lol, good god! We looking at a PS2 game?

not saying its an ugly game, but its defiantly meh looking in terms of graphics.

Mind you...I love this teams art work in all their games, Xenosaga might be one of the few RPG series I've played all 3 of.....3 times JUST BECAUSE!

The game is looking good, but I would actually be surprised if someone told me this was last gen, this legit looks low quality. They look buttery looking like they are made of some soft, sweaty clay lol

Now if only it could look like this..

We can dream though.

@EDM, i hope you are talking about the character models only. FFXV looks like what i see driving through highway 5 in california just add 3 dull arched rock formations and a big crystal lol. Meanwhile Xenoblade looks like a genuine alien planet, with intersting terrain and vegetation. The only part of the worlds that looks Better in XV are the towns.

Youve played every Xeno game 3X yet you complain about the Xeno artsyle? Mario always looks like mario, Sonic always looks like Sonic no matter how good graphics get.

DeusEx-Machina3479d ago (Edited 3479d ago )

You might not like the design, but actually, those images look pretty good IMO.

Seriously, the attitude of some guys here is really laughable.

Frankly, personally I don't care if a game has 'not so good graphics', if the things that matter are next to flawless, like: gameplay, art design, writing, story-telling, content, ... (unlike *cough* a certain other more recent next gen game)

I don't know about you guys, but I didn't play the original Xenoblade on the Wii, for it's marvelous achievements in the graphical department.

(Though the dens flora and extreme view distance was very impressive indeed)

vishmarx3478d ago (Edited 3478d ago )

its funny that none of you care about graphics yet you all get butthurt with my post when it was clearly for OP who evidently cares about graphics, given his post.

i wasnt the one who brought up graphics.
but since OP did and said it looks too good for a 2015 gaming console,i had to respond to him by showing that its not completely true and it doesnt come without a fair share of sacrifices.

way to get worked up hypocrites

DeusEx-Machina3478d ago (Edited 3478d ago )

@vishmarx:

Oh, I and most likley everyone else cares about graphics.

However what most people fail to realize is that 'great graphics' come at a cost.

Many, if not most AAA games these days waste their development budget, time and/or hardware capabilities to achieve the high-end graphics the main stream gamer has learned to demand and expect. Aside of budget and time, they do this at the cost of asset density, gameplay fidelity, quality, area sizes, content, etc.

Xenoblade on the original Wii excelled in every department that makes a game of it's genre, except in graphics. And it was this very fact, (the fact of not focusing on poly-counts and texture resolution) that made it actually possible.

The point is keeping things in balance, and not sacrificing important game features due to budget and hardware limitations, only to adhere to a graphic obsessed mainstream.

If you can't understand that, then you are part of the problem.

Big_Game_Hunters3478d ago (Edited 3478d ago )

What sacrifices are those? its like you didn't even read my comment. Also where in my post do i contradict myself? Do you just not know what a hypocrite is? dictionaries aren't that expensive man.

Yea. I own it but don’t want to pull out the Wii U

Zeldafan64465d ago

I never unplugged my Wii U. Still play it almost daily but a definitive edition of X would be appreciated.

jznrpg465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

It’s one of the systems I have the least games for . Though there are some really good games on it. I have systems from Atari’s , Nintendo’s, Segas , TurboGrafx 16 , PS’s etc etc so I put a few in my game storage room. I do pull it out from time to time and I have a new one in a box but won’t open that .
But I’d really like to have a Chronicles X but not on Switch whatever the next console is preferably so they can add more quality to it .

Zeldafan64464d ago

Lucky, you didn't need to explain that.

Zeldafan64465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

Playing X at 1080/60 would be great so waiting for the Switch successor would be ideal but it wouldn't be smart to make it a launch game. It would suck waiting til 2025 to get X definitive edition but I think that's what will happen.

I know people say Wii U has no games but I've got over 100 games for it.

luckytrouble465d ago

I mean, when people say a system has "no games" they aren't saying the system literally had no games released on it. They're more commenting on the state of games that make the system worth owning. For many the Wii U never had a game that made the system worth owning, or if it did, it has a Switch port or successor at this point anyways so they were effectively proven correct to have never purchased a Wii U in the first place.

Yes, depending on the individual the Wii U remains worth owning for the handful of games still locked to it, but for many they'd rather just wait to see what else gets ported in the future at this point. There is exceptionally little you can only play on a Wii U these days though, especially with the eShop dead so anything that may have existed only on it is no longer of consequence to non-Wii U owners.

chaos999465d ago

They said it cost too much time to remap controls unfortunately

luckytrouble465d ago

In all fairness, that's probably a reason they're passing on a few of the still Wii U locked games. Starfox Zero, among the reasons you may not want to port it, would need its entire control scheme reworked from the ground up. Chronicles X may not be as extreme of a case (I don't know, I've never played or watched gameplay), but often unless a game is going to sell really well, it can be hard to convince a company to do more than the basic expected remaster work. Heck, a lot of people figure the only reason we got Galaxy 1 in the 3D All Stars collection for example is because they had already done the work for the Nvidia Shield port for China, which subsequently is likely the major reason they didn't include Galaxy 2. They simply did not want to remap the game controls. It may sound silly since it sounds so simple just by the words, but you have to figure more goes into it than you're probably thinking if it's that much of a sticking point.

DefaultComment465d ago

Yes, I agree. We definitely need to retake Xenoblade Chronicles X which btw it left us on a cliffhanger suggesting there wiull be a XCX2 .... and im up for it.

isarai465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

I put so many hours into X, just please ad a music volume setting was going crazy walking around base and hearing

"UH UH... YEAH!.. YEAH!...YEAHYEAHYEEEEAAAAH!..U H UH!"

FinalFantasyFanatic464d ago

I can't believe they haven't done it yet, it's the Xenoblade game I'm most excited for, I would buy it in a heart beat.

It has been 10 years since Xenoblade arrived in the US, we look back at how the game almost never showed up if not for a group of dedicated fans.

I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.

pietro1212902d ago

As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.

porkChop903d ago

Xenoblade went on to be a really successful franchise too.

pietro1212903d ago

I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07944d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad944d ago (Edited 944d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07944d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad944d ago (Edited 944d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212944d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX943d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX943d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
