The downgrade from the 2014 Botw demo to Switch retail was frigging huge. I remember so many people trying to act like it wasn't downgraded too.This is the first time ive seen this take, but it makes a lot of sense. I always thought Switch was more powerful despite the difference in tflops because it was on a new generation of GPU.
But I have always wondered why the game was downgraded from the initial reveal despite it releasing on new hardware that was supposedly more powerful.
The original Wii U Zelda demo looked stunning too. It was realtime and you could move the camera around. I get that it was an indoors demo compared to the open world BOTW but the difference is generational.
Yup I can almost guarantee it will be fall '23. Zelda usually gets delayed multiple times.
Let me put it this way. 4A (metro 2033) programmers said Wii U CPU was "horrible and slow" which prevented Last light from appearing on Wii U. But switch got metro redux.
That was my thought too...at this point I could see Nintendo doing this (again).
Wii U games often had no AA either.
Wii U games often had no AA either.
Smash 4, pokken tournament, Mk8, New super mario bros., wonderful 101, etc. etc.
I think Pikmin 3 on switch has no AA but Wii U does? But in that case, it's a bad port in general that looks worse and runs worse. And doesn't have glorious IR pointing
And no AA has nothing to do with cpu anyway, but yeah some Switch ports are indeed inferior for one reason or another. Sm3d world looks worse on switch and the gameplay speed is f'd up.
Basically the Wii U and switch are close enough that if you don't put a lot of effort in porting, switch may end up with a bad port.
GOW looks like a direct sequel that should have just come out on PS4.
For countable nouns like book, table and shoe we use 'many'. For uncountable nouns like air, water, enjoyment, and content we use 'much'.
Be kinder to yourself.
Why do you hurt yourself like this?
Only thing it has over BotW is lack of weapon durability. You can't even cook or eat rocks in Elden Ring. Not even a Hero mode. For shame.
I get it. Its ok for Nintendo, Sony products to be delayed and pushed back, just not Microsoft
you will get a 6 year old looking game that will put games like horizon forbidden west to shame.
Right..like they were talking about the first one. I mean the only person that could say BOTW was a masterpiece RPG is someone that never even played RPGs before. And to think people were comparing it to Red Dead 2 lol....it was the most overhyped, most mediocre RPG (zelda). And the enemies they are reusing the same shit over and over, can they ever come up with a design that isnt 20+ years old? Nintendo keeping on with that minimal effort rep.
ok buddy you're so angry, we get it.
Not sure if we end up at 2/3 or 3/3 delayed
lol and people thought it wouldn't be a long wait because they lay the groundwork with BOTW.
i think starfield will get pushed back. actually it probably should if it doesn't. we all know it's going to release a buggy broken mess but hey it's bethesda so they get a free pass /s
who the fuck calls Zelda an RPG? It's an Action-Adventure.
I think the strengths of Read Dead(believability, story, cineast, characters) and BOTW(interactivity, freedom, gameplay oriented world design) are at different places, but for the sake of it:
