How come Mario Odyssey looks so much better than 90% of PS4 and Xbone games despite the Switch having vastly inferior hardware?

good art direction is ageless
photorealism is eye candy only for the current generation, it will age horribly later on

It doesn't, you're just a manchild who is impressed by bright colours.
You have the taste of a literal one-year-old when it comes to visuals.

/THREAD don't even give another reason because you'll be wrong..

You're not wrong user, you're not wrong. Even the more "realistic" areas of Odyssey like Cloud Kingdom unironically obliterate every single Snoy shit game. IMO competent devs and good art direction are far more important than system specs. Someone with Gamecube hardware and a good understanding of how to make Gamecube games can probably make a game that looks far better than anything on PS5

Ratchet and Clank on PS4 looks better, and ofc rift apart easily destroys any cartoony games on switch

ruined kingdom looks fantastic and there are no bright colors in sight

B-but I NEED my spees marine stubble

>dark souls level with less detail and a mute color palette

looks better than this

who cares; get a life, loser

It doesn't. Looks like a game for babies. Completely nonsensical designs and over saturated colors to keep the kiddies entertained.

The art direction.

according to what values or standards?

Ruined Kingdom was great, somehow reminded me of Kingdom Hearts

That jaggy ass grass for one.

The screenshot of Ruined Kingdom also has "jaggy grass"

Is this supposed to be impressive? Tsushima, Horizon, Spiderman and God of War kick the shit out of this brightly coloured kiddy crap

why are you still playing Mario anyway? are you 8 years old? adults usually need more interesting mechanics than 'jump on platform'

Art direction

Very very few ps4 games have it

Just stop posting

>Generic and soulless game #2544 better than anything
Delusional

This, I would say even Fornite has better art direction than most of those uninspired copy paste "narrative" heavy games, pic related just took this pic

No.

BB has better art direction than every game made in the last decade combind.

Fortnite has poor art direction too,

Most of this level looks like grey trash though. Nice concept art, nice sky boxes. Thats about it.

>going from DS3 to 2

There's no difference. Its embarrassing that you would even bring up a dark souls game in a graphics thread in the first place.

I'm not that user
>there's no difference
I know Nintendo fans don't play any other games but this is just sad

Because it's a game made as a game, not technological demo movie with muh realism.

DS games have the best art direction

Stop pretending that dark souls graphics aren't all trash, it's embarrassing.

Embarrasing. Go play bloodborne and think about how stupid you are.

Because art direction is more important than the technical details. It's the same reason why Super Mario World is visually arresting whereas Super Man 64 looks like shit.

Art Style and Optimization based on the set hardware to squeeze out as much as possible without compatibility middleware that makes it easier to develop and/or run on several different hardware configurations (or consoles).

sorry about your terminal shit taste user
