Everything else looks amazing, but those faces.

Yeah I really hate those faces.  I hope you can design your own character that will look much better.  Is that likely?



Playing Xenoblade 2 before I buy Xenoblade 3 (otherwise I couldn't wait to play 3).

Can they announce a new Fire Emblem? A remake of Genealogy or Tellius would suffice !

You wont look after faces during the game, you will face monsters.

It's clear that this isn't running at anything above 30fps. The video might be in 60 fps, but the game's framerate is pretty obviously 30fps. It even struggles to keep that rate during the panning sequence near the beginning of the trailer.

Sorry if your eyes are deceiving you.

XBX looks best when it portrays alien fauna and flora, much better than the realistic stuff. :p

I'm starting to lose hope that they'll ever fix those faces.

Ever watched Xenoblade Chronicles? Honestly, people should have expected this from the beginning, considering this is Monolith we are talking about. It's not like they "need to fix" the faces, in the end ofthe day it's just their artistic design.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

People, stop whining about the faces. It's just an art-style. The first Xenoblade is a masterpiece...muddy, murky faces and all. You spend 90% of the time staring at your character's back, or at least at a distance where the face won't be very noticeable.

It's enough if you see the faces just once. That image will burn into your brain for the rest of the game.

I can't help it, these kind of doll faces just give me the creeps.

30fps footage looks smoother on the 60fps setting than it does on the default (haven't a clue why though). That would explain why it looks smoother, but nothing like actual 60fps.

To be honest it doesn't look like 1080p either. It could simply be a case of someone over at Nintendo being a tad overzealous on the video compression, but it looks like 720p to me.

The character models are great, the faces problem is more due to artstyle but I think their hair is the problematic area.

Its anime faces! What do you want?! wrinkled up old realistic men? That may be detailed but its not really nice to look at.

 

On topic... oh noes! It wont be cinematic now! Next-gen logic. :P

I'm thrilled to see Nintendo embrace the real evolution where it counts. The gameplay. Not that the graphics are anything short of impressive.

the panning and monster movements look pretty fluid, might really render in 60, which would be very impressive considering the scale of the game

other than that the quality of the graphics didn't seem as high as I remembered them from earlier footage, maybe my memory is tricking me there though
