Its not a stretch for consumers to expect atleast mid-gen PS3 level of graphics from a $40 or $60 game on a $300 console. Indie games on smartphones these days have better graphics. I'm not a graphics whore but this level of graphics is just absolutely terrible and its unbelievable that fans choose to completely ignore it for any reason.


My "fanboyism" isn't the reason for me not focusing on the graphics, it's more my overall mindset and expectations from a game. Nintendo has a reason for keeping the graphics low and I am ready to say, that they maybe could have chosen another way to get around it, but I am more happy to see, that they are focusing on framerate and gameplay, instead of the aesthetics.

This whole thing reminds me a bit of F-Zero X, which sacrified graphics for a constant 60 fps. It also looked like shit, but it is still (for me atleast) one of the most kickass racing games. I'm not saying that you are wrong about expecting more from a current gen game, because you a right in that regard, it's more that I am stunned that everything everyone talks about when talking about Star Fox Zero is the graphics.

I never called you fanboyish, I said fan, big difference. And yes, framerate and gameplay matters, but so does graphics. The Wii U can handle 60fps with much better graphics as shown by Bayonetta 2. And Star Foz Zero isn't anywhere near that level of graphics. This is an absoutely lazy attempt at making a Star Foz game and fans like you are the reason they think they can get away with it.

No one would have complained if it even looked decent cause we don't expect great graphics in Wii U games, but this worse than some 2007 PS3 games like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and MotorStorm or 360 games like Halo 3. This shold nt be defended by anyone, this would only promote more lazy overpriced games from Nintendo. They still have time to improve the graphics so I'll wait but right now it doesn't look worth buying for me.
