DP remake looking so much better. I'm really confused by the mish mashed aesthetic though. The in battle character designs really don't gel well with the cutesy chibi look. Bizarre decision but it's looking much better. I'm sure both teams are working very hard and I'm looking forward to both.

I don't understand how this is even possible when other Nintendo games look decent enough to withstand. Not happy with that.

BotW was made in house with nintendo giving it 100% attention. The game still looks like one of the best switch games out there (aside from maybe odyssey)
gamefreak =/= nintendo. Theyre known for cutting corners and they clearly havent settled on 3d models very well (though the remakes dont look too bad but theyre also a lot more limited with what they can do so they better look good)

It literally does.
It's not only the ugly visuals, the art direction is also all over the place. The ugly and basic environments don't mesh too well with the cartoony Pokemon, it literally looks like someone bought the cheapest environment assets on the unity store and then threw some pokemon models in there.
Look at a proper game Like Dragons Dogma running on the exact same hardware:
Not only are the visuals nicer and environments more interesting, there's also much greater visual cohesion in the art direction

Gameplay in Legends Arceus looks like a lot of fun. Didn't expect you'd be able to catch pokemon mid-mount and looks like you can do entire battles with just your trainer?
Been playing D/P in prep for the remakes. I've already gotten use to the style, so just looking forward to playing a new version in a couple months.

I love BotW but it’s really not that great looking compared to the likes of Mario Odyssey, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Mario Rabbids, ARMS and third party ports like Witcher 3 and the DOOM games. Even Fortnite is impressive considering World size and player count.
BotW was a WiiU game ported to Switch with a resolution boost and more stable framerate. BotW 2 should look much better because it was built from the ground up for Switch which has a much better CPU, an extra 1GB ram and a more powerful / more modern GPU.

Arceus does look like a last gen game, but honestly, I don't play Pokemon for graphical fidelity lol
The Japanese aesthetic, open world and new features are enough to have me interested. Might be day 1, might not. Will wait for impressions closer to launch.

I'm not old and I wasn't whining.
I'm excited for both games!

Id say it looks fantastic for its aesthetic especially when using hd emulators. Most of the games in your selection looke good too but i find them less impressice as theyre more linear unlike botw which is a massive open world sandbox (barring odyssey and witcher 3, though witcher 3 looks blurry at times and is a considerable drop in resolution to botw)

I'm baffled, are these re-used textures from a 3DS game or are they making new incredibly low-resolution textures for this game? It's not even an art-style thing, they are all stretched before the shaders are even applied.
For comparison here is half-life 1 running at a similar resolution, remember this is a 23 year old game:

Nintendo should just say fuck it and go back to the 16bit era. You know you want this.

Technical leaps and bounds? Gamefreak known for that?!
Only Hal laboratory and genius sonority gave a rats about pushing technical stuff.

If this game was only bought by children then it probably wouldn't have good sales.
This game series is probably bought more by adults who grew up with pokemon, then the current generation of children.

BotW is definitely stunning at 4K (or anything above 1080p with good as) on an emulator. It’s dynamic 900p on Switch when docked though. Saying that even at 4K on PC it’s textures are poor and the low lod and foliage density definitely stand out showing it’s WiiU origins. It will be a prime candidate for a Switch 2 patch or rerelease in a few years that’s for sure.

Its so funny to me that this is the highest grossing franchise in existence, but their trailers look like they are made within a few hours by the kid of someone who works in the company. Honestly, I would almost say that my first "Trailers" that I cut back when I was 15 look better than this.
Its so sterile and undynamic. The Sound fx is way too loud and does not fit at all, its not even timed correctly.
That shouldnt say anything about the game though, its just funny how they dont even bother spending money on these things because they know people will buy it anyway.

The Wii game also profits off being chopped up into small zones. Arceus is open world afaik.well it's pretty close except for the resolution

Pokemon is a billion dollar franchise, why in the hell are they still putting out games that look worse than your average Xbox 360 game?
It's because people keep buying their games anyway, isn't it?

Man the 360 produced some brilliant graphics. Legends Arceus does legitimately look like a halfway house between OG Xbox and 360 graphics. The texture work is just bad on Arceus, pop in issues, stiff movement. They have over 20 years under their belt, I don’t know how it can look so basic compared to 360 games.

Looking much better but I’m not crazy about the look of that combat.

Sales is a pretty common argument for the white knights you know.
