Portal on the Nintendo 64 is incredible

My pitch: Nintendo should hire people like this to keep making games for its older consoles. Now obviously they'd normally release as digital downloads but they could sell limited edition physical cartridges just to prove that they really are functional games for those consoles.

Incredible 🤩😧

"the enemy of art is a lack of limitations"

witchcraft !

sorcery and witchcraft i tells ya !

how many virgin sacrifices did you make to bring such unnatural forces into existence??

game optimization? never heard of it.

if modern game devs dont do this "optimization" then im sure its just like hyperbole and more kickstarter vaporware! people didnt have better work ethic and clever success back when they had less options. surely all current game devs aren't just spoiled by copy paste assets and idiot-proof pre-fab habits

n64 was an amazing Silicon Graphics machine just had terrible terrible CPU/RAM ratio and was a general mess for developers

wow, this is incredibly impressive ! Dude wanted a new PC but got a Nintendo 64 but he still wanted to play portal soooo badly.

portals gonna be the new doom, can it play it?

N64 came out 11 years before Portal, not 10.

is this an official port or a fan port

So.... How long until HL2 on 64

Media pila facu Peralta, deja de robar tanto

Is the game port completed from start to finish?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat…?!

C'mon James, we know you want to see if Crysis runs on the N64

Valve shoud hire this guy to optimise cs2 wow

Extremely impressive but I'd rather have seen it on a good vintage platform, not the N64.

Think a PII with Voodoo2 could do it? That would be cool.

Nice. I'd like to see portal run on the OG Xbox someday

This is the coolest thing I've seen in so long!!!! Thank you for sharing this discovery!!

I need to get this so my 3 year old son grows up thinking portal came out on it lol

Hearing that the N64 released only 10 years before Portal almost made me turn into dust and blow away in the wind. I'm old as hell.

This is really freaking cool, doesn't even look like much of a demake. This looks closer to a PS2 game to me

Amazing!
Are all the levels/puzzles the same as in the Valve-published game?

how come not a single developer studio back in the day was able to make anything look as good on the same hardware? have people just developed more efficient algorithms or memory management since the late 90s/early 00s ?

banger

Gta vice city possible to port ?! 😂 it’s just matter of time

Been watching the development of this. Also been watching Kaze optimizing Mario 64.

This suggests that porting half-life to the N64 is possible

Can’t wait for a tf2 64 port

The concept of portals have been around since the very beginning of 3D graphics, it's almost a natural progression in experimentation. Still wild to see on the N64 though!

I kind of wish I got an abernic instead of my trimui just for this.

Does this mean you could then play the portal demake as an emulation rom in a PSP N64 emulator, for example?

it's not a port tho.
it's a remake

I can't believe he didn't make a custom cart and just used an Everdrive. Making a custom cart is like a 2 out of 10 on the difficulty scale compared to making Portal 64.

but why, looks like trash and perf is prob garbage

someone port half life 1 to 64 please XD

Now you're playing with power: Portal Power

What I would love to see is Half-Life 1 on the N64! That would be awesome!

poural gon

The audio is the biggest can't believe for me. Do they have an aux audio chip in the ever drive cartridge that makes it possible?

Now lets see Half Life running on there?

Boomers will definitly play this

Now we need Half-Life 3

Anytime I see your videos I click right away. You have some great content and I appreciate what you do.

I wish people just still made original games for old consoles. With processing and storage largely being unlimited today, why not just make games on the old hardware for the aesthetics. The platforms are not nearly drained of potential IMO.

Hopefully Half Life 2 can get the same treatment, that would be insane. and Team Fortress 2/Left 4 Dead.

I will forever and always argue that optimization is the number one most impressive thing a video game developer can do. Who gives a shit how realistic your game looks if it can only run properly on a government supercomputer?
