I wanna go back in time and show this guy GTA V

Do you ever wonder if the people working on 64 ever modeled anything before? I'm leaning towards no because they look like crap.

I would have to say almost every GTA game especially GTA V.

Why? Do you really think people in the industry were so shortsighted that they couldn't see the technology ever evolving beyond Mario 64?

Do you ever wonder if this poster played any games from that generation on release?

>>333540149

How old are you anon?

Like it or not even the now absolutely shitty looking beta of Mario 64 blew the fuck out of people back then.

I was about 8 when Mario 64 came out. You have no fucking idea. To use back then, this was as good as it got.

I even remember playing Magic Carpet on the DOS computer my parents had and being amazed by the 3D graphics. When you have nothing beyond it to compare it to you were amazed. Remember that full colour graphics had only been around for about ten years or less at that time, so to see the jump to 3D was mind blowing.

These days we know (partly by being older, but partly by sheer saturation of information) that we can pretty much simulate photo realism with 3D graphics in film, and so it's only a matter of time, logically, until computers catch up in real time. Back then we didn't even make the connection between things like Jurassic Park and video game graphics, because they were two seperate mediums. But now everything is pretty linked up and the process for creating the assets is very similar.

Honestly, why do magazine screenshots always look so much better than games?

because it filters out the pixels / low resolution and makes it look more like a photo
