
>>341854118
from that exact image it looks like all the textures on the left are the same textures its so fucking blurry how can you say that? again look at the ceiling in the middle. you cant even fucking tell those are wood boards on the left. look at the wall, can you tell those are gigantic fucking concrete blocks with a clear tracing beyond ten feet (look at close left and then far left, the outlines have completely disappeared)? or that fucking floor, same story as the walls. all detail on the left has been sanded down and i couldnt tell the textures apart except by their colors is how fucking bad it is and you think the right suffers from a loss of detail? theres a reason many quake 3 and source players abuse picmip like >>341846789 another mipmapping technique. it completely removes detail

It's amazing what competent devs are able to do with any limitations they have to work within.
>>341855093
The entirety of the gamecube animal crossing is stored into ram on bootup. Once the game is running you can remove the disc and it'll continue to run.
>>341854809
I've already explained what happens when mipmap levels are incorrect set according to resolution. I don't feel like I need to explain it again.
You just don't get it.
>>341838952
everything is made of cardboard
>>341855239
you're joking
>>341854760
what you think are the opening doors stuff in resident evils?
and i dont mean the ones with a cutscene after each zone so it loads the next
>>341855239
That's amazing. Just reinforces my original comment. Today's/Most devs are just lazy.
>>341855474
Except the game was originally an N64 title, so it's really not that surprising.
>>341844379
Honestly i think it looks okay, i like the sharpness
>>341855736
The fog and framerate were noticeably bad back in the day. I'm going to guess the PSX didn't take player input at 60 fps like OoT and SM64 did and it made a huge difference in feel.
>>341855878
Man, I was like, 8 or so when the N64 first came out, and I had this neighbor who owned one, and I would just stop by every day to play SM64. Shit was dope. I got mine like, 2 years later and I would literally ask my mom every day after she came home from work if she got me an n64 because I kept expecting some sort of surprise.
I wish I could get that excited about vidya. I can afford as much vidya as I want but none of it really matters. I'll never get that feeling back of plugging the console in and playing SM64 for the first time.
Just think, Mega Man Legends came out last year, a whole year before OoT and it looks, sounds, and plays better.
Is capcom gonna go far with their 3D games? I hope we get lots more entries in the Legends series!
>>341846114
Not quite
>>341856101
I know that feeling. I had a PS1, neighbour had a N64. So we had the best of both worlds.
I think those feelings are simply due to being a child at the time. Most of those feelings disappear simply due to becoming an adult.

Myspace was x1000 less cancerous than Facebook
>>341856326
MySpace being less cancerous than anything, what a time to be alive.
>>341844763
wait ive played this
but what is it?
i remember that structure
>>341853785
Why was that random piece of wall there anyway?
You guys see this crazy fucking fighting game from Japan in the latest Game Players? It's, like, ALL 3-D. They say when it comes to PSX, it'll have a bunch of Final Fantasy guys in it, but that sounds like a bunch of bullshit.
>>341856326
Which is funny because it's essentially the same thing. Not sure what caused such cancer to sprout from one and not the other.
>>341856546
unreal, fuck i should replay it , haven't played it in 15 years
>>341856180
>Mega Man Legends came out last year, a whole year before OoT and it looks, sounds, and plays better.
lmao
>>341847013
>Halo 3 is released breaking records worldwide for one day sales.
Resulting in Perfect Dark being officially and permanently axed
>>341856703
Myspace didn't blow up with literally everyone like Facebook did; it was mainly huge with young people.
Was this the last generation to have consoles that had unique differences that had advantages and disadvantages?
>>341856842
I guess so. IIRC it didn't try and force you to add in all your personal info and make sure you're a human.
>>341856896
6th gen was.
>>341856896
yes
although i guess 6th gen to a lesser extent
>>341856703
Facebook pages are simpler to create and the layout is editable so it creates a safe space amongst the cookie cutter profiles
Anyone else hyped for the Dreamcast? I mean look at these visuals
>>341841876
OoT on GameCube is an emulator. So you are emulating a (bad) emulator.
>>341839221
Pokemon Stadium
>>341838952
Currently playing through OoT right now. Am I the only one who doesn't really enjoy Zelda games? The dungeons in both OoT and Link to the Past are not fun at all. The only good parts of the games come from the overworld, which is small and lifeless. Spyro maybe be simplistic and easy, but to me it seems way better than the Zelda games I have played.
>>341849340
that type of fog would be more graphically intensive, as transparancy like such fog would be alpha effect.
>mfw this still feels bigger than GTAV
>>341858872
Whoa what is this? A leaked image of an upcoming game? Also what is GTAV?
>>341858636
Exactly
N64's GPU had hardware acceleration for that kind of z-buffer fog
>>341858872
GTA VC?
>>341839221
It's called Get the fuck out: you underage plebeian, made by nintendo
>>341858872
When was the last time you played VC anon? Because it really doesn't feel bigger than 5.
>>341853575
no 1978 was 200 years ago
>>341838952
Elite 2 had the whole galaxy in 91 or so.
