But you are indeed playing with power this time. Just a tiny,bit piece of power you can take anywhere you want.
There will be some seriously gorgeous pirtable games on the Switch,Zelda is just the beggining.
The thing is, art style can only be BETTER by having better graphics quality, whether that's resolution and/or framerate, or texture quality, geometry, increased level of detail, anisotropic filtering, etc. Like, you don't have to separate graphics and art style. Graphics without a great art style (art style being subjective) is meaningless, and art style without great graphics is wasteful.
lol okay.
Oh really? Well that settles it lol
Less whinning about shitty dualshocker site and more gifs, please.
There's always negative nancies and the gaming industry is shockfull of them.
If a kid has shitty taste, as long as it's not mine I couldn't give less of a shit that he throws a hissy fit at technical terms he has no understanding over.
Some art styles don't really work with more details in them.
Retro 8bits art style is exactly supposed to be what's on the tin, it's absurdly pointless to have that artstyle rendered in a top of the line engine that doesn't do anything with it.
To sum it up, art without limitation is worthless.
it's true for films, books, paintings and it's still true for games.

You're fighting salt with more salt from yourself then? Interesting strategy here, chap.
Thread is going places.

On the topic of visual tastes I also think The Last Guardian is more impressive than Uncharted 4, Final Fantasy XV and The Witcher 3.
and like Breath of the Wild people complained about frame rate issues. For me Breath of the Wild, Bloodborne and The Last Guardian are three of the most visually appealing games this generation. There's something more appealing about a distinct art style than an attempt at realism.

That's all I'm really asking for TBH. A meh is fine. I don't need a AAA team of VAs, esspecially since not everything is voiced.

I get that, but hate portables now. Sold off my 3DS and Vita last year as I hadn't used them in ages. I just have no use for gaming anywhere but my mancave on the TV, have some neck issues that make looking down at portables painful (so I can really only play laying down) etc.
So for my usages Switch is just a very overpriced and underpowered console and it will have to build one hell of a game library or have massive price drops (or get a cheap console only version down the road) for it to be worth it for me personally. So I'm super glad BOTW is still coming to Wii U.
The dude praised a Vita game for its graphics and then proceed to shit on zelda and pre-emptively accuse others of being impartial.
Totally fair opinion bro.
EDIT: not to talk the site it's all about "real games for real gamers", i mean, grow up seriously.
Think I'm gonna skip the review thread altogether if the last couple of pages are any indicator as to how it'll end up lol
Lol banned site gonna banned site. Someone got triggered by the Vice and Gamecentral remarks over Horizon.
No Zelda does not get a pass over having poor IQ because it's Zelda, it's getting a pass because all the IQ in the world doesn't factor into whether a game is good or not.
If you guys want to feel bad for those poor Bokoblins, watch this. These animations are heartbreaking.

Breath taking. Anyone who's skipping on the Switch will be fine.
Holy shit! look at the range of that grounded guardian!
Seems like a fine version of the game.
The point remains though, some people reviewing the game will share his thoughts and react to the game similarly -- and that's ok.
We really need footage of the intro, to see if the dynamic lightning is still here! Can someone tell him?

Nintendo proritizes "gameplay" over pushing graphics,cinematics,etc realistic or otherwise and energy efficient systems.
they like to think they achieve some balance by trying to be unique,sometimes this can work well,others it won't and they can be rightfully critizised.
Maybe we have to accept they are advancing at their own pace,tech wise the jump from Wii to Wii U was massive for them and no amount of preparation would be enough.but Switch has the potential to be a great machine despite lacking the pushing power of its competitors

Solid version of the game, wouldn't have expected less.
I never separate graphics and art style. for me graphics are what's presented to me on the screen. so while I can certainly agree that BotW could look better with certain improvements (like most any game made for a specific set of hardware requirements) it's still a very appealing game to me visually and like I said before I struggle to think of a current gen game that I think looks better.
so I can agree with your point but it obviously doesn't detract enough from the game for me to have an issue with it
(also your post had nothing to do with the post that you quoted from me ;p)
KH3 seems a bit shit on the style though, it's going for the CG look of the prerendered sequences of the old games.
Doesn't really fit well with the actual games that went for a more cartoonish look that meshed rather well.
Heck the highlight of KH2 for me was the pirate world with how they handled a more realistic setting with KH's distinctive looks.
Why is Dualshockers banned? Serious question.

l know he probably didn't do it on purpose but damn he was styling when he deflected the stone the bokoblin threw at him by shooting it with an arrow in mid air.
Talking about art style, I think Ni No Kuni 2 is outdoing pretty much all of them when it comes to emulating a cartoon/anime. It's ghibli through and through.

You know I have long prided myself on never buying a console at launch because they always never have enough games and they may have problems in the earlier models, but here I am now thinking of pulling the trigger and its pretty much because I never bought a Wii U

That's not how BotW is designed. Most puzzles seem to have multiple solutions.
Other solutions: You use stasis to knock down the chests. Or you could use the ice Rune to build steps towards the chests.
Yes.

I'm hoping for a Digital Foundry comparison video. I love what they do.
yeah that shit looks slick as fuck and I'd prefer its graphics to many other games that are doing more impressive things technically
Climbing don't know, I don't think we've seen food that replenishes Stamina, extend yes, but not replenish. Fighting yes, as long as you are in control, don't think you can if you've taken damage and have been knocked down.

Yes, you eat stuff in the pause menu you can call at any time.

Looks good to me! I feel less bad about not being able to get a Switch at launch now.
Gravity Rush 2 got it beat imo

I'm pretty put off by that if we are being honest. The characters look way to different than the environment that it's off putting.
Was never a fan of the gameplay either.

It's definitely more appealing if you don't have/never had a Wii U.
For one, it's the only way you can play Zelda. Well, you could buy a Wii U, but that would be kind of silly at this point IMO.
For another, MK8 and any other Wii U ports it gets (Smash problably, maybe Mario Maker or a sequel etc.) will be totally new to you. Sequels like Splatoon 2 will also be fresher (no pun intended) if you've not played the first to death.
Looks really good. Curious to see some footage with extreme weather and other things Edge says led to drops.

I know what is the 1rst stuffs I'll do then!
Scavenge to get the max number of items to replenish stamina and climb down the great plateau without the glidder!
Nah. GR is absolutely one of the greats, but it doesn't compete with the Ni-No-Kuni games in terms of art style.

I can spoil that for you, if you want.
Yes! this!, I want to laugh at the people that called me out for suggesting the WiiU might look better, please be there lol
