Looking at the Kong's fur it's such a shame that we may never see Kemlings or even King K Rool with scaly HD skin...

It's impressive because DK has never had fur before, he's only ever had a jagged brown layer which was supposed to be his fur.

Funny how the boxart doesn't have all four playable characters. :/ Whoever the fourth one is anyway.

oh thats why? i think if they are going to go with realistic fur they should have made the character models more realistic as well.

I never played jungle beat so I never knew what it looked like, I didn't know they gave him real fur. This is interesting since Iwata said because it was HD they could give DK fur. I guess he was talking SD fur to HD fur.

 

Anyway, HD fur looks waaay better obviously.

Im pretty sure they are just mimicking the marketing bs about resolution that has brainwashed the ps/xbox generation with nonsensical bs in order to appeal to them.

It doesnt make sense because they dont believe it/know they are spouting bs.

'Fur' has nothing to do with 'hd' or what resolution the image is rendered at.

Its just polygons and a semi transparent texture. Has nothing to do whatsoever with the resolution of the graphics.

You make a cone like shape out of polygons around the object you wish to be 'furry' You then draw hairs for the texture, and have the untextured parts of the cone be completely transparant. Ends up looking like a cone or 'shell' by itself. Copy it and Cover the entirety of the object and it quickly starts to resemble fur. You have hair fit for a real time environment. The method has seen several variations, stacked horizantally its called 'shell' fur (jungle beat, sf adventures, realistic okami model, sotc), vertically its 'fins' (mario galaxy fur), but they all sprout from the same concept; and a mixture of techniques looks quite nice.

Before the nonsensical magic of the power 'hd' the girnolis and marketing departments started saying made everything possible, it was erroneously referred to as 'fur shading' by gamz gernolizt despite just being polygons and textures and having nothing to do with shaders. It was the big buzzword back then. 'shaders'

At first devs attempted to educate.... But gamers insisted on believing in magic . So....

When it comes time to pitch your product 'shell texturing' just doesnt have that buzzword magic. It will be ignored if its straight forward and honest.

So embrace the nonsense!!!

Now its 'hd'. 'By the power of hd!!!' 'made possible by the power of hd'.

Its just transparent polygons with hairs drawn on. Nothing to do with hd. But having more powerful processors does enable more layers of those polygons for a denser more realistic appearence. But nothing to do with being rendered at a certain resolution.
