I cant seem to find any high quality videos of the Metroid FMV that was shown at Spaceworld in August 2000 for Gamecube's debut. any vids i find are low res or low framerate or both.



this is a still shot of the FMV im speaking of

August 2000: "OMG Retro ruined teh Metroid!"

Nah, we had no idea it was going first person then. I'm not even certain we knew it was Retro, though I could be wrong.

God Spaceworld was awesome that year.

it was a very cool video. the gamecube games did not QUITE live up to the visuals of the FMV sequence but the games turned out to be good.

I still want the video.

Well the model didn't look as good,but the enviornments look about the same...

 

[doncale]

agreed.

I acutally think the environments in Prime had much more atmosphere, and the Samus model in Prime was much more detailed. The knee joint for example, and her visor. This is just my opinion of course.

well it seems that technically, the Samus model in the FMV is both more detailed/complex, has higher resolution lighting as well as far better image quality with anti-aliasing , motion blurr. but these things could not be expected of Gamecube in a game (or even a realtime cutscene for that matter) .I'd expect Nintendo Revulution to pull this shit off with ease...

that of course says nothing about the artwork or environments. the enviroments in Prime and Prime 2 blow the FMV environment away. imo.
