I'm curious if the draw distances will be improved on the game. The resolution is clearly improved, 1080p I think, as are a lot of the textures. Given the scope of the world, an improvement to draw distances would be appreciated. I have not booted up my copy of XCX on Wii U in so long. It will almost feel like a new game to me next March.

Are you talking about the distance at which enemies pop in? Because that was an impactful shortcoming whenever you drove around in a skell, having a high level enemy suddenly appear right next to you and be in grave danger.

On a sidenote, what I found curious about this reveal trailer is that it looked better when watching it on YouTube on my laptop than watching it on TV through my Switch. Usually it's the other way around.

Yeah draw distance refers to how far away enemies and terrain pop in. I just saw a Nintendo World Report video thats encouraging. It confirms the 1080p resolution and shows signs of the draw distance being potentially improved.

Original game was like 23GB. So I wonder if they compress that on Switch or use a 32GB cart.

The file size for the Switch version is 15GB.
