Holy shit....
I have no complains, wind and waves looks bigger
what the fuck were they thinking in SV
>>58978358Shit upgraded to vomit!!!
amazing looking water
>>58978371They weren't raked over the coals due to the failed Palworld lawsuit yet.
>>58978358no shit the mediteranean sea is practically a lake.
>>58978389Violet wasn't an upgrade though
>>58978397Lakes don't inherently have bad graphics.
>>58978358I enjoyed SV but I'm glad I won't have to hear as much bullshit about graphics this time trying to discuss the game. Thank you lord
>>58978358Is that a palofin cloud
>>58978358Wait until you play it in the Nintendo Switch 3!
Biggest graphical upgrade in the series history.
>>58978358SV's was itself a massive step up compared to how the ocean looked in the Crown Tundra.
>>58978358All it took was for them to swallow up their ego and use Unreal Engine.
>>58978358Waves look better in Wave, but violets looked better in Violet
Scat and Vomit were such an embarassment.
>>58978358>not actual gameplay footage
>>58978358who else saw the starters and is straight up disappointed for the game?
>>58978371>OH SHIT WE NEED TO MAKE A WHOLE 3D OPEN WORLD GAME WITH OUR FUCKING SPAGHETTI ENGINE IN ONLY 4 YEARS FUUUUCK FUUUUUUUCKKKKThat's what.
>>58978371Isihara literally thought the Switch was going to be a flop and that all dev time should be for mobile games. So when it didn't flop, pokemon was completely unprepared to develop a proper game for the Switch.
>>58978992Nice meme, but while partially correct (Ishi DID boomertard the concept of Switch), it's also WILDLY incorrect, as TPC have no direct control, influence or say on what games Game Freak make in the Pokémon series and never have. Game Freak own sole dev rights, Nintendo order the games directly from them (and provide the budget) because they want the games EXCLUSIVELY for their hardware, not contracting them through TPC as side support like with PBR, Colo/Gale and the rest the trash Ishihara produced as spin offs for the Pokémon brand.Game Freak just take time to get used to a new system, because until they get that new system, they're working with potatoes figuratively and metaphorically, as they're not ALSO making games for other consoles, as they don;t need to whore oyut to several systems/publishers to keep studio lights on, they don't exactly have to try until they need to (even the Switch wasn't that great, compared to what S2 is).
>>58978863Not at all
>>58978863The opposite
>>58978358NINTENDOHIRETHISMAN
>>58978358SV was so fucking HORSESHIT
>>58978358The water looks good as well as the sky, but I'm still iffy on the land. Looks super plastic-y
>>58980346I've been watching the trailer a lot, and the land actually looks really fucking good. Compare this shot to any given shot in BOTW and you'd be hard pressed to see a difference
>>58980375It looks way better. BoTW always looked like like dogshit. It's just that pokemon was even worse.
>>58980346That's because this is Winds and Waves. The DLC, Soil, will include high-detail land.
>>58980375>>58980497BoTW is a Wii U game. How come Pokémon is still being measured against it a whole two generations later? Can't we beat fucking Expedition 1993 or whatever other nice games released last year?
>>58980793Wii U games still look good, so do PS3 and 360 games for that matter. Graphics haven't mattered in a long time, at least not like they used to when that could be the entire selling point, Pokemon was just years behind everyone else so that it feels refreshing that they've finally caught up to being acceptable
>>58980839These graphics are acceptable for 1999. Unfortunately it's 2026, the game's releasing in 2027, and this is the world's highest-grossing franchise.
>>58981392>>58980793Eventually being two generations behind is gonna go from looking like shit, to passable, to decent, to absolutely fine the longer the series goes on forExact same thing is happening to fallout / tes series
>>58980375>windmill runs at 30fps instead of 3fpsthat's one SV mistake corrected.
>>58978358>being fooled by trailersGame looks 30fps btw. After the SV upgrade and ZA I can’t go back
>>58981392>These graphics are acceptable for 1999lollmao evenwhat the actual fuck do you think games looked like in 1999
>>58978863do people actually care for starters this much?i always ditch them the moment i can
>>58981486They're usually some of the best Pokémon you get since you obviously start the game with them, so I can see why a lot of people tend to commit to using them and are disappointed when they don't like a design. The opportunity cost of boxing them for something with better stats after they've soaked up precious Trainer Battle EXP throughout the game doesn't really matter in the modern games though.
>>58981392You weren't even alive in 1999 were you?
>>58978445Legitimately rivals the difference between gen 2 and gen 3
It's on a new console, looking way better should be a given.
>>58978358PFFFFFTAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA OH NO NO NO NO SVSISTERS
>>58980375>just compare this current gen release on next gen hardware to a game that came out on the WiiU a decade ago.GF shills coping as usual they should be thankful for the bare minimum
>>58983289BOTW didn't come out a decade ago. Its close, but yet. And even if it did, it still doesn't look bad in the slightest
>>58978358Left is actual gameplay, right is almost certainly not. You will be disappointed.
>>58983352Pokemon games don't change that much from reveal to release anon. The game from SV's reveal trailer was the same game that came out.There's nothing so crazy about Wind and Wave's trailer to believe its not running in-game as well. in fact most of the trailer was likely in-game.
>>58978370Maybe they will during a storm?
>>58979186>like with PBR, Colo/Gale and the rest the trash Ishihara produced as spin offsyou're fucking based
>>589813921999? Was Playstation, Saturn, and N64 you dolt.
If there's any upside to diminishing returns in visuals for gaming, it's that eventually everyone will catch up.
The issue is art direction more than anythingIt still doesn't look good, the characters aren't nice looking and still stiffly animated
>>58983902If this were still SV, I would have agreed with you. But WiWa's sense of design is more in line with the rest of the franchise and the characters and setting actually feel like they belong in Pokemon again
>>58978358miiverse water guy would be proud
>>58978358Sword, Sheild & Scarlett Violette are completely disgusting. Always have been. These new games at least look decent.Can you catch them ALL??
>>58983922I'm not even fooling though when I say its very palworld, the human is much more cartoony than the environment which is leaning more towards realistic
>>58978358Behold, the power of a console that isn't pure dogshit!
>>58983964Pokemon has always existed in a realistic world, that's the premise. Character designs notwithstanding, Pokemon isn't a cartoony world, it's mostly supposed to be grounded. And the humans and Pokemon still fit in it pretty well.
>>58981486The starters are what they choose to represent their game and overall dex. They are putting their best foot forward and basically the entire marketing hinges on them.So when the starters are bad you know you're in for some shit.If I'm not being too reactionary, the gen 10 starters aren't "that" bad, not the worst in the series at least. That goes to gen 8. However they also just look like something from an indie pokemon clone that's badly copying modern pokemon designs which are in turn badly copying older pokemon designs so I dunno mane.
>>58978358The water looks very good. The fauna on land could use some improvements. Gamefreak still struggles making dirt and grass look nice, but overall way better than SV.
>>58978863Can't say I'm a fan but the bird is starting to grow on me
>>58978371palworld hadn't raped them yetpokefags should be grateful for competition instead of devolving into tribalism, bootlicking a shitty corporation, defending their shitty products and consooming low quality slop
>>58984124It isn't growing on me, but I have the most interest in its evolutions. The dog will probably be stupid and the gecko will be some waifu shit. I'd be pretty happy to have a proper bird starter though, like with wings that it uses not like the other bird starters.
>>58983159Definitely wasn't the case going from USUM to SwSh, even LGPE looked better than SwShit and SV and LGPE looks like every other cheap mobile game
>>58983748He's desperate to shitpost about the game's visuals lmao
>>58980375>comparing it to one of the ugliest modernish games of all timeUnfair.
>>58978863It honestly looks like they took design-by-plushie-committee to a point where it seems like they're trying to recession proof the designs by reducing manufacturing complexity, thus costs. I know the games are just TPCs race pistol to start the new gen where they make all their real money through merch but this is ridiculous.
>>58978371The engine was from 3DS and development time short.
