Honestly what the fuck

no, the art styles are just different.

It doesn't even look like that. It looks like a DS game.

they already know Switch can't handle the games like Xenoblade after the XC2 disaster

XC2 just needed to optimize. They were ambitious and now it just needs patching, but apparently that's not profitable.

Its not Nintendo, its Inteligent Systems, Monolith soft and Gamefreak.
Nintendo on those 3 games is a publisher.
Now all 3 of those have their strenghts and fuckups.
Monolith overworlds are amazing, thats why they also work on Zelda and Splatoon, but their UIs are constant fuckups.
Gamefreak cant into 3d games for example.
Something they could do is send teams from different studios to help with what they are shit at.

>game that almost took 5 years to make vs a game that took 1 year to make
Hmmm yea I wonder what the problem is

The fact that this kind of actual garbage is being shown as some sort of official reveal clearly shows that Nintendo does not give a FUCK about the state of their games.
Now I'm not some expert when it comes to developing and publishing games but I'd like to think the publisher has at least some form of quality control before they put their shit in store shelves
This? This is embarrassing
If the developer can't do 3D well, they should fucking hire people who can, or as you mentioned get others from partner studios also working under Nintendo
Now I haven't played a Pokémon game since the ones on the GBC so I don't personally mind but my god, the ACTUAL sTATE OF NINTENDO

Bottom is unironically better. Top is overdesigned and you barely know what's happening. Bottom is straightforward.

>they should fucking hire people
Now how it works. Creating a world takes time. Thats why xeno games always take 3-5 years to make. This was made in roughly 1 year. (2 if you count they teased about thinking of bringing a pokemon game to Switch)

Are you retarded?
Nintendo are publishers.
What you meant to pas was
>tHE STATE OF GAMEFREAK
You need to see how poorly optimized Sun and Moon were, look it up.
To answer why Nintendo dosen't give a fuck, its probably that they know that Pokemon sells, and only demand sold units over quality to GF.

This.

Gamefreak and Intelligent Systems aren't Nintendo.

You can always outsource to fucking indians/asians who do your job 10 times better than you and cheaper as well
And if you think it's excusable to present shit because you didn't have the time for anything better then I don't know what to tell you

Are you retarded? Fucking read my post before you make stupid remarks you mouthbreathing ape
I literally said that Nintendo as publisher has some sort of duty to quality control the fucking shit they're putting on the store shelves and this is inexcusably bad

The bottom looks like a budget GameCube title. Anyone saying its superior to the top are purposely being contrarians, or delusional. This is un acceptable for a billion dollar company.

Top picture is too much cluttered with random shit from the landscape and UI
Bottom picture is nicely clean and its immediately clear what you are looking at

Aliens Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever are the best games ever made according to your retarded logic

>Clean
More like the bottom is devoid of anything at all.

Switch is actually weaker than Wii U in one key area, data streaming, which normally isn't an issue except if we're trying to populate huge openworlds in realtime.

No? What mental gymnastics led you to that conclusion?

But it looks much worse than breath of the wild, which already looks like a mediocre wii u game (because it literally is)

xenoblade is second party. Nintendo didn't make it. Same with pokemon.

Gamefreak can't into any games desu

everything related to this game looks like shit. Beyond the obvious it has disgusting over saturated colours, awful foliage (the grass is particularly bad, its so fucking noisy when everything else looks like a n64 game). Even the promotional CG and box art are gross.

Why are all the hand held studios putting out shit that looks worse than their 3ds games.

These aren't made by Nintendo you uneducated faggot, GameFreak are the fucking worse.

Second party isnt a fucking thing you goddamn mongoloid. There's only first and third party. Just like how there's only first and third person speech.

Even this looks much nicer, in terms of fidelity it's probably simpler but the art direction is way better

Did you play any game involving data streaming on the Wii U? Xenoblade has horrendous pop in issues. The Arkham games pause to load if you move across the city too fast.

>ACM
>100% outsourced
>shit game
>Duke Nukem Forrver
>over 100 hands touching it
>shit game
What they have in common is that both games were developed in a year. Again it doesnt matter what you do unless you give the time to devs. Anything will be shit if you make the least time to create.

Why is it so desaturated and muddy? BOTW has the same look.

Gamefreak are the Jews of the gaming industry
I bet they are absolutely rolling in cash but put the most bare minimum effort into their games because they know that the fanbase will gobble it up anyway.
Same with 95% of all the weeb games. They know it will sell because of virgins.

Same engine. Game only took a year

>What is Game Freaks problem? Is it time restraints? Rushed products?
Game Freak has no competition so they never have to innovate. When they finally decide to try something different it's something the rest of the industry did a decade ago. Remember that it was a big deal when the series went fully 3D.

Oh fuck off apologist.

Even if you are going to play the "clutter" card, there is no defending the textures and animations.

I'd be fine with literal n64 graphics if they brought back the stadium animation quality. And they've been using the same 3d models for 4 games now, there's no reason they couldn't have slowly added more and more polished animations each release

GameFreak is the laziest studio of all time. That is it.

>most lucrative IP of all time

>why not just don't buy it

I'm not OP, but I won't be. I was so eager to hack my switch so I could finally stop giving them money. Even before this I bought X/Sun used and skipped USUM/ORAS/LGPE because they were truly lazy trash

Both look like shit but for completely different reasons. OP just thinks the top looks better cause it's complicated

Just because I'm not buying it, doesn't mean I have to be content with the series continually being shit.

I remember when I had legitimate hope that Yokai Watch was going to be that competition to kick gamefreak in the ass (obviously just in japan).

But then Pokemon just copied le whacky yokai watch dances and then japan stopped caring.

second person speech is literally (you)

Why did gamefreak waste resources on their shitty Town game instead of putting more resources into their flagship? It makes no sense.

Attached: why.jpg (354x316, 140K)

not eating shit doesn't mean I enjoy looking at it...

They know they don't have to even try let alone learn competence, Pokemon sells circles around CoD off the name brand alone. They're basically Japanese Bethesda.

Good quality control goes a long way in any case, it doesn't help one bit if they have 10 years of development time if they're still just producing shit

Why do people like you exist? Almost an hour later and you spout the same shit that like 10 other people in this thread have already posted previously

I honestly thought it looks like a GameCube game on an emulator with a higher resolution.

The graphics suck major ass and that has nothing to do with the artstyle.
Even BotW looked way better and Pokemon won't have BotWs physics.

GameFreak is just incompetent.

Attached: Snapshot_20170303_145007.jpg (1920x1088, 182K)

Are you stupid? XCX is super concise in its visual delivery.

No it isn't.

Monolith being autistic doesn't mean Game Freak being soulless and aimless is suddenly better.

heh, that came to mind too, although I have to agree with this user .

>Xenoblade/Monolith Soft is second party?
Why retards keep propagating this? Nintendo fully owns Monolith, that's why the just expanded to three studios and constantly give dev support to first flagship Nintendo IPs.

Holy shit even this looks better than sword and shield. Fuck game freak in the asshole man.

Imagine that behind the scenes they are really mulling over removing stats because they don't know how to change the power stat from mons in Go to the 5 stats in the mainline games. These people are so retarded and simple minded the nintendo CEO had to come and remind them how to breathe. Is there really no one competent enough over there at Gamefreak to tell them that people don't want for them to remove past gameplay elements? Are their coding really that bad? There must be someone at least decent around.

Imagine that all Lets go needed was for a guy being paid 10 bucks per hour to post a character from the game that wants to catch you, and all the people that previously said that they won't buy the game because its garbage went 180 degrees. It doesn't matter that i didn't buy it since others thought the pokewaifu was enough for them. And now we get Letsgopepe with new mons because they got away with it.

Game Freak barely started building a coding library so they wouldn't have to start from scratch with every gen.

botw is the best looking game on wii u. Yes. even better looking than XCX before you bring it up (although XCX is definitely 2nd place)

Color Splash looks better than either.

idk, botw's lighting engine is really good

Literally every single element of the top UI can be removed if you so desire.

the UI in XCX is customizeable, you can turn off each and every part of it. really with XC2 had kept this feature tbqh

Why waste time and resources onto something that's guaranteed to print money? Pokemon autists will buy anything that has the brand slapped on it. Hell, look how quickly they churn out porn/fanart when a new design is revealed in the same fashion the Sonic fandom does.

Town is more than likely a game the dev team actually wants to work on, rather than feels obligated to.

This one hurts.

Okay this is the LAST time I'm going to explain this to you people. The processing power is going towards the MODELS of the pokemon. No one gives a FUCK about grass. Furthermore, the grass is going to be used to hide wild pokemon, and there aren't just pokemon all over the FUCKING place. This is also a very BAD screenshot and is intended to mislead.

even with all that in mind, pokemon SwSh graphically looks dreadful.

It would've been nice to make parts of it smaller at least.

Attached: 1559751508747.webm (1280x720, 2.95M)

They don't rent asset libraries like every other AAA developer and make everything from scratch.

some of XC2's UI can be turned off, and your webm is a gross exaggeration, but still wish it had the same options as XCX's UI.

>Low semen

what the fuck is that

Okay you FUCKER. I said that this was the LAST time but here I have to go again. The Nintendo SWITCH is too powerful so the had to DOWNSAMPLE it

Their ignorance doesn't make it okay.

benis :D

too obvious, ya ruined it.

The first post was obvious you stupid fuck

I bet it’s because they’re developing it as a portable game first and they’re targeting the lowest powerstate and clockspeeds available to eke out as much battery life as they can. The thing about BotW and Xenoblade 2 is that they go through the battery in a few hours or less.

That and it’s fucking GameFreak, what do you expect?

>watch trailer
>looks good
>/vp/ hates it
Why?

Attached: 1559770756130.jpg (800x488, 30K)

Nintendo owns Monolith. It's first party. So yes, they made Xenoblade.

Nintendo does not own Game Freak. Game Freak is an independent company that also does work on non-Nintendo platforms. Nintendo only owns partial rights to the Pokemon brand via The Pokémon Company.

>we are in a timeline where Atelier now looks better than Pokemon
holy kek

when did it not?

Why are you faggots crying so much about this? The same thing happened with BOTW & we got hundreds of mods for the PC version after a year. The same will happen with Pokemon, except it will only take 1-2 months for overhaul mods to come out

Gamefreak has never put that much effort in their games

>meanwhile in the PS2 days

DoAXVB3 is the best looking game on the Switch.

I'd bet it's designed around the Switch's internal screen and probably looks better there. I recall what little I played of BotW looking a lot better on the actual switch than it does in screenshots on my PC. TVs, especially cheaper ones, tend to oversaturate everything too so that'd also be consistent with the washed out look on PC monitors.

What game is this? Dude on the right looks neat as heck.

Xenoblade X2 soon, brother

Too bad the game is entirely hallways. Just look at the map there and that's the game outside of towns.
Impressive nonetheless for a PS2 game. Too bad the characters were so bland though.

DoAXVB3 has nothing but models honestly. It's like Ace Combat game or simulator games. All details in characters

Why is a Pokemon world so fucking big? What's the point?

Visually looks okay but not great and definitely not big budget. Dynamax is more power creep on top of Z-moves and megas. Wild Area seems like a half baked idea because it's just one area in the game. Most of the new Pokemon they showed just seem like new takes on old Pokemon. The sword wolf doesn't have the sword as part of its body. The box art is ugly and lazy. The UI is extremely bare. Rotom Dex is back.

Are you retarded?

Apparently so.

The most depressing thing about the modern state of Pokemon and Fire Emblem is that Nintendo themselves are on top of their game. Xenoblade 2, Breath of the Wild, and Mario Odyssey made for a god tier year in 2017.

Then the time came to pass the baton to Nintendo's subsidaries.
HAL shat out a mediocre Kirby.
Camelot put out a barebones Mario Tennis
Intelligent Systems are putting out a shitty Fire Emblem
Gamefreak are putting out a shitty Pokemon

Nintendo's first party hasn't been this strong in a long time. Nintendo's 'second party' is at its lowest point.

Attached: 1447874727656.jpg (634x428, 102K)

At this point I'm just glad they are actually atleast testing the waters for a open world 3rd person perspective pokemon game. Considering this is gamefreak this is a huge step for them.

I hope that before they die the old-ass shitty game devs at GameFreak can be confronted on how god-awful their games are and how lackluster their actual abilities are. Unlike most cultures I bet those japs would look physically hurt by that realization.

This game was made in a year by a bunch of old japanese men, like about 20 and half are art. The game looks like dogshit because Nintendo won't help the company by pulling resources out to other parts of Nintendo. It's the same engine as the 3DS ones, poorly ported and they simply don't have the time or people to make it. It is not the fault of the devs, they literally cannot do jack shit. The higher ups in the studio just shit these out because they know Nintendo doesn't fucking care. Fully blame Nintendo for not even remotely helping their biggest IP next to Mario with developing the next game.

Rouge Galaxy

Dark Cloud 2 was top comfy too

There was a rumor that they are releasing a "definitive" version of the game this year with all the DLC included and one of the things mentioned was a massive increase in optimization, and I would imagine that same optimization would also be used to patch the original game. Otherwise, I can't wait until yuzu can run XC2 because goddamn that game would look so great even up-res'd to 1080p, if not higher.

cocksuckers at gamefreak are so used to putting handheld pokemon games that they even admitted i believe they wanted to base games looks more so in handheld mode than to look nice on the big screen. so its not at all what switch can handle graphics wise.

Nintendo doesn't own Game Freak. Seriously, why is this such a common misconception? Game Freak is fully independent. Nintendo has no obligation to fund Game Freak's projects and I highly doubt Game Freak is hurting for money anyway. Anything to do with their game development is solely the fault of their own.

Blame Game Freak for focusing on the mobile market with their recent acquisitions and projects. Why waste resources on the Switch title when they have shit like Pokemon Masters coming up? They know where the money is.

I don't want to be that guy, but the new Yokai Watch looks like a way better comfy open world experience.
youtube.com/watch?v=Wa0tno1-9Lo

Did they announce a western release yet? Looks like a mix of EarthBound and Pokemon, with Ni no Kuni combat.

They aren't renting a prebuilt engine like unreal either. Japanese aren't very innovative so these 3D things take time due to learning new methods and workflows, they are very behind.

Yeah I remember when the PS2 ran at 1440p.

Love Yo-kai Watch to death but I'm not feeling YW4 honestly. I feel Level-5 is definitely going for style over substance and it definitely shows in the footage they've put out. The framerate tanks at some points.

>clean
the calling card of the downgrade denialist. If you think the top screen is "cluttered" or "confusing" you need to get your eyes checked. Pokemon just looks like shit.
