It doesn't seem like it will be the biggest deal in the world, and I doubt the resolutions will hit lows as often as in Xenoblade 2, but a decent amount of the textures are apparently still low res. In 2010-2012 at least a decent chunk of Xenoblade's playerbase were gaming on CRTs, I know I was. This is probably the worst version in terms of resolution to pixel ratio possible. Will it be the best looking version? Yes. Do I think games tend to look noticeably worse at 720p or less, even on a system like the Nintendo Switch? Honestly, yes. |
I find it funny that one of the games they keep getting compared to for optimisation, is Breath of the Wild-- a game they had to devote resources to help develop.
I'm not sure why it's suddenly imperative to criticise them for two games (not including Torna) released in the first 3 years of a system's life, both with short dev cycles, both likely on short notice, but I just hope you all remember your criticisms for Monolith going forward.
Whenever Monolith release their new long term project, and whatever state it releases in, I just hope you're all keeping this same energy.
