That guy said GameFreak is making the models from scratch when we already know that isn't true though. He didn't have anything useful to contribute to the discussion at all.
The textures are being hyper-criticized because of the Pokemon-culling. It sounds like development is a mess at GameFreak if they had to cut half of their roster to rush to fix textures in the last few months of development.
If the model and texture isnt hi res enough itll look terrible and or cause lighting issues, shader issues etc
Since its a new feature it comes with its own problems that you wouldn't have accounted for when you built the old character model
Not saying what issues in particular it may or may not have caused, just outlining some fairly common stuff. Every game is its own wonderful den of "I cant believe that one seemingly small thing is fucking us over right now" I worked on a game not long ago where getting floor tiles with tilable textures to work to barely shippable standards was months of work.
Digital Foundry said Xenoblade 2 is a step up over X in every way.every,single,way :^PXenoblade 2 isn't a great showcase, I feel.
It was a rushed and heavily outsourced year one switch title.
Here's what the main Monolith Soft team did as their first HD game on Wii U
Oh so now we attack developers, not surprised coming from you though.
Perhaps they like to operate very efficiently to ensure a bigger return on investment? I don't know, I'm not part of the company - anything anyone offers as reason for this is pure speculation.
I think they aren't doing too badly considering their size. I have been frustrated by what I would call lack of innovation in the past, but I have come to realise it's just not their vision for the game, so there's no point wasting my time being frustrated. I'll enjoy what they put out, I don't think it'll be as great as it could be to suit my tastes, but my tastes aren't everyone's.
I mean considering the anime's current dub is...questionable, would you rather have bad voice acting/direction or no voice acting at all?
Yeah, it's here in the rules now, I believe saying anything about the quality of the Pokemon games automatically classifies as outrage, hating, negative circlejerk and dev abuse. Please take notice.
Calm down, not everything is an attack.
Geez, how anxious are people to defend gamefreak.
So what is saying that a developer is wrong and doesnt know what he is talking about ?
Graphics from E3 trailers generally look better than the final product, are you saying the final thing will look worse?
Is infuriating when people tell us to not complain when we couldn't complain about the 3DS games performance because future proofing models(which was true back then) and the lack of pokemons on Let's Go because "It isn't a mainline game. You will get your game next year".
In the end the high poly models were for nothing and our fears about Let's Go were legit.

I'd say they're more failing sideways.
Pokemon has been stagnant for a while, both with the games themselves and sales figures. They haven't dropped per se, but after Gold/SIlver, each mainline entry has sold roughly the same amount (around half of what Red/Blue sold). I think that speaks more of the foundations of what makes Pokemon such a great concept rather than the games themselves.
Okay, thanks for the insight. So even though Creatures created these models to be futureproofed, there can always be an issue with the system, engine, or new features that can make that futureproofing less than perfect.
I'm seriously tapping my foot with my hands on my hips, and will be until I buy this game day one
They were defending another user on this forum. Maybe you should calm down and think before you post.
God Bless Capcom for not making the same mistake Game Freak did
Sure our fanbases are pretty distinct but I cant help but spot the parallels
Series that was stuck in its ways and portable focused for damn near a decade with tiny iterations and the fanbase arguing with itself over what the series should or shouldn't do... and part of us splitting off and fighting over the series advancing, jumping to console, moving to HD while the other side rebuffed hard and clung to "what always worked"
Then the megaton bomb that was Monster Hunter World dropped.....
Part of me is quite sad that you guys aren't getting that moment with Sword and Shield... despite it looking modestly good considering the resources available to Game Freak.
I wish I knew what was holding them back. My guess would be time. For as fast as this was put together its not too shabby looking. Do we know when they started?

NOPE!at least they are doing better than the Fire Emblem team 👀 more effort
Three Houses might not look impressive in terms of graphics or artstyle but it's definitely a step forward for the franchise in terms of story, mechanics and overall gameplay, the sheer amount of content it has is amazing.
Saying an EA developer is wrong about what is going on at GameFreak when we have evidence of him being wrong is not attacking. We know they aren't making all of the models from scratch. Why are we going to pretend it's true?
User warned: lazy devs rhetoric
It looks like an uprressed 3DS game to me. Seems like kind of a lazy effort on the part of gamefreak, especially when they're cutting Pokemon and trying to sell this for $60.
Yeah, telling the developer that he doesnt know what he is talking about is not an attack. Yes
Yes, Nintendo helps in the development of Pokemon games, we already saw an improvement in the games from past showings.
i will take your word for it, i just ser screenshoots and can't help to think even the Warrior game looks better at times
Yeah, Three Houses is by far the most ambitious Fire Emblem ever made. Three branching story paths, multiple endings, super customizable units, the wide variety of new battlefield mechanics. It's pretty great
Har har har
I actually quite enjoy all the ports we have thank you very much.
Playing Generations, RE Revelation 1+2, and Dragons Dogma has been wonderful on switch
Now back on topic!
Pokemon is consistently good, I wouldn't say they are top tier by any stretch. The simplicity of the mechanics is what made me move on to other games but maybe im just asking for something that Pokemon is not.
Pokémon is a top tier multiplayer competitive turn based JRPG!
And the only one
And I agree. Ultimately, this is a business decision. Small teams have small budgets. It'd be better if they spent more, but the evidence isn't there to confirm sales would increase.
But just as I'd roast a developer for adding loot boxes to boost profits, I roast TPC & GF for keeping costs down to do the same.
Well they're wrong.
Maybe better image quality while docked but it was also a more impressive open world with no load screens between areas.
XC2 had more advanced rendering and a more cohesive artstyle in terms of characters tho
The evidence is widely available, if you choose to stick your head in the ground, that's on you.
You know nothing either, so Im going to side with someone that at least works in the industry, and not with someone who say that some people are the worst that has happened to the community.
The models are not made from scratch so that's wrong.
If they some how were privy to that information, it would still be weird that GameFreak remade models from scratch to look nearly identical to how they used to.
Maybe animations from scratch...or maybe they were using the term "from scratch" incorrectly, dunno
That's fine. If you want to pretend GameFreak is making all the Pokémon models from scratch, you can. It will get you a weird side-eye from lots of people though btw.
