a nintendo console getting 3rd party exclusives?!

 

That article is very good.
It actually makes a lot of sense.

 

Here's the trailer.

 

The game looks great!

 

The funny part about this, is that not only the game and the character look a lot like the landscape and character used in the kite demo, but also the logo's from Any Arts Production and Pixel Planet look very much the same

 

It'll run at 30 I'm sure, but it'll be 720p and the graphics settings will be lowered.

 

Nice trailer, I can tell the game is not yet finished, there are little things here and there that don't quite look right. But all-in-all it looks pretty great overall I'd say. I haven't read the book, but my gut tells me the dog dies near the end. That was just the vibe I kinda picked up on from parts of the trailer.

I'm inclined to agree with you. When this current gen started out, Nintendo seemed to be the only one of the three that cared about constantly hitting 1080p with as high of FPS as possible, with most first party titles constantly at 60fps at 1080p. Sony and Microsoft were focusing more on putting out as nice looking graphics as possible, framerate be damned. That has changed since 2013, but that was how it was initially.

 

I still think it isn't on the Switch, but I'm sure they are trying to hit the ball park. I don't think they are trying to be sneaky. They just don't have the money to do completely new and original assets. I doubt this is going make launch. Hopefully they aren't over their heads.

 

That trailer is VERY pretty, it will never look or run that smooth on NS

 

Wow, that is a very emotionally powerful trailer

 

Good environments, but the animations need a lot of improvement. I'm excited to see what the finished product will look like

 

Actually, this might sound dumb, but it's kind of refreshing to see a Dev post a trailer of a very clearly unfinished game from time to time, because it makes you appreciate the end result even more

 

This doesn't seem so interesting, I don't get the hype.

 

No, I completely agree with you. I love seeing unfinished game footage.

 

Not the game that would hype me for Switch, but looks interesting

 

That's kinda the way I see it. But if the final product looks good I'll probably play it. The story certainly sounds intriguing

 

Seriously, there are still people thinking a portable device (with whatever that means for the factor, in power/energy/heat/battery life) like the Switch will compete with the Ps4, even the slim? Think again. It is good to be hopeful but there is a thin red line between being hopeful and being hopeful but irrational. If they manage to pull this kind of experience on the Switch i will be extremely, extremely happy and puzzled, as the hardware (with the recent specs leak) does not seem capable enough. Let's hope though. I can definitely scrap the HDR already though, as Nintendo is known for not adopting standards for years to come (unless Nvidia kick them in the nuts about it). I am expecting the high end parts of the trailer to be impossible, yet the game could be still very nice with a drop in quality here and there.

Also, in case you missed it, when docked it will run in full capacity, while it will run at 40% when not docked. At least, graphically. This is a huge blow to the GPU performance. If what we see in the trailer is even remotely possible on the docked Switch, the portable will need to make a lot of sacrifices to keep the framerate going.
