This is a screenshot from a game that will be released in 2019 on the Nintendo Switch system

looks like an n64 game

bro the reflections in the water aren't even correct. they can't get their prebaked reflections or lighting correctly.

Embarrassing when the B team of a dev studio makes a much better looking game.

No, I'd actually like it a lot if it looked like an N64 game.

nigga u gey

it's gamefreak, we all knew it was going to look like shit. frankly i'm impressed it looks as much different from the 3DS as it does.

Looks like a texture pack for ocarina of time. How are game freak allowed to handle a billion dollar franchise still?

Looks like dogshit

....and it's beautiful

Every game HAS to be photorealistic.

Why does Yea Forums only pretend to care about texture resolution when it comes to shitting on Nintendo?

Looks great for a handheld. Seethe more.

So this is the power of the Switch.....
Not bad.....

When exactly did nintendo give up on pushing boundaries?

Gamefreak shills fuming I see. Or at least I think I see, I can't really tell because the draw distance is too bad. ;)

I prefer a desaturated look than a flat emply PS2 era world design.

why does the game run at 30fps but look like shit? if the game looks like shit then it should run at 60fps.

>people think this is a triumph of graphics.

I get wanting to keep the anime aesthetic, but goddamn that looks like an ugly 3DS upgrade. Why not aim for something like DQXI's artstyle? It is distinctly anime and looks way better than this.

>dude RNG Pokemon so it feels like gacha

No one can convince me that if you play Pokemon you aren't autistic, from Tumblr, or you eat up everything Nintendo shits out (which is most of Yea Forumstendogaf). Fuck this faggot game, give me DQXIS and SMTV.

It's not a decision when Monster Hunter was in development 3 years before the switch reveal

why can't anybody make a game with a similar artstyle but high definition graphics on pc? at the very least nintendo tries, on pc it's always some realistic boring shit.

Never seen a fucking developer deserving less the praise it gets than these cunts

Because AAA+ games need to justify all that money being accounted away so the investors demand they go for the most expensive and most marketable thing.

Certainly. BotW has an amazing artstyle, but its graphical output is certainly laughable even for 2017. Pokemon has a shit artstyle on top of shit graphics.

Pokemon not so much

Cope

There's that one kickstarter one. The problem is that people don't want to sink years of work into a project that's just 'pokemon but different'. Say what you want about game freak being incompetent, their designs and brand recognition carry it, which another studio is gonna struggle to have.

You can still have a cartoon style and not look like complete shit.

it's graphics are sorta amazing, seriously, name another portable game with this massive a world to explore without load times.

That is the case since Xenoblade 1.
Hell, even Lost Odissey is more FF than anything after FF XII

MGS3 looks better ya, but its all split into tiny areas, big open worlds are taxing!

Pokémon could look like Minecraft I would still play it. People who prefer grafix over anything else should just watch movies desu. All of you bitching are still gonna play the game at least once. Just like LGPE. Keep seething that Pokémon won't come to PC, PlayStation or Xbox.

That was my point.

it looks worse than USUM to me

how does Pokemon Colosseum look better than this shit?

It would unironically look better with minecraft graphics than the terrible shit they came up with. Regardless, I'm still not buying them, just like I didn't buy LGPE either, so nice try shill.

No one does, retard.

consoles will always have shit graphics especially a handheld. all that matters is performance.

gamefreak are some of the least competent developers in history

botw is mediocre shit.
no

They should have made this an online hub.

It looks like a ps3 game.

yeah, and plus they have until november to get off their lazy asses

What is this even trying to say?
That it's not BotW? Is that a common claim or something?

imagine seeing graphics as the top priority in games

The graphics are the least of pokemon's problem
But the clasing between character models (shiny plastic looking, flat colors) with the backgrounds (PS2 style mix of cartoony and realistic level of detail) is really really annoying.

It's like the amateur younger devs tried copying BotW, but only for a portion of the entire map. It looks even emptier than BotW too. Just flat terrain. The environment has no verticality or personality like in BoTW. I hope you open world faggots are happy. You wanted this.

>if you DARE to criticize my favorite game youre a resetera tranny and you need to go back
Delusional.

>graphics
>meaning anything
literally who cares?

It definitely is cemu at least. BotW shitters cannot accept that their game is shit, especially compared to other Zelda games lol.

They did though, you can meet other players and trade cards while out in the while

Are you implying it will be bad because it doesn't look like triple aaa photorealistic western games, you piece of shit OP? Cope even more when it beats your favorite game in sales. Also, have sex you fucking cunt.

This actually looks worse than the DS games

There's a difference between graphics not being realistic and the art style being uninspired, passionless and a mess

Would you be okay if every asset was a white box with the words of what it represents written on it? So every Pokemon looks like a square with their name in it?

You're blind. I'm not normally one to bitch about graphics but this shit is inexcuseable. This looks like a fucking mobile game on a machine that's more powerful than a PS3.

nope just facts

the shading on individual blades of grass is pretty cool.

No it does, you're just contrarian as fuck, and you expect something from your delusion.

Graphics aren't bad per se. The character models for the trainers in particular aren't that bad looking, so it's not really 'graphics' the main critique point here but rather the lack of attention to detail in the open area zones, as well as some trivial stuff such as no shadows (or at least not in the trailer), etc.

Go back delusional user.

>false equivalency
good one faggot, that's not the case here is it? It's just cherrypicking little details from a youtube video.
why exactly is it uninspired? it looks like a neat cel-shaded game to me. those requirements you listed out are purely subjective, autist.

>I'm not normally one to bitch about graphics
Oh I bet.

Maybe because its not more powerful than a PS3 in practice.

If the game itself is fun I really couldn't care less about how outdated it looks as long as it runs well.

Looks fun

Pokemon stopped being cutting edge after Gen 4 or 5
GameFreak doesn't know how to make big AAA games so this is going to look like a mid PS3 era game. It's probably going to run like dog shit and sell millions because it's Pokemon
A series that's done the exact same thing for 20 years and people still eat it up because it still ends up appealing to newer gens of kids and nostalgiafags now
I don't give a shit at this point
Gen 5 was the last good gen of pokemon
The games going 3D was one of the worst things to happen to the series

That isn't a false equivalency. You said graphics don't mean anything. Are you conceding that they do mean something? It isn't exactly the case but you have to concede that you do think graphics matter in some way.

Don't want to be that guy but Yo-kai Watch 4 looks a hell of a lot more promising than this imo. Game Freak hasn't made a good Pokemon game since Diamond and Pearl.

Because you are literally retarded.

that shit was hard though. i got through it with swords dance + bullet punch on scizor so i could just ohko everything but that was literally the only way i could win, fucking hm slaves taking up space in my party

>why exactly is it uninspired? it looks like a neat cel-shaded game to me. those requirements you listed out are purely subjective, autist.
Is it wrong to want games to innovate? Do you really just want the same exact AAA schlock given to you every 3 years, but with 2 features taken out and 1 more put in? If you want to spend £50 on a cheap product with >20 hour playtime with a forgettable experience then go ahead, fuck it. Maybe the real autist is the one using corporate cum as mouthwash.

people are a lot more cynical now

if you want the exact same forgettable product but with different animals for full price with zero innovation, then go ahead. I think the real autist is the one using corporate cum as mouthwash

HMs were a mistake

Other way around. The only times people claim not to care about graphics are with games that they like.

Wow, if you lose in Platinum you need to check your IQ

Reminder that if we go by image 3 and look at the distance between the Pokegirl and the tower in the background and then look at the map illustration they released you realize that this is the smallest Pokemon region so far and you can probably walk from one point in the wilds to the other end in less than 2 minutes.

source please

okay I thought the first one didn't post but it did. fuck lads maybe I am autistic

I mean, there's not much I can do if I didn't pick the right pokemon for coverage against Cyrus

No, I always see people on Yea Forums boasting about how little they care about graphics. Whenever there's a "Distribute your points to make your perfect game!" thread, people consistently put the least points into graphics and talk about how gameplay is literally the only thing that makes a game worth playing.

Looks exactly like BotW but without the fog and puke green filter on.

It looks ok in handheld mode, but on the big screen it does look pretty shit.

Gamefreak is doing what they did on 3DS, make an ugly game first(XY) so they can upgrade the graphics next gen(SM) as a selling point.

Maxing out graphics at the start reduces the amount of selling points for future gens, especially since Pokemon is just the same shit over and over.

This

I always assumed incompetence but this is a genuine possibility.

Posturing, user. You need only look to old console war threads (PS3/360/Wii era) to see that this has always been the case.

>This actually looks worse than the DS games
4th gen was actually peak pokemon. 5th gen was also good

If you found Cyrus hard, try ultra necrozma in usum

bing bing

Ignoring graphics, embiggen mode is the stupidest gimmick yet. There was so much they could have done instead, as big of a piece of shit LGPE was, why they fuck did they not keep over world encounters??!! You have it in the glorified safari zone, put it in the full game you stupid cunts.

I'm honestly pretty pissed at the quality of the visuals. This is a Wii game released 10 years ago: youtube.com/watch?v=bZpZiomZ3f8

Geometry is similar but the polish is nowhere to be found in SWSH, also the texture quality is abysmal.

Attached: 1539655604589.png (546x535, 180K)

You think a pokemon can't purchase a sword and have it colored like him?

It's laziness and marketing, Gamefreak are incompetent too though;

My realistic hope for gen 9 is that they rework the models, carve details on them that were just painted on in the past and have ok lighting.

It's far too much to ask of these retard to make whole new models.

yeah i liked battle revolution a lot, they still havent got the battles to look as good yet.

I think it looks fine. Maybe not as beautiful as BOTW but it's the first Pokemon game to actually start getting me excited for it. If we can finally try different difficulties then I'd be set.

Most of these images aren’t at daytime, where the colors look especially bland

It's a legendary, why wouldn't it get a special weapon? Ho oh was able to make entirely new legendaries out of ordinary dogs, why would this legendary making itself a sword be weird?

When it started to cost billions to push graphics, which is, in fact, the point in which everyone should have stopped caring.

I'm excited!

What is this, the bizarre time after ps2 and launch of Xbox 360? Looks like they learned how to do reflections, but that is about it, the texture detail is terrible. The world looks uninspired. This game literally looks like it's from 2004-2005.

It really doesn't

Wii, Nintendo hardware has been trash since. Online actually got worse from wiiu to switch, somehow, and Nintendo has the gall to charge for it

Games from that era were fun though

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO COPE COPE COPE COPE
Done, the thread in a nutshell.

I mean I haven't played this, as it's not out yet. It could be fun, but the graphic definitely won't be doing it any favors.

And it came out in 2004, 15 years before, two generations of hardware back

>Looks like they learned how to do reflections
>reflections don't allign with the environment
???

It's that it looks lazy and empty. I'll still buy it because I like pokemon games and I'm part of the problem, but for such a huge franchise I just wish they'd put an ounce of effort in

I doubt it

Looks like its going to be a great game for Pokemon fans.

Looks like Nintendo are going to make a lot of money.

Looks like Nintendo are going to sell millions of Switches this year.

What you think OP?

remember when people also used this argument to justify the lazy sequels of Monster Hunter and then, when Capcom finally listened and put effort into it, the game sold twice as many units as the previous best selling entry, becoming the best selling game developed by the company? Good times.

Shame that Game Freak will never put any effort into Pokémon.

You exaggerating faggot. It doesn't cost billions to create good textures.

Here's the deal.
Graphics don't matter if the company decides they don't matter. If a game has shit graphics because they decided to go really in depth with game mechanics and the hardware couldn't do both/they didn't have the budget for both, there's nothing wrong with that. See: Dwarf Fortress, Kenshi, Rimworld. Caveat: the graphics have to be at least good enough to be able to see what the fuck is going on, and artstyle can compensate for some technical deficiencies.
Pokemon does not have extremely hardware intensive game mechanics. The game mechanics have been mostly the same for over 10 years. Gamefreak has the budget to buy most small countries. The game looks like shit, the artstyle is bland, and it's inexcusable. It will also probably be an unfun easy as shit pissbaby collectathon like almost every other Pokemon since Red/Blue. If you buy this game, you're fucking retarded. Literal children deserve better games than this.

bullshit it looks like straight ass. Wind Waker on the GCN looks better, Ni No Kuni on the PS3 blows it out of the water visually and in art direction, even Oblivion has better looking environments.

They literally could have at least prebaked the shadow textures into the ground textures under the trees to at leave make them look like they are part of the environment. This is really lazy development. They are relying too much on the graphics engine to do all the work for lighting, but as a result, the underpowered system that is the Switch can't maintain good fps, so they have to lower the rest of the game, the anti-aliasing, the texture quality. This game is a 100% cash grab by lazy devs who will put out the bare minimum because retards will buy it because of title name pokemon. I will not be buying it.

Seriously? wind waker looks better than this and that game was released in 2002. How the fuck is Nintendo letting this happen?

The highest selling game of all time is MINECRAFT and the graphics are shit in that game. The people obsessed with "muh graphics" are mainly 15 year olds who think looking pretty matters more than gameplay.

>graphics make the game
Holy shit, no wonder ANTHEM sold several millions despite being a broken, unfinished mess of a game

The game is not even better than GTA4 or THPS, now chill out and drink your s°ylent

holdover from the bit wars marketers forced on us just like the "Gamer" lifestyle

Pokemon is a game for young children, ages of around 6 - 12, which is why cutting edge graphics have never been the focus for this series. Pokemon Red and Blue didn't take off for their cutting edge graphics. They took off because of the novel gameplay.

If you, a grown man I presume, was considering buying this game at all, then I genuinely don't know what the fuck is wrong with you.

The art style of Minecraft is actually on point with what it wants to be and its ludonarrative. Pokémon SwSh's art style is all over the place and doesn't fit as a Pokémon game. Graphics are more than texture resolution and polygon count, retard.

Yeah I love the Y button on the ps4

GF are a shit company

There's a difference between a competent dev team purposely going for a specific art style and an incompetent dev team making a bland, shitty looking game with no direction or purpose.

Looks pretty.

>matters more than gameplay.
The thing is Pokemon gameplay is so shit that if it at least had decent graphics you could have something nice to look at while pushing through it

Looks terrible
GO BACK TO 2D SPRITES FOR POKÉMON (AND FIGHTING GAMES)

I agree. Cutting edge graphics are not important in children's games, like Minecraft, the original Pokemon Red and Blue, things like that. Kids got interested in these games because of the novel gameplay. Children (or their parents) rarely have the money to spend on massively powerful gaming rigs, which is why kids' games won't have the impressive graphics that adult titles, meant for more expensive platforms that adults can afford, will sometimes have.

People who think Pokemon is about graphics are genuinely moronic.

Cubone and Marowak

monster hunter world

Character model looks okay, other than that this game looks fucking terrible. I understand this is a switch but I expected more effort put into this game, at least Mario Odyssey and botw looked "decent".

I wasn't considering buying it. The problem is, I don't like lazy game development, take some damn pride in your work. This game looks like trash. It doesn't have to have cutting edge graphics but at least pre-bake some shadows! It would give the world some fucking depth, and make things pop a little. Sure it's going to sell, and that's great, but at least give it you are all as a developer because people are paying their hard earned money for your work.

Switch:
>8 core 1.9GHz 64-bit ARMv8 CPU
>4GB of LPDDR4 RAM w/ 25GB/s bandwidth

>256MB work RAM, 256MB VRAM w/ 22GB/s bandwidth

It is more powerful than a PS3 unless you can point to specs that say otherwise

>Gamefreak is lazy

Ummm...no they just have little experience developing in HD. The only HD Pokemon game they made is LGPE. It doesen't matter what year or what platform the game is on, if the game dev doesen't know how to develop for a console the graphics will be shitty.

The graphics in LGPE looked better than this shti.

Doesn’t say much when there’s a PS4 already existing.

>minecraft's "ludonarrative"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, GET-A-LOAD-OF-THIS-FAGGOT

It's just Notch's motherfucking infiniminer ripoff alpha demo """game""" you absolute nigger

Not really. They just had the midget with bobble head artstyle that made it look more passable cause it was simpler.

Those graphics are out of this world!

Because you’re a pedophile

It has little to do with the quality of the graphics and more that it looks sloppy and so lazy

>"b-but the ps4!"

You know part of the reason why games like Ni No Kuni, Persona 5, and Zelda Wind Waker go for such stylized looks? To hide the dev's inability to render good graphics.

Maybe Gamefreak could have just took the Let's Go engine and made it more refined instead of going for more "realistic" body proportions and environments.

holy fuck gamefreak is worse than SNK when it comes to 3d

It's the most profitable franchise of all time, hire developers who can program modern games. Inexcusable.

Then why are stylized drawings ever made when you could as well use photos and film?

>Gamefreak
>asking for help

u don't know how Gamefreak operates, they would never even ask Nintendo for help on game development

>10+ million copies
Only half of them are real sales, because people buy 2 copies of every pokemon game.

>everyone replying to you is the same person
Enjoy your outdated paperweight

How the fuck did GF not hire Monolith Soft to help them build the environments?

Pretty sure most people don't buy both versions of a Pokemon game though.

>This is a billion dollar franchise.
Not only that, is the BIGGEST FRANCHISE IN THE WORLD!

>Pretty sure most people don't buy both versions of a Pokemon game though.
They do and even gamefreak realized that, now they are even releasing a bundle with both version.

Looks pretty mediocre desu. Graphics aren't a priority but i think games should at the very least look like they belong in the current generation, this shit looks like early 00s games.

DELETE THIS

It also had new models for the pokemon and a surfing mini game if you had access to pokemon stadium.

>he thinks a company making more money means good graphics

It's that why X/Y looked like ass and it took them till Sun/Moon to actually have good graphics on 3DS?

I know how they operate, I'm saying it's not an excuse and results in a shit product. It doesn't matter because it will sell based on brand recognition and marketing so nothing will ever improve.

>posting a multiplat
>that still looks better than GF latest rehash
epic

Please understand

Graphics aren't the biggest issue though. It's the lack of exploration, the onslaught of cutscenes, shoving in worse and worse gimmicks, lack of postgame content, and sticking too heavily to the same formula for 2 decades. But Gamefreak can fix all of that on their own if they really wanted too.

We finally got roaming Pokemon, and free camera movement outside of the cities. Is that somehow not progression.

>different systems
Yea, above is from a 20 year old ahrdware, bottom is from a 2 year old one.
Defend this.

A lot of their target audience gives zero shit about quality, they see the name Pokemon and buy it:
>Obsessive manchildren
>Literal children
>Girls that want a pet Eevee or Cyndaquil

Not too hard to figure out

Anyone got that pic of the HG/SS dev talking about content vs that other dev talking about time?

Game freak puts out a new pokemon game every year which is probably why they don't look good.

none of these people care about Pokemon and were going to make the same canned posts no matter what the game looked like

First post best post. It's more than adequate for what it needs to be.

Pokemon aesthetically peaked on the DS with the mixture of well animated sprites and 3D overworld, despite the lesser tech, so that's no surprise. eEerything since has been a step backwards but this is an outright leap. The aesthetics are now fucking horrible, looks like a Wii Shop title like My Pokemon Farm or whatever.

Then explain how literally every sprite-based Pokémon games, which were all still released on a yearly basis, all look better than any of the soulless 3D games?

Gamefreak sucks at optimizing their games, I expect nothing less.

Overworld encounters are in the game user, and not just in the wild area.

what game is this?

That has a washed out look at least to mask the horrible textures. Pokemon doesn't even do that, it looks like it belongs on a console 20 years ago.

And all the models are jagged

they're JAGGIed

Great gameplay like the pokemon games where it railroads you down a specific path throughout the entire game and you naturally end up so overleveled that every enemy gets one shot by your starter pokemon.

The games don't even have actual stories, what's the point of an rpg with no story?

>>graphics shit
>>animations shit
You forgot
>artstyle is shit

Also, even the new gimmic is just a merge of the Megas and Zmoves in one thing, the dynamax.

This is a screenshot of the PS4 version of pokemon sword and shield

it's the art style brainlet

Its a little 240p console. A Switch game shouldn't have trouble competing.

bottom screen looks like a fucking gmod map

>he says the game is lazy and will still buy it day one

Not an argument

Pokemon has to deal with over 800 models with unique animations, the stats of every Pokemon you own and every Pokemon you are set to fight, all the opponent AI you will face, etc.
Zelda Skyward Sword has to deal with about two dozen or so unique enemies that are only a computing factor when they are in the same area as Link, Link’s inventory, the three dozen NPCs in Skyloft, which only have to do text dialog and ocassionally trigger events, memory for dungeon information, and story events.

You really have no fucking idea how anything works.

Looks great cant wait to play it

Here's a less retarded version of what he's saying: Skyloft is a much smaller area, as a result it has more resources to expend

>Gamefreak

I don't get it, did anyone seriously expect anything but the bare minimun from Pokémon? Shit has been awful for years now.

Looks like a mobile game, not impressed at all. I think everyone expected much, much more when a home console game finally came, this might aswell be a 3ds title

I don't what people expected?
This is pretty much what I expected and it looks fine.

It looks pretty good, yes.

Gravity Rush

Need edgy clits.

So you can always see wild Pokemon? That was the one good thing I liked about Lets Go.

That game was better in the end then it had any right to be.

Yes. Overworld encounters are probably permanent now.

WHERE'S THE UPDATE CRAPCOM?

You guys want AAA PC tier graphics from a japanese game on a tablet lol.

They're more accurate that Switch screenshots, the Switch adds saturation and compression to its screenshots that isn't there in gameplay.

Holy shit you are a fucking moron

because you're delusional

Holy jesus puppyfucking christ this game looks atrocious. Definitely not picking this up.

Shitposters keep only posting screenshots from the trailer where the player is standing in a cloud's shadow. watch the trailer

I fucking hate this game but this is BS.
What exactly is their reasoning with this, are they purposefully making these areas as bare as possible for the 'HD grass' with hidden Pokemon in them. Why are they doing this to their games. What am i even supposed to explore, why waste resources on the world if you're not even going to try to make it look decent. What the fuck is their problem?

>played it
As in the franchise in general. And nothing is upsetting me, I just feel like a lot of people have some unrealistic standards for the franchise. It doesnt look the best but I dont care much for graphics the aesthetic is okay at best. But I feel what most people are complaining that the game isnt, would be a real clash when it comes to the general artstyle of pokemon itself. I dunno. Just curious really.

you're joking right?

Nintendo games never "pushed boundaries". Both the N64 and Gamecube were the weakest graphically in their respective gens.

He got called a racist in Greggs

Can't GF you know, hire talented people that knows how to handle modern hardware? They mostly don't even have to model older Pokemon, just up the internal resolution of 3DS models and shit looks good.

You'd think with money and support from Nintendo they could do much better than this shit.

it's pretty 'yikes' tier.

If it's just about the visuals, it isn't about looking like real life, it's about looking good. And anime game number 804 isn't good, it's just bland.
Just make something that looks different from what we've already seen hundreds of times, maybe go low-poly, maybe make the models look more stylized models, maybe go back to sprites, just make something new.

>with money
Why waste money and effort on Pokémon when drones will buy it in the tens of millions anyway?

which n64 game is this?

sure, if you emulate it on a high-end pc and then photoshop the screenshots like you did. on the original hardware, it looks hideous.

Yeah, but it had SOUL

I remember playing XY in 2013 and being dumbfounded by how shitty the game's graphics were on a technical level while the game SIMULTANEOUSLY ran like complete dogshit. I swear to god it was like 20fps during the battle scenes. You know, when all it has to do is render 2 pokemon on a flat background.

Gamefreak have never been competent programmers and their games have always looked a generation behind, but ever since the jump to 3D it's become all the more apparent.

>another boring and sterile UI that looks like it was done in powerpoint
How hard is this for them? Christ.

If someone pays for the game, it's a real sale. Nintendo and GF don't give a single fuck whose money it is as longer as they get it.

gen 3's aesthetics aged like milk, it looks more like a mobile game on an old nokia of its time than a classy 16-bit title
both gen 4 and gen 5 shit all over it

Don't forget how in the past when they actually did manage to make good UIs with good functionality, in the next set of games they'd inexplicably dump the idea and do something shitty.

For example, HGSS were really snappy with how you could have important stuff on the bottom screen. You could toggle running instead of holding a button, you could swap out your team's positions without having to go to the start menu, and so on. And then they just took it out for no reason.

Boy do I sure love concepts getting introudced in pokemon games and then getting dropped in sequels mhm fucking love it thank you so much Masuda you're the best can't wait to not have kaiju pokemon in the next installment and replaced with Pokemon Dirt Simulator

If you are buying any more pokemon games after Pokemon Sun & Moon, you are probably retarded and can't be trusted with money.

I'm surprised it looks that bad. I mean Pokemon was always between okay and cute looking at best, but it has its own look. This is just a terrible art direction, technically outdated and empty.

Gamecube definitely wasn't the graphically weakest system of its gen.

Damn, GF is fucking useless

People weren't as susceptible to shit like that back then. Capcom re-released RE2 less than a year after it came out for the same price so they could add in dual-shock support and extreme battle mode, and nobody really batted an eye towards it.

see

>Nintendo games never "pushed boundaries".
Remind me again which game refined 3D platformers to the point of every other company trying and failing to copy it.

I honestly agree. 2.5D just works really well for these games and the fps doesn't need to get fucked if they use sprites.

Literally Gust games look better. Holy fucking shit
