Hardly and if you;re going to use a Switch 2 shot then at least compare it too Halo 5 on the One X



They look like they're from the same game, and this level looks so much like Prime 2 . Its almost like the Halo 5 team made Prime 2

MP4 on Switch 2 still looks better than Halo 5 on Xbox One X. Not only that, these are compressed images taken from YouTube and not direct feed images from Nintendo.

Ofcourse it looks better. MP4 even has raytracing on Switch 2.

Did you just imply Mario kart world is 120fps? There's no way.

1440p/60fps or 1080p/120fps the same as Metroid apparently. Lots of info coming from the show floor and hands on time / previews when people could actually ask questions to the devs.

They are unbearable. Just completely fucking retarded too. Literally every Switch 2 thread on here has more posts from you-know-who blabbering on and on about their fucking console than there are posts about the Switch 2.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

For any doubter still remaining, this is a crystal clear example of how Switch 2's hardware is a big jump from Switch 1.

Yep and it's a quick launch window port like BotW on Switch. The difference is the Switch is 10-15x the power of Switch not 2x like Switch was over WiiU so it's obvious.

CDPR only spent 6 days to achieve the results they got out of Switch 2 for CP2077.

Some of these posts are embarrassing. You can tell who're absolutely raging because Nintendo are now within spitting distance of Sony and MS hardware wise

It was the same raging back in the N64 and GCN days. Except the fact the fanboys had the "Nintendo is for kids" bias as a triumph to downplay Nintendo.

And we thought Halo Infinite looked dull and dated in 2020. Craig wouldn't be out of place here. Also people said Armored Core 6 had unimpressive graphics for 2023...Geez. What is this? This is not even up to modern AA standards.

There's no way MP4 is running at 4K 60fps even with DLSS on Switch 2 if it has ray tracing lol

100% MKW started development on switch 1, but they cancelled it later on, they couldn't with MP4 because it was already announced and they had to honor that. After all honor and shame are big parts of japanese culture (I'm an expert).

I don't think it looks better than this really and it's remarkable how similar they look. Its like most of the Halo 5 now work at Retro

Weren't many who worked on the Prime games hired to work on Halo? I feel like Halo got more of Prime DNA later on than the opposite.

I've no idea but Prime 2 reminds me so much of Halo 5 for looks

343 poached a lot of talent from virtually everywhere, ND, Santa Monica and many others when they were formed.

That's absolutely fucking bonkers....1080p 120fps...

I never imagined it.

I remember when i sow the first trailer of Halo 4, I was, this looks like Metroid Prime.

 

[Mozza]

Yeah everything a faux outrage, easy peasy for everyone to buy below MSRP. Have you been PR-ing for nVIDIA 5xxx series too recently? They need this kind of optimism .

I find it pretty easy. But you all could go digital and save yourself $10... Or even better get the Mario Kart Switch 2 bundle at $499 and get a $80 game for only $50.... The possibilities are endless.

You and half the internet.
The newer covies, promies and the set pieces on requiem reminded me much more metroid than halo. (And of course halo 5 doubled down on that art style)

Even halo cea kinda gave me that vibe.

And we thought Halo Infinite looked dull and dated in 2020. Craig wouldn't be out of place here. Also people said Armored Core 6 had unimpressive graphics for 2023...Geez. What is this? This is not even up to modern AA standards.

Halo infinite looked dull and dated because the tech/reveal trailers prior to the gameplay reveal were using assets in unreal, giving off much more vibrant and detailed designs. They were basically fake so when we got the real gameplay and saw just how fucking downgraded it was, we rioted.

 

[Moses85]

Looks good but basically on par with halo 4 and a bit behind kz2. Still 60 fps while those games were 30. Just not sure why that’s their target on switch 1.

Get some

 

[Leopold]

Very impressive. It is like low to high. And no, it looks much better than Halo 4 or 5 lol but again, the artstyle is cohesive. Halo 5 and Infinite were...eh.

Both games had very different art styles.

4 and 5 were metroid hybrids while infinite was more like if 343 stuck with and modernized halo reach’s grittier artstyle

Artistically halo infinite was fine, it was the eveything else that was eh.

Fair. Although my memory of Infinite (maxed on Pc) was more of a fun game than a pretty game.

Agreed, I still wouldnt call it pretty, graphically it was hardly an upgrade over 5. But artistically it was miles better…

Except for the part 80% of the game is timberland

 

[blacktout]

Did you watched the comparison video? They already did that, it’s not just a res bump.

Watching this now and thinking about all the people who insisted that first trailer must have been using Switch 2 footage because the Switch 1 couldn't possibly look that good. Oops.

Despite being a member here for so long, I still don't recognize who the drive by posters are. I will say there is something kind of endearing about the console warriors and haters. It's like a Zoro and Sanji thing or Tom and Jerry. It's kind of cute and funny to me.

When I was a kid on the school yard I was a bit like that. But now at nearly 40, employed by Microsoft once, employed by Sony once, both for game related jobs I just can't bring myself to bash on any company just trying to earn my dollar.

Are you a game dev? Curious what your role is, are you retired from the industry?

Nah, I'm a martial arts teacher, actor and stunt man. I live in LA near all the developers and every now and then I get to work for them for motion capture or something. I haven't worked on anything gaming related in a few years though. All my friends and some of my students are all over the cutscenes on these western made games though.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

I would agree with you if this was any other genre.
but the thing is, there barely are any good 3D action adventures these days anymore, let alone in the Meteoidvania subgenre, which is basically nonexistent in 3D and is mainly a genre kept alive by 2D low budget titles (like the absolutely brilliant PoP The Lost Crown that everyone should play).

if you have a game in a genre that's nearly dead, being oldschool can be a good thing.
I think this is why so man Zelda fans want the OoT formula back, because Zelda kept oldschool 3D action adventures alive. and when it changed to a more open freeform game with BotW, some saw that as disappointing... sure you'll get the occasional game like Darksiders, but what besides Darksiders 1 and maybe even 2 is there? and these games are already 15 and 13 years old respectively...
the Soul Reaver remaster is one... but, it's a remaster.

other long running franchises like Resident Evil, that maybe started out as action adventures, often morphed into different genres. now the most you'll see in RE are hints at the original action adventures roots but they aren't action adventures anymore ever since RE4.
even modern Tomb Raider games can barely be called action adventures anymore, as they tried to follow the trend set by Uncharted, where action adventure elements are basically faked to give the illusion of gameplay variety.

Plenty of ways to keep it a 3D action adventure and still evolve and innovate. That's my point. Look how much the original Prime did? There's plenty more ideas where that came from. No need to copy the exact same formula, mechanics, gameplay loop, design etc. Take some creative risks and make the game stand out.
