Portable console screenshot thread (3DS/Vita) - Rules in OP
- Thread starter EatChildren
- Start date
But you're not playing the game blown up on a monitor. It's not perfect, but GA looks fantastic.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Wish damage numbers went away when you took pictures. Means you have to time the picture slightly before or after the blow lands.
Fuck me that's an ugly game.

Fire Emblem looks worse than Jean d'Arc, and that's a PSP game. And, come to think of it, Fire Emblem looks much worse than Valkyria Chonicles 2, which is also a PSP game. I thought the 3DS was more powerful than a PSP.

It is indeed. Baffles me to see people in this thread saying the game looks good.

I thought it was beautiful! For me the series has always excelled at battle animations, but most folks disable them come to find out. I don't get that. Sure, I set them at max speed but I gotta see that shit every time.
It's the feet that bother me. You can't tell me that's a design choice. They're feet are clipped through the ground.
Still bought it, but I haven't started it just because I know the battle animations are going to bother me.
Actually play it to be able to judge.
Even if a game that looks bad in screens looks way better in motion it would still looks worse than games that look already better in screens.
I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, but it was a design choice. They chose for them to have no feet.
Lol
Lol
I played it, still looks like crap.
I doubt it, dawg. Take your hyperbole shit somewhere else.
Really? Really?!
Really what

What makes you think I didn't? I played the demo and yes, it is ugly even on the 3DS screen.
Even if I haven't even touched the game, I do believe I have the right to complain about the graphics, especially in this specific thread.
I honestly only noticed the feet issue after people here on GAF complained about it. The feet are weird indeed.
Oh come on now. It's just not a pretty game.
It plays great, and the 2D portraits are pretty good, but the battles and the map screen both look really, really bad.
You think I need to play that before I can call it ugly?
I'm pretty fucking confident that unless there is some hitherto-unknown magic present on the cartridge, it's still going to look fucking ugly. It's far and away the ugliest game in this thread (until MH4 drops in the west). I can't imagine it suddenly blossoming into something else entirely when I see it running in front of me.
That shit is ugly. It looks like a PS1 game being emulated on a 2009 smartphone.

Dude, I've played it and it looks bad.
Really? Really?!
Yeah it's not the best looker graphically but I really like the character designs and what not. Plus the music is really good. I know that's moot in a discussion about graphics but on the 3DS screen it looks pretty decent (speaks volumes about the 3DS screen then I guess lol) plus that's more of a cut-screen you posted rather then something that's indicative of the actual game. The game actually just looks like a huge grid with mini people on it, like a chess board. It's like putting whizz bang effects in a game of connect 4.
It looks great on my XL. A little Aliased tho
That's like playing FF3 on your phone and going "this doesn't look like FF13 on my ps3" Why would anyone play FE for the graphics? it wasn't until GC/WII that it even used 3d graphics.

The FE screens are ugly no doubt but I never once thought that when I was actually playing it. It looks really good on a 3DS IMO. Even the 2D sprites over the 3D maps give off an appealing look. Then again it's a SRPG and I never think these are ever graphical powerhouses (except maybe Valkyria Chronicles) so maybe I'm operating on a lower standard, but I still think those screens are very misleading.
Because every Nintendo franchise has improved its graphics, what kind of backwards logic is that? oh no FE has always had shitty graphics, so they get a free pass. And even so the discussion was about it looking it like crap, and it is very bad looking game even for 3DS standards, nothing wrong with admitting it.

It's a turn-based strategy game...who gives a shit if the skippable battle animations aren't pretty (it's true...they're ugly).
The 2D sprites and cutscenes look amazing, however.

Why is everyone complaining about the graphics without posting actual footage. The game looks awesome in motion. Just one of those where screens don't do it justice.
25 seconds in is where in-game footage starts.

I don't think it's the case, there are better looking 3ds games.
Look for example at Vagrant Story for PS1
Would you honestly say that it looks a lot worse than FE? That's a PS1 game!
Maybe because this is a screenshot thread?
And in motion almost every game looks better, not only FE.
What a surprise, some random cat that can't spell my name moaning about the poster rather than the post.
This is a screenshot thread. The game's fucking ugly. I'm not going to hold my tongue to protect your delicate feelings.
and im not going to hold mine to protect yours.

Smoky's right, guys. It's not a pretty game.
But like I said...it's not trying to be a pretty game except for the animated cutscenes, which aren't really running in the game engine so it doesn't really count.

I don't know, let's compare the two properly.

Nope, Fire Emblem looks so much better. No twitchy polygons, and you can't see every pixel of every texture.
Magicpaint

Given that Vagrant Story is a pixelated, low poly mess today saved largely by great art direction, I'd say yes. FE:A is a lot more advanced graphically and anyone who has played both would know this.
Well there's a lot of middle ground between pretty and ugly. FE:A isn't a graphical showcase by any means but I think it's looks appealing, even if not "pretty" by a technical standard.

Aw come on you guys. Can't you Vita guys and 3DS folks just be peaceful for a change when you are together in a thread? Hahaha.
This a pleasant thread, no need to bog it down with shit slinging and what-not.
Although the comparison to Vagrant Story maaaay takes things a bit too far, hahaha.

That looks about the same, really.
I don't know guys, your expectations for FEA are a little out of place.

I usually can't even tell which sprites are my team and which sprites are the enemies when I'm playing the game because they're so small, blurry and indistinct. They only way I know who is who is that the enemy sprites have red health bars.
Until you compare it to Vagrant Story.
And why would anyone do that

I mean during the dialogue parts. The 2D art that pops up with the dialogue boxes.

Nah, Fire Emblem Awakening might be an affront to the eyes, but Bravely Default is gaawgeous to behold.

It's even prettier at night.
In Bravely Default my problem is that I want to screenshot every area... It's taking me forever to get anywhere in the game. Mrgrgrgr....
This game is hands down one of the most beutiful i have ever seen
I had missed all that amazing artistic detail since FF9 (and a bit FF10) days
It is mind blowing that they can have some of the best graphics in the industry and 3D effect at the same time, always dreamed of such visuals that bring true art in a 3D world
Trully saddens me to think how many Bravely Default game we could have with the budgets of FF11-13
