No kidding. At least give 7 skin options like splatoon does or a slider.Why are there are only four skin tones for the player character? It's been the same thing since Sun and Moon. Why arent there more options?
Is this supposed to be as ambitious as Game Freak can get? Do they realise that there's more variance in skin tone than this?
LOL WTF?! Game Freak owns and created Pokemon. The Pokemon Company was formed so they can manage the IP. TCP is made up of Nintendo, GF, and Creatures inc., all copyright holders to Pokemon.
There are a lot of people who got into Pokemon through the multi-media aspects.
Better graphics and resolution and frame rates and higher specs require additional time. I'd much rather have these games come out quicker and look like this instead of 5 years longer and looking like Witcher 3. You have three other systems that favor graphics over dev time. You don't need another.
Or they could do what other devs do, and just hire more staff. But that would hurt the profit margins of their billion dollar franchise!
More staff doesn't mean better looking games, especially if the existing staff doesn't have experience in HD development. They're getting help from Nintendo and they outsource already, but they need to learn HD development themselves first and foremost.
Hire staff with experience in HD development. Get Nintendo involved to try and ease them through the process. Developers first struggled with HD development over a decade ago. This should not have been a surprise to them. They failed to plan for this properly - or just think that what they're doing is good enough.
This is their first 3D HD game. Let's Go started development afterwards.
As far as I'm concerned - if they were getting adequate help, then it wouldn't look this way. And by that I don't just mean in the polygons and textures sense - it's their world design in particular that is genuinely ass. I mean their big reveal for this game (and seemingly a response to fans hoping for a more open Pokemon game) is to have just a big empty open section that isn't too far removed from Twilight Princess's Hyrule Field. The individual routes look just as corridor-like as Sun and Moon.
Let's not act like even BOTW is devoid of big empty areas. That's a common criticism of the game. I'll wait until I can play the game to judge the level design, the Wild area also has tighter areas within itself as is obvious from the map.
Breath of the Wild is an actual open-world game, though. It's a massive environment, and the negative space only serves to highlight actual points of interest.
The Wild Area feels like a natural environment in which Pokémon can actually live, and it's designed more organically than the rest of the game. I think it's clear what the appeal is. Everyone was really happy when it was shown, it seems once again unnecessary to downplay it just because of the Dex controversy.
Stop trivializing abuse. Calling out a multimillion company is not fucking abuse.
Oh spare me the lecture. I have seen actual abuse both here and on Twitter especially. You're not being smart or original by trying to paint others as corporate apologists.
Dev time would so so much more than just make the graphics pretty. They could add tons of worthwhile content as well. It's not like the other 90 Pokémon games that play identically are going anywhere while we wait.
Here? Where? Show it. I've seen mean comments and some Lazy Dev Rhetoric, not any abuse.
There's one post here that made me laugh that said it looks like a budget PS Vita hentai game
Examples? Maybe your bar for "abuse" is different than the one for the rest of us. I still yet to see someone saying they are going to kill Masuda mom.
also Id like hard mode, new game+, etc, multiple game save files would be nice as well.
I didn't knew Joe worked for GameFreak? We are talking about the devs not regular users
I've seen the "you want them to change genres completely!" posts before and they're usually just depressing to read.
I'm sure that exists on twitter, but what about here? People here have posted abusive messages to nintendo employees?
That looks an awfully lot like a twitter screenshot. And a pretty mean comment! But. I mean. Abuse? Someone being mean to you isn't abuse. The homophonic apple i swear to god homophobic is a word one sounds pretty bad though. Was that here?
I also have another one full of homophobic language, but that's just after a cursory search.
Yeah, mostly from something user Aleh said a few posts up.
HD game made by Ambrella which seems to work within TPC so I imagine close to gamefreak.
And in the other hand the fans have called people manchildren, entitled, inmature, bigots(lol) and other things for daring to gasp! cancel their own pre-orders.
