The graphics of Pokemon are ugly. You'd think such a big franchise would get the best graphics out I the system. But hey it is a step forward for this franchise, about time it entered modern times.

It's not great but should look okay on the small 3ds screen. If its the same devs this is like their first full 3D game.

So everyone missed the Durango specs from a Chinese guy? Probably devkit specs

  • Eight-core CPU clocked at 1.6gz
  • 8gb RAM
  • 8880 GPU
  • Windows 8 kernel specially os
  • 640gram weight hard drive.
Sounds awesome. Day one purchase for me. Time to start putting some money aside for one. Grinning

I sure hope that the scoop in Famitsu is Final Fantasy XIII Versus and Dead Rising 3. Those would be totally awesome. Grinning

Wth? Got to the Indian section in ac3 graphically it's much better here shadows are still bad but less noticeably so. Weird that in a larger environment with bigger draw distance there is better performance and textures, lighting etc. I guess the reduced npc count helps. Hunting is interesting, why are all my padres suddenly assholes now?

Anyway, game is showing more promise now. Hope Haytham reappears.

Their first full 3D game was on the PS1 and it was called Click Medic. Though Nintendo said they focus on graphics last so I think all of their developers work the same way. They have minimal graphics until they are happy with the gameplay then they make the game look good.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

I've seen Click Medic, you can hardly call that a full 3d engine or game.

Pokemon has never really been about graphics. This game looked fine to me. Pretty much on par with what I've seen in the pictures of DQVII. So that leads me to believe that the game will be rather large in scale (god knows DQVII is the game that never ends), and at this stage of 3DS development that's sort of the max graphics for epic scale games.

Yeah, Pokemon hsa always looked pretty bad except for the Pokemon themselves. The same seems to be true of this one.

Ok I'm totally getting upset with Nintendo now, it's been almost two full months since Wii U launch and not one new game in the E Shop?  No new good games at Retail? WTF? This thing is flopping around like a dead fish...

WTF Microsoft?

This is only a proof of concept video, not actual completed tech. Looks like it would make you go blind. Distracting much?

So impatient.

Ever consider changing your stache-atar? Everytime I come on here with morning wood & see that, it makes me shrivel.

If a hooker doesn't have STD's then she's no good. Just saying.
