Den of Screenshots (Part 1)

I agree there is something ineffably friendly about the N64.

Damn that shit ain’t gonna look nearly as good on my PS4 is it

Pseudo-4K amps the pics a bit along with slight color correction from HDR, but really, playing on a base PS4 it’s very close to the same level of performance and still fuggin gorgeous. Imo depth of field/volumetric lighting seem like the only things that take notable hits, occasionally. Helps they have a strong Photo Mode (I need to check out Death Stranding’s)

hzd sort of feels like the bigger and better and prettier thing i don’t want to acknowledge in comparison to my modern faves (e.g. botw)… nes ninja gaiden 3 and its nes lushness compared to ninja gaiden 2’s sublimity.

Floating around frozen actions in scenic panoramas = one of my favorite bonus chills

That one with the grazer is actually after dealing with some rowdy dudes, I haven’t seen anything else glitch like his sudden death hangtime.

Breath of the Wild looks much better, in my opinion. Horizon is better-than-average at setting up vistas but falls into a lot of ‘nature overtaking cities’ post-apocalypse tropes that have been oversaturated recently. Breath of the Wild is consistently better than anyone at shaping the terrain into interesting, surprising, beautiful shapes (real level design in terms of pacing and reveals; watch how they build blockers to funnel players despite letting them clamber over everything), and they push a few novel observations through effects – the way grass, fresh from rain, is blindingly bright if the sun peeks out, the way a specific type of shallow marsh pond holds lilies, the color of a very specific type of sunset on red cliffs.

I feel like at this point a lot of the bells and whistles next-gen consoles will be able to offer are going to be moot because my TV is from like 2010
