Anybody know how many polys the best looking game on n64 had
- Thread starter n64
- Start date
Turok 2 also had the most aggressive fog in any video game, ever. 
For those who don't know: In Turok 2, generally speaking, if you're on one side of a room, you can't even see the opposite wall.
Mmm. I'd say Conker's BFD looks like it pushed the most polys on the N64, with the best frame rate of the high-poly games.
F-Zero X also seems to push a lot of polys on the tracks (not the vehicles though, LOL). I'm still wondering if the game uses some kind of HOS because damn, the tracks are smooth.

YEAH and Super Mario 3 was the best looking game on NES
by the way, with all this talk about 16bit consoles, why is it that SNES games with 3d graphics are seen as outstanding for the time (even though the 3d graphics was pretty lame) while games like Virtua Racing on Genesis never get mentioned? i mean i agree it doesn't hold a candle to the arcade version, but still it was quite an achievement at the time.

If you think that, grrl, you can't have played the original Turok, that's for sure.
T2 is A LOT better in the fog department (it's also a lot jerkier in the framerate department as well, even without enabling the hires mode).The fog fit the original game PERFECTLY though. It was amazing to see some old ruin come fading out of the fog, it was a true action adventure, a game of many discoveries. It should have been given the 32MB cart that the second game came on, and a year more of development time. It would have been totally gobsmackingly amazing.
It's still the greatest gaming experience I've had in years and years!
*G*
Nah. I've actually played a lot more Turok 1 than 2... T1 pisses me off though, what with having to re-do whole levels because I missed one key, and then running out of ammo because the enemies keep spawning and the ammo doesn't...
And as you said, T1 has nearer fog, but it fits the game better, and when you're in caverns it gets pushed back.
T2's fog is persistently close, and as I said, it's rare that you can see from one side of a room to the other (except corridors of course!).
T2's may be farther out, but it's more noticeable and more annoying.
