>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.

Awesome, I still remember how they doubled the WiiU's performance with a software update. Nintendo does it again!Fucking retards.
>>382772458

As someone whose been spited by the last 3 home consoles they've released including the switch, and their desperate attempt to pander to casual scum by ruining all their IP's and forcing gimmicks, i'd welcome this scenario.

>It's not true because I say so
ok
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.
>>382773023
>disgaya
>1080
>>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.
What's happening here?

MK8D, Splatoon 2, and Arms are all 1080p60 games. Obviously nothing special with visuals, but it's 1080p and 60fps.

The bendy switches came like that from the factory. The formed plastic they use will either stay as it is or just melt under enough heat.
>>382772458
>>382772319
The Switch Tegra chip is actually massively underclocked to be fair.
IM sure the revision will have a better fan or battery and will unlock it fully
>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.
>>382773670

Yeah, except this is nvidia. They'll find a way to fuck it up. I'm not saying this based on their PC hardware, I'm saying this based on anyone in the console/portable manfucturing industry that's ever worked with them has been fucked over.
>>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.
>>382774218

The Switch doesn't get nearly hot enough to even come close to the melting point of plastic.
All the bent Switches came that way from the factory.

Not the same thing, but it's something.
>>382774218
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

Pokemon Switch works fine. Stars triggers my autism and PTSD of fags thinking those tranny leaks were real.
>>382774883
Not a lot desu. I fully expect it at some point. Transfer rates for USB-C are decent but it won't increase performance by that much.
>>382773241
And? It's still 1080p
>>382775107
Prime 4 is going to look amazing like Prime 3 was on the Wii graphically, but it'll not be like what you said. Any of that "focus on hardware pushing" shit

Close enough. The man continues to have no taste.
>>382775681
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.
>>382775629
This is supposed to be LOSS isn't it?
So, when is Prime 4 going to take place? The Phazon Trilogy is over. Will they squeeze a game in between 1 and 2, or 2 and 3? Just make another story altogether?
>>382775435
>being this dumb
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.
All it means is memeworld pokemon might run at 30fps
>>382777913
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.
>>382779645
Doesn't the Prime games take place between RoS and Super? If so, it could lead into RoS.
I also hope that they will fully render a 3D Zebesian this time, that concept art for the space pirate in the instruction booklet is just perfect...
>>382779738
Zebesians are gone along with all of zebes
These SP will be a different species
>>382772956
How is it not true?
>>382779735
The prime Games are set just after Metroid 1. Apparently MP is not "canon" in the M1,M2, SM, Other M, MF timeline but it's bullshit. MP doesn't affect at all the series so why put it in a "alternate universe". Sakamoto is just a jealous faggot.

At least when others makes you re-buy the games it has a graphics upgrade.
Running a Wii U game at 1080p/60fps is the opposite of impressive.
>>382780293
You just contradicted yourself.
>>382780040
>Apparently MP is not "canon"
You should stop spreading lies.
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.
One of the few guys who doesnt want to scrap everything as soon as one game doesnt meet expectations. Seems he learned as well.
>>382780378
>hurr running a game at a standard resolution is a graffix upgrade now
Wow, cant wait for another 6 years of these visuals only in 1080p
>>382772153
I bet the game will look like shit or have the pixar artstyle 100% of their games have.
Whats up with Nintendo being stagnated on Gamecube level visuals?
>>382780501
I don't know who you are quoting, but this is what you said:

>another thread where Nintendo fanboys make up performance of the console by literally lying to make them look good
I remember the Wii U having "loads of 1080p 60fps games" too. Why is it so hard to get any objectivr answers from Nintendo fans?

>>382780602
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
>>382780932
I don't really care that much. I'm not re-buying the games though since I never bought them in the first place.
>>382772153
>but...but...but... : The Post
>>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.
>>382780040
>Sakamoto-san, will this game have any relation to the Prime trilogy?
>Well no, the Prime games tell their own self contained story that isn't relevant to the one I want to tell in Other M
>SAKAMOTO SAID PRIME ISN'T CANON REEEEEEE!
Fucking neck yourself, I've seen down syndrome grade school kids with better reading comprehension than you.
>>382781657
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.
>>382775107
I just hope they don't sacrifice graphics for gameplay and make it 30fps.
>>382782081
This is one of my biggest worries since it's a new dev team and not Retro. Also hope they don't aim for set-pieces like MP3.
