No but seriously, how come Gamefreak STILL can't reach this level of fidelity of a 2016 game in 2025, even if it's clear that they tried so hard with Arceus and SV?A fucking WiiU game for fuck's sake
hide another retarded ragebait thread
>>58263444Not ragebait, i genuinely wanna know what's wrong with them
there's that one non-pokemon game they're working on atm that actually has competent visualsmind you it will probably turn your machine into an IED with how dogshit they are at optimization but it'll at least be pretty when it explodes
>>58263460>there's that one non-pokemon game they're working on atm that actually has competent visualsGameFreak has some explaining to do...I'm not normally into rollslop but Beast of Reincarnation looks pretty fun.
>>58263448BotW was in development for over 10 years iirc and nintendo EPD worked directly with Monolith Soft, a team thats been solely focused on making open worlds for nintendo's weaker hardware.Gamefreak on the other hand shat it out in a short amount of time while also having their teams split across another new pokemon game and making up the dev time with a lot of temp workers
>>58263460>that actually has competent visualsyeah just runs at 20fps, Gayfreak are ass
>>58263551Iirc Monolith also helped with SV, but idk in what part they they involved
>>58263579the team isn't credited in SVs credits, unless individuals were, and its too late for me to cross reference 1000 people's names
>>58263448Terrible business and investment decisions at Lamefreak. Hell the TCG cards now look better than the games do
>>58263551Ok but now they took an extra year for ZA and it still looks like shovelware with no production value, despite the newer hardware.And the artstyle they're going for doesn't even make sense, if you know the console is shit and you can't optimize even if your life depended on it, why not choose something more cartoony and stylized like they did with Let's Go.It's like the Switch made them all completely lose the plot or something.
Is the dlc for this game worth it? I've been playing through it and I've been having fun. I don't need the Korok mask because I've got them all already.
>>58263440they did with plassand it fucking suckedunless you're one of those retards who pisses his diaper over empty open world slop
Game Freak is made of legitimately awful programmers, as evidenced as far back as Gen 1 bugs and Gen 2 originally being too big for the cartridge and Iwata cutting the size of the game in half without losing anything. It's not too Farfetch'd to say that even with new people rotating in this core truth has never changed, and Game Freak also knows their mainline games sell well enough that making a bigger team to make performance better would only cost them more money.
>>58264018Based on what we see its not really team size that constrains gamefreak. SV is not lacking in credits size.Hell it doesn't even seem to be a total lack of will to innovate. They just seem cartoonishly slow to adapt any sort of modern techniques.The point that something doesn't seem to be shifting out is the reality, while to an extent i'm not even sure its malicious(though probable it is don't kid yourself), a lot of this seems to be a direction issue.It took them up till the fucking SV DLC for them to learn basic anti tiling techniques. ZA would almost be competent but again they show the inability to create fake interiors despite that being a very basic technique nowadays.And I wouldn't be shocked if this problem magically isn't there anymore by the next.
>>58263440Why bother putting in any genuine effort when your games will sell over 25 million copies anyway just for having your logo on the box?
>>58263762>LZA>extra yearlolno, they've been sitting on a finished product for over a year and had to delay it because it was meant to be an early adopter tantalizer for Switch 2.Nintendo wouldn't let them release the Switch 1 version on its own because then everyone who wants to play LZA would've already played it by the time the Switch 2 version came out (thus there's no incentive to buy the upgrade or a Switch 2 in general) so everything had to be pushed back.The only reason the DLC is so strikingly close to release compared to how Pokemon usually operates is because of this delay, it too has been finished for awhile now when they intended to save it for sometime this year rather than "literally the day after Pokemon Day following Gen 10's announcement, thereby completely killing LZA's momentum as all sights are now on the new game."
If a new Pokémon generation took 10 years to get out TPC would go bankrupt
>>58263958Trial of the Sword is if you enjoyed Eventide Island. Master Mode is just HP bloat. The costumes are whatever since they need an ungodly amount of shooting stars and dragon parts to upgrade. The actual story stuff is probably a few hours long. It's 20 ish more shrines and a final "dungeon" and boss. By the time I completed it I didn't need the bike anymore. The actual story is whatever unless you really wanted more of the dead champions. For 20 bucks I can't complain that there isn't any value though. There's worse you can spend 20 bucks on.
>>58263440The old mummies who work in GF are not good with modern tools
>>5826344010 fucking years for that game idk what should gamefreak do to catch up with the whole industry. Hire more people? Like rockstars tier hiring?
>>58264201>>58264264>10 years BoTW development started in 2013 and the game released in 2017 TPCi could probably just milk money revealing new Pikachu and Charizard forms for 10 years straight though
>>58263440Dawg, it's a small indie company
