Surprisingly, they all pretty much look the same through my 720p laptop screen.

Edit: the improvements I would really want from BoTW are not really fixable by way of resolution bump. Sure 4k downsampling is very decent AA, but I want better draw distance (over the Switch version that is), higher res textures, better and more frequent bump mapping (especially in rocky areas or transitional areas between grass and rock) and better geometry/higher poly count. Also better lighting in some situations and more, as well as more varied foliage.

I love the aesthetic of the game and would not want it touched, but in a perfect world it would look like that first E3 trailer that we saw. It's still a beautiful game but that trailer leaves me wanting more.

You'd only get all that with a remaster of BoTW, which won't be coming until the next two generations of Nintendo consoles, I think.

I know, buddy. I know....It still makes me a sad bunny though. That 2014 trailer was in-engine, so with a beefy enough system it could have looked like that.

Even if they ever do a BotW remaster, going by the past Zelda remasters they've done, I doubt they'd improve geometry in any meaningful way, but I might get the rest of my whishlist one day.

I won't be mildly impressed until some 16K ones. Peasant.

Have you seen my 32k screenshot thread?

Now it's better. Keep pushing for more pixels, surpass all limits.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.
