It was not. If BotW looked worst than the demo and ran like ass, obviously something more complicated isn’t going to cut it. That’s what I meant with my previous post. The open world ness of that game and the sheer draw distances are just too much and very different to be compared to a closed tech demo.
The art direction, polish, interactivity, and animations blow Biomutant out of the water. More things are being calculated at once with Zelda BotW/TotK due to the physics simulation and powers. I bought and supported Biomutant up till release but that game isn't that polished and wasn't as smooth on my PS4 at the time.If you actually played ragnarock, you should know that they don't give you any solution right away, they just give you a basic hint or tell you how you can interact, far from ideal but the level of challenge of actually solving the puzzle is basically the same as nintendo puzzles.
They are both puzzles tailored for childs.
I know you like nintendo aesthetics, but we had this doscussion in the past, you can maintain a similar artstyle and have much better graphic like the already discussed botw vs biomutant.
Like, can you tell what is incredible art design wise in any of these pics??
A basic rock formation, a middling enemy model, a purple ray from the sky? A genric space station in the background? A generic lab?
I can pick random screen of fucking starfield that run laps around this stuff.
And it's honestly the same with the zeldas, the textures are so undetailed that everything look like the most generic slop.
What the fuck is impressive in this screen other than low res texture galore?
I just don't get it, it feels like nintendo fans fill the detail void with their imagination or some shit.
This pic of biomutant looks better than anything you can post of of the 2 zeldas while still being cartoony and far from realistic
I guess it's ok to like lop poly\low res texture graphic, but i can't see the art design prowess neither tbh.
The good looking grass is the saving grace of almost any decent zelda pic.
Dude this is a topic about graphic, so of course we are gonna discuss mostly about graphic.
Then why do so many of you continue to bring the Nintendo Switch into the conversation when graphical fidelity isn't what it is focused on? I frequent this thread often and know the discussions are about graphical fidelity. Can we get back on topic?
Don't ask me, i didn't brought nintendo or how lazy their devs are, i just joined the discussion.
Is Nintendo exempt from graphical conversations now because they’ve chosen to not prioritize it at all? They’re releasing a major game in 2025 (when the switch 2 supposedly comes out) that looks two generations behind. Metroid Prime used to be awesome looking upon release.
I mean to me it’s worth discussion - no Internet forum discussion is going to move the needle that much - but Nintendo could maintain all the things that are great about their games and push graphics forward. They used to do it all the time… with something like MP4 - it’s releasing in 2025 - why not take advantage of switch 2? I’m genuinely curious why fans don’t hold them to a higher standard.
Its like we would compare bodies of Arnold and CBum and some weirdo posted scrawny old grandpa's pic saying- but look, apreciate his personality =Pwhy the fuck am I looking at Nintendo Switch Screenshots in a graphical fidelity thread? Even uprezzed and modded to hell those graphics are PS3 era at best.....
For now all ninny games give vibes similar to ps3/xbox 360 era graphics wise, which isnt bad for outdated af handheld aka switch, but this topic is about graphic fidelity we expect this gen, not 2 gens ago ;D
The Sphere included
Well that’s my other issue with the trailer itself - I saw nothing different gameplay wise. I’m sure there will be something that sets it apart - but the trailer itself was disappointing on that level as well for me.
What MP4, and switch games in general have done, is bust the myth of Nintendo devs magically extracting more out of their hardware than other devs. It's been proven to be nonsense. The wii u was supposedly more powerful than the ps3 and 360 GPUs and it didnt translate to better looking games. Same goes for switch, at least in docked mode. There is no nintendo magic. no secret sauce. they are bound by tflops (or in their case gflops) just like everyone else and they dont have the graphics talent of Guerrilla Games, Naughty Dog, Rockstar, Epic Games, SSM and other big studios of that generation. Hell, even 343i was doing some amazing stuff on the Xbox 360.
Where is Fable? Wow.
Because there should be a certain standard, no matter the art style. Weak hardware and low resolution in 2024 doesn’t cut it, aliasing and outdated visuals don’t cut it either. Imagine PS2 fidelity on all of your AAA switch games, is that “ARt StYL3” or weak hardware and lazy devs?
I agree, just look at the Horizon lego game. Visuals like that with path tracing look CGI….
I’m actually surprised to see how good it looks on the switch. Yes it looks phenomenal on the ps5 but switch version without lumen still looks excellent. It’s probably the best looking switch game since the first Mario vs rabbids game that was made on Massive’s snowdrop engine.
I haven't watched the trailer, but I guess they had to do something for the performance's sake.
Yeah fable looks better than all the 5 games on that list
It worked spectacularly for the Wii and the switch. Remains to be seen how it will work in the future. I did not expect Metroid prime 4 to look that dated at all. Switch 2 releases next year I would’ve figured they’d have made it a launch title and a switch 2 showcase
I hope it is that, fuck puzzles I hope there isnt a single one in the game lol
Fable, MFS 2024, PerfectDark, Expedition 33, Wukong, Stalker 2... I think can look better than these games in the list. (Fable for sure)
Where the hell did i spoke about puzzles?
Doom looked trully next gen, but still, new mgs3 remaster outlassed the rest imo

Lets wait till actual release, to me it looks either pc version trailer or straight up bullshot, thats how good it looks, especially that native 4k full fat sharpness, not some pixelated blur like in hellblade2 which was even more limited scope/interactions and yet got big praise here
Looks worse than ghost recon breakpoint
