bleh it honestly looks like a suped up gamecube game

[Hiro]

it really doesn't, everyone has been saying tons of games look like ps2/gamecube games, even on ps4 and xbone, but i think people seriously forgot what those systems were really capable of
honestly just very few games are visually impressive these days

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i mean that original comparison image is obviously biased and exaggerated but the game is clearly rushed, it's still using star fox 64 assets for doodthing's sake

and it uses mostly flat, lifeless, single-color textures lol

it still looks like a tech demo, and that would be fine if it still were but this is a game five months from launch at this point

it may not literally look like a gamecube game but it sure does look like a gamecube game running on dolphin in 1080p

look at the amount of detail to be seen in that horizon screenshot, even the blurry compressed stream screen looks so much more vivid than the crisp star fox promo image below it lol

of course there's absolutely no point in comparing wii u games to ps4 games but even compared to other wii u games it's unimpressive

perhaps nintendo deemed graphical fidelity to be not of the utmost importance because we'd be spending most of our time flying right by most of the scenery anyway

honestly just very few games are visually impressive these days

and i would disagree with this

[ME##]

Tec, I could understand that last point if Star Fox moved fast.  But it seems slow as molasses


And I def agree w/ Tec disagreeing w/ Hiro

[Kalahari Inkantation]

yeah that's the other thing

meaning they have no legitimate excuses for the way it looks, aside from their dire need to pump something out as quickly as possible to pad that hyperanemic holiday lineup and patch the still flaming crater left by zelda u

[Kalahari Inkantation]

perhaps the most entertaining thing about this year's e3 has been skimming through the various nintendo communities and just basking in all the thunderous rage, lol

nintendo has somehow managed to infuriate the fans of

-animal crossing
-paper mario
-metroid
-zelda
-fire emblem
-star fox
-the wii u in general

some more so than others, but all in a single showing

that takes talent

[Thyme]

overall the FO4 showing was my favorite

totes pumped

Thyme's pumping status: Pumped dry

At least Tri Force Heroes looks good, but of course people who expected Zelda U (despite Nintendo saying beforehand it's delayed until at least 2016) were in for disappointment

What did they do to infuriate Fire Emblem fans? Fates looks good. Maybe the "crossover" in Genei Ibun Roku is not nearly FE enough?

At least, making Paper Mario into just another character in an M&L game is more likely to result in an actually good game than the kind of butchering Nintendo has shown they can do to Paper Mario proper with Sticker Star. Of course, that doesn't quite redeem the fact that Paper Mario (64 and TTYD) is the more interesting Mario RPG series despite having no new games for over a decade.

[Nyerp]

both the new zelda and mario & luigi games look like frankenstein's monsters of lazily recycled assets

mostly the crossover (which both fe and smt fans seem to regard with pure disgust), but i've also seen a fair amount of disapproval over the amount of general fanservice and waifu pandering in fates

i'm pretty unenthused about tri force heroes, i can't imagine the game having much depth [glow=black,2,300]and i also have no friends[/glow]

[Kalahari Inkantation]

anyway now that the festivities are over i can say with absolute certainty that despite nintendo's sincere attempts to sabotage it, this was the best e3 we've had in over a decade lol

[Samus Aran]

which just goes to show how low the bar really was

idk i'd say 2009 was better lol
