Of course not. Those are N64 games with their horrible draw distances, simple models, etc. In general, games that use 2D alphamaps for characters are worse off graphically (and cheaper to make) than games that use full 3D models. Your argument "not all 3D games are better, therefore 3DS games aren't better" is equal to saying "not all smoke leads to fire, therefore there is no fire". The important thing to remember here is not all, but most do, in both cases. It goes beyond the alphamaps though. Octopath uses intentionally pixelated textures for the characters. Buildings are simple models that have been expertly textured over to give a retro feel. Don't get me wrong, I'm buying the game regardless of review scores, and am looking forward to it. I just don't think $60 is a fair price tag for something that could have been done on 3DS. |
Read what you posted I never even mentioned anything about 3DS games for a start or the argument you're babbling about but can tell you straight non of the games you mentioned are graphically better than Octopath, I've played them.
