Now people are gonna try to act like little town hero took zero development resources?
i can't even start to begin to dissect this nonsensical argument but i can guarantee you that little town hero's man-hours are a drop in the bucket to pokemon's man-hours. they certainly didn't gut anything because of it.
well tell that to the piles of people claiming that the reason GF gutted Pokémon was because of titles like Little town hero. Now that it isn't exactly a showstopper, it seems like people are backpedaling to downplay the resources needed to develop it. I've been saying gamefreak should have expanded their internal capacity for some time, and it fucking shows. Their games consistently are the worst looking 1st party releases from a technical level. Instead of splitting their teams up and putting them on different projects like this, they should have expanded their internal capacity greatly. Same goes for Creatures inc and the PokémonCG studio or whatever. This game looks rough and that's just solidifying my point.
Wait, this is the new Game Freak IP? I thought this was some random indie game.
Doesn't look very appealing tbh.
It's both. The game has not even a physical release, it's a small project within Game Freak.Wait, this is the new Game Freak IP? I thought this was some random indie game.
Their internal team has grown, Little Town Hero was made by a very small team as per Toby Fox's own words, and Pokémon games are often some of the best looking on their platforms (BW2, SM, even as far back as Gold and Silver) and SWSH is certainly better looking than something like Three Houses or XC2 in handheld mode. The fact Town doesn't look amazing reflects the fact it's a cheap eShop only game.well tell that to the piles of people claiming that the reason GF gutted Pokémon was because of titles like Little town hero.

Okay that makes sense. Aren't they working on another "big" IP that's not Pokemon, too?It's both. The game has not even a physical release, it's a small project within Game Freak.
I think it's a good idea to let developers do something small from time to time, not only working only on loooong projects is exhausting, but if the studio does basically Pokemon games all the time I'm sure some people would prefer to do something different even if it's smaller.
No that I know, Game Freak releases some small projects on Nintendo hardware (games like HarmoKnight or Drill Dozer) and some games on other systems (Giga Wrecker or Tembo) that are basically indie games, but nothing big outside Pokemon. We know that the core team is small, and they outsource a lot for Pokemon games (at least did for SS), so I don't think we will see something big from them in the near future.Okay that makes sense. Aren't they working on another "big" IP that's not Pokemon, too?
Stop this Nonsense. People don't expect BOTW, its impossible considering this franchise releases a new game every year. Its the Ambition.. Its just not acceptable anymore.That's because Pokemon is really the only major IP GF works on. Anything else is usually lower budget more experimental stuff that doesn't garner as much attention.
Pokemon fans on ERA are weird, man. Game Freak invented Pokemon yet so many want to snatch it away from them because they're not making a BotW equivalent Pokemon game.
People want it, not expect it. Lotta people don't expect much of GFStop this Nonsense. People don't expect BOTW, its impossible considering this franchise releases a new game every year. Its the Ambition.. Its just not acceptable anymore.
True. That's just sad. The current Reputation is their fault.People want it, not expect it. Lotta people don't expect much of GF
Speak for yourself. What entitled bs. Evidently it's acceptable when the games constantly release to critical and commercial success.Stop this Nonsense. People don't expect BOTW, its impossible considering this franchise releases a new game every year. Its the Ambition.. Its just not acceptable anymore.
10 years is too far fetched. They need time to adapt. 20 seems resonableGF have no ambition whatsoever. I guess in 10 years they will graduate from 3DS scale games?
Lol apologies. Can you imagine how their games will look in 20 years? Easy I know.10 years is too far fetched. They need time to adapt. 20 seems resonable

They need to fix their footage for directs, even Ori looked stuttery and yet it's actually solid 60fpsAtleast the framerate's decent.
The Direct footage made it look very stuttery, turned me off completely.
I can't tell if it's Gamexplain's video encoding or the game itself but there seems to be performance issues for thisAtleast the framerate's decent.

That's what I've been saying from the beginning, but people kept calling me crazy. The artstyle is weird (especially the textures that mostly clash with the cartoony style) and the colorpalette is just ugly.I really really don't like the artstyle of this. Something's off with the colors.
Basically they wanted to make a short game so that people don't have to worry about finding a lot of time to finish it, and they wanted the battle system to be very strategic instead of spamming strong attacks to finish battles quickly, while having a focused story that doesn't require large maps you get lost in.Oh there's an interview up here too
Pretty much.People want it, not expect it. Lotta people don't expect much of GF
