What is it about Zelda that rots people's minds and blinds them? Fine, you can like how it plays. But it doesn't look stunning.

>>637600640>impressionism>RenaissanceGet a load of this retard.

>>637601274Totk is currently the single best reviewed to ever exist. It runs at 900p at 30 frames. We are in a thread about its visual aesthetic. The “art direction” of botw and now totk was specifically inspired by the Japanese term “gutto kuru”, which means to “stir the soul”. Knowing it was designed for the underpowered Wii U, with a target of 720p and 30 frames, his was accomplished by an effective consideration of complimentary colours, three line perspective, horizon lines, with acknowledgment to Japanese history of the Jōmon art period. Much like the renaissance artists of impressionist paintings. I feel botw and totk are specifically comparable to renaissance art BECAUSE it is specifically inspired by renaissance art. Hence this very thread, faggot. Again, I ask, u mad?

>>637600215>960p to 1080p upscalingdoesn't it run at 900p docked? genuine question, i have no clue i thought it was the same as BOTW if they actually upped the resolution, good on them

Ultimately - game is incredibly funGraphics being important is 100% a aaa meme, some of the best games have "shit graphics" BUT if the only hardware (legally) the game is available on can't run the game at at least 30fps steady you fucked up and it's a piece of shit.I'm playing TotK on ryujinx and it's incredibly fun but my PC is mid as fuck so my fps is dog shit.

>>637602383It's almost impressive that tendies can make this kind of bullshit up on the fly like this

>>637599019Tendies are mentally ill. You can preface that you enjoy a Nintendo game and praise the shit out of it, but the second you point out a single flaw their brains shut off and they either go into bootlicking mode or they start crying about the snoys that live rent free inside their heads.

>>637602383>It's actually impressive that the game looks like dogshit because Nintendo's hardware is underpoweredJesus Christ

>>637602886It’s all specifically stated by the game’s art director during his GDC commencement speech. again, I ask, u mad? nintendowire.com/news/2017/03/01/breath-wild-presentation-gdc-showcases-development-ideology-weird-early-concepts/

>>637602886he's not wrong you know, the game really does run at 900p AND 30fps! and they probably ripped off some paintings too

>>637603228>entire "argument" was copy pastedKEK

>>637599019>xenoblade DE pfp>game doesn't even run in a solid 720p dockedOf course he thinks it looks beautiful, he's used to looking at smudgy messes

>>637603129This is a foreign concept for Holla Forumstards but artists enjoy working within limits to define their product Again I’ll state, do graphic whores get angry when impressionist paintings aren’t photo realistic photographs?

>>637603335It’s not an argument. Complimentary colours exist user. Or is this news for you? Or are u mad?

Graphics shouldn't determine if a game is good or not, but if it does have bad graphics it should be made fun of because of it.

>>637601765It looks bad on purpose!!!

>>637599019Nintendo fans have no standards, they're only accustomed to playing Nintendo's shit and will vehemently defend it when possible and delude themselves to the heavens. These fucking idiots bought Nintendo branded cardboard, for fucks sake.

>>637602546Ryu looks better, but if you want the performance then Yuzu is faster for most hardware. The ugly white haze filter that Nintendo put over everything seems to be worse on Yuzu, but the tradeoff is I'm running 60 fps in most places with temporary drops to 45 in demanding areas. I'm guessing my same setup would be 30-45 fps in Ryu, but the colors and shadows look much better there in my opinion.

Nintendo fanboys don't go outside, seeing the sun must be like magic for them.

>>637600050>Reee mah graphics mah graphics>FPS is not 60 on a handheld!!! OH NOEZ lol fucking based Nintendies. They know whats up. All that matters is the fucking Art Direction and the GAMEPLAY.

>>637602481>doesn't it run at 900p docked?it doesthis shit is 900p docked max + FSR

I thought graphics and story didn't matter for games? What changed Holla Forums?

>>637603592>>637602546Ryujinx i would recommend as well, Yuzu is not far behind though they do seem to have a lot of updates coming out this month to fix a ton of issues. But i do agree Graphics is not everything.

>>637600218I like when Ninteniggas do this cope as if they're aren't tons of stylized games that look 100x better and less ass than Nintendo stuff. Hi-FI Rush being a recent example.

Attached: Rush.png (847x479, 616.07K)

>>637604239Is Hi-Fi Rush open world? If not then it makes sense why it would look better.

>>637604156No doubt, just play it on emulator then and if you would like to just pay for the physical version to show support if you liked the game. It's what some people do on here.

>>637599019fanboys are clowns, this is how it always istotk looks like absolute horseshit, which is not surprising because it's running on a 6 year old console that was already severely out of date at the time of its release. its not about "art style", the art style is minimalist and bland but sure its fine, but you can tell from the shit fucking textures and foliage, and fps it struggles to maintain even with that low low bar of graphical fidelity, that the game fundamentally looks like shit

>>637604212I think they compliment each other

>>637603868kek

My lazy coworker I don’t like was playing Zelda instead of doing her job and might lose her job now. Might buy the game if they get rid of her.

>>637599250Look worse than Horizon Forbidden West, is "amazing" a different tier that only applies to other switch games?

>>637599332I too have not bought a new console since the Wii U.

Shit looks worse than Mario Odyssey, idk why people praise its graphics, it looks like trash. It runs like trash, too.

>>637604698What's the job?

>>637600050>it's playable, stop criticizing it!I didn't know the sonic heroes devteam was running defense for Totk

>>637600050Do tendies really?

>>637603440If ANY other game released this year and looked like Totk you would decry it as looking like shit, you tendie drone.

>>637604359What about Genshin Impact? That's open world, much bigger than BOTW at this point.

>>637605085At least sonic heroes is consistently 60 fps on a gamecube

>>637605036Like I’m going to say. But I play vidya all the time too, I just haven’t been caught by anyone who gave a shit.

>>637604159Same with yakuza games and persona. Yakuza has alot of cutscenes that you shouldn't skip if you want to experience the game and characters the right way. Persona 5 is the longest game in history.Jrpgs generally have alot of dialog and story to them.That's why I find the sony hate weird. They do mistakes here and there but their games arent really much more movie than your average jrpg or kojima game.

>>637604924Every Switch game looks like ass except the stuff that's small and super-stylized like Mario Kart and Animal Crossing. Smash too since basically nothing but the stage platforms and character models are being rendered. Bayonetta 3 looks and sometimes run like garbage, Xenoblade 2 and 3 looks terrible and drops to 540p with low-quality textures, Fire Emblem Three Houses looks early PS3, Mario Odyseey looks like ass in some worlds but okay in others, and more.

>>637605235If it were released exclusively on a ten year old tablet, I wouldn’t. Because the consumer purchased said tablet knowing full well its limitations. These limitations are also called “medium”. Which is another new concept for you. And you’re welcome for the education. I don’t expect one piece of art work, on one medium, to be better or worse than another piece of artwork on another medium. Because the medium defines the art. Any disagreement, any objection to this statement of fact, reaching far beyond the shitpool of Holla Forums, into the pantheon of history of art, is to assert video games are not art. You may say video games are not art. You are entitled to say so. But if video games are not art, then your opinion on their medium, their performance and visual aesthetic, are irrelevant. You would then be, a legitimate and unironic, NPC.

>>637599332Looks slightly better than a ps2 game.

>>637605815>high minded rhetoricIf you think any of the shit you just posted is "high minded" you have an incredibly low bar and aren't nearly as smart as you think you are, which is often true for "people" who try to posture online the way you're doing.

>>637603613funny since the art direction and gameplay are both dogshit

I think it looks pretty good other than being too low resolution, the 30 fps doesn't even bother me. And I normally play games with a 3090 on a 4k 120hz. I think the art style and direction is what makes it look so good

>>637605846Tendies have accept their hardware is shit since the first gameboy used a cpu from the 1970s. but you can play link’s awakening on it, which is still unironically better than horizon whatever dawn, or god of bore, or gaylo, or call of poopy

You can’t like how it plays either. The game is shit but has the Nintendo seal, all they care about.

>>637605521So you're admitting that you are forcefully lowering your standards for this game? Yet at the same time you're directly considering it comparable to higher quality/standardized works.And nintendofags claim to not be bias, lol.

>>637605939Well you’re welcome to refute the existence of medium in art without becoming a NPC and being triggered in to your dialogue branch by line spaces But you can’t Because your dialogue branch hasn’t been updated yet. you’re still in beta

>>637605846I'm in the camp that graphics don't mean anything. If the game runs well, it can look like an 8 bit indie game for all I care. Hell, that's why I think Terraria completely mogs every Zelda game ever made. The thing is that Terraria at least runs at 60 FPS, while TOTK struggles to even keep 30.One of these games gladly discarded graphics to ensure proper optimization, while the other was lazy and just wanted le heckin epic 3d graphics.

>>637606118>Well you're welcome to let me derail the thread with an entirely different discussion so we don't have to talk about how TotK looks like dogshitI bet you'd love that, tendie wendie.

>>637599019Name one thing that’s bad about it visually that isn’t resolution or polygon count

>>637605521>If it were released exclusively on a ten year old tabletAnd who's fault is that? Nintendo's fault. They weren't forced to make a shitty outdated tablet. They chose to. You don't praise someone for deliberately making something shit and praise them for being able to make something on said shit thing.

is that a sunset... aaaa im stunned...

>>637599019It looks great to me.

>>637606116If by “standards” you mean the “medium” then yes. I accept all art in all medium. I don’t go the louvre and demand they repaint the Mona Lisa because the canvas is too small. You might though. again, all this only matters, if video games are art? Are they art? You’ll likely say no to simply continue Internet Arguing (TM). But the rules and structure governing art extend far beyond this blue board. Hence this thread. Hence Totk’s reviews. Hence your seethe.

No one sane would hold both of those up to the same standards.

I don't even understand how this could be a controversial statement.I grew up with Zelda games, so sure I can understand some people have some emotional attachment to the series but Nintendo kept dumbing them down and watering down, because their main audience is literal children. It's not a bad thing, but it is what it is.Souls is the version of Zelda that grew into an adult instead of remaining in perpetual childhood. It captures the feeling I felt as a kid but evolved alongside my own adulthood. Zelda 1 or 3 when you were a kid playing on the NES or SNES, at the time, felt like this mysterious and dangerous fantasy world. Souls replicates that.But gaming has evolved a lot in 30 years. It went from a children electronic toy to a mature adult hobby. Players have higher standards and expectations.From has successfully raised the bar for extremely challenging gameplay, complex level design, immersive atmosphere and masterful art direction. They are very sophisticated experiences with subtle nuances and profound meaning. Gaming has become true Art thanks to studios like From Software and geniuses like Hidetaka Miyazaki.Newer Zelda games by comparison are just toy-like, cartoonish, simplistic. They're kids games.Again, not a bad thing, that's Nintendo's brand. Miyamoto is a very talented children's toy creator. As a father, my kid is gonna be old enough to play these games soon and I'll be happy to play BOTW or a TOTK with him. It's like watching a Pixar or Ghibli movie, it's quality family entertainment, it's for children with underdeveloped tastes and minds. But when I'm on my own, I'm not watching a cartoon or playing Nintendo games. I'm watching the filmography of Andrei Tarkovsky or playing Elden Ring. Because I'm an adult with a developed sense of taste and intellect.What's bizarre of how aggressive Nintendo fans get when you simply point out this reality that they have the underdeveloped minds and sensibilities of literal child.

Just your annual reminder that every company that switched to the "4k massively immersive open world with photo realistic graphics" model hasn't released a game in 10 years.

>>637607534NPCs can only speak in prescripted dialogue branches when triggered by a player action. On chan, and Holla Forums, this player action is hitting the enter key to make a line break. The NPC reacts with said dialogue branch. They can only speak with prescripted dialogue cues until they receive an update. Which you have not.

>>637607919What's your point? My point is that releasing games with "up to date graphics" is unsustainable and if it continues at the rate it is heading the next Elder Scrolls game after 6 won't come out until you're dead.

There is an unfathomable difference between what Zelda as a game is like, and what its fans online say it is. To a much bigger degree than I've seen with any other game.Nintendo's advertising for it is really good. They maintain their brand and public image extremely well.
