Pikmin 4 - DF Tech Review - An Unreal Graphics Boost For Nintendo?

Рет қаралды 125,146

Күн бұрын

A tech overhaul is afoot at Nintendo with Pikmin 4 making the jump to Unreal Engine - doing away with its in-house engine. The results impress: it moves to a dynamic 900p, boosts lighting and material quality and adds a host of post-effects to the experience. All round, the result is one of the Switch's best looking releases.

Going from pikmin 4 to pokemon scarlet this week almost killed me. Idk how one of nintendo's smaller IPs outplayed the biggest IP in the world, but it made me appreciate their work on pikmin that much more.

Here is the issue with Scarlet: It was made by Gamefreak. They have the ambition, but neither the developers and time to fully realise it. Oh, they are also making games for third parties spreading their developers even thinner. The only Pokémon games that felt like finished games were Pokémon: Let's Go (made by Gamefreak) and the Diamond/Pearl remakes that were not even made by Gamefreak.

@jcnba28 10 ай бұрын

Pikmin 4 had like 10 years of a development cycle. Pokemon had like 2 years so it was clearly rushed.

@Nuvendil 10 ай бұрын

@@OzzianmanGamefreak definitely needs to outsource the technical side of thigns to another studio. I would probably go with Monolithsoft and make use of Monolithsoft's engine for their open world games. Or the Tears of the Kingdom engine. They can keep a lot of the asset creation, game design, and art direction stuff in house. They just have got to stop trying to develop their own engines cause they are just bad at it. They could then split into two teams who alternate on game releases, like Call of Duty does, to give each game at least 3 or 4 years in the oven. These feel like the best solutions imo

I think this game looks phenomenal for a Switch game, but there's one area I think was heavily downgraded from Pikmin 3, and that's the water rendering. Go play the Twilight River level in Pikmin 3 (or just skip to 3:31) then come back to this and you'll see an immediate difference. The water rendering in 4 is fine, but 3 has probably the best shallow water rendering in any game.

The game is very beautiful, it kinda solved my only real issue with Pikmin 3's visuals, that being that the overall texture and gemoetry was inconsistent, a lot of it looking outstanding but sometimes barely better than the first 2 games, probably becasue of the game originally starting development for the Wii and maybe keeping assests from that build. Here on Pikmin 4 everything looks with a consistently high level of quality on texture and gemoetry.

@Millahtime 11 ай бұрын

I had NO clue Pikmin 4 changed to Unreal Engine. I genuinely thought it was Nintendo's engine just with 10 years of improvements. I think that's a testament to Nintendos modeling and art design prowess. This doesn't look like a typical UE game, it really does look like a Nintendo game. And it's absolutely beautiful. Amazing looking game for the Switch. Just boggles the mind that we have games like Pikmin 4 and TOTK running FLUIDLY on a handheld built with 2017 hardware. I mean we're 6 years into the Switch, and I still never take it for granted just how amazing it is to have such high fidelity console games on a handheld system.

Probably. With the Switch, they seem to be crumbling under the weight of increased development costs (time, staff and resources, not necessarily money) so moving to an engine that streamlines a lot of the busiwork would allow them to make better looking, more ambitious games at a faster rate. There's really nothing special about the 'Nintendo Engine' that is lost with the move to UE4. This still looks unmistakably like a Nintendo game, only now with anti-alising *THANK GOD.*

Basically made the biggest leap in visual presentation at the cost of potential problematic resolution issues. But it really, really shows how hard Nintendo can stretch the absolutely ancient base hardware that the switch was made with and get something good. UE4 doesn't feel it's just there as a shortcut, it actually feels effectively used to create the most visually stunning Pikmin game to date. (Even technically is the most auditorally stunning as well, literally the most dynamic the series has gotten.) And no matter how you feel about the potential downgrades in certain respects the small sacrifices done for the game to look this good as a whole for a portable device, is literally classic Nintendo.

Oatchi doesn't grow and become ride-able until you've rescued at least 1 Castaway, which would happen on Day 3 at the soonest. While he only learns to swim after he's struggled in the water and grown. (2 days after struggling, to be specific.)

This game is absolutely brilliant. I have terrible ADD and have tried so hard to get into the last 3 games, which I own, but always strayed because it couldn't keep my attention. Boy is this one different! They essentially took the formula of a metroidvania, simplified it into bite sized chunks and then added in the Shrine (botw) and Cave (totk) concept from Zelda to give you constant satisfying breaks from the timer and outside world. Both are equally as engaging and rewarding while not getting stale as you're always progressing and unlocking new things. It's honestly the perfect formula, and I haven't been this deeply engaged in a game since 2017 with BOTW. Bravo Nintendo!

This game is begging for a Switch 2 upgrade. I've played it through "other means" at 4k, and it looks incredible.

I've never played the game, but it does remind me of Lemmings from back in the day, so maybe I'll make this purchase on the latest version.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Outdoor Toy Story Zone would make an interesting comparison for rendering miniature detail

Silly question, but water droplet transparent and lambent Pikmin would change it too much?

As amazing as this looks, it’s a shame to see 1st party games not use a native Nintendo engine - would that not have allowed them to hit full native resolutions or is this no longer the case?

i think it one of nintendo experiment using unreal engine just like Yoshi game.. most of their other game using in house engine.. as Nintendo dev also learning Unity engine and Unreal Engine too..
