Not really, though that's a related concept in some ways.

Well that's arguable, but I agree that at the time it did impress people since very visible pixelation in textures was what consumers were accustomed to. Sadly it also made developers lazy and prevented them from later on developing a visual style based on the hardware limitations that was as appealing from a modern perspective as late PlayStation visuals (which enforced consistent texture scaling).

Obviously I wasn't saying these examples looked good, it's mostly an example of the overreliance on texture filtering that I just described.

Was the N64 theoretically capable of displaying unfiltered textures, or was the blurring some sort of hardware-mandated setting?
