It does look pretty bad. Why are the backgrounds black and white like that? Looks really uninspired

For those saying Metroid Dread looks bad

This guy says the majority…
Also saying something looks like a Wii/3DS game deserves a block, there is no discussion to be had there. You don’t intend to have a discussion with a troll post.
PS: Most people here are adults and can have good discussions, way to make GAF sound like a troll website because you think I will be blocking most of GAF...

I mean, Ori came last gen and looks so much better. Dread has uninspiring art direction IMO
No doubt it will be a fun game, but its not a looker by any means.

Lol wtf are you talking about?
Whatever page I Open up in this thread, its 2/3 saying it looks good and the rest saying it looks bad or not up to par with this gen.
Also why on earth is it a troll post to expect a game on a console to look better than a game on a console 2 gens ago?

I don't know about "bad" but it looks like something that could run on much older hardware like the gamecube. Whereas Prime proved the Metroid franchise could thrive with a forward thinking approach, this is a step back. Which is fine, retro 2d shooters have a place, and it is metriod's roots.

You have an issue with using reasoning skills if you have to ask me these question. But keep on trolling like a troll. If even when shown a video of the predecessor game (posted in this same thread) and then that person doubles down, then bye, you a troll!

Super Metroid is 27 years old. It still holds up well (visually) for what it is. At the time, it was fucking amazing -- nobody will say the same about Dread (either now or 27 years later).

I expected it to have more colour as a 2D Metroid game. Browns and Greys are okay for proper console games, but given that Super Metroid and Fusion both look great, I'm disappointed with Dread.

You know the Nintendo hate is strong when people make topics about how bad a game looks and others get genuinely pissed off if anyone says anything positive about it.

Seriously. I need to go re-listen to Arlo’s reaction to the Metroid Dread reveal so I can cleanse myself of all this negativity.

I mean I honestly am confused by anyone looking at this and thinking It looks good... There is alot to be said about how far an art style can take a title, and this looks like it copied its art style from the "generic Sci-Fi" category of the unity asset store.

Splatoon has a good art direction.
I don’t like that game one bit.
But the gfx work.
I just can’t get over the fact how fucking generic dread looks.
this thread getting bumped makes me just think over and over again how insane it is people defend the looks of this..
Like the hell you loved the old 2d sprite based ones??? And you are ok with this?

Imo, it doesn't look bad, it just doesn't look great with it's somewhat sterile I, Robot look to it.

Handing your ip over to a mediocre developer, yikes looks like a basic ps3 game. You know how crazy this game would look if Bethesda made it ...

Not even true, everyone praises the graphics of games like DK Returns, yoshi's crafted world, the kirby games, link's awakening, inside, and little nightmares. Keep making excuses.

I see people saying this but the suit is the only thing I like about the artstyle lol
see al the fucking parts that are legit just BLACK void ? How can you say this sheit looks good?
Talk about lazy ass design
Calling this game good looking is something special XD.
look how a fucking GBA game took some time to fill in the blank spaces in the platforms.
the FUCK is this SHIT?? XD
Yeah look at all the parts where it zooms in for the cutscenes, that shit looks like an unlit viewport in blender.

Let's just hope MP4 turns out completely different. If not, then I fear we won't see or hear anything metroid for another decade

Looks a little sterile but I can't say it looks "bad."

Yeah, but I've yet to see someone say "this game could look like DKC Tropical Freeze." It's always Ori, Hollow Knight, Rayman, or any number of super stylized 2D games.
I'm not really making excuses, either. Just making an observation.

It gets compared specifically with Ori and Hollow Knight because they're metroidvanias. Fans of this genres usually expect a higher level of art design, more than platformers like Mario and DKC (Rayman is the exception).
(I still think Dread looks okay)
