What's funny/odd is that the game footage and trailers Nintendo used to show the game off in the Nintendo Directs and other media wasn't as flavorful compared to some of what's in this game.

Nintendo almost always holds back all the cool stuff. People love to ascribe cynical evil business blabla to them 100% of the time but they genuinely seem to sacrifice showing off the mind blowing stuff in favor of surprising players.

still they should've tried better exposure. i think there is an image of TLOU in this thread that shows bad ground texture, yet it's not being talked about. same situation with this game, close up pics shows bad ground texture, and you cannot have a pikmin 3 thread without comments about texture and low poly.

Well, unfortunately, it seems that they got it backwards this time. With the Wii U launch struggling commercially and a negative image in the community as "not next-gen," maybe holding back was a not-so-great decision. Maybe do the "surprise, bitches! thanks for buying this game" trick in 2014 once the Wii U got off the ground.

Whatever, this shit is out now and exists to be appreciated, and it deserves that.

Looking at these screenshots makes me depressed at how awesome it could have looked with AA, slightly more polys, and better (or more consistent) textures. The depth of field, lighting, and shaders look incredible though.
