We finally reached early PS2 level graphics
>>58277325>We finally reached early PS2 level graphicsNot really, PS2 looks a lot better because they actually have some sort of art direction. This looks like a cheap korean mmo from the 2000s
>>58277331This. Graphics were limited back then, but limitations give rise to innovation. A lost art in today's gaming climate. These games are so annoyingly ugly. The character and Pokemon models are fine, but the environment looks like absolute fucking garbage due to the lack of a solid art direction, often times clashing with the borderline anime-aesthetic of the creatures and characters themselves.They got the environment so right with Gen VI and especially Let's Go only to fuck it all up. To say nothing of frequent texture warping or pop-in, even on the Switch 2.
>>58277331>This looks like a cheap korean mmo from the 2000sI recall Mabinogi looking a lot better than that.
>ps2 is the best console with the best games>saying we reached its level is somehow a bad thing?

>>58277325Nah, FF12 mogs this ugly shit
>>58278214It really wasn't.
>>58278214This. Graphics are not important to judge a game's overall quality. Also, OPs pic is blatantly cherrypicked.
>>58277325lots of early PS2 games like FFX, RE4, SH2 and MGS2 look 50x better than this slop
A new mainline pkmn game hasnt been released since 11/2022. I sure hope ZA is better than this
>>58277325Jesus christ. >>58278214It'd still suck with good graphics desu, you guys slurp up whatever slop gamefreak squeezes out of their asscheeks just because it's pokemon>>58277331I hate this reality so much
>>58278658Yeah... I think it might (emphasis on might) be better than SV, but I do not think it's going to be good either way
Turned on a yt video of a guy playing sv. These graphics are inexcusable and like 3 tiers below what a switch 2 can comfortably handle. Absurd. I wish it was different but pokemon just keeps selling brilliantly so the devs and ip owners have no reason to change.
>>58278679>3 tiers below switch 2Nigga it's 3 tiers below a switch 1. In even fact a lot of GameCube games look better. OP's screen is N64 tier but with higher poly count on character models. It's fucking insane
>>58277325Pic related somehow looks more detailed and not inconsistent/weirdly out of place feel that SV gives
>ITT: kids who don't know what actual retro graphics look like but are compelled to bitch about "gwaffix" as the biggest game in their gaming lives doesn't need 'em to sell to children
>>58277325the fucking desert in jak 3 is more lively than poodea lmao
>>58278691It could have been made with the best new graphics, raytracing and all, detailed as or more than cyberpunk on PC and it'd still be a shitty ass game. Graphics is just 1 of the bad things about it. Of course it will sell to children under hype retard
>>58278691>shitty fucking graphics 20 years behind technology, le good???
