Then they should at least be not so greedy and give GF a few more years for development.GF will likely improve on the open world and the gameplay loop for it with the DLC, latest with the next mainline game.
I don't think it's exaggeration when i say that BotW, with it's sublime open world, would've been very different if it didn't have the luxury of at least 5 years of development and constant refinement.
Heck, i was even sure the next mainline Pokemon game wouldn't even have anything open-world or even open-segments like Arceus.
Not in terms of performance and especially not on SwitchSonic team may kinda suck at game design but they make great visuals.
Performance issues aren’t a “controversy”.You can tell its pokemon release season lol. The internet is ablaze, GF is trending, and the pokemon community is divided. I knew a pokemon game without "controversy" would be impossible. Good times.
Cant wait for tomorrow.
The Pokemon machine isn't slowing, there are too many interdependenciesThen they should at least be not so greedy and give GF a few more years for development.
Thats why its in quotes. Its a jokePerformance issues aren’t a “controversy”.

Yeah a friend let me borrow for a bit, my copy comes tomorrow.

They put their ”seal of quality“ on it though lolNintendo has zero input in this. This is all between GF, TPC and Creatures Inc.
And Game freak made a switch game at the start of this year that look better than the modern sonic team gamesWell Sonic team hasn't focused on making Switch a priority. But even looking at stuff like Sonic Unleashed or Sonic Generations or reaching back to Sonic Colours on the Wii they have always delivered solid looking games and the performance can be iffy sometimes but nothing game breaking lol. Sonic team makes more than Switch games. If anything, the fact that sonic team is shipping on 9 platforms and game freak ships on 1 should make it clear.

I don't believe for a second that Nintendo has zero input in this. You don't publish, house and aid a studio with development like they've been doing without having input.Nintendo has zero input in this. This is all between GF, TPC and Creatures Inc.
and thus I'm happy to report that this game has not destroyed anyones hardware yetThey put their ”seal of quality“ on it though lol

Are there any EPD employees credited in Pokemon games?
+1Personifying an entire outlet is an extremely broken way of viewing things. Different strokes for different folks. Look no further than their 4/10 rating for Frontiers followed up by a video from two other editors who liked the game.
NL is actually one of the better outlets in this regard since their video reviews are often compiled by a different person who doesn't shy away from tucking their own perspective in at the end of the video, no matter how different it is.

Precisely, if we want things to improve from a visual and performance perspective, then reviewers need to call this stuff out. As they should with any game that has serious performance or graphical issues. I think the industry was willing to give gamefreak a pass at first given their inexperience with 3d console games, but now there should be a discussion about how things can improve. Pokemon deserves better, quite frankly. Its not people picking on a down troddent indie franchise, its pokemon! Lol things should be much, much better.Performance issues aren’t a “controversy”.
TPC is Nintendo, GF and Creatures, so Nintendo is involved and GF and Creatures can't be involved twice
And Game freak made a switch game at the start of this year that look better than the modern sonic team games
Expanding on this a bit with Masuda's own words:Nintendo has zero input in this. This is all between GF, TPC and Creatures Inc.
Source“It’s a little more complicated than that in certain scenarios, like for example, the producing role that Creatures originally held went to The Pokémon Company, and a percentage of the rights went with that so there are certain complications, and it depends on the project, but there is no situation where Nintendo and The Pokémon Company will put pressure on Game Freak or something like that.”
Sadly, the larger pokemon machine dictates it. Anime + TCG wait for no one I guess.I just don't understand why they didn't space out the releases better. BDSP would launch in late 2021, Arceus could launch in late 2022, and Scarlet/Violet could launch in late 2023. That's three straight years of Pokemon titles. It gives time to add content to and fix the presentation of Arceus and Scarlet/Violet without losing any sales (hell, BDSP and Arceus would probably sell MORE) and it helps the reputation of the brand. I don't get it.
Yeah pretty much.Reading some of the reviews, it basically seems like an enjoyable game with blatant technical issues. Isn’t that pretty much what everyone was expecting?
They could have, but they probably want a game out for the holidays each year. Either that or DLC.Sadly, the larger pokemon machine dictates it. Anime + TCG wait for no one I guess.
Though, with that in mind even if S/V was anchored in place I imagine the other games could have shifted?
RT Pokemon LETS GO!!!It’s case next Pokémon game is all switch 2, famiiiiii
Nintendo should sue GF for tarnishing the brand >:^)
Even without Masuda's statement, how could anyone think Nintendo is dictating anything on Gamefreak?
A joint venture funded / financed by three companies != consisting of three companies. It is its own company, and there's a strict deliminiation to the others.
Nintendo is "involved" by being one of the three IP owners, but Gamefreak is a full on third party developer and Nintendo has no saying in their development.
John is cool and all but the whole PLA twitter back and forth really got to him. He's still a little salty from it lol
.... and the character design I hope lolLet Monolith handle the technical stuff for the next gen
Game Freak can still design the monsters and the battle system
Game Freak is like kid in school that has a bad home life distracting them from being able to engage in their schoolwork but no one understands that and instead gives them hell for it so they grow up to perpetuate the cycle and in this essay I willGame Freak is like kid in school that is okay with passing grade

whether or not performance issues are a major factor to a game being good is the controversy.Performance issues aren’t a “controversy”.
