But they're really well-done and appropriate, and I don't see any reason why that game should be remade. Mario 64, for example, has pretty primitive 3d graphics by today's standards. There were a number of games from this era that went 3d and were successful (and were actually a big reason why all the game companies started insisting on 3d for everything). Unfortunately, this was despite the fact that 3d graphics and accelerators were pretty immature, GOOD 3d artists were hard to find (and the game 3d production process was pretty new) and games looked much, much worse than they would have if they'd just stuck with more traditional methods for the time. The problem is that the graphics in EMI, particularly the character models, were just BAD.įor pretty much all of the late 90s there was a blind belief among game companies that ALL GAMES MUST BE 3D, or they will not sell, the companies will atrophy and die and be laughed at. Note that people don't complain like this about, say, CMI. I still occasionally play old adventures from the 80's, so I don't see any reason why 10 year old game would need graphic update. Wow, I never realized that adventure gamers are as graphic hungry as those who play first person shooters.
