This Mario 64 one is my particular favorite. I think it’s so funny that Metal Mario has a reflection of what looks like open land and clouds. Pairs well with the fact that in-game his texture was some flowers and a cloudy sky.
Anyone else remember the “Ultra 64” preview screenshots of “Final Fantasy VII” that made the rounds in magazines like EGM before Squaresoft moved to PlayStation?
I wonder if that’s lost media at this point (don’t care enough to Google it).
Who else remembers seeing images like this – that would’ve taken a few seconds to a few minutes to render even on high-end graphics workstations of the time – presented in gaming rags as examples of what PS1/N64/Saturn and later PS2/GameCube/DreamCast/XBox were “going to be capable of producing”?
