Nice meme, boy.
Yeah playing the game on 480p standard will get you that look on a widescreen monitor dummy
Reminder that sage still works
If I remember correctly, there was actually a noticeable upgrade
>>340839798
Such low quality bait, I can't even be assed to find a pic for that. Go fetch it yourself you pathetic excuse for a human being.

Man, a part of me wishes they just did another Xenoblade Chronicles instead.
>>340839798
>Not playing Xenoblade Chronicles X with the picture of the TV set to "Vivid"
You're simply doing yourself a disservice.
If you've been playing it with the picture mode on "Normal" change it to "Vivid" right fucking now.
Bite but for some reason the Wii U screenshot always look less colorful and darker than actual gameplay. I was with you when I saw gameplay and streaming I was bummed out at how colorless it was compare to Xenoblade.
>>340841258
Could you disable that weather and time hud and post it again?
undub when?
>>340839798
while there was an obvious downgrade, posting a screen with a fucked aspect ratio with minimum contrast and color is stupid
>>340839798
The bottom is gamepad footage.

because it's ok when nintendo does it.

Nintendokiddys everyone.
That said, pillars of eternity also looks god awful without a reshade, so meh.
>>340841302
I've been playing this game for over 100 hours and only just discovered the existence of the data packs.
I sure hope they do something to alleviate the horrendous pop in the game suffers from. Physical is bad. Really bad.
>>340841707
hey kiddo, you should really get to bed. you're parents are gunna be mad when you're yawning in church tomorrow
>>340841707
I'm primarily a PC player.
Yeah the sharp edges of models and muddy textures don't go away sure but the game just looks naturally more appealing to the eye.
OP's pic is no downgrade, the three images are all the same, just taken with a different TV filter.
XCX is one of those games you HAVE to play in vivid.
>720p
>30fps
>this is somehow acceptable for a 2015, 8th gen exclusive game
>>340842013
it's mainly on Nintendo for creating such underpowered hardware.
Monolith Soft really had to push the console to it's limits for this game.
For such an underpowered console, the amount of content and the scale of the game's world is quite impressive.
The game world is 3x bigger than GTAV's whole map.
The game really could have benefited from releasing on PC, shame the Wii U's hardware capabilities held it down.
>>340842260
>responding to such boring shitposting
Report and ignore.
Maybe the game wouldn't have flopped if Nintendo released it on the PS4.
Really enjoyed this game but had to sell it before completion because i'm a poor college fucker. now my wii u can play backup games and I downloaded XCX but it turns out to convert my savegame from retail to digital I need the original disc. feels bad man
The world is massive and the art direction is great, music is top notch. What destroys this game is its unbelievably boring and dull combat system. I've never seen a more shitter RPG combat system to be quite honest with you famiglia
>>340843276
If you didn't even complete the story, I wouldn't worry about it. Almost all content, including most story elements, are optional. Do a new run with different classes, different character focus etc.
>>340841317
yeah playing the same games over and over again is fun
>>340843473
Yeah that's what I was gonna do once I'm done with the semester.
>>340842920
and the ps4 would finally have games worth playing. win-win
>>340842260
the map is also empty and has the level of expected from a gamecube game

>I sure hope they do something to alleviate the horrendous pop in the
they do a lot actually and i completely forgot about pop in once i had them installed. Not sure if its all gone but its a lot less noticable. They sure are huge though, dont have much room for anything else on my hard drive.

The only embarrassing thing in this thread is this guy acting like some grade school kid, shitting on others for liking something different. But then again, this is /v/.
The game is good and I love my Wii U but please don't tell me anyone actually thinks the graphics on any of it's games are "good". It's all PS2 tier and I've come to accept this.
>>340840720
I hated Xenoblade's combat, is X's better?
It will look amazing emulated so I want to know if my hopes should be up or down.
>>340845495
It's faster and has significantly more complicated invisible rules. If selecting moves from a graphical menu triggers you, this isn't a game you'll like.
>le ps2 maymay
I don't think /v/ actually remembers what open world games looked like on the PS2.
>>340845674
I just didn't like how Xenoblade relied on cooldowns and you had that auto attack mechanic. It was just really boring, like playing an MMO without the good parts.
>>340845765
This image still applies to X's characters so they're not that far off.
>>340845964
There's nothing wrong with X's characters technologically.
It's the artstyle that's bad, not the hardware.

>>340845765
I don't know man.
>>340845998
And the environment art is good, but the actual textures and shit are still PS2 level.
Compare the cliff face in this image to >>340841174
And make sure you look at the insane amount of banding in X's sky.
It's literally PS2 in most ways.
>>340846104
>360 version
Nice
>>340845964
Well, cooldowns are still present, but they're a little more involved since you can also shorten them, extend them and put together more arts with sequential or situational requirements.
>>340846126
God I want a Shadow of the Colossus PS4 Neo full remake... Or even better PS5.
>>340846183

>>340846104
>>340846126

Way to prove you're a retard.
Even then, the texture resolution is significantly lower than X's and the lighting and geometry are ridiculously basic.
The cliff in your picture has a lot less polygons and detail to it, it looks like a slab with a texture on it.
X's looks better to me.
>insane amount of banding in X's sky.
I don't know why it's in that guy's screenshots, I've never seen that in-game.
>>340845964
Man, FFXII looked so amazing. The story was a bit bland but the world building and immersion were probably the best in the series
>>340846227
Doesn't sound fun, hype is gone.
It's such a shame that I won't be able to explore these environments, they look so nice. The same thing happened to me and FFXIII, I want to see the gorgeous world but the actual game makes my skin crawl.
>>340846232
Just play the game. Remakes are gay and in SOTC's case it wouldn't offer anything worth spending money on.
>>340846378
Keep trying to defend it. Still coming from a guy who loves Xenoblade.
>>340846407
I'm sure there are plenty of other open world games with really deep and rewarding combat for you to enjoy. I hear Skyrim was pretty popular. You should try that.
>>340846378
The SOTC image I posted is only using 2x native resolution, it barely looks better than the game running on PS2 and it looks worse than the HD remake on the PS3.
>he texture resolution is significantly lower than X's
It laughably isn't. X is better but only marginally, the texture quality in that game is horrendous for a system that can run Black Flag.
Anyway I was just saying that X isn't much higher than a PS2 game when you look at the big picture, I'm not trashing it. I personally love the visuals of the game and most PS2 titles.
>I don't know why it's in that guy's screenshots, I've never seen that in-game.
I've seen it in every screenshots I've seen of the game so I don't know about that.
>>340846508
>getting this salty I called out the game for exactly what it is
>>340846648
Thanks for confirming you just came here to break the global rules.
Name a PS360 (consoles which the WiiU is parity with) that looks nearly as good as X
You cant.
>>340841707
Holy shit so this is the power of a consolefaggot...!
If you have the option to improve something, you should use it. No wonder scum like you can't operate a personal computer to play game
>>340845495
It's much more satisfying and isn't as rigid as Chronicles battle system. Much faster and open ended as well.
Wasn't XBX a massive flop due to WiiU owners only buying Mario and Smash bros?
>>340846913
No.
>>340846782
Red Dead Redemtpion, GTA V, Witcher 2, Assassin's Creed 1-4, could probably go on with open world games.
Tons of linear ones look better.
>>340846887
Hope so, that sounds better than what the other guy said.
>>340846782
Red Dead looks better. Dumbass.
>>340846913
Source
>>340846502
Okay, I will.
>>340846562
It's still higher res than the PS2 could ever do, running on significantly stronger PC hardware.
For PCs running at a higher resolution is a breeze, on a console it's a lot tougher. Even PS4 has trouble with 1080p and has to settle for 900p or less in most games.
>the texture quality in that game is horrendous for a system that can run Black Flag.
Only if you don't install the data packs or buy digital.
The data packs fix a lot that's wrong with the textures.
>Anyway I was just saying that X isn't much higher than a PS2 game
I'd say it's on the level of a PS3 game.
Looks about the same if not better than games like XIII.
>>340847048
The environment alone looks much better than FF13
>>340839798
I've been thinking of doing a second Xenoblade X playthrough, maybe a tank build with the shield class. Anyone have any fun ideas for repeated playthroughs?
>>340847048
Resolution has to do with hardware, not games. Don't move your goal posts.
>the data packs
Going to need some evidence of that. Since I've never heard of those that just sounds like a laughable placebo.
I haven't played XIII but I know for a fact that area is the ugliest in the game, cherry pick harder. Despite that, it's still more clear than X.
>>340847194
If you have a couple hours to kill after chapter 6, you can max as many classes as you want without gaining levels by spamming phoenix by the starting area pond. Then you can choose any kind of combination to play at lower levels.
Don't equip treasure sensor gear if you do this.
>>340847048
>PS4 has trouble with 1080p
That's what Nintenautists actually believe
>>340847176
I agree with you, which is why I said "if not better"
Gotta give shitposters something to work with.
>>340847232
>Since I've never heard of those that just sounds like a laughable placebo.
Really? If you knew anything about Xenoblade X I thought you'd know about it.
http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/15487/~/high-speed-data-loading-packs-for-xenoblade-chronicles-x
It increases load times and has less texture pop-in because parts of the game and textures are installed on the Wii U. Part of the low-res problem of Xenoblade is because the higher res textures haven't loaded yet.
>>340839798
Because Nintendo release bullshots like any other developer
Except Nintendrones are so indoctrinated they pretend they don't with a fierce fucking brainwashed demeanour
>>340847431
>The data packs are designed to speed up load times
Nothing about textures, you are full of shit.
This is hilarious.
>>340847463
I don't think Nintendo forced OP to post a very old and deliberately misleading image to start his little bait thread.
>>340842920

>Installs data for skell graphics

>Installs frequently used data, such as terrain
If you think "graphics" and "terrain" don't also include textures then you're retarded. It's 10 gb of data for all of it. Xenoblade X as a whole is 22 gb. It literally installs half the game on your hard drive. Textures are in there.
I played Xenoblade X for a while before installing the data packs, and there was a lot of pop in and texture loading. As soon as I installed it those problems were greatly alleviated.
Again, the low-res problem of Xenoblade is because the higher res textures haven't loaded yet.
i think the Skells should have come faster in the game
>>340847858
They didn't. And that's a god awful excuse for shitty textures that are fully rendered.

AC games are known to be capped on PS4 in order to match the xbone version. Nice try, nintoddler
It looks like ff12.
Never understood why people praised this as if it was some technological marvel, looking like an old PS2 game and running at 720p 30fps.
>>340849116
Yeah get me back to me when you can emulate it past the title screen

The only real issue with this game is pop-in.
Everything else looks gorgeous for open-world project:

>>340850664
>Why is the character so fucking ugly though?
Because they did a very horrible job making the 3d models for characters. I remember seeing some concept drawings for some of the characters and they actually looked great in 2D.
>>340851061
That's ancient material, anon, as is the image posted after it. The short answer is that the first version is prerendered and the second one is in-game and subject to all normal time, weather and equipment effects, as well as reshot in with some slightly different positioning. The upper structures are still in game, for example. You can run around on them. It's apples and oranges.
>>340839798
>internal uncompressed screenshot vs compressed screenshot taken from low bitrate gameplay videos
The game actually looks like the upper image. Still not impressive, though. Playing the game helps, OP.
>>340849382
If they were simply capped for parity then they wouldn't be running below 30fps, idiot
>>340851186
Why though. That's so weird.
>>340851279
>the first version is prerendered
Haha holy shit you're delusional.
>>340850664
>Why is the character so fucking ugly though?
Some presets ugly as fuck. Some looks ok.
That one from the trailer supposed to be Shulk-like character type.
>>340851569
Ah I see. That looks alrightfor a PS2 game. What were they thinking?
Monolith soft at the E3?
>>340851441
What a compelling rebuttal.
>>340851759
It's not a rebuttal. I'm stating a fact.
You are delusional if you think that's CGI. The game was downgraded.
>>340851824
The game has multiple prerendered cutscenes, anon. They still use the in-game art assets.
Xenoblade designers are fucking retarded. Took only the worst parts of Xenoblade to bring into X. Left out the best parts like interesting story, fantastic soundtrack and nice characters.
Was the original Xenoblade good? It's 20 bucks on download, but the trailers put me to slep.
>>340852459
Why wouldn't you just emulate it? Wii emulation is pretty darn good.
>>340844337
HOO HOO HOOO! HOO HOO HOOO!
>>340841450
Is that a dick?
I'd buy it but I'm not interest in other games on WiiU and it wascensored.
>>340840389
It's what happens when you take an original image, wash it out like crazy and then downscale it to 360p, then blow it up to fit that image size.
Final game is pretty close to original image you dumb memers

No. I couldn't force myself to continue after Jade Face. It's boring as shit.

If you have cfw you can just download the undub version. It uncensors the game as well as adds the Japanese audio. To my surprise the English dub wasn't that bad but I still prefer the Japanese VAs.
