The way I feel is that the game never looked that good or intersting to begin with, but yes, people ARE judging the Switch based on this game. It's a sticky situation. On the one hand most people probably wouldn't be upset if the PS4 or Xbox One exclusives were using PC footage for an INDIE game because they expect that quality already on their consoles. It's unfair...BUT on the other hand it's completely reasonable. People have expectations of console power that Nintendo don't meet...so people are using it to judge the system. Makes sense. |
Everyone is talking about this game and judging it because it's the only news we have right now.
After the official Switch's reveal, everyone will forget this game and we'll just wait for further news (or lack of news). The "PC footage" part is most of all because when the first images released, a lot of people said "OMG it's beautiful, you see, the Switch will be powerful enough for graphics like this!". We still didn't have any info about the specs at the time. And now we know that the Switch likely won't be powerful enough for this, and that the game isn't even in development on the console right now, that the hype is based on almost nothing and the game might even be a vaporware. It's just a really short and wild ride around this and we have nothing else to talk about or analyze, so the debates are obviously about this game.
That's also why I talked about RIME, it's almost the same situation. A few beautiful images, a lot of hype when the game was announced, and then nothing, nothing, nothing... Until the game got dropped by Sony and appeared to be a really shady vaporware. Seasons of Heaven has the same kind of announcement, hype and then rumors than RIME, but a lot faster, so we'll see how it ends.
