Well, you know, they're the experts, not me. Turns out they also prefer games you can see clearly though, even if it uses some older and more basic looking assets. I never tried to claim that the graphical scope was on the same level as big budget third-party titles, but somehow the whole discussion became centred around that.
I still feel Prime 4 is a great looking game for its hardware, as Prime 3 was.
Granted, as a Switch 1 game at heart, it's not pushing Switch 2 in terms of lighting, effects, geometry and the like, but running at 4K/60fps or 1080p/120fps, it's still a showcase for the system's maximum pixel/framerate output while looking attractive.
Development for Metroid Prime 4 started a while back. Probably way before it was clear what the Switch2 tech was gonna be capable of. After Nintendo figured that out, I think nobody could expect Retro to go "Ok let's scrap half our work and make new assets for everything".
From the footage I think Prime4 looks fantastic. It's all in the art direction and to my eyes they've nailed it.
