Eh, I'm really done now...we'll just have to wait til December 3 for those who think these are all CG...

I messaged Twesterm back when the discussion started to get him to confirm the status of the image in question, which Legend agreed to accept (since after all Twesterm does actually work in the industry), but it doesn't look like he'll be on tonight to confirm the screenshot as CGI or in-game.  Oh well.

First of all, the fact that you have to bring up another thread to attack me here only highlights your inability to argue this point. Second of all, you didn't prove anyone wrong, you are simply pulling things out of context from another thread like you did in the crow eating thread to try and say the mods are all wii fanboys.

The thread you are referring to the OP claimed that nintendo had invented it. You know what let me just quote exactly what I said so you can't take it out of context and flat out lie anymore.

"Well someone is going to patent and own the technology, thats how the system works. I would rather it be a well known company who has proven innovative and capable of putting ideas to use. Especially if that company truly came up with the idea in the first place.

Granted I would prefer ideas to be used freely but thats not how it works usually. "

You don't have to care what my opinion is for anything, but when you are completely off base and refuse to admit you're wrong and then try to attack people crossthreads to a different topic by lying about what was said then I have to ask why should anyone care what you say?

PS - Someone sending you a message asking if you are a holocaust denier is hardly reason to suggest naznatips should be banned when the comment is obviously not implying that for anyone who takes the time to read it. One person missreading it is not a big deal.

What does CGI stand for, and what does it mean? I'm guessing it stands for "Computer Graphics Interpretation". How close was I?

Computer Generated Imagery.  So, pretty close.

Interestingly enough, when you think about it, every single video game ever made, all the way back to the NES or even Atari 2600 are all displaying CGI.  They are all computers, and they are all generating imagery in realtime and putting it on the screen.  But when people use "CGI" they're usually referring to images or video that were rendered in much higher detail than it is possible to do in realtime, and saved to be played back later.

The problem is that Legend thinks that all movies (non battle) are CGI. He did not understand that games can use the in game character models for the movies. RE4 for Gamecube was so good that the ingame models were used in the movies. The RE4 for PS2 had to use pre-rendered cutscenes. No one can deny that SSBB trailers have a lot of cutscene that are not from the gameplay, but they are real time cutscenes. That means the character models look the same in movies and gameplay. It is not the deal we had in FF8 that just after the FMVs our eyes would hurt from the graphical quality drop.

I took computer science at university so please spare me by trying to make up bullshit claims about me not understanding the difference between cutscenes that are prerendered and ones that are done with the game's engine.

And I was a famous astronaut. Funny how you can be anything to people you've never met. What grade did you get in that class legend. Because that image is NOT CGI, how complicate is it to understand. You're not right and no one else is wrong, so just admit it.

Cut it out dtewi.

We've already explained to Legend how the Smash Bros pics are ingame screenshots, not CGI, so there's no need to drag this on any longer.

Does anyone else have comparison shots? I just read through 3 pages expecting to see more of the goodness i saw on the first page :P

Btw: where did the OP go?
