Whatever happened to pre-rendered graphics?

What game is that? I've been wanting to play another game that looks just like Donkey Kong Country

The graphics whoring that began in the 6th generation killed them forever.

Thank god, I wish other shit outdated trends would die as well.

A cancelled Rare game that ended up becoming Banjo Kazooie.

>that ended up becoming Banjo Kazooie

The gameplay looks way too garbage for that. Mechanically, it looks like the quality of dev's baby first attempt at gameplay.

Project Dream, a cancelled Rareware game.

It was. Captain Blackeye is an easter egg from Project Dream.

They where only used due to technical limitations.

Works for 2D renderings, but not 3D models.

They where often implemented with varying degrees of success.

DKC and MK64 where okay, while FF7 had some awkward "navigating 3D space on a 2D image" issues and climbing up a sprite of a tree in SM64 always looked wierd to me.

Trust me, this game ended up becoming Banjo Kazooie. It was one hell of a development process.

Well, guess there's no point in looking for a rom...

Thanks anyway

What kind of stupid ass post is this? Have you ever created anything? Things can change drastically during the creation process. Jak and Daxter 4 became the Last of Us.

Use your fucking brain for something productive once so you can participate in conversations.

Would it take longer to make hand-drawn sprites nowadays or just do this? I'd love to see someone take a crack at pre-rendered graphics again but then again what dev is talented enough to do that

They're called textures now, and you can see them from every angle because its actual 3D.

Things change. Banjo wasn't even in the initial pitch (OP's webm). When they added him as a supporting character, Edison was already being phased out, but way before Banjo was considered as the protagonist. Blackeye the Pirate in Jolly Roger's Lagoon was the villain for Dream.
