I don't understand why people have such a hard time accepting that a choppy framerate should not be acceptable for a game running at 900p in 2017 on brand new hardware.
Obviously this game isn't pushing any technological boundaries because it's running on an under powered machine.
Why can't we have this exact graphic style, just running more smoothly without people immediately jumping to defend poor performance.
The question is: Should a game that looks like this and runs at 1600x900 be locked at 30 frames in 2017?
There is only one answer.
Again, it's 2017 and this is new hardware.
If it looks like this and runs at 1600x900, it should be running at 60 frames.
Who am I kidding? I'll play it and probably love it.
This was the year where we convinced ourselves that a tablet was a home console. That is the power we are getting from Nintendo in 2017.
Are there drops in handheld mode?

Framerate is not good. Game doesn't seem fast and smooth at all. Reminds me OoT on the n64.
I just played it at the London event.
Most comparisons seem to indicate that there are practically none

I do agree that games should be judged by what the platform can produce. There are folks that would like to see Nintendo come up to spend graphically with the platforms around them and I don't see a problem with that.
Lol it looks like Shadow of the Colossus graphics, a PS2 game. God you fanboys get so defensive. I have a switch pre-ordered and will be getting Zelda day one. I'm just pointing out the obvious visuals. Keep kidding yourself then, its fine.

You sound like the defensive one here backing yourself into a corner with a dumb comment.
So the consensus is that this has the chance of being a GOAT caliber game?
Bit of an exaggeration no?
So I don't know if this has been brought up in the thread but Gamexplain posted a video where they compare the handheld and docked mode. Looks to me that when docked the game uses better textures, draw distance and shadows but runs a bit worse than handheld mode.
I hope that Nintendo releases a patch to stabilize the frame rate a bit

Not too impressed by the barren grasslands with the odd enemy here and there. Any footage of more linear dungeons?
Id like that too but it is what it is on console. If you really want Breath of the Wild at 4k/60fps then play it on a PC using cemu.
The haze you mention is part of the artstyle when it's sunny and bright. Again personal preference. The game looks far better in the gamersyde videos than it does in youtube videos.
Hopefully the framerate is improved with a day one patch. The day one Switch os patch might help it aswell.
as long as handheld mode is smooth, that's all that matters imo
i hope all first party devs treat handheld as the primary target for smooth fps
It looks like a PS2 game.Sorry guys, but I haven't been able to keep up with the thread, besides frame rate in docked mode, had there been any negative bits from the impressions?
This is a fair assessment, but honestly I don't find it any more pointless to rave about the graphics. I think it's a reasonable evaluation. This is my most anticipated game and I even held off buying Horizon to play it, but there are moments where I wish the frame rate were more solid or the textures were sharper or the resolution was higher. When I think things like this, I don't think about it being on PS4 or wish Nintendo made a traditional home console or any of that nonsense. All it is is my personal evaluation of the game.Meh, everyone knows it could look better, I don't think anyone would dispute that. But like, it's hard to argue that there's any real point to posts repeatedly bemoaning that it doesn't look as good as it could have, or wishing it was on a PS4, etc. Because realistically it's like, well... what do you want us to do about it? What we got is what we got, which imo looks pretty good considering the art style.

The people looking at a bunch of GIFs and youtube videos and saying it might be the greatest game of all time are the exact reason why I hate being a Nintendo fan.
It's like one degree of cringe separation from that basement dweller gamer stereotype.
Just a little cleaner and more colorful.

I know it's hyperbolic, but I think this is going to be an all-time classic.

Love how in the thread of Horizon you posted a hokey play on your username as your reaction to the reviews pouring in but here, you question the authenticity of the impressions.

I'm new here...
While I'm really hyped for the game, and I got it for Wii U since I don't think Switch is worth my money quite yet, I still think that the low framerate and lag on a new console on a tv is unacceptable. Game looks really nice, love the art style and I'm sure it'll be really good but I'm not going to lie. The 30 fps lag on tv experience is terrible for something released in 2017. I wonder how the Wii U version will feel like, I hope it's playable.
