I'm actually pretty excited about this.

Theyellowflash304528d ago

Yes, this is Xenoblade 2 or a game in the Xenoblade Universe. Check out this article here.

Just look at the size of the monsters, wow. Whatever it is, it's going to be special.

stuntman_mike4528d ago

sadly I never got to play Xenoblade chronicles (not for the want of trying, people are charging way to much for it.) this looks amazing tho, maybe they will release the first xenoblade in HD along with it?

Search around at gamestops. It's still only 50 bucks and it's completely worth it.

stuntman_mike4528d ago

I'm in the UK they don't have any gamestops where I live only GAME. But luckily I found it for £20 used at blockbuster today, result!.

Well, those spiky hills growing up to the right at the beginning of the trailer do look like the ones on the Bionis' Leg. That guy near the end of the trailer is IDENTICAL to Shulk and I'm not gonna spoil it but, yeah the mech explanation in the article makes sense to me because I thought the same after watching the trailer.

exactly made sense to me too

Love their games. I wish they had more power to work with as they create awesome worlds but are limited by handheld specs. Hopefully Switch 2 upscaling can work some miracles with the lower end specs and gives the immersion that this world should have.

Asterphoenix80d ago

I'm looking forward to seeing more on what they'll do for Switch 2. Longs they maintain their standard and they have done it for
years.

Hope for Xenosaga 1-3 remaster one day whether they do it or not. They did it with Baiten Kaios.

jjb198180d ago

That would be awesome. That is such an amazing series.

gold_drake80d ago

i would love to play the xenoblade games, as im a big fan of the xeno series in general, but damn.
the anime style character looks and the mmo approach/inspiration the combat is not my cup of tea at all.

Can't wait for XC4 on Nintendo switch 2!!!

cthulhucultist189d ago

One of the best Nintendo first party developers who can squeeze most out of Nintendo platforms.

It si quite a feat that they managed to improve the graphics on Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in comparison to 2 as Digital Foundry pointed out in their tech review.

jznrpg189d ago

It would look so much better with some decent power. When your characters were in a closeup they became very blurry, the ground looked like PS2 graphics. That’s not on Monolith though. Hopefully the Switch 2 is considerably more powerful but I’m not sure it will be

Neonridr189d ago

it will be considerably more powerful than the Switch

DarXyde188d ago

Most likely it will be.

But also very likely DLSS or some proprietary variant will handle the heavy lifting on visuals.

Dedicated hardware-based ray tracing and a decent CPU should be a good starting point.

repsahj189d ago

I enjoyed playing XC3 more than Tales of Arise on my PS5. So graphics are not everything.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH188d ago

Imagine if Nintendo made a Next Gen Console stronger than the Series or PS5. They would completely crush the competition. I’m not a Nintendo fanboy in the slightest but let’s be real here, the only thing stopping Nintendo from world domination is the lack of power.
