N64 graphics?  Are you serious?!?  Eternal Darkness was one of the best looking GC games at the time of its release... only the Resident Evil remake and perhaps Rogue Squadron II topped it in the visuals department up to that point!

Is there a joke considering the game that i'm not aware of...? If there is, please share.

 

ED is the worst looking GC game there is. As a fixed angle game, it's easilly what N64 could do, sans the textures. In graphics department, it rivals Majora's Mask and Goldeneye. If you want to say the game is visually the most atmospheric game on Gamecube, i definately agree, but a good looking game... No.

The graphics were not even close to N64-level. The rolling fog alone would have been too much for that system to handnle, and the character models - at the time - looked pretty damn good.

Technically speaking it wasn't the best-looking game, but on a technical level it was good enough to carry the art style, which left a very positive impression.

It wasn't the best-looking Gamecube game that year - not even close, as Starfox Adventures and Metroid Prime both released that year - but it was far from the worst-looking in the Gamecube's library. It wasn't even in that neighborhood.

Edit: It wasn't fixed angle, either, the camera would follow your character.

 

It started its life as a N64 game, btw. But it got delayed so they then changed it to a GC game
