Air_Delivery Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Is anyone else bothered at how bad TotK graphics are? Those ground textures are straight out of 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first it took some time to get used to the visuals but now I'm really impreciating the art style and vistas. It can be an absolutely beautiful game and I'm very pleased technically. Of course I'd love Nintendo to have more horse power but from what they built from ancient hardware is nothing short of amazing. The visuals look beautiful to me.

I wish it looked prettier and ran at a solid 60fps but the game is so good, I’ve gotten used to the visuals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that frame rate, aliasing and ground textures are horrid. In fact because some of the game looks really good it really clashes with how bad other aspects look. Thats some N64 level textures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I can attest that the game looks great minus most of the ground textures on emulation at 4k with AA at 60fps and internal scaling + fsr removed via mods. The switch only has so much vram, textures were never going to be universally great, they have to pick and choose. That being said, if you’re playing a switch game for graphics you’re doing it very wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPU is more important for emulation. Pending that you could probably do 40-45 fps + VRR/GSync @ 1440p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably 30 hrs in. Constantly having to manage, switch, fuse, loot weapons has never been 'fun' for me but there's enough good that outweighs the bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, my weapons do break but it's not even close to being as bad as it was in BOTW. I want the master sword! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part it’s gorgeous when emulated. When the textures are covered with grass and objects you can forget you aren’t playing some current gen Nintendo game almost. It’s only some rocky areas that are nothing but those drab textures where it looks super dated. But honestly we are so spoiled playing it this way I feel if I complain about it at all someone is going to come over and beat me up.

Brings back memories of playing Turok on N64. I'm guessing emulating it on the PC is the way to go Turok targeted 30fps at the time, and was one actually of the better ruining games of that gen. Only with explosions and such could it buckle down to the teens. ToTK maintains 30fps pretty well, but can dip down to low 20's with Ultrahand though (double buffered vsync), so I can see the comparison. I'm kind of okay with it, it's doing so much at times, it kind of has a classic game slowdown feel to me. OoT was only at a 20fps locked.
