In August this year, The Doctor shared with you the article "The details of the trees in the middle of the trees cause controversy, where do you stand?" It tells the story of a player posting a comparison chart between The Elder Scrolls 4: Annihilation and Pokémon Legend: Arzeus, and the new Pokémon game that will be officially released in January next year actually lost to the old game of 2006 in terms of environmental details!
In addition to "Pokémon Legend: Alzeus", in recent years, Pokémon games, such as "Pokémon: Sword / Shield", "Pokémon: Crystal Diamond / Bright Pearl", etc., the related screens have been complained about by players, many people think that GAME FREAK is a bit unenterprising; and another wave of people think that the game is fun or not and the number of trees, details are not directly related, compared to the game screen, it is better to invest time and energy into the playability of the game!
As pokémon legends: Al Zeus gets closer and closer, some new trailers and screenshots have been released. The doctor noticed that someone had come forward to criticize the game's graphics again, this time not the players, but the game developers in the industry. He raised a question that everyone was wondering: Pokémon's revenue has surpassed the Marvel Universe (MCU), Harry Potter and other well-known IP, why does the game look like a Gamecube game?
As a game developer, this netizen analyzed from a professional point of view: the screen problem in "Pokémon Legend: Arzeus" should not be a problem with the graphics module itself, but the result of compromise dragged down by a poor engine. In other words, the GAME FREAK development team does have a problem, they should use a new game engine, or upgrade the original game engine.
Dr. Ph.D. actually agrees with the above view, because the game "Zelda Legends: Breath of the Wild" also has a wealth of environmental details, which means that the hardware performance of the Switch itself is not the most critical influencing factor. And Zelda Legend: Breath of the Wild does both the game's graphics and gameplay, so that's no excuse for Pokémon Legends: Al Zeus.
Saying that Pokémon Legends: Al Zeus is like an NGC game does have an exaggerated component, but the graphics performance of several new Pokémon games in recent years is indeed a bit outdated! From the current situation, the doctor believes that GAME FREAK does not solve the problem of game engine upgrades very well, and the game screen and playability are not contradictory.
Knowing that its own game graphics are outdated, why isn't GAME FREAK in a hurry? In fact, the doctor shared an article "Questioned and complained by players, why do Pokémon game developers still go their own way?" " analyzed in detail. Today's Pokémon newcomers haven't played previous games, and today's products give them a complete Pokémon experience that they're willing to pay for. The high sales of Pokémon: Sword/Shield and Pokémon: Crystal Diamond/Brilliant Pearl made developers feel unnecessary to upgrade the engine.
There is only one "Pokémon" in the world, the so-called rotten money can still be eaten for a long time, and the current data tells us that fans still pay the bill. Maybe only when most fans are not satisfied, GAME FREAK will keep up with the times!
