The low end power of the switch has me worried about this game. Will it look better than the originals and still be 60fps? I have a hard time believing it when you take BOTW into consideration and other switch ports with flat textures, constant pop-in, and 720p and that's still with 30fps games. I'm really curious if Nintendo can pull it off.
It just needs to be a bit more linear no?

Halo 4 did that in order to run on X360, then the campaign was panned for being too linear, so I really hope they don't do that, plus Metroid should be the last game that has "linear" associated with it.
I think Nintendo has a creative way of pushing the look of the games through styles and smart design. I mean, metroid other M is a pretty atrocious game and story, but it looked and played well for the most part (beyond the cinematics and pointing the wiimote for missles and shit). I thought it was a good way of translating traditional metroid in a 3D space. Linearity is another story though...
I'd argue that Mario Galaxy when it released looked on-par with a 360 game and shit, it still holds up.
>>381959114
Switch can barely 60fps
>>381959256
He meant 'a bit more linear' compared to Breath of the Wild, not Halo

/thread. OP is either a retard or a falseflag.
>>381958667
I'm not worried about that at all, I just want the tank controls ditched.
>>381959365
"[console] can/can't do [framerate]" is one of the dumbest expressions I've ever heard because that's not how it fucking works. It's completely on the dev's end.
>>381958667
>flat textures, constant pop-in, and 720p and that's still with 30fps games.
BOTW is one of the most technically impressive games there has ever been. Who gives a shit what it looks like when you can stand on a fucking mountain in the game and see the entire game world at once, then walk to any point in real time?
That said, Metroid Prime 4 is still going to look great like all the other games.
>2001 system
Gamecube is fucking older than half of /v/
Gee I don't know dude
>>381958667
The originals are gamecube titles. You'll be getting 1080p 60fps with similar fidelity easily.
>>381958667
the tegra x1 is multiple times more powerful than the CPU/GPU inside the Wii. Metroid Prime 4 will be fine.
My nigga.
BOTW is 720p 30fps, but it's a consistent open world with no loading screens and massive render distance.
Metroid Prime is a tight, claustrophobic game. You can take the power to make ALL of BOTW rendered at once, and focus it into small areas.
You're asking if a new game will look/run better than a game from the GameCube. Stop falseflagging.
>>381960653
Will it look like this?
>>381958667
First partyNintendo games always pull all the juice they can out of the console. Metroid Prime did, after all. So I'm not worried about Metroid Prime 4.
>>381960653
Or this?
>>381958667
Nigga are you serious? They're GameCube games with tight and condense corridors with loading times hidden behind doors.
>>381960653
How about this, though?
>>381960803
>will it look like a pre-rendered cut scene
>>381960803

>>381960903
No it'll actually have good art direction :^)
>>381960803
>>381960857
>>381960903
Ofcourse it won't look like that. Why even bother?
>>381960653
Maybe it'll come close to this.
You do know the original Metroid Prime was the best looking console title ever, right?
Or are you fifteen?
>>381958667
It's not going to be an open world game, I'm sure they'll be able to pull it off.
>>381958667
Considering how good Nintendo is at optimizing and that they'll be making this game from the ground up for the Switch, I highly doubt it'll have limitations or look bad.
>>381960803

Why is it that every time I see this game posted, it's just the character running and no actual gameplay?
Nice scripted sequence though I guess. Why do the trees fall like buildings?

>Metroid Prime looked great in the gamecube era, if not graphically, at least on effects (people still gush about the water and steam on visor shit)
I think a console two whole generations away will at least look decent.
>>381958667
I wouldn't be worried because Nintendo gets a lot out of their systems I mean look at Mario Kart 8 that game came out on Wii U and it's gorgeous
The original games used some pretty novel tricks to get the 60 FPS on Gamecube. I am certain that Nintendo can figure something out to make the game run smoothly.
>>381959365
Are you fucking retarded? wait, no need to answer that
>>381961381
You're clearly fifteen. Prime was the best looking console game ever.
You know, back when Nintendo gave a fuck about hardware.
>>381958667
I don't have a Switch, but I hope it can. It make motivate me to buy one.
But my God, I fucking wish Nintendo could follow their philosophy for games when it comes to creating a console. They don't need to make a fucking gimmick console just to stand out. It seems really contradictory to say they are confident their games will sell because their IPs are so famous and fun, yet they still pull shit like this.

Someone post Dolphin screenshots already.
>>381961690
In what ways is the switch a gimmick console? Is portability a gimmick?
I'd say the switch is the least gimmicky system nintendos made since the gamecube
>>381962364
That's extreme wishful thinking.
Hopefully it will retain the same artstyle as the previous prime games
>>381962587
You don't know that.
>>381962415
Yes, because the portability purposely limits the console's performance. Nintendo's done for their last three generations.
