Because its a fairly standard boss fight where you hit weak spots and call it a day.
Why are there no proper gifs of this fucking boss online anywhere? One of the coolest boss fights this gen and nothing
Damn bear every single western boss fight is like that. except Abby vs Ellie in TLOU2
Anti-china bias. The fact that Astro bot won over it is hilarious because astro is literally a game from the ps2 era. zero innovation from SMG games.
the animation in some boss fights from Wukong was exceptional, probably the best of the industry
Watch bananza stealing the goty from exp33 or kc2 or crimson desert...
These gifs make the game look like it's actually fun. Might try it now, thanks.I thought this was the most epic boss fight in the game. The mountain setting is perfect for this. I had some drone sentry guns going at the same time which made it even more epic.
Coffin board is cool too.
Don't, the boss fights are absolutely dogshit like the first game.
Just finished TLOU2 on PC and I was impressed by this fight, it's not a hard fight at all, but it's got you using all that you've learned.
Game got great reviews...
I would be happier if prime 4 get the goty over buttanazza, but the reveal didn't rocked my world at all nor looked anything special.
Yeah, I meant from the gamers.
It's interesting you show this part of the video when 95% of the footage is a locked 60fps lol... The game is pushing technical boundries and doing something a bit different on a hybrid console no less. Some of you just love that Nintendo hateradeDonkey Kong Bananza is 1080p-1200p in docked mode, FSR1 upscaling, SMAA, with drops to 30fps.
And the visuals look like this:
Pretty much a technical disaster as far as I'm concerned.
Still can't wait to play as I'm sure the game is going to be really fun
Oh. Yea I couldn't even finish it, I hated all the characters lol.
Dont listen to gymwolf. Combat is the one thing thats been massively expanded upon in this game. It's basically MGSV. You have a million options. They added a tranq sniper rifle that you can upgrade to be silenced just like MGSV. You can craft silenced versions of both the handgun and assault rifle. Every vehicle can be upgraded with weapons. Machine guns, rockets, mortars, you name it. You can also use manually placed Machine guns, or put down automatic turrets. There are also 3-4 new swords, and some melee combat combos. You can even capture BTs and have them fight alongside you.
Nah, Exp 33 received a 92 metacritic so it wont be slept on by critics come GOTY time like Wukong which peaked at 81.
It was my goty but the game is very flawed in term of story and pacing imo.
Yeah, but aren't all these redundant as the game is easier than the 1st?, which was also easy.
Yeah, I guess I didn't find any problems with the pacing, I found all the walking sections came at the right time as there are plenty of lengthy action segments.
It still had a much better pace than unchy4.
This is a valid criticism. The game is very easy.
Bit of a random game from 1997 I just replayed (dark earth).
Funny as I remember it looked so good when it came out.
Compare this to death stranding 2 lol
vs
lol.
Fanboys are the worst everywhere. It's a shame because we are all getting older every year, and i wouldve thought that as you age you propensity to gauge bullshit increases, but then i saw 50 year olds like VFX Veteran behave like children and lost all faith in humanity. Some people wrap their entire identity around defending these companies.DF threads are just full of crazies I swear. Loads of people defending Nintendo using FSR1 and double buffered vsync in 2025. Ah well at least this thread has some standards
Switch 1 game or not... What a fucking joke man.I remember being blown away by Super Mario 64 on an N64 demo station in a Virgin Megastore in London, 1996.
Coming from a Super Nintendo, I could not believe it, it was pure magic. What an incredible technical progress within just a few years!
Watching Akira and Ghost in the Shell around the same time on Laserdisc, I legitimately thought that we would live in a utopian future with all the bells and whistles by the year 2000.
Me dumb fuck
So here we are in 2025, and this the state of the world and what Nintendo games look like on their brand new console:
it's the best PS5 exclusive this gen, go for it
I actually wonder why we skipped those kind of graphics…
This is a GRAPHICS thread. GoY should look better.
Though Bananza doesn't appeal to me visually at all, you are right, at least Nintendo has substantially innovated their 3D platformer formula, I give them that.DK Bananza is (unironically) the most impressive game this generation, it prioritizes destructibility that is integral to its core design philosophy, it flipped the script of limited, predictable platforming & punching foes by implementing those same philosophies but with a substantial layer of skill expression, player freedom & deep interactivity, this pushes the player to experiment rather than focus on one way to beat a level, this is the Nintendo that I wish Sony & Microsoft would become or at least take a note from.
They proactively look for ways to build a game with extremely high-resolution thinking & brainstorming, and now that is their idea that utilizes next-gen tech, Voxel-based Destructibility, it's a supremely impressive tech that is ingrained within the game's design philosophy itself rather than a cake dressing (looking at you Rift Apart...)
This is more impressive
than this.
It's wild, but even more wild is we have many gaffers saying it's fine. All that hype about DLSS coming to switch 2, then they bust out the FSR1 and apparently that's good enough lolBananza using fsr1 after all the rumors about sw2 dlss was not on my bingo card
Didn't we already had this discussion?DK Bananza is (unironically) the most impressive game this generation, it prioritizes destructibility that is integral to its core design philosophy, it flipped the script of limited, predictable platforming & punching foes by implementing those same philosophies but with a substantial layer of skill expression, player freedom & deep interactivity, this pushes the player to experiment rather than focus on one way to beat a level, this is the Nintendo that I wish Sony & Microsoft would become or at least take a note from.

Surely not from nintendo first parties.It's wild, but even more wild is we have many gaffers saying it's fine. All that hype about DLSS coming to switch 2, then they bust out the FSR1 and apparently that's good enough lol
Anyways, Still can't believe AC Unity is over a decade old. I wonder if the Switch 2 could pump out something this impressive
The game was developed by Senzo Tanaka ?
Very fun read
Tanaka:
From a programmer's perspective, voxel technology is well-suited for creating gameplay centred around destruction. However, it also uses a lot of system memory, and we faced the challenge of Switch not having enough to support everything we wanted to do. I'll explain with some simple arithmetic. If you're asked to double the size of a 1 × 1 pixel image in both width and height, you end up with a 2 × 2 image, which means four times as many pixels. But when you do the same with voxels, you've got width and height, but also depth to contend with. So, doubling all three dimensions gives you 2 × 2 × 2, or eight times the data. It may sound simple to just "double something", but the reality is that memory usage, voxel density, and all kinds of processes end up gobbling up eight times the resources. It was clear that the memory available on Switch would struggle to handle that load, and we felt that manifesting the huge volume of terrain that we did in this game might have been unachievable on that platform. With the move to Switch 2, we gained not only more memory but also greater processing capacity. That gave us the freedom to incorporate gameplay ideas we'd previously abandoned because they were too demanding. When we got down to trying it, we discovered that not only could it handle the heavy processing requirements, but it also ran at 60 fps (10). Things we'd given up on, like explosions flinging large objects or causing them to collapse, were now possible. Designers could also place as many objects as they wanted. There were so many moments when we thought to ourselves, "Now we can really do this".
Tanaka:
Right. The technology that enables voxel-based shapes to appear smooth already existed, but we figured that if we were going to do it right, we should push the visuals to have a strong sense of realism. Of course, actually getting that to work took an obscene amount of effort from both the designers and the programmers.
It's easy to break everything and add destruction when everything looks like a basic ps2 texture. Other studios have standards. if ND released a game with destruction like Donkey Kong and visuals like Donkey Kong, they would literally be laughed out of the industry. You think CD project, Rockstar, GG cant do basic shit like this? Of course they can. They just have to follow industry standards which means A) they cant keep making kiddie platformers and B) they have to release something that doesnt look like a ps2 game.DK Bananza is (unironically) the most impressive game this generation, it prioritizes destructibility that is integral to its core design philosophy, it flipped the script of limited, predictable platforming & punching foes by implementing those same philosophies but with a substantial layer of skill expression, player freedom & deep interactivity, this pushes the player to experiment rather than focus on one way to beat a level, this is the Nintendo that I wish Sony & Microsoft would become or at least take a note from.

Imagine how long this game must have spent in development for Switch 1 that they couldn't even bother swapping out the FSR.Bananza using fsr1 after all the rumors about sw2 dlss was not on my bingo card
Lmao so in the end i was right, rf guerrilla and his systematic building destruction is actually more advanced than whatever bananza is doing.
Zero physics? Jesus that is actually a huge bummer
