They didn't. The Stamper Brothers did. Nintendo never owned Rare.

Best hair rendering (not favorite hairstyle, but actual good looking hair rendering technique)
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
Yeah was gonna say as far as custom characters are concerned FFXV Comrades I thought looked really good.
What game is this?
The character on its own still looks sooooo good!At the time, this was unreal:
DMC5 wins.
Ah man the facial hair is good but I notice the dithering on the hair. :(
You know what I mean. Nintendo did own Rare (49% of it actually) they just never fully owned them. And through this is that for the better part of a decade Rare was the closest to being a first party developer to Nintendo as it gets without actually being one releasing games exclusively on Nintendo platforms. Nintendo sold their 49% to Microsoft and that was the end of it.
That's an in game model? Capcom is killing it this gen!DMC5 wins.
..................They owned 49%. They didn't own Rare. Big difference when the Stamper Bros. owned the entire other 51%.
Yes, I've played through comrades and still play it every so often and it's always been solo, you do have other party members but they're replaced with A.I.
FFXV is one of the best animated games this gen, and certainly for open-world you'd be hard pressed to find another with as much detail and amount of different animations in the game, along with RDR2 of course :D. It's honestly one of the reasons I still play the game from time to time, combat looks gorgeous when you're in the flow of it.
Owning 49% means they own Rare, my friend. Not by themselves or by majority but they do owned a significant part of the company that they were able to keep them from making any game in any platform that's not Nintendo's for almost a decade. They also got to play around with many of Nintendo's characters and IPs in a time when you'd never see that from developers that weren't Nintendo, let alone a non-japanese developer.
Nintendo owned almost half of Rare and to say that they didn't have a lot of influence because of it, even if it wasn't 51% or more, is just an objective lie.
Help me out here.
I've seen this gif a hundred times and reactions like yours.
But I don't get it. What's so bad about the gif?
They have for 3d animation, but its too taxing yet for videogames. At least im glad some studios have the patience to create amazingly well made hair cards.
Yep, acknowledged it in my post.
Both the coat and hair look fantastic here
character models in general are looking pretty damn good in gears 5
Not at all in the same ballpark but I want to bring up Gravity Rush series. It is less about individual strands or even realistic movement but more about it moving in a fun manner that adds flavour to the movement. It is a joy seeing the hair flap crazily in the wind as you soar across the skies. The hair changes direction just as gravity does due to Kat/Raven's powers. It is also worth noting that the hair (and Kat's scarf) are designed to be a visual cue for the players, when staying still her hair should flow towards "natural gravity" and not the gravity Kat has altered to.
The hair adds quite a lot of charm and character to the animation. Seeing the hair flow change rapidly helps convey how wild gravity manipulation would be but it still somehow looks fun.

Just passing through to see, if DMC is posted.
Jup, carry on guys.
Yeah. I think it looks better during gameplay too since it's more subtle when compared to cutscenes.
TR immediately came to my mind.
surprised no one has mentioned tomb raider yet
which to me has the best hair yet
People keep bringing up Tomb Raider and I don't see it. I keep seeing how individual hairs have angular bends all over the place and it's so unnatural looking because of it (see post above mine, the hair going over the collar of her jacket). The FF series since 13 has had incredible hair rendering for their respective times of release.
You crazy look at the coat in relation to the hair due to the wind changing direction. Delicious RE engine GOAT.
The best hair i've seen is probably from naughty dog. It's subtle and not overly bouncy like most of these hair physics from other games. I also like how Nathan Drake hair also reacts to the environment, like getting wet and weighing down for a while, something most games don't do.
In a game that targets 60 fps on consoles that are low-tier PCs to boot.
Yeah. I think it looks better during gameplay too since it's more subtle when compared to cutscenes.
Hah reminds me of this:
Can't wait for DMC V!
DMCV hair looks a bit too buoyant, but it's still pretty good. I don't have a counter example, but I think God of War has the best facial hair.
Sorry but these beards look gross like pubic hair..Yeah, Uncharted 4 by a long shot.
RE2 truck driver guy has the better beard.
The hairs on this beard are way too thick kinda weird.Yeah, Uncharted 4 by a long shot.
I had a thing with Dante's hair before, but 5 is ready to give me a serious fetish. o__OYeah. I think it looks better during gameplay too since it's more subtle when compared to cutscenes.
It will never appears with the current rendering pipeline. the problem of hairworks technology or Aloy hair it generates too much geometry and takes too much resources because current rasterizing is not optimize for subpixel polygon or polygon of pixel size.
https://www.ea.com/frostbite/news/optimizing-the-graphics-pipeline-with-compute
it kills current rasterizing technology and this the reason, we use normal and not displacement map for the details.
We came a long way from generic bald white guy in the 7th gen to play-doh banana hair to RE engine hair rendering tech
I'm both disgusted and hungry at the same time.

For the longest time i believed this was a real person who had a lot of plastic surgery done (and gone very wrong) to look like Michael Jackson.
I'm pretty sure she's a real person and was literally scanned, poor woman would weep reading your comment
