Thread: Thursday, April 15th Update Speculation

Um, what is that picture of? I can't see it.

just some things i thought would be cool to point out.

also, notice how d/p/p looks UGLY compared to b/w.

That Diamond/Pearl screenshot is much blurrier than it should be; it's misrepresenting the graphics.

Pic doesn't work for me.

Didn't we already get elevation in HGSS outside the Slowpoke Well or is it different?

you know what when i initially saw the screenshots released i was one of the people deriding B/W for looking the same as D/P/Pt but looking at them side by side the difference is unreal, just in the grass and the path. I can't even imagine what the specially-designed areas are gonna look like.

Though the clear shots still are definitely in BW's favor - it definitely looks less tile-ish than DPPt does.

wow... the difference is amazing.

And you can even see the slight drop in angle.

Too bad the sprites look so bizzare among the 3D...

For sure. The grass, in particular, looks a heck of a lot better. The difference between Hg/Ss and B/W isn't quite as pronounced, though. And it does appear as if the B/W landscape actually has much more local topographical variation, which should a bit of an "organic" feel to the overworld. The fact that paths in B/W don't seem to be ruler-straight, with perfect 90-degree angles also helps with that.

Hopefully B/W still has a few surprises to throw at is in terms of graphics... the DS can only do so much, but four years of working on that platform can only have helped GameFreak find ways to optimize performance. I just hope it'll be enough for a generation leap.

Holy shit they actually did get taller and gained feet.

I hope Pokemon Sunday supplies us with new info.

We'll probably get video footage of the home town...that lasts about 6 seconds.

I want silhouettes, or new pokemon
(but we probably won't get it)

Last week, we just had the game titles "revealed".
Probably we will get the same screenshots from corocoro.
