Sakurai did a good video on marketing philosophy. It just seems simple for me to assume it's not running on Next Gen

@TrieuDuongLuu
Ай бұрын
@@TheWanFahmi because basically it pre calculate lighting, and save it (or bake) to texture call lightmap, it need more work. - The 3d assets used in calculate need a unique Unwrap UV channel to store lightmap. - The calculating process take time, it can take hours or even days for a high quality depend on scene complex, hardware power and memory. It something like offline render process. And everytime something change break the lighting, whole scene need to start calculate again, so it take a a lot of time to test and iterate. Compare to that realtime GI like Lumen dynamically adjust when the scene change, so it easier and faster to work. But it require enormous compute horse power and maybe dedicate hardware (Raytracing), and maybe more visual artifacts and bugs.
It's funny seeing so many comments crapping on the idea of the switch 2 already. No, its not going to compete with PC, PS5 etc, but it will have do a lot more than just increase frame rate / resolution of the OG Switch. Much higher resolution textures, more detailed geometry, higher pollycounts, possibility for things like Nanite, and all that combined with hardware raytracing and DLSS 3 etc, I'm excited to see what Nintendo / retro can do with the tech. Also, not being multi platform for their in-house titles, also means that they can fine tune the look of their games a lot more. I have my fingers crossed that MP4 turns out to be a cross platform game 🤞🏻

“Aesthetic of Halo 4”, “Looks like a Halo character”. Stop with bs-ing. It’s Metroid not freakin Halo. Not necessary to make comments about MP4B and compare it to H4. People can get the impression that MP4B is a ripoff of H4 which it isn’t (obviously). Look back at 6th gen: Xbox with Halo and GameCube with Metroid Prime. From a technical point MP is superior to Halo. But that’s not the point. It’s the gameplay that differs between the two games. Halo is a great franchise and so is Metroid (Prime). So, please, be careful about what you say about two totally different games. Great video.

Again, it's not going to directly compete with the X and PlayStation 5, but I think there's going to be a notable jump, especially with the sheer amount of PlayStation 4 in some PlayStation 5 crossover multi-platz and based on the stuff that I've seen, I think people should expect a lot of Nintendo's first party efforts to look like a quote slightly worse" version of what they should with Astro Bot recently. I think people are going to be legitimately shocked with what they are seeing because they don't realize how much hardware has caught up, especially for those who do not have a steam deck.

It's a tongue lisp, some people have it
It's Nintendo...they wouldn't do this. They do a lot of questionable things, but they don't have twitter brain.

That's a good thing
well look, it probably the best looking switch game, and in general it looks good to. I mean its not the crysis of its time, but still!!! Art and graphics making it as good as old ass switch can handle. Maybe the Switch 2 version can bump it even more. At least ITS ON THE switch and not forcing us to get switch 2.
Ok buddy we need to calm down with the Halo references. The world has always had these jungle type areas with interesting animals, the enemies look the same just HD but yes some elements like the space ship in the battle scene looks Halo-ish but Sylux looks very much like a Metroid Prime enemy.

A very very boring looking enemy to boot.
Lol I have a clip of halo 4 edited with the metroid ost on my profile. That mission was straight up former retro studios people, or so i was told
That would be switch 2 graphics. Can't stop laughing. Who would think that... It seems so dated and slow down
"But this isn't running on Switch" Metroid Prime Remastered literally is running on the same engine with similar graphics. 🙄
Nice that's a clickbait i like, i expected, you are going to say it's recorded of a PC.
Joycon aiming please

Prime Remastered had the option, so I expect Prime 4 will have it. Really I expect control options to be pretty much an exact match.

@@JohnGuyJohn I was disappointed in the gyro aiming options in Prime Remastered. It felt like you were dragging the corners of the screen around to turn the camera like the original Red Steel. Metroid Prime 3 had absolutely amazing controls by choosing Advanced in the options menu. It felt like you had a tight spring attached to the center of the screen and it was perfect.

Why does it look like Halo 4? Will Prime 4 be the Halo 4 of the Primes?
Did a SUPER Casual comparison Video, comparing MP4 to DOOM 2016 and Eternal (switch versions obviously) and its looking like MP4 will visually be the most ground breaking 🙂🥂

It looks pretty good. Glad to see something new.
You should've researched a little on Sylux. He follows Samus in Prime 3 ending, he also appears in federation force ending stealing a Metroid or "fake" Metroid. He is not some random enemy. Also thats Metroid Prime aesthetic.

@@JsYTAWe do know more though. He was a main character in Hunters. Not the most story driven Metroid game by enemy means, but he is an established character with a history. He didn't just pop up in 3 and Federation Force

He may not be “random”, but he is essentially a nobody. He’s one of several generic hunters from MP:H.
Is John alright?
Everyone knows it's on the switch 1, switch 2 games in 2025.
Nvidia better put DLSS on the next Switch
It definitely isn't. Looks good tho
This looks like a switch game. The switch 2 version will be insane.
I have a shorter andore precise video. Its in the same trailer. It says and shows Nintendo switch logo....
Non nintendo gamers dont know nothing when it comes to their games and hardware, SAMOOSE, REALLY? get the name right, bro 😅
Halo: Infinite = Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
A month ago I found an article saying prime 4 would be the switch 2. I was greatly pleased that it will be for the switch.
The way I heard it was when Halo 4 came out people from the Metroid prime team worked on that game and a lot of people who were Metroid fans played Halo 4 and appreciated it..
Why would it be? WTH?
Souls games level design always impressed me and with elden ring that magic was lost.
Of course its Switch footage! Who seriously doubts that?! I also doubt it will be cross gen. Maybe a GOTY edition/ remaster in 2026.
Okay
Samoose?
Getting big wolfenstein the new order vibes with the opening. So excited.
Bro on the right looks like Buddha
Not manny enemy’s so that is the trick 🤷
No one thought it was running on Switch 2 hardware, so you didn't need to tell us.

Am I the only one not impressed? Maybe, it's because I expect the very best possible, for every single game and want Nintendo to compete with the best graphics possible.
These sound like haters 😂😂
Game looks good, but that jawline is too masculine. lol jk
I'm sure the game will be amazing, but the people fawning over it's visuals make no sense to me. This looks worse than Halo 4 did on Xbox 360.
I really hope its got a multiplayer
4:30 weird way of saying Samus
Of course it wasn't running on Sw2. The graphics are far from new generation visuals!
Am I the only one that was really underwhelmed by the Metroid 4 trailer?
