Pokémon Legends: Arceus announced for Switch (Early 2022). Open World, turn-based
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
They did show combat in the follow up video. Check the OP for a screenshot.
I'm guessing this was supposed to be the big 2021 25th anniversary game, and then covid happened.
It certainly looks a lot better than the Diamond and Pearl remakes and they have a whole year to make it look even better. I love the look of the ninja lady you can play as, too.
I'm rather optimistic and, hopefully, it's the start of a whole new franchise with different games exploring what makes legendary Pokémon so, well, legendary.

How the hell does it manage to look so bad resolution wise and also suffer from extreme framerate issues? Some of those Pokemon were animating at less than 5 fps it seemed.
Looks extremely promising. I won't judge clearly early footage, not expecting much graphics wise but curious how they fill out the world/what the journey looks like.
They showed combat in the wild with four attacks.
The graphics might be rough, but everything else seems great, I'm in!
Honestly it looks like what Falcom would do if told to make an Open World pokemon game and then given their usual Ys budget
Holy shit this game was not ready to be shown, the graphics, resolution and frame rate were all ridiculously rough.
Not going to lie, getting Dynasty Warriors 9 vibes from this one.
Cool idea but they're going to need way longer than 12 months to polish this one.

They're trying but it looks pretty bad no? Like worse than Sword and Shield. It reminds me of those shitty unreal fan games that people upload to youtube.
I'll buy it on launch, obviously.

Dear lord that looks rough. And it's releasing early next year? Eesh...
By trying to make a Breath of the Wild type game, it only highlights how far behind Game Freak really is.

Dissapointed. Will have to see more updates to see what the game offers, but nothing really seems like a big step up for the series.
I'm in for Breath of the Pokemon. Ready for the formula to get disrupted in a big way. Was hoping the slow turn-based battles would be ditched for something brand new, but I'll take what I can get.
I concur with many other posters that it looks technically rough, but hoping that's b/c the game's super early/pre-alpha, etc.
People get really riled up when others say a game looks technically poor (lazy/bad dev rhetoric) but there's been a fairly undeniable performance problem with many Pokemon games since the DS/3DS, right?

Well I admit, it seems Gamefreak does have new ideas, but they really need to have someone else handle development
"Like IILC-"
Not them

Fantastic concept, but holy shit it looks bad. A complete disaster on a technical level. I really hope they can polish it a lot, but I have my doubts with Gamefreak. If you want to make game like that, you probably need another studio.
Honestly, you're right. It feels good to see them trying new shit at the very least. Hope the game gets cleaned up a bit and turns out well.
