CosmicSploogeDrizzleAfter Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's performance issues, the developer is having "conversations" about how often new games release
li10It really seems like Gamefreak just can’t handle 3D games, but they’ve been forced to since the Switch is now the only main platform for Nintendo.
I feel like the games would really flourish if they were taken away from Gamefreak and given to a different studio to handle.
They get like 3 years between each major title, that doesn’t seem unreasonable. If they’re overwhelmed by remakes and side games then they need to outsource those parts, but maybe they’re worried about being shown up by another studio.
TAGMaybe the answer is not to do 3D games. Every indie monster collection clone that I can think of is 2D, isometric, or, at most, 2.5 D. AAA developers need to say that some games work fine in 2D, cut down the bloated graphics budget, and focus more on gameplay.
alternative_factorTemTem is 3D but they had a bigger team and budget than my beloved Cassette Beasts.
I have not played it. I thought that it was 3D graphics with 2D movement and a zoomed out, fixed angle perspective, the same style as Pokemon Let’s Go. That is much easier to do than the full 3D of Sword, Arceus, and Scarlet.
