Looks the same, which is terrible news. I can't believe they'll release a game so weak technically. I mean, Nintendo at least usually produces decent-looking games (like Pikmin 3), some even great looking (like MK8). This one is just a shame, not matter how you look at it.

EDIT: It's embarassing watching people defending its graphics saying that it's because of 60fps. Really? Fast Neo Racing is 60fps too, but it looks 10000000x times better... and it's from an indie studio. There's no excuse, get real, gee!


This. So much this.



During the E3 Digital Event, they showed a trailer made several months before. The actual game available for tests in the E3 floor had much better visuals than the trailer.

We can expect that the game will improve in some way the graphics when they polish it more.

It would be wise that people stop pretending that from one build to another it will have suddenly Witcher 3 graphics because that wont happen.

The game will have better graphics than now but still ugly graphics.

Still looks horrible


It doesn't look horrible, just uninspired.

 

What makes me not want the game, and makes me very disappointed in them, is that they couldn't even be bothered to really give us a FULL BLOWN new game. Instead, they basically give us "Star Fox 64 Remixed", with better visuals. It might be kinda fun to play. But it's still lazy, at the end of the day, as far as everything I've seen, and that's just disappointing.

People are far too focused on visuals these days... It's looks more than adequate to me. What I'm concerned with is the gameplay, and given it looks like a similar rail shooter to past star fox games I'm rather excited.

Get a better TV then ;) looks great in 480p via the component cable on a decent Panasonic plasma.


Plasma? Try an LED. It looks terrible. Any game of that era does since the aspect ratio was not meant for modern TVs. Everything looks stretched and awful.


Just an FYI, Plasma has more image clarity than LED. The benefit of LED is brightness and energy consumption, not clarity, where Plasma is better.

It will do on an LCD (not really LED, it's just an LED backlight,) they scale apallingly, particularly cheaper lower end ones. The aspect ratio you can fix yourself though, you just change the TV to 4:3. You can't do anything about how ugly mismatched resolutions are on an LCD TV though.

It'll be interesting to see what OLED will do for this. Panasonic have fixed a lot of the problems the LG ones had and will be releasing those onto the market later this year (though they'll initially be like $6000).

Best way to play retro games at the moment though (and probably always will be) is a nice CRT TV/Monitor. But the higher end Plasma units do a decent job too. It's a shame they stopped making them because market forces said size and price were the priority over quality. :(

4K not being viable on them was the final nail.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

lmao it looks like an iPhone game

 

that's a shame, MK 8 is really gorgeous

Agreed 100%

Its a shame that the market went towards the LEDs instead of the better technology for picture quality in Plasma TVs.

Im comparing LEDs with Plasmas, OLEDs are better than both of them, but EXPENSIVE.
