I'm honestly ok with this. Not because I frown on "screen looking," but because it's a cool concept. I wonder what kind of tv screens they are, considering the game plays better on tube tvs.
I had no idea there was an unreleased remaster for the 360. Quite upset I can't play it.
Hardware to split it on four screens, as in the thing that's been done for decades with a matrix of monitors? That tech is probably dirt cheap now.
Back in the day my friends and I put two pieces of cardboard to form a cross and affixed that to the screen, and saw so we could only see our quadrant.
There are I believe N64 emulators modified to render in high resolution, with an overclocked CPU so the game runs at 60 FPS, and possibly with texture packs. . I'm not a graphics snob so that looks pretty damn good, without it feeling like a different game.
Ya I was about to say can’t Linux do this out of the box? $10k isn’t much for a consultant and equipment though.
I think the headline is kind of needlessly provocative too. The quote was that it took about $10k in hardware to achieve it, not that they spent that much. They may have had a bunch of that equipment laying around, accumulated over years.
