You're brave for this OP lol
I agree 100% and still, I enjoy the artstyle Nintendo is showing most of the time.

I'd just like to see their gameplay and licences with this kind of production values.

Both games have way different scope and target hardware, but yeah, I agree that BOTW sequel is not a looker. It shines in artstyle and gameplay, but PS3-grade hardware is obviously limiting it.

IMO, I look at it same as I did Peace Walker. Hardware is limiting its visuals, but underlying game is great.

ah yes a screen grab from a youtube video, is the best way to know if a game looks good

Is this basically a "I wish Nintendo had a high end stationary console" thread? Kinda has the same energy as port begging.

And anyway if they got rid of the hybrid I'd probably be done with gaming so that would suck.

I mean the physics involved in having a battery operated device is a pretty good reason.
Physicists and scientists should feel embarassed.

How hard can it be to make a device that is the a little bigger than a Kindle have the computing power of a 8 lb personal computer?

It should also be free because I am going to just buy a Sony console anyways and make bullshit threads about other hardware manufacturers with no intention of actually buying their products.

One game runs, at its lowest, on the PS4 - which is incredibly more powerful than the switch even though the PS4 these days is POS.

How exactly should Nintendo be embarrassed?

If one thing Kena does better than a nintendo game though is its general animation pizazz - but that is it. Everything is a technical artefact of being made for much better HW IMO.

The power of this thread to trigger people is much more impressive than Kena's visuals

Whenever I see console war shit like this I just wonder how is it possible there's somebody on the other side of the keyboard writing this garbage? Whether it's a troll or you're being serious, it's just like… either way why do you have to be like this? Lol.

I don't think throwing a shit bomb into a crowd and smugly announcing you knew the reaction is the right approach.

Given how defensive Sony fans have been with their year long drought of games and scraping bottom of barrel games like getting hyped for the silent hills clone game scam, maybe OP should look into the mirror first before attempting to rile up other people.

That game looks gorgeous!!

I'm ok with a 4 year-old game made for a home/portable hybrid console that is a generation behind, though,

Kena isn't made for my 3060Ti with ray tracing and DLSS

Ember Labs should be embarassed

I think the opposite. Wind Waker HD looks like a washed version of the gamecube game. Too bright and it does not even look cell shaded anymore.
WW GCN looks too contrastless to me. just being cellshaded isn't enough, the variance between the lights and the darks should be deep, for my tastes

Lena looks greater, and way better than any game Nintendo ever made, BUT that doesn't mean you should have to compare the two. I don't really get it. Way different things

Anyone who has played BotW both on Switch and then on CEMU at high res/framerate knows how much the hardware is holding games back.

I'll take the gameplay and world design of a new Zelda title eight days a week over Kena.

I personally just want their games to run at a good iq and not have dogshit frame rates. They can't even get that right and you expect THIS? Come on man lol

My Switch is mostly a source of irritation, so I am hardly a Nintendo "shark"

but I think somebody else should be embarassed. Nintendo could have released a more graphically advanced piece of hardware (maybe not portable), they have the resources and the knowhow. They didn't because they wanted to do something else. That something else was/is very successful, why would they be embarassed about their design choices?
