Digital Foundry: Luigi's Mansion 3: Switch Tech Breakdown - A Playable CG Movie on Switch?
- Thread starter chandoog
- Start date
Yes! Waited for that video. Like I explained in several threads, it's probably the most impressive Nintendo title I've seen in years. Here's why:
The best looking Nintendo game ever made!
Almost every little object having full physics simulations is so cool considering the hardware too.

I was a bit disappointed in what's available with the cash
Basically easy mode items
Huh, I thought the game was targeting 60 fps after seeing the offscreen video in the other thread. I wonder if that was just motion interpolation with the user's TV.
That souns like outright trolling, honestly
Can't watch the video right now but i'll watch it later before going to sleep. Can't wait to see DF's opinion on the game.
It wasn't, it was first developed for Wii U as producer stated.
BoTW is by no means simplistic in any way when it comes to its systems tech or graphics.
I have already finished it, great game and very good looking visuals! Stunning i would say, but saying something like "best looking switch game" i mean you cannot compare it to anything else, the game is interior close not something like huge open games.
those people have had awful tastes and opinions for a long time now, no wonder it spawned the cesspool that is Colin moriarty
I think both Greg and Tim play on OLED TVs and if you don't go switch your RGB range to limited on the Switch, games tend to look bad. I had the same issue with Mario Odyssey.
Don't forget that Nvidia is in credits of this game, Nvidia was also in DQ XI S credits. Seems like they helped Next Level Games and Nintendo with technical assistance.
These people must literally have never played a 3ds game. The game can rival anything else on Switch for best looking Nintendo game and stuff like screen space reflections weren't even used much on the PS3/360 generation.
Plus it has a similar attention to detail. There's all sorts of new things people have discovered.
Not to mention the insinuation that Nintendo games aren't "next-gen" because they prioritize gameplay loop over story/visuals/animation is just silly. (And Nintendo games actually typically have top notch animation).
very nice looking game but looks like they didn't fix the framepacing issues on the E3 demo
yawn cutscenes
So? They've played many Switch games. This isn't the first Switch game to release. They should know how it works on their TVs by now.
What happens if you continue to press the buttons like XXX and YYY and XXX and YYY again though?
Here is what Kinda Funny stated:
How in the world is this looking like a hd 3ds game? I played it for 14 hours and it looks stunning.

Been looking forward to this video. It's arguably the most impressive tech showcase game on Switch.
I just remembered this video today and it cracked me up. Kinda Funny is never a place I look to for technical opinions, and this is just a perfect example of why.

I haven't played the game but YouTube videos showed off a good art style but image quality looked somewhat soft. It's like when you use TAA at low resolutions. FFXV is an impressive game but everything had a blurry look on PS4 that you could fix on PC with the right settings.
Yeah, but it's an open play field. A physic based open world game with the best of mechanics of popular games in the last few years. Fun and really good (and partly even very detailed like thunder, metal and stuff), but it didn't really surprised me in a way that I didn't expected, it maybe even more disappoint in some where I expected more. (But it's still an incredible game, don't get me wrong)
This here does something in how it tells you a story and leads you through the game, literally every 3-4 minutes with new tiny cutscenes and conversations, it feels like something Nintendo never did in such a narrative and stringent way before. It reminds me of Naughty Dog and Uncharted in how it moves you through the game with the heavy focus on story and cutscenes and just presentation at max.
I haven't even seen what my cash can be traded in for. I think I have over 10k at this point. My progress has been hindered due to me vacuuming literally everything.
But Luigi's Mansion 2 does exactly this. More disjointed because of the mission structure, but every mission has this
My theory is that they're still overreacting to N64's antialiasing complaints.
The game is a looker, i give it that. The only thing that didnt impress me is the ghosts illuminations compared to how i remember from the GameCube ghost back then.
Mark my words. This game character animation is going to put the future Iluminations movie to shame.
Like I dont think people comprehend here how incredibly the rig of this characters have to be to make it easier for the animation team to did what they did. Next Level Games have gone up and beyond of any cartoony game ever made in videogames. Not even Kingdom Hearts 3 have this kind of character rigs and animation details, they are really well done and their models have clearly a higher polycount, but not to the extent of the the phiscality of Luigi's mansion 3 animations. And we have to remember, all this animation is blended incredibly well so the interaction of character and player is still primordial, thats also masterful programming right there.
Every one and their mother on the animation industry is talking about this game right now. My animation teachers had their mouth fall to the floor when they had the game shown the other day.

The narrative style of LM3 is the same as LM2's, the only difference is that LM3 is a continuous adventure while LM2 is chopped in mission, but every mission is its own little story told in microcutscenes.
If you haven't played, you should, just like LM3 is one of the better games of Switch, LM2 is one of the better games of 3DS
So God of War looks bad. Gotcha.
This is some Kinda Funny level shit right here
Doesn't matter which 4KTV you play on, some Switch games look great. And Luigi's Mansion 3 looks gorgeous, especially later on after you progressed through the first 2 floors.
