>Metroid Prime 4 is a collaborative effort between Nintendo studios, working to deliver 1080p 60fps high quality visuals. The Nintendo Switch is to receive numerous OS updates with the help of Nvidia to improve the performance of the system by utilising a feature Tegra chips are partially designed for, FP16 computing. This can theoretically boost the Switches docked performance from 393Gflops to a peak of 750Gflops with little extra power required.

I see a bunch of niggers replying that don't know what FP16 computing is. Using FP16 essentially halves the load on the system that would normally be on it. It could probably put Zelda through in 4k with Zelda's current load on Switch's hardware.

>>382773128
Honestly I was hard pressed to find a 5th game since Switch's library is so shit right now but everything I googled said it was 1080p
>>
>>382772890

FP16 doesn't require any extra power nor produces any extra heat. It's literally just a new instruction set to run 2 calculations at once at half the precision. No one has ever used FP16 because FP32 is the standard and devs aren't talented programmers like they were 20 years ago.

>fp16

What's wrong with you

The Switch has a lot of power, not quite as much as would be optimal though, it's about half what I would have called ideal, and the Ram is a bit slow for what I would call ideal either, but there's a decent jump in visuals/performance between WiiU and Switch.

Some people suspect that Odyssey will yet again be 1080@60, this is based on both Arms and Splatoon 2 being 720@60 in their first showing builds, there is the possibility that Nintendo build their games for the Switch undocked and then expand them for docked mode for the final release.

>>
>>382772153
Dropping floating point precision to FP16 sounds like it could introduce some rather severe visual downgrade if they don't do a real good job of hiding it.

Regardless, this is hardly relevant for end-users, just something for developers to look forward to tackling.

The models are pretty scalable both ways, but there's a sort of upper limit to how detailed they can be, it really just comes down giving them a cleaner smoother silhouette, completely achievable by tessellation, these models are future proof to anything but an art style change and have already been scaled down to around 1/2 to 1/8 the poly count in 3ds Pokémon titles, there are even commercially available lod generators that can handle most of the work automatically, but the models are probably touched up by hand.

>>382774464
FP16 won't cause that, and it's not very useful, I'm not entirely sure what it does but I think you are talking things like z fighting at closer distances due to low precision, and less colours in composited frame causing things like colour banding.

>>382774848
Look at how good the original Prime looked, are there people thinking that Prime 4 won't look amazing with the advanced rendering techniques available today, Nintendo use pseudo physically based lighting systems in their games right now and the Switch has plenty of Ram for high res textures, you're going to spend most of the time exploring the areas and being surprisingly wowed at how good the game looks, especially compared to Prime 1-3

I can't tell if you're being ironic with your use of a single frame gif; drawing a parallel in how the gif file format is used for animated pictures like how 1080p is used for high quality pictures. Saying that a single frame gif is still a gif despite having another format being a better choice like a single pixel 1080p picture would be better off being 1p instead. Either that or you're just a retard who posts low quality anime girls with inquisatory looks.

fp16 and 32 are common intruction sets but are often underutiiized in new hardware until the kinks are ironed out.
3/4s of a Tflop is nothing, literally nothing.

It's gonna be after the trilogy obviously. I hope it's in a interesting time setting. And that the game will acknowledge Super Metroid or Metroid 2.

He actually said they are in the same "universe/story" and to just say its a spin off with no relation would be a cop out to the fans.

A resolution bumb probably the worst graffix upgrade you can get for re-buying the entire game. Going from low poly geometry and subpar textures/filtering to high quality assets across the board is upgrading the graffix.

Too bad because I would have gotten a paperwieght for zelda and MK if they looked any different. The LoD was barely fucking changed in both. Maybe there will be a new dong thats good

Unless you think sony is doing it right, in which case enjoy your barley noticeable improvements and same fps in the same games you bought years ago on a console that supposedly is much weaker

>>382781019
I buy games when I want to play them so I already got to experience all they have to offer in the exact same graffix for less money.
Thats the only reason I'm upset, they are wasting their time porting games that already sold well instead of making new games.

Dont even bother trying to tell me b-b-but they have other teams working on those games.
No fucking shit, I would prefer if the dozen or two people stuck porting wii u games had a chance to actually make a new title, shit even an eshop title if its small.

Wasting talent on port jobs is a fucking waste. Too bad every company just loves to buy talent and throw it out the window.
>>
>>382781329
It's not a waste if they're making a profit.
>>
>>382781454
For the stockholders bottom line, not for the consumers.

Too bad theres no way to just play the games I already own on the newer console like so many before. All it would have taken is serial numbers and a mediocre online service.
>>
>>382781549
Again, it depends on the consumer. For us who didn't buy a Wii U it's a decent deal, but for you it kind of sucks. It's a quick and easy way to offer a slightly updated game for people who didn't get a Wii U.

Before you could just buy those games for the last console for a discount, since they are so fucking old now, and they would actually work in your new device.
Something that could still easily be done with serial numbers and a mediocre online service. I use to be all about this company but at this point I may as well get a fucking xbox because I'm getting fucked either way, except at least they are trying with OG xbox emulation and play anywhere.
