NL: ''The talented development team at Monolith Soft is busy polishing off Xenoblade Chronicles X for its Western release on the Wii U in December, but that hasn't stopped them thinking of their next project.''
Xenoblade developer Monolith Soft reflects on the past and future, talking about quality and striving for more.
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.
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.
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.
Nintendo Life: "If our hopes of some Monolith Soft Switch 2 goodness weren't already high enough, today, they reached a new peak as we learned that the team has added a fresh cutscene director to its ranks with a pretty beefy portfolio to his name."
Nintendo has finally acquired the remaining 4% of Monolith Soft's shares, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary.
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.
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
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.
I enjoyed playing XC3 more than Tales of Arise on my PS5. So graphics are not everything.
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.
Hey throw in some starfox xenoblade dolls and im good.then get treasure to make a dlc for starfox. Then we can vote with our waletts. The zelda team has years worth of models that just need some detailing.... heck they could put twilight and skysword worlds in this one game and it would still be smaller than the original game.
Fixing starfox or having 3 different teams show their vision and then letting the gamers decide would be very cool. Yet they should do something similar with zelda.
What happens when they do a parrelell world based on a dark version of the games I just listed? Then let other studios make the dlc.?
I said this several times.... but instead they. Will ask monolith to design more f#ckin amiibo cause we def need more useless toys lying around
seems nintendo cant cope. all these different studios are making nintendo games... what are nintendo actually doing?
This is good news, hope ninty accepts that offer:)
Meryl, what are you talking about though? The WiiU was revealed in 2011 and launched in 2012. If the Nx is just unveiled next year but launches in 2017, that's 5yrs of WiiU being on the market. Which is well within a normal console life cycle for Nintendo. GC had 5yrs on the market too, not any longer! Mario Galaxy 3 would be much better suited to launch for the Nx and let Zelda be the WiiU swan song.
