Come on, I'm a Nintendo guy myself but let's be real, PS4/5 are on a different level than the Switch power-wise and shitting on them doesn't help matters.
 
Ah, I can see the famous next gen variable resolutions going on in the middle of a screenshot. Marvelous.

And you use that against this?

And this?

This thread has been nothing but a trash heap. It shows the absolute worst of NeoGaf.

Beautiful, keep it up lads.
this should impress me ? even Dark Souls 3 look ages better than this, i agree with you that this thread has been nothing but a trash heap, you guys reach too much on this "MP4 looks like ps4 game", Nintendo fans cope are something else, geez.

I mean it took almost a decade to deliver the exact same visuals?

Get real. People would be absolutely skewering Xbox or Sony if they deliver a trailer like this.
It's not the exact same visuals, and it's not Nintendo nor players business what other companies deliver and how their fans cry about it. Metroid looks amazing as is, and it will look even better on Switch 2.

That's why OP said "one of the best looking Switch games", literally the thread has nothing to do with other platforms or companies, some people here just feel personally attacked as usual lol

I mean that's the actual issue.. Nintendo does not exist in a vacuum on its own.

Other companies exist and they deliver graphical improvements with every new installment. Even on old hardware.

Hmm.. the title is "UNCOMPRESSED metroid prime 4 footage best looking switch game??"

First post links the video, screenshot and says "what the is this switch 2 no way switch 1 can do this??"

I don't see any of this "one of the best". Only "the best?". Stop your gaslighting. If someone is trying to claim this the best looking game, including Switch games from other companies is fair game.

Maybe those people should stop trying to be techbros and just enjoy games. Or even just join the master race if they want to pixel count.
 
Some people here clearly have no clue about graphics rendering. Saying Halo 4 on Xbox 360 looks remotely close to MP4 is not just false, but ignorant and disrepects the devs hard work.

Texture quality, geometric fidelity and especially the lighting all are way ahead of 7th gen titles. This simply looks outstanding, especially considering the hardware, I can only applaud Retro Studios.

Perhaps some here are allergic to aliasing, and just anti-aliased image to aliased image makes people's brains go "former looks better" I can't think of any other reason.

They are gonna need a higher quality texture pack though. Samus has already a good amount of detail but a lot of the environment around her is pretty low resolution, especially the ground.

Yeah, the ground textures in particular look pretty rough and improving them for the hypothetical Switch 2 would have a major effect on my perception of the graphics, I think.

The enemy and environmental design look fantastic and some of the overall muddiness would be improved by a simple resolution bump (as the uncompressed footage and screenshots show), so I do think a Switch 2 version has the potential to look really fucking good, but you're right that they would have to change some textures (and maybe add some foliage) to get there.

On Switch, buddy, on Switch

Those graphical improvements mean nothin if there's a good art direction, they can help boost graphics but far from be all end all, if people from other brands don't like the approach, they're free to not play Nintendo games. What's the point of complaining? I play on PC and still think Metroid Prime 4 looks amazing (except for IQ which Switch 2 will fix anyway).

Besides, they don't exist in a vacuum yet the thread is about best looking game on Switch, not ever on any platform.

And some people were arguing it's not the best looking game on the Switch.

It doesn't need to have the latest technology either. But in motion there's edge lines dancing around the screen, and extremely low quality environment textures and models. Samus herself is very high rez so anyone just staring there won't see the issue. But there are many other games on the Switch without these issues.
 
Overall visual fidelity, MP4 is better than KZ on PS3. From lighting, material works, geometries, texture details, image quality, and plus 60 fps that make things much better and smoother.

For 720p/30fps Crysis 3 remastered on Switch is more impressive than KZ2/3 on PS3

Yes, showing Resistance 2, Halo 4, OG Crysis, Uncharted, etc. lol
 
It looks good for a game running at 900p/60 on the Switch. I was surprised to see so many comparing it to Xbox 360/ PS3 games. Yes, its similar when looking at specific details but 720p/30 was the target on those systems. I recently hooked my PS3 up to my TV and it was like playing Star Wing after years and being blown away more by the fact that you played it unaware that it was running at 15 fps. So many 7th gen games are 576p/20s frame rate. looks awful on modern displays even compared to Switch.
 
Where is the df analysis. Unless they know mp4 switch 2 is coming and they are ready with comparing them.

You timestamped the video too late. Here's the start of the Welcome to the Jungle section. Even with Youtube compression its very impressive.

They have just uploaded the DF Weekly. There John says this is possibly the best looking Switch game.

Something I said earlier here but was blasted for.
 
Looks fantastic.

I don't need some DF video breaking down a bunch of specific tech though, it's pleasant to look at, I don't really give a shit what's under the hood.
