I hope they'd show more gameplay pics. I've no idea how close to the game these are. Looking good, though.

Looking better and better, imo.

Seems the fur was just adjusted slightly, thats all.

Ditto to that. Looks very nice indeed... first thing which came into my head was Banshee from the Amiga. Hope the next clip is beyond 8 seconds!

No, more like the 'fur' is only present in the FMV.

Still, who cares, if it's anywhere near as good as the Dreamcast version (which had no Fur

)...

But that fur effect is probably just layered transparancy...its looks
very simerla (or even a tad bit worse) then Starfox Adventures.

Best Fur on the cube was probably Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, or FFCC (the annoying moggles).
In both case's used in real time, in game, and looking much better then this.

Oh, btw, are you saying these are real time FMVs? Or pre-rendered?
They look real time to me, and I still see shitloads of bunnys.

I think you need to play a few more cube games again really.
Used correctly, and with some tricks, even the cube has done graphics like this. You dont need PS3/Xbox360 style processing power for this stuff.
The Gamecube, let alone the Wii, is fully able to do realtime fur such as is showen on the Rayman screens.

I think purhapes people have become so amazed over "next gen" they are subconsciously scaleing down what the Xbox/GC gen could do. Even without fancy GPU-based shader effects.

Those bunnys look very low poly, imo, so you could easily have large numbers...even moreso with some planes at the back.

ps. This is a yakyak forum, people, feel free to post a lot more pictures of hair/fur filled games

I'm not even going to bother writing a detailed reply to the whole fur thing. Suffice to say, nobody really gives a shit anymore - and this is clearly not the place to discuss something technical in nature without being jumped on by Nintendo fanboys who claim it could be done on the NES.

Suffice to say, it's highly unlikely fur will affect gameplay. In the end it's just needless eye candy - something the Wii really isn't designed around.

In conclusion,

.
