REBIRTH (GameCube FMV Tech Demo Spaceworld 2000)

[mspeter97]

just saying that this shows things that the wii is uncapable of

[blaircolon36]

Your vid went viral on Armenia

[atomickid]

hey this is just the mana tree !! With "chrono trigger" musics like

[Ortheos2006]

Resident evil 4 looked this good, minus the animations and shit, which isnt a fair comparison because this is just a tech demo not a game.

[TheNinwii]

this is just like Pixar

[tweltery]

Some recent Wii 2 rumor says it's going to launch with a new IP that's "visually beautiful". I hope it's this or at least something similar.

[tweltery]

@tweltery Well, I know it won't be this, but hey, a man can dream. :(

[ceron2008]

this is the real GC graphics

[nerozero25]

Was that a fucking TREE?!?!?!?

[grayboy964]

nintendo should re-anounce those games and make them for the wii

[ordersol80]

Gamecube the first step for Nintendo Rebirth

[danielusho]

i downloaded this video back in 2000 and i remember that it was cut in two parts because de 56k downloads were very slow, good memories :')

[LyricalMurderer1]

u guys gotta realize something; there's a huge difference between throwing together a 3 minute video of cutscenes versus making a full blown 8-10 hour GAME.... a 3 minute video can be done in less than a month by any respectable studio whereas a game will take YEARS.

I remember watching this video back in 2001 on my 56K modem. Loved every minute of it (took forever to load). amazing memories. Do i wish it became a game? Of course, but i realize that the gamecube has gave us so many classics.

[TheBelva85]

This ain't real time stuff. 

[Eichro]

If those are ingame graphics, It's really sad to see most Wii games look worse than this.

[LyricalMurderer1]

@Eichro if u think that's real time, please lay off the crack pipe

[ceron2008]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooow that's the truth potential of gamecube, woooooooooooooooooooooooooow, i see is same to 360 graphics our ps3 graphics, gamecube have one greath potential, and ours never see one greath game in gamecube with that's graphics, weel the resident evil remake have real graphics :D, but that's the potential of gamecube, 5 stars :D

[FruschendrixFan01]

@ceron2008 That's the potential of Gamecube cutscenes, it could never handle something like this. Just like PS3 and 360 can do games like this, but cutscenes are far better.

[ceron2008]

@FruschendrixFan01 aaaaaaah, hehe thanks for tell me that, well the better GC graphics are resident evil remake, very very real ^^, greethins.

[FruschendrixFan01]

@ceron2008 Ya if this was the potential of gaming on the Gamecube I'd be pissed at whoever was making games that looked so much worse than this. I'll take Wind Waker's graphics over anything any day, power isn't necessary.

[FruschendrixFan01]

@ceron2008 That's the potential of Gamecube cutscenes, it could never handle something like this. Just like PS3 and 360 can do games like this, but cutscenes are far better.

[gumgum99]

wow, still amazing that this was over 10 years ago. 0_0

[CabooseAzul]

lol

it is showed things like self shadow..

The GC wasnt capable of those tech features.. not even the most GC tech advanced game (RE4) has those kinda of features.

I call this bullshit

[xdlugia1]

Deep...

[gmdone]

the song is SOOO similar to one of Shadow of the Colossus

[peacemaker083]

Gamecube sure is powerful. Look at Pikmin 1 & 2 and Resident Evil 4. I thoroughly enjoyed Pikmin 2.

[MiraiLegend]

I've been looking for the song since I saw this demo back when, does anyone know what it's called?

[wmotamedi03]

The water effects that the gamecube could produce were outstanding for the time. Look at 1:48.

It's a shame that stuff isn't in real time.

[Truebigden]

Great Demo. Beautiful soundtrack!

[kanislupus25]

i guess this is the true power of gamecube that any company used. It is a true shame.

Gamecube was a great machine indeed

[DarkWolfIOI]

Wow! That was amazing, even by next-gen standards.

[JudderMan25]

This is a long shot, but does anyone know the name of this music or where I can download it...?

[Niektendo]

i have a question

WHY DO ALL THE GOOD GAMES GET CANCELLED!!

[animeeeeeeeeeeee]

i dunno

[Zawicki1]

TRUE! Sonic X-treme looked AMAZING!

[MyThIcaL343]

@Niektendo because its not even a game...its just their strategie to market the console by making a "demo" of a "game" that actualy never was in development...it was the same for xbox and the same with ps3..look up a game called eight days

[leviatan64]

@Niektendo this was not a game, was a simply tech demo in real Time. That showed what the console could do.

[111olbap]

@Niektendo This is a tech demo. It is not a game. It's an animation in real time.

[blasphemy06]

I think Rare could have pushed Gamecube to these lenghts had they stayed with Nintendo. Just looking at Starfox Adventures it was looking pretty good for their first and only game on Gamecube.

[nooblet911]

true

[ItsJustAC]

Probably. Often there's so much that can be achieved in older h/w with time & vision, but not all developments have the luxury of that. I do think what we're seeing was possible in real-time on GC, the FMV looks surprisingly outdated when you see some of the techniques used in modern titles (dare I say Crysis) and its the type of scenery tha would use HQ textures and high poly objects as opposed to lots of normal maps.

[XxDarkGundamxX]

@blasphemy06

I know right!? SFA was best looking game on gamecube, I can't believe Microsoft bought Rare...

[MoonlightArtist]

Looks like a next-gen video lol

I think Twilight Princess wasn't too far off from looking like this ;)

[HookakidLLC]

Rebirth used every spec of the gamecubes power, thats why its so brilliant.

Devs got lazy and half-assed every game they made.

If every gamecube game was as beautiful as this, it would still be going today.

[FaronCuca]

This proves that the Gamecube was a pretty powerful system!

[tommarques]

so the Wii!

[fooxmac]

this should have been a game...

better he should have been a character

in smash brow brawl.

[mattias000]

I got all next gen consoles, so what?

how about you just let us enjoy our retro games and play our next gen games whenever we feel like it.

[Tim0o]

This is a beautiful movie, shame it went so unnoticed.

[LKDesign]

Those Rebirth clip soundtracks reminds me of Mononoke Hime or Bravehart...

[kadenzza]

Why does this have 'FMV' in the title? It's an in-engine tech demo, not a prerendered cutscene.

[JudderMan25]

Shame this wasn't made in to a proper game. It has that... Nintendo feel I haven't since the N64.

[TamashiiHiroka]

People, this is a TECH DEMO! Not a cancled game!

[sircapone13]

we know. i remember when i first saw this i was so dissapointed that it was never turned into a game. i still want this to be a game. i mean just imagine having this as the opening scene and you're this tree that is also a society of tree's. he's their saviour. theres an evil race that lives in volcano's and shit like that, that are destroying their forest. i mean yeah not the best idea but theres so much they could have done with this.

[YourNamex]

There is something about this that i dont like.. Cant actually point my finger on it but it doesnt look very exiting. But i really would have liked to play it though :)

[mariomguy]

there really isn't any objective or story. it couldn't be a game by that sense, but if it was a game, the gamecube could run it.

[Fischerspoonraff]

Wow, this is beautiful.

Unique games like this aren't given a chance but we see a new madden every year. It's a very sad world indeed.

[mariomguy]

we barely see something this amazing on new consoles now, 7 years after the gamecube.

[takeresponsability]

thanks to madden, halo, gta

[cheeseluvva]

I view this video and I cry, really. I mean look at the f**king garbage visuals we are being fed on the Wii at the moment. I know the console is capable of shitloads more. Yes, I know this video is a mix of real-time GC visuals and FMV, but I made meh point. Just wait till Factor 5 get ahold of the Wii, EA and all of those other squandering, lazy bastards will be f**ked, and rightly so.

[sjukjohn]

:( why didnt it come out? it looks so beuatiful ^^

[maxvixxo]

Why it was cancelled the most beautiful game i ever seen T.T

[mariomguy]

it wasn't a game, it was a demo to show off the gamecube's capabilities. it wasn't cancelled, because it couldn't be cancelled.

[zeioIIDX]

Seven years ago?! Wow. I can't even think of any GameCube game cutscenes that were this good looking...except maybe Resident Evil 0,1,4.

[mandude83]

lol and it only took a further 7 years and anouther gen for games to have this quality ingame

[mariomguy]

in a few of them... not all.

[nirniva]

Actually, this isn't prerendered, as it was a tech demo to show off the Gamecube's graphical power.

That is to say, we could have had graphics like the ones shown in that video, graphics which rival modern systems...on the Gamecube...seven years ago.

*sigh*

[whiteguysamurai]

Why did the gamecube end up with such terrible looking games then?

[boystone]

such as???

[whiteguysamurai]

pikman?

[HookakidLLC]

Pikmin*

and tbh, Pikmin was one of the top rated games from Nintendo.

A terrible looking game I would say would be all the harry potter ones -.-

[IMBSproductionz]

they did?

[mariomguy]

so you expect every game to push the gamecube 100%?

[HookakidLLC]

That would of been better yes.

pushing it to its full potential is what makes the games more awesome.

[chschmed]

long live the gamecube

[BluRayDisk]

The Music is like Shenmue, but the game is like Pikmin it was really good looking though.

[Emmenite]

That sort of sad violin music near the end reminds me of Princess Mononoke a lot.

[PlebAlmighty]

Thats because it was done by the same composer =D

[Emmenite]

I really like these Rebirth tech demos. It's almost like a Pikmin with emotion. I wish they would do something with it on the Wii. I do like the other video a lot more, much more emotion.

[spoonslap]

....what the? I didn't know my GC can do that?

[HookakidLLC]

Yup, this is its full potential which sadly, no game pushed it to 100% =\

[mmunro1]

This is a REAL TIME technology demonstration for the GC. Go and look up the Xbox Tech demo too.

[airraideagle]

@ mmunro1: No, wrong.

Most of this is PRE-RENDERED CGI, played back as FMV on GameCube.

A small portion of it was rendered real-time, (0:22 to 1:06) but real-time on what? An actual GCN? or an early dev-kit or prototype? Or a PC or workstation with hardware not-related to GCN? MixCore never said.

[anthonygamer]

lol @ tech demos!

[mirailink]

Where is that song from? I've heard it somewhere, but I can't remember. LOTR or Shenmue?

[omarchafa]

Wait, so this was rendered in real time not CGI?

[xtinaQ8]

lolz ..

the only thing that real is the music XD

[linkdarkshadow]

This is the kind of video that makes you want to cry for no reason whatsoever. Nice vid. ^_^

[legrax]

GC is very strong and total flop

[Benny11112222]

Just like PS3 :P

[xiansucrose]

That was a great demo. Too bad I haven't seen anything this good for Gamecube.

[ranmahoney]

Yoko Yoshida did the sound!? She's the person who did the music for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.

[NxakoNecv]

oh GOD why did that make more games like this WHY!?!

Please give us more please.

[rvbar]

All hardware working only for this video... Very good!

remember!!! only for this video. not is a game, this is a Video in real time guys!...

Game Cube is very strong.

[randomhajile14]

Awesome! Maybe for Wii?

[DarkDooM]

Its a gamecube tech-demo from spaceworld 2000. The real-time scenes, generated by gamecube hardware goes from 0:22 to 1:06

[gesi1223]

This is an FMV it shows nothing about gameplay or what'll really be about.

[mrsaturdaynight]

this would have been a good game!

[ShadowHitokiri]

man, this is beautiful, just beautiful... too bad it doesn't exist :(

[MalonsMilk]

please let cutscenes like these be in twilight princess...

[Willy105]

They are, but with text.

[nirniva]

Sadly, no, didn't quite happen.

[MrSega]

A Nintendo superou este techdemo, quem não jogou Resident Evil é que não sabe o que esta falando, FATO.

[XINTSUAI]

Nintendo Lie...

[Parms]

Are these actually GameCube graphics? They're way better than those in any GameCube game (apart from Resident Evil 4). Thanks for uploading this. The music is very Shenmue-like.
