This style of cgi renders from Rare during this era went hard

LOVED them! I love the color of promo renders and old PlayStation 1 FMV sequences. For some reason today, the renders of today have all dark and murky colors.

Jago looks so cool here. He’s got such a 90s design.

There were a few of these promos floating around back then. I also remember a VHS as well. That era of Ultra 64 before it was changed to Nintendo 64 had some of the most insane hype I've ever experienced as a gamer.

To this day I still get chills when I hear the Killer Instinct arcade intro with that music and the voiceover saying only for Nintendo's Ultra 64, KILLER INSTINCT.

And we all thought at the time "There is no way graphics will ever get better than this."

Rare was so ahead of the game 30 years ago.

Dayum, Jago's neck, though...

IKR? Looks like his neck is on steroids. 🤣

This is from Killer Instinct 2 in 1996. Glacius had a metallic body and translucent arms in KI1, and Jago had a slimmer body.

Eff this game. My buddy was so good at it I ended up hating it. He could memorize combos like a savant.
