If that the price to pay to down-port AAA to the Switch, I understand why so much third-party aren't willing to. It just looks awful, especially compared to Switch first-party output. I suspect Nintendo is funding the port (32gb cart is a hint), because I really doubt CDPK was interested in the first place.
A few years back this was beautiful to no end:
And now this, running at the same resolution and probably with a better framerate, a generational leap in lighting and being a huge open world game, is awful?
I mean, at some point the hyperbole is just too much. Yes, it looks better elsewhere. No, that doesn't make it awful. If you would have been able to enjoy it only a few years ago, then it shouldn't pain you to play it now. Saying the contrary sounds, to me, like an utter lack of perspective.
Fair enough, but then don't argue with me about other aspects.
A page ago the user called me stupid, saying I don't understand backend stuff in games lol
I've worked as a programmer with both Unity and recently Godot (and even Wintermute, Luminaire and GM) and I'm pretty sure I understand these things better than an artist that "has dealt with code before". Don't you think that if you're a gaphic artist you're not really in a position to argue about these things, let alone be agressive to other users about it?
I didn't follow the whole conversation, but I think a technical artist working on a Switch port knows a thing or two about what it means to port a game within the middleware, which I think is what you are arguing about. She's saying that it's only a port as long as it's done within the same middleware, from the same codebase, which is a reasonable way of understanding a port. It's just semantics in the end.
