Hopefully, they improve the resolution before release, but we'll see.

porkChop2499d ago

You never know. They might. Nintendo was aiming to bring Zelda up to 1080p/60 before launch, so I don't see why they wouldn't try the same here.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2499d ago

Splatoon 2 was 720p 60fps earlier this year now it's 1080p 60fps.

freshslicepizza2499d ago

Nice to see Nintendo take game performance more seriously than the others.

The 10th Rider2499d ago

Maybe more games would push 60fps if every single time there's a 60fps game there wasn't people out there bashing how it looks in other areas.

Yeah, 720p stinks, but I'm glad they have their priorities straight. 720p is obviously necessary, then a decent framerate (60 is optimal for most games, 30 is alright for some), and then lastly the rest of the graphics.

If developers constantly prioritize other areas over frame rate then we will never see 60fps become the norm because most developers will always use any extra power given to them to push the visuals.

TekoIie2499d ago

I'll mostly be playing in handheld mode so 720p is not a huge concern to me.

I wouldn't be surprised if at launch its been bumped up to 1080p tho.

AZRoboto2499d ago

Are you not able to take 5 seconds to spell your 6-word insult correctly?

Ephemeralespoir2500d ago

All the more reason for it to be goty

81BX2499d ago

Idk. To me this didn't feel like a Mario game. The trailer almost felt like they were trying too hard to change the game.

Vegamyster2499d ago

It looks like a true successor to Mario 64.

WilliamSheridan2499d ago

Game of the year? No way. Zelda probably six that hands down. Mario is like top 50

The 10th Rider2499d ago

The 3D Mario series is one of the most acclaimed game series out there. The average metacritic score is like a 93 . . . 94 if you remove 3D World, which was a bit of an anomaly.

WilliamSheridan2498d ago

Over inflated meta critic scores don't make it game of the year...like I said, Zelda wins over this one easy

Omnislashver362499d ago

Honestly I'd rather play at 1080p30. Those jaggies are incredible.

The 10th Rider2499d ago

Nope. 60FPS all the way.

Most developers should be pushing for 60fps in their games and it's sad that people push visuals to the point that there's devs that would rather release a game with frame-rate drops below 30 than to cut back on the graphics.

Omnislashver362499d ago (Edited 2499d ago )

Just imagine if they made a PS4 level console. We'd have 1080p60, AA, 50-100% better graphics, and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

The 10th Rider2499d ago

It all depends on priorities. Nintendo often (not always) pushes 60fps. Elsewhere developers are dealing with consoles even more powerful than a PS4 and many are prioritizing 4K over 60fps.

bluefox7552499d ago

Normally I'd disagree with you, but Nintendo seems to be allergic to anti-aliasing, and those jaggies are pretty rough.

Shuckylad2499d ago

I like them. Always have.

The 10th Rider2499d ago

They are pretty rough, but I'd still take frame rate any day.

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers14h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola6h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn6699h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle9h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors: "I deserve a lot of criticism."

Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.
