Cute.

Fire Emblem Three Houses. Scheduled for 2019. Nintendo has made over 300 million from the FEH gacha game. This is what their AAA Switch FE game looks like. Fujoshi garbage and awful N64 era quality textures and animations.

Why do you care? Sounds like you don't even like Pokemon.

Zoomers love graphics like the new Pokemon's, it looks just like Fortnite after all.

I'm not a zoomer, i've been playing pokemon for 20 years, and i've always wanted a brand new console pokemon game to look like some of the wii shit, or pokken.

Stop with this retarded meme, gamefreak are filthy rich and can easily put effort into a brand new fucking console game, there is no excuse for bad textures, reused models, and just an ugly game in general, you're an actual cuck idiot.

Wouldn't look too great for even a PS3 game.

With that said the open-world thing is awesome. I've been waiting to hunt Pokemon in the long grass in 3D since the N64

GameFreak is basically getting a free pass with Sword and Shield when the most incompetent developer Nintendo has in this Switch era is IntelligentSystem. Fire Emblem 3 Houses looks like pre-alpha and its releasing in July. YUUUUUUUUUUP.

Why are you trying to put pokemon is a higher tier the fire emblem when fire emblem looks exactly the same if not better?

Both are pretty bad here buddy. I'm not sure what kind of point you're trying to make

This kind of shit always makes me upset that no matter what, most Switch games just have an off look or feel to them. Like sometimes I still feel like everyone in Smash Ultimate has a weird plastic sheen to them and it bothers me if I look for too long

You want huge open-world fields to look equally as good as completely restricted battle arenas?

Show me a single screenshot in Pokemon Sword and Shield that looks worse than Fire Emblem 3 Faggot Houses Featuring Fujoshi Artist Chinatsu Kurahana.

It's kind of funny how Nintendr*nes defend everything GameFreak does meanwhile actual Pokemonfans give criticism.

This. Us true Pokefans must always accept the shit they feed us and support this giant corporation.

Because i've been playing pokemon since forever and i've always wanted a console pokemon game, and i always expected it to actually look good?
Not like it belongs on a ps2 which came out in the year 2000?

Ever new gen we get new pokemon models, except for the past 6 years? this is just fucking disgusting.

The Pokemon Gamecube games look better.

Yes?

At least the gameplay looks promising

>Show me a single screenshot in Pokemon Sword and Shield that looks worse than Fire Emblem 3 Houses

Literally every shot during the pokemon direct. Even the irl ones that had Masuda in them

Cringe

Even a niche devs like falcom can make cold steel and ys8 look better.

Pokemonfags just love eating shit I guess.

every avid nintendo fan fits the former description
never actually seen it happen with the latter
but don't feel pressure to suddenly start hating on the games of the only brand you play just to prove yourself less of a drone

The switch is supposed to be AT LEAST as strong as a ps3, need i show you the open world games on that consoles?
With a million more assets and details? Are you fucking serious right now?

Pokemon does 10 million with every series of game, and there games cost a fraction to make, they should put effort into a brand new console game, actually make an engine worth using, actually make new models for once in 6 fucking years, this shit is unexceptable.

Pokemon Sword and Shield have shadows. It's being released in November.

Fire Emblem 3 Queer Houses as drawn by an otome has dynamic shadows of actually having zero shadows in most scenes! Very cool Koei-Tecmo and IntelligentSystem! July release! $60!

Game Freak has recycled models since forever. All the Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon in Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness used the Stadium 2 models

"Huge"

Nothing we saw was huge. just because its open world doesn't make it BOTW

And the game literally just looks like an upscaled version of sun and moon. the character models even still have their dumbass plastered on faces.

Gamefreak is one of the most profitable companies in gaming but all they ever put out is low effort budget shit, even though it sells ridiculously well. This game should look better than Zelda, for all the reasources GF has at it's disposal

...

It legitimately looks worse than Dynasty Warriors 2.

From gen 2, to 3, to 4, to 5 to 6, we have gotten brand new models, seeing different version of each model has always been a massive appeal of the game and we haven't had that for the past 6 years.

Game freak being shit in the past is no fucking excuse, gen 5 was the last time they gave a shit.

Nah. It looks fine.

It's shipping in November, even if they were to alter it somehow (they won't), they can't make too drastic a change in such a short time.

I'm seriously thinking someone is sabotaging Three Houses to get another delay so they can keep contracting work with Koei Tecmo. This game's visuals have to be butchered on purpose TBQH.

I ain't trying to excuse them. I'm calling them lazy since the start. And agreed. Gen 5 was peak love and care for the sprites.

Holy shit that waterbike looks dumb as fuck

>N64 era quality textures

I'm not sure you've seen N64/PSX games before user

Nigger it looks like an upscaled 3DS game, why is this acceptable to you? Do you think that the most successful media franchise on the planet, that makes billions of dollars for all companies involved, can't afford to make good environmental and character textures, animations and geometry? These aren't little indie guys my man.

Pokemon is pseudo open world, 3 Houses isn't. There's absolutely no debating which team at Nintendo is putting in more effort and that ain't IntelligentSystem despite having to use another developer to help them finish the game. GameFreak is doing fine.

>biking outfit
fucking garbage, WHY

I don't know what the point of this thread is now, but I'm enjoying the FE autist sperging out

It's not like I'm hating the game, but you have to be absolutely delusional to not acknowledge the fact that the game visually looks like shit.

Because I care more about the gameplay and designs than the actual graphics.

looks like one of those vita games that was originally a psp game.

Yeah, back in the gba era the games looked great.

You people are so disgusting.
This is a multi million dollar company, they could easily higher an entire team to make new models of every single pokemon.

there are ps3 games with a million more assests then pokemon, there is no excuse for reusing 6 year old models on your fucking CONSOLE pokemon game.

If we went back 10 years, and told me the next like CONSOLE pokemon game we all dreamed of would look like this shit i'd drop the series.

Isn't it a pokemon fan trying to make Sword and Shield look better?

>GameFreak is doing fine.
Fuck off, Ohmori.

Attached: 1549737289442.jpg (905x675, 102K)

But you said it looks fine and justified it by saying that there are almost a thousand Pokemon, which means that environmental textures and lighting have to look bad for some reason? Again you did not say you didn't care about graphics, you said it looked fine. So you actually like how this looks. What does gameplay have to do with this looking like shit?

>It's artstyle!

Ninokino ps3 is exactly what pokemon should at least look like. Actual artstyle, fluid animations, decent textures, there is no excuse.

I don't play Fire Emblem at all actually.

Based bootlicker drone defending greedy companies when there are games ON THE SAME FUCKING CONSOLE SUCH AS BOTW that look MILES BETTER THAN THIS SHIT

Wouldn't have that much of a problem with three houses and pokemon sword and shield if they actually tried to optimise up to and post release

Attached: 0.jpg (400x400, 15K)

I'm not saying this looks amazing or anything but are there any open worldish games on switch that look a LOT better? Botw looked rough

if the switch's launch was delayed by like 1-2 years it would have a gtx10 chip in it, it would have been twice as powerful at a much lower cost and lower power consumption and it would zero problems with any of these things. I guess wait for the switch pro to come out if they cant even be bothered with simple AA but considering how faggots are calling it an artstyle i dont expect them to upgrade older games for the newer switch

>POKEMON GRAPHICS NEEDS TO BE PHOTOREALISTIC REEEEEEEEEE

That's how I know your opinion doesn't matter.

ALWAYS AND FOREVER:
Gameplay>>>>UI>>>Controls>Story>Graphics

Try billions, sport.Pokemon is one of the most valuable IPs in gaming, and probably entertainment in general.

I agree with you but I still don't want a new game to look like it's a PS2 port.

Botw looks better than this though

>Graphics don't matter and the game should look like shit!
Fuck off bootlicker drone.

the gameplay looks shit too so your points are pretty weak.

And it's not just that it doesn't look great, it's that it looks like a slightly higher resolution Sun and Moon, further proving GF's laziness and unwillingness to invest in their games despite how much money they make

>gameplay

seriously man, this is supposed to be the latest entry of one of the most famous licence of video games every created, with its first mainline game on the console, release shortly before christmas
it looks like fucking garbage and the new gimmick is a steaming hot pile of shit

No way fag

Mario Odyssey and BotW both look A LOT better.

Three Houses looks like ass, but it looks like less as then when it was first revealed back at E3. Pokemon won't improved at all because it's GF
Even when you do you wind up with a game like Xenoblade 2 which did dramatically upgrade it's graphics from it's poorly received reveal and still gets shit on for one reason or another.

yes, I agree, which is why I said they usually go with the former (of what you said)

It's not the graphics that bothers me, it's the fact that the games struggle to run at 30FPS while still looking like hot garbage.

No one's asking for photorealism. We're just asking for it to not look like shit. I agree that gameplay takes priority but I wouldn't play a shit-stained napkin just cuz it felt like Symphony of the Night

Couldn't they use BOTW's engine or something? Jesus fucking christ this looks like shit.

Check out the mini map, it might look like the textures are still streaming in but no, this is a UI feature. The map's supposed to also look like shit. Art direction!

Fate/Grand Order unironically looks better than this trash.

Wind Waker is artstyle. This isn't artstyle, it's just bad.

Fuck if I know, it's embarrassing either way if you feel so strongly about a game that you feel you have to defend it online when it's not even fucking out and you haven't even played it yet.

>the difference is that I expect little out of gamefreak
but I did not expect anything out of them, that's the worst part.
they managed to take the mega evo and make a worse thing out of it
and no, I don't give a damn about graphics, I did not buy a portable nintendo console expecting great things, but at least have an artstyle, something consistent that make it easy to recognize.
Just look at the first champion, they added so much shit it looks like some furry's OC
and look at the legendaries, they are absolutely retarded

Because pokemon fans are holding so much corporate cum in their mouths it's starting to spill out here

God I miss GBA Fire Emblem games...

Man Gamefreak is so lucky. They have the worst devs in the industry but are the most successful purely by IP brand.

Did you see the direct?
All the characters look like cartoon characters and the graphics borrows heavily from BOTW.
It'll look passable on the Switch just like how BOTW and Smash did superceded their trailers.

at least Pokemon will run just fine unlike XC2's 368p resolution at 20fps and the memory leak which made the game unplayable.

Okay, I'll bite. What am I supposed to be offended by in this image? Looks somewhere between a PS2 and a lower-budget PS3 game. What's so bad about that?

the only thing is that it was acceptable when it was on underpowered handhelds

It's not Pokemonfans defending GameFreaks jewery but retarded Nintendo drones. Pokemonfans hate GameFreak for Gen 6, 7 and the disaster that was Lets Go.

My dream for gaming is for it to only reach PS2 quality, maybe PS3 early days. Then all the other processing power was used for draw distance, clutter, and AI routines.
After Morrowind/Oblivion there was no reason for all rpgs not to have day night cycles and weekly routines for all NPCs.

I really hope you don't think gen 7's amount of cutscenes was anywhere as bad as the ds days

I don't think they are the most successful, maybe with all media combined, but otherwise I'm willing to say that call of duty or minecraft makes more money right now.

There is no way that mini-map is real. It's borderline useless like that.

To me, smash is the only game on the switch that looks legitimately good. The rest of them looking like a 3DS emulator running on a really good laptop

It's a switch game.

I guess that's the case. I'm just sad that genius sorority probably won't make a new 3D game.
Can't wait for Atlus' attempt on Switch graphics, TMS looked fine on the WiiU

The ps2 came out in the year 2000, this shit looks possibly worse then a lot of ps2 shit lmfaooooooo

Yes when the models were varying leveels of low effort crap, they bothered to changed them every region. Now that we ha e peak 3D high quality models since day 1 they dont have to
Basically they used BW models since the GBA games. So they don't have to slowly revise into something better every year

Smash looks great. Like I think it and Odyssey look the best. I just feel like sometimes lighting or whatever makes some models look plastic to me

>ambitious devs testing out new hardware or pushing its limits vs incompetents
Makes sense really

>Nintendo switch will be as strong as the ps4 they said
>Nintendo switch will be as strong as the ps3 they said
>Nintendo switch is actually weaker then a ps2

All the critical animations in the GBA games were so satisfying. I wish there were games nowadays that captured the feeling those games and Advanced Wars DS have

and? Does everything have to look as good as nintendo's A-team doing their hardest work to shove a game inside of it? By that I mean, what are you really expecting? It feels like you have some idea of what it should look like, but you aren't saying what it is.

The new Pokemon just looks like shit, plain and simple.

>the character designer is also responsible for the 3D models and the textures

It's amazing the lengths some people will go to ti blame women of shit

still looks better than the new pokemon game

I bet you can't do raids online with your friends

The graphics don't actually look too bad to me anymore. They're as best as the Switch could probably get for a game like this. Could be better? With better hardware yes. Bad? No, and you're gay if you disagree.

The PS3 is a 2006 console. The Switch is a 2017 console. It doesn't even have anti-aliasing applied. The PS3 is getting closer to 15 years, that's what you're comparing a Switch 2019 1st party Nintendo game to.

Age of consent is 14 in Japan.

Is this game a tech demo? It looks like a tech demo.

Tech demos are usually built to showcase the upper limits of an engine/graphics fidelity so no, it doesn't look like a tech demo at all.

I can excuse the bad graphics if the game ran at 60FPS instead of struggling to run at 30FPS.

You know there's no shadows because a cloud is moving overhead, right? Watch the trailer again, the weather in these areas is dynamic.

they used every asset on route 1 and still wasn't enough to get on par with BOTW WiiU
I wish every person at gamefreak was starving in the streets of tokyo rn

At the federal level but there are regional laws that set it higher pretty much everywhere.

They should have went for a full cellshaded look like BOTW or Wind Waker instead of this god awful mobile game style.

You know, KD really doesn't look as good as I remember. Notably, the colors are really desaturated compared to later entries.

I wish that the game wasn't forgotten. I put more hours into it than Splatoon, and I love Splatoon. Alas, paid internet is for fags so I sold them.

The higher the quality of the imagie the fucking uglier it looks what the fuck.
idk why i was expecting it took look like the wii games but open world.

Or like Ni No Kuni. Even that looked better and it came out 10 years ago for the fucking PS3

I'm not sure what this is supposed to indicate, OutRun 2 was an arcade game and also a racing game, whose only goal was to make small, isolated sections of track look as good as possible as well as displaying at 60FPS for gameplay purposes. Do you realize that not all games have the same goals and scope, much less the same talent, budget, time, etc.? No game is made in a void user.

so this is the power of nintendo

Not trying to defend the lazy texture work of GF, but stuff like this is why we live in an age where Software takes the back seat to Hardware. The past decade Software has gotten worse and worse in comparison to Hardware. Dev's just keep pumping texture sizes and polygon counts while making the same games they've been making for years. Piggybacking on hardware to make their diminishing returns run halfway decently.

I wish this game looked better, but If this game's visuals are the worse thing about it thats far from awful. I guess Im asking for lower standards which isnt fair, but you guys get what I mean right?

Games are gonna keep running at 30 on new systems if we refuse to let developers not put so much man power into textures.

Again this doesnt really apply to GF because I suspect this game will run like shit anyway.

Yeah but the game fucking sucked

>They should have went for a full cellshaded look like BOTW or Wind Waker
BOTW has "normal" textures for ground and buildings like in Pokemon. They also look pretty bad, but Pokemon is next level bad.

yeah, that's a real WTF

they have realized the natural extremes of what they can accomplish as a company of their size, sadly even Nintendo is too small to have wide range of production like everybody used to do in 80s/90s. Ironic to this thread is that a big part of the problem is that graphicsfags demand everything look "good" which means you spend more time and money than ever on making the game visuals.

Well as evidenced by this shitty thread, people still care far too much about what screenshots will look like, so devs have to just shit around with that crap even when they aren't a big company that can manage that kind of effort on a single project.

Yes and so does nu-Pokemon

Again I feel bad doing this in a Pokemon thread since they're not optimizing experts anyway, but it's a shame priorities are still like this ever since, like what, Genisis?

What ps1 game is that?

I don't get it. Why doesn't GF just do what the rest of Nintendo does and ask Monolith Soft to put together at least halfway interesting environments?

You are right, they are clearly not doing a great job of graphics optimization, I can only wonder why, incompetence, lack of time, hard to say. We shit on GF a lot but they are still being made to shit out a pokemon game on a yearly basis or so.

To answer your question however, graphics have been a selling point for 40 years, ever since Intellivision had the first ads comparing their visuals with that of Atari. Graphicsfags (and marketers appealing to them) are a real problem in gamedev, you can see how games can be freed when graphics are de-emphasized (ie. Dwarf Fortress being as incredibly complex as it is would likely be impossible if it had to fully render the game's visuals).

I will say that it felt like we were moving forward in good ways with graphics to a point, it's just once we hit the HD era, shit just got too expensive. Remember when MGS4 made headlines because it cost so much to develop that they would need to sell 500,000 copies just to break even? Nowadays games are failures when they sell 5 times that, and we don't even blink an eye, but there was a time when having 100k copies sold meant you could keep on producing games (and even ones comparable to what the "big dogs" were putting out). Those days are sadly far behind us.

this looks like a desert but theres only 1 spot on the galar map that could be a desert and its WAY too small
another island perhaps?

It's just a normal location with a sandstorm weather effect

that's east london, mate

I don't get it. It looks good to me. The artstyle is gorgeous, and the graphics are solid ps3 tier. Not mind blowing, but it's visually nice.

Considering that game and it's expansion is coming to switch, it'll be an interesting comparison between the two versions.

It looks about the same.

wtf is this

The insta-cucked combo

>These screenshots were made in engine thats not using switch specs

yikes

These trolley hypotheticals are getting out of hand.

Fuck GameFreak and fuck Nintendo
We need new Pokemon games like Gale of Darkness

Man the game's environments are ugly as hell, Gamefreak is lucky fire emblem looks the way it does otherwise this shit would be the ugliest first party title on the platform easy. I like most of the new pokemen shown though.

GF has no imagination, look at these pictures you posted. I wish gamefreak werent bad at making games. They have the brand that will continue to sell big, but that also means they have the money to do something incredible but they continue doing the bare minimum.

Vita looks way cleaner
(which means better and way more pleasing to the eyes)

They could have made the extra soldiers look good by giving them uniforms to hid the fact that they are all the same two models.

Do you even have standards? Its not like people are expecting this to be the next step in games or anything either, this game just looks dissapointing visually, for any developer this should look bad to you. The game will probably be alright since its pokemon and they never really deviate from the core of it, but you really have to ignore a lot of shortcomings by now if you think the game looks just fine.

>seeing different version of each model has always been a massive appeal of the game
Lol no one actually believes this right??? The massive appeal of Pokemon has always been about monster collecting. They can look however they want but catching taming and breeding is what Pokemon has been about. Take your autistic ass else were.

Yeah, the graphics are a goddamn travesty but everything else I've seen in the game is keeping me interested, just barely. At least the graphics can't get worse at this point.

It's staggering just how fucking incompetent GameFreak are. It's not even amusing at this point, it's just straight up fucking baffling. They could straight up hired a few teenagers with a month's worth of experience playing around in Unity and they would be able to make a better looking game than this.

Not just one of the most famous video games, literally the single biggest media franchise in the entire world.

It's not the graphics that bother me, it's the framerate. It shouldn't be running that slow for the visuals that are being shown.

This game lacks both

Yeah but what the fuck is going on with GameFreak and IS
GameFreak make another team work on Pokémon Let's Go and people shitted on it but ended up looking better than Sword and Shield
IS Make another team make Fire emblem Wariors the game ends up looking better than fire emblem three houses

At this point you need to see that both of those developpers are awful and incompetent at making their own IPs

In the end I still think Pokémon look just ok but Three Houses looks hideous

3d rendering was a mistake

you got the open world you kept begging for so it's really that you're looking for reasons to be angry at this point

>Can't come up with a legitimate complaint
>"b-but the world is empty"

Jesus christ, everytime. You can't make this shit up.

FEW looks like shit though.

What 3DS game is this?

Which PS2 game is that?

The fuck are you on? Are you confusing the two? Or maybe you're just le epic trolling nintendo fans? Either way your wrong and shouldn't be here.
And by "here" I mean this planet.

Get off.

It's crazy just how well oblivion holds up, aspects of it have aged incredibly poorly yes, but it's overall a very attractive and visually inspired game, particularly the ruins and the forests

I see what you did there

To be fair that image is modded all to shit.

I can agree on that the textures of the maps are not that beautiful but still way better than Three houses especially when you look at the characters in Warriors

>empty open world
not again

AAAAAAAAAA

I wasn't referring specifically to that picture, just speaking generally

>have fucking power

Yes.

Straight up looks like someone tried making a "high res" texture mod for fucking Mega Man Legends.

why does every switch game either look like an early ps2 game or at best a unity asset flip?

So who's ready for this to be the new Castelia/Lumiose, and be the only area like this in the entire game?

you got the food you kept begging for so it's really that you're looking for reasons to be angry at this point

It looks pretty good and will look even better in 1080p actually playing it, and not as a low res screenshot.

EH?? have you played a ps3 game? You know gta5 is a ps3 game? gta4? ninokoni? naruto storm series?

Someone post the screencap of one user detailing just how incompetent GF are by showing how they used multiple models for multiple areas instead of just one in SM

Oh shut up you seething faggot, it looks great for a 3DS game.

And people make fun of falcom and gust games. Jesus Christ

Why do all the new Pokemon look plastic? Why are they so smooth and textureless?

Silly user, texturing things take effort and some modicum of skill. Can't expect the poor souls over at GameFreak to do any actually work now can you?

Looks like breath of the wild in places, especially the way the light hits grass

>food analogy
literally every time
prove to me you don't just want to be angry
that you're not just scared of looking like a "gamefreak cocksucker" for saying anything even remotely positive

There is literally nothing wrong with food analogies, them being widely use doesn't discredit them.

Silence is preferable to strawmanning user.

Final Fantasy XII
Rogue Galaxy
Zone of the Enders 2
Shadow of the Colossus
... I can think of many more PS2 games that look a ton better and then Pokémon SwordShield STILL had framerate issues with it's shit graphics because Game Freak thinks slapping some post processing effects and some orange tint in the lighting is enough to not see the low poly models and low res textures.

GF finally managed to enter 2007 or something. In 6 years or so we might get the Pokemon we should've had.

I'm not angry, just a little sad. I grew up with red/blue and played through gen 4 but it's just disappointing to see what they're doing with the franchise now. I hope one day there's significant employee turnover and competent devs and designers come to manage it.

lol

The point isn't the resolution and AA, it's the textures, models and more importantly, art direction.

Let me put it like this, if GameFreak wasn't so comically inept, they could easily get a game looking like this running on the Switch in 1080p.

>Gameplay above all
Too bad Pokemon gameplay is below entry level RPG

both games look like shit but you'd have to be delusional and/or retarded if you think this pokemon games looks better than FE:3H

also, nobody plays these games for graphics. reminder that if you play either of these two turnbased games with battle animations on you're either a child or a normie.

Literally zero effort from the texture artists here

0,01 cents have been deposited in your MyNintendo account

they were way better than PS1 graphics

The only 8th gen console I have is a Switch and this still looks like shit.

are you daft? new models is one of the most important appeals, there's still other appeals, but new models is incredibly important for a new gen

Is Vagrant Story any good? I heard that the music is great but I know nothing about the gameplay and story.

I have to say, as awful as it looks, I was expecting much worse, so I'll at least give them that.
