No suelo compartir esta clase de vídeos ya que normalmente cuando la gente intenta recrear gráficos de PSX o pasar juegos modernos a estéticas “retro”, suelen patinar enormemente en cuando a modelados, tasa de frames, resoluciones, etc. Resultando en Frankesteins que poco o nada tienen que ver con como se veían los juegos en aquella época.
Pero este que traigo hoy me ha sorprendido enormemente, excepto algún momento puntual, la calidad y fidelidad con N64 (especialmente a el look y el feeling de Zelda Ocarina y Majora’s) me ha parecido excelente, me ha transportado directamente a aquellas sensaciones, una pasada.
Para los que no lo sepáis, recrea el teaser de la secuela de Breath of the Wild que Nintendo mostró en el pasado E3.
Purpose: It was fun to make! The quality is supposed to be “bad”: if it looks like a flaw or error, it was likely 100% intentional and either left in or put in on purpose. My goal was not to replicate Ocarina or Majora’s Mask visuals exactly or be 100% technically accurate to N64/DD capabilities or specifications; only “similar” with artistic liberties. Comments complaining/pointing out such will be ignored; it looks exactly the way I intended too.
Technical: All 3d assets (characters, environments, “effects”) are modeled, rigged, animated, and textured from scratch by myself using Maya 2009 and Photoshop. The video frames are natively rendered at 240x320 (4:3) resolution at 30 fps, but is intentionally frame posterized to show at 15-18 fps and enlarged with no anti-aliasing or image softening to 1920x1080 (16:9) for upload. There are always supposed to be black bars on the sides; black bars on the top/bottoms during the “cutscenes”.

Comments complaining/pointing "it looks too good/too many polys/64 can't do that" will be ignored; it looks /exactly/ the way I intended it too.
The video is originally rendered at 240p with dropped fps to 15-18 fps, the same resolution/similar fps to Ocarina and Majora's Mask, so you can watch at any higher resolution and still have a similar look.
