So why did they suddenly become competent in 3D graphics? What changed?
>>58985698Masuda got sacked
>>58985703? Masuda is the one who made consistently good looking 3D games though
>>58985698Nintendo finally grew a spine and told them to get their shit together for the Switch 2.The whole point of the console is it's just a more powerful Switch, they don't want Gamefreak fucking that image up by making another early ps3 game.
>>58985698Isn't their new game using Unreal Engine? Maybe they switched for Pokemon too. Regardless if they did, going from the water they made for Scarlet and Violet to this isn't that big of a jump technology speaking, just some tweaking, and instructions on how to do it has been easy to find since forever. It just takes time to implement.https://developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/gpugems/part-i-natural-effects/chapter-1-effective-water-simulation-physical-modelshttps://developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/gpugems2/part-ii-shading-lighting-and-shadows/chapter-18-using-vertex-texture-displacementhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqxdVtJ24ms
>>58985698Still gotta see how it runs. The game not looking like pure dogshit is nice, but if it runs like shit, it doesn't mean anything.
>>58985770This is clearly the same engine of SV
>>58985698They put in minimal effort because they were expecting the Switch to flop. When it didn't, they ended up making themselves and Nintendo look bad, and now that the Switch 2 is here, the pressure is on them to actually try this time around.
>>58985792Wtf are you talking about? Pokemon didn't release on Switch until 2019 and by that point the console was already a major success. You're literally just making shit up.
>>58985698They focused hard on the water. When the water looks like it’s easy to overlook the fauna on land. The dirt and grass still look underwhelming. Obviously we haven’t seen much but I would also like more fauna, I want to get lost in a jungle.They nailed the water though. This should be what water looks like going forward
>>58985698What are the chances that's a bullshot for the trailer, and the actual game looks like a gamecube game?
>>58985698criticism workscompetition is good and healthyendless dickriding and corporate bootlicking is badglad pokefags finally understand
>>58985895I agree pal (hyuck), now don't overblow things.
>>58985915i didn't even buy or play palworldi'm just glad lamefreak was humbled into putting effort for once
>>58985698leak said they knew they lacked the technical capacity and time to make SV good looking. so maybe they just have more time and hired new people.
>>58985698Palworld probably scared them enough
>>58985698They had 5 years to work on this. It's that simple, you give the devs more time and the result is better.
>>58985792No one at GameFreak thought that, it was Ishihara at TPC that thought the Switch would flop and wanted to focus entirely on phones
>>58985703Masuda was sacked midway through XY’s dev cycle, and was only allowed to work on LGPE (the best looking Switch Pokemon game before WW). The games would have looked ten times better under him.
>>58986488>Masuda [FANFIC]every time
palworld raped themgonna buy more copies of CHADworld to keep tpc and gamefreak on their toes
>>58985698They were given time to work on it? Is it a surprise Gens 8 and 9 look like fucking dogshit when they have the 2 shortest dev times in the franchise?
>>58985698Obviously Palworld and endless criticisms about SV pushed them to give a tad bit more effort than usual. This is why competition is good. I don't even play / interested in Palworld.
>>58985698The water looks nice but the rest of the environments aren't particularly impressive for a modern game, I'm not really a graphics fag though so it isn't a huge deal.
>>58985770>>58985785The leaks that were showing the new water simulations months ahead of yesterday's reveal were running on Unreal Engine 4.
>>58985698ok, i have to saygamefreak proved themselves to be competent with wwwasn't expecting them to actually deliveri wonder how the other nintendo franchises will improve if this is what pokemon looks like on switch 2i can imagine zelda including underwater sections now that pokemon also has it
>>58986843the clouds and lighting also look great
>>589856985 years of development since SV
>>58985760>early ps3 gameIt looked worse than Resident Evil 4, a PS2 game.
Whoa. It seems that having more development time and working with a new console results in a better-looking game. How about that?
>>58987160kek it's hilarious there are retards desperately wanting the game to release this yearpokefags really are the main problem with the seriesnot gamefreak, not tpc, not nintendothis is 100% on brainless slop slurping consoomers
>>58987160>>58987193let's not kid ourselves here. They're not releasing the game until 2027 to "take their time and develop the game"Solely it's because GF always does this. They wait until the new console has a large userbase before releasing their Pokemon game. It was the same story with Sword and Shield taking like 2 and a half years after the Switch launched. And then way back with the 3DS and XY it was the same period of waiting like 2 years.
>>58985698Let's see,>nearly double their usual development time>on a much stronger system>more experience in general>no pandemic fucking production
We are approaching 20 year old tech.
>>58987242
>>58987215New schizocope just dropped.
