No More Heroes 3 Graphics Comparison (PS5 vs Switch)

[@ILLRICARDO]

They could have increased the walking NPC and traffic count on the sidewalk and roads.

[@TheHypersonic55]

It definitely looks a lot sharper and smoother in movement. However, I think it highlights how much the new visual style of NMH3 doesn't hold up as well compared to the previous games. It's hard for me to put into words, but NMH1 and 2 had a wonderfully stylised look in their art direction and use of shading. But this game feels like it's lost a certain beauty/charm that comes with the older character designs and those deep shadows.

[@Fuggettabouttitt]

definitely. although the textures in the older games are less detailed they seem richer.

[@drewhaynes1874]

@@Fuggettabouttitt And this is honestly just a trend with these games. Killer7 before that was EVEN MORE contrasted than NMH1. The shadows were so sharp you could cut yourself on them, and rendering it in higher resolutions has only improved Killer7.

Wow. I finally bought the first game on Switch like 3 days ago, not even knowing this version was coming out really soon. Edit: seems people misunderstood me. I had bought the ORIGINAL NMH on Switch, then 3 days later, I saw this video, and thought about how crazy that timing was.

Even though it runs better and looks sharper/cleaner on PS5, i prefer NMH3 as a Switch title. You can live with the ps3-era visuals + game design philosophies considering portability/hardware limitations. Bayonetta 3 on the other hand I'd love to see in 4K/60....

The PS5 version really shows how pointless and empty the open world is.

[@elistewart3170]

@@drewhaynes1874 @Drew Haynes Nobody said it was the Switch's fault. But Suda was too ambitious with the limited budget and lack of experience with Unreal 4 and that's why they should have dailed it back. Breath of the Wild, Xenoblade, and Odyssey were built around performance over ideas and that's why they look good. This is taking a game that doesn't need to be open world and stretching it out and making it uglier than it is because it looks and plays fine when you're fighting in closed off levels

[@drewhaynes1874]

"I know it was originally made for the switch so suda vision couldn't be realized." Heavily implied it's the switch's fault the game looks bad.... The game could've been made with the ps5's hardware and it still would look just as unfinished and unpolished
