God I miss the days when mechanical stuff like that would be animated by hand, in any cartoon. Look at how alive it looks. Nowadays that would all be fucking CG.

LOL do you have eyeballs? They’re these round things that fit into your skull. People who have them can see how these faces look like some kinda weirdass chinese ripoff of themselves. An artist who knows what they’re doing can avoid that even if they have only 5 polygons to work with. It has nothing at all to do with…

Is your post a joke? Limitations don’t give your characters weirdass clay faces. Zelda on the N-fucking-64 didn’t look this inhuman.

hahahahahahaha no

BotW had some frame dropping in some spots before the patch. After the patch it’s just the pedestal of the Master Sword where they layer a million transparent light shafts and mist clouds on top of each other. Other than that I haven’t seen a single drop anywhere in about a 100 hours of post-patch gameplay.

“Not terribly far off”? Seriously? Look at the girl. She looked great in the original trailer, but she looks like some clay faced doofus in this new one.

To clarify, the faces (especially the girl’s) look infinitely better in the original kickstarter trailer. Should’ve made that more clear in my post.

But they had those models. Why replace them?

Hahahaha yeah I “have tried”, a few times actually. It’s my job.

Photorealistic? Overwatch isn’t photorealistic, TF2 isn’t photorealistic, hell, most if not all anime games out there are as far from realistic as you can get, yet manage to look better than these art school reject looking face models.

Don’t try to excuse 3D models that look like a 16 year old’s first try in Blender by comparing them to old games that still look miles and miles better than this. The Silent Hill games, MGS, RE, Final Fantasy, hell, even the original Shenmue managed to have faces that didn’t look as retarded as this.

Look at the faces in the new trailer. Then look at the faces in the kickstarter trailer: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3

How can you look at those terrible faces and think they look “excellent”?????????

But hey who doesn’t want to destroy a car with no (perceived) consequences?

You rationalize and dismiss all you want. It’s a stupid line, and nobody is gonna look back and remember any of that stuff because relatively speaking it just isn’t important to anyone who doesn’t try their damnedest to make it important in their head.

Nintendo does absolutely nothing like what MS was trying to pull with the X1, lol. To even compare it is silly.

Lol are you kidding? Nintendo get crucified all the time by aforementioned loud internet whingers.

Only to a vocal minority. Like I said elsewhere: do you really think, in the future, the history of Nintendo will be predominantly written about all the great games and consoles they made, or that one time they didn’t do voice chat right or gave the Wii U a silly name?
