>>59406274WiWa November 2027
>>59406275But enough about this anon's top surgery date
>>59406275This is where I think the styles clash a little; the water looks nice, but almost too realistic for the anime-like trainers and Pokemon.
>>59406278>but almost too realistic for the anime-like trainers and Pokemon.Welcome to every modern jrpg slop. Pic relatedI agree though. Its one part GF trying to make up for SV and one part them chasing AAA trends instead of having their own style
>>59406274Finally looks like Final Fantasy 10
>>59406274Meh
>>59406274If we entered an alternate reality and GF made this the Pokemon debut title on Switch 1, it would be WAY more well-received.We finally entered "acceptable" standards.
>>59406408That wouldn't be possible because this game never would've ran on Switch 1. SV also used to look fine, but they had to complete butcher it just to make it run at 20 fps on Switch 1.I'm like 99% sure that the Switch 2 was planned to release alongside the SV DLC together with the performance patch so that people would be more forgiving, but then the Switch 2 release was delayed.
>>59406433>SV also used to look finelol no that's the biggest bullshit ever told on this site. were you 4 when it came out?
>>59406274ARE THOSE... JUST BARELY BETTER THAN PS3 ERA GRAPHICS?!GAMEFREAK ONII-SAMA I'M CUMMIIIIIIIIING!!!
>>59406450It objectively looked a lot better in earlier stages, anon. Look how much nicer the lighting and the textures look.
>>59406455my mistake at first I read it as some kind of cope like "the graphics were good for the time" when it came out since I'm so used to reading retarded shit on here
>>59406463Lol, it happens.
>>59406274>30fps in the big 27
>>59406433I wonder if GF finally learned how to code for the system they make games for.
>>59406500If anything, they got external help to fix their amateur spaghetti code engine.
>>59406274I worry that like with SV, as shown in >>59406455, we may see the visuals downgraded to get it to run properly on the system. In the same vein, I don't think the switch was the issue with SV, given Xenoblade 3 released on the same system in the same year with very little choppiness and a lot less pop-in. GF seem to consistently make the worst compromises way too late into development for Pokémon games, and given what we saw from the tera leak, they know they're falling short of what they can do, but they didn't seem to propose a solution to the problem.
still doesnt look like a pokemon game
>>59406455>>59406528Except the difference is that SV looked like shit in it's initial trailer whereas winds and waves looks infinitely better at reveal, albeit nothing too crazy in terms of a leap in graphics. I think part of them does know if they do downgrade after the positive reception of the reveal trailer, they'll get more backlash than they did with SV's launchBut GF IS retarded and can't handle modern console gaming so I wouldn't doubt it
>>59406274Too bad it’s based on Indonesia…
>>59406560Monkey paw: The visuals have improved and the games runs fine, but it they have Sonic 06 levels of loading screens.
>>59406274It's nice that they're actually putting effort into the environments this time but I have a feeling this is only going to make things worse. That increase in visual fidelity requires more effort to be put into the Pokémon as well but I highly doubt that's going to happen. Wingull tweening all over the place looked bad but it at least looked fittingly bad when the last few gens have been absolute dogshit visually overall. Put that sort of shit in a decent looking game and it sticks out even more.
I'm not feeling the new games.Thinking I'll finally get Sword or Shield instead.
>>59408325SwSh is literally the worst of all the new games, retard
>>59406433the weird thing is that you can absolutely have a decent looking switch game, and some of the interiors of ZA actually look quite nice, it's just that GF can't optimize for shit so they have to neuter the visuals just to have things run at 20fps if you're lucky
>>59408443>it's just that GF can't optimize for shitPainfully accurate. Just look at how they solved the numerous visual issues people complained about; most building are flat boxes with all the details simply painted on.
>>59406587They really missed a good opportunity to set it in Australia.
>>59406278I'll never understand why they keep trying to chase realism and havent even attempted to replicate Sugimori's style. Unironically they should hire that man because this shit doesnt look good or stand out.
>>59406274>NPCs still have that stupid low budget western cg movie faceFire whoever models the NPCs already, holy shit
>>59408595>the mon are all poison type>the terrain are all desert>the character are all abo and worst version of anglosIndonesia would still be 100x better
The question is, do you think it will actually actually actually look like this or will it be like every other game that shows crazy graphics in marketing and then releases looking way worse
>>59408997The world will probably look okay but the NPCs are still going to look like character creator dogshit, Pokémon are still going to have lazy animations, a lot of character animations in general are going to be recycled(prepare to see the Hop hand wave again) and the flow of the game is going to be ruined by handholding cutscenes every ten steps.
I don't mind going back to the old battle screen style instead of the seamless "real-time" battle on the overworld
>>59406274>>59406408>>59406433I am convinced the reason it seems better is because vibecoding with AI is somehow better at optimisation than GF.>>59408609They really should hire that man
>>59408443Yes, it's absolutely an optimization issue first and foremost. They're using their shitty in-house engine, and they're obviously still 3D amateurs all things considered. So it's basically unavoidable that their own engine is a fucking spaghetti code mess, especially if they just keep tacking on shit on top of their old engine instead of overhauling the whole thing. They straight up just don't have time for that if they shit out a game every 2-3 years, even lack of expertise aside.SV looks like a PS2 game because their skill and expertise is equal to people who used to make PS2 games and use similar limited techniques. They just lack the skill to make a game that holds up to the current standard.I'm convinced that Beast of Reincarnation is supposed to be practice project just to learn what a modern engine is supposed to be like. I mean it's Unreal slop, but I'm sure that Unreal Engine looks like fucking magic compared to whatever they're using for Pokémon.The gen 10 engine definitely seems better though, wonder if they just hired a couple of engineers to overhaul theirs or if it's a new engine entirely.
>>59406274it looks like a Switch 1 game now. Which is still ugly.
>>59406274not a single building will be enterable
>>59409404This, unless they map building interiors within the overworld itself, but I doubt they could get the doors to work right without horrendous clipping issues.
The water being so good makes everything else look out of place now, especially the character models and buildings.
>>59408439>Resorts to insults immediately Insecure much?
>>59408439At least it has a Battle Tower
>>59409648>say retarded thing>get called retard>"waaah meanie :("Thin skinned much? Don't say dumb shit and you won't be insulted>>59409682No one cares in the age of online battlingMost people don't even interact with itAlso doesn't make the rest of the game not shit
