To be fair we are still in the ps4 era in general with all these devs refusing to drop cross gen development.

This is way worse than late PS3 and nowhere near PS4 anything. Because the Switch is nowhere near the PS4.
But yes, I agree with your general sentiment.
I was being overly generous with the PS4 comment.

I don't think it looks that bad. I liked the look of it. Would like to see more

I hope you can zoom out the camera, which appears to be the case in some scenes in the trailer.

Are you sure? Or are Ulying?
Bad Zinger aside, Pikmin 4, with the Switches install base this may be the best time for the series to get exposure in the series history. Not much of a fan but it's a decent game with a lot of dedicated loyal fans.
It was on the Gamecube and (originally) WIi U, this will be the FIRST time Pikmin is going to launch on a bigger Nintendo system, and their second best selling ever.
I'm curious to see how the masses will react to the release.

I really hoped for some sort of online multiplayer, Pikmin 2 had a solid multiplayer suite and it suits the game, but this looks like a rather classical continuation of Pikmin.
I'm not gonna complain, Pikmin 3 was great, and I expect this will be great too. This is a series that could have died out after Pikmin 2 and after Pikmin 3. That we get a new one is a gift, especially since Pikmin 4 sounds like it had a troubled development.

Looks fine but man, I’m so over these Xbox 360 era visuals.

Let me guess, it'll be priced at 69.99 on old ass PS3/xbox360 hardware.

I pay for gameplay experiences, not texture resolution.
$70 for first party games is the norm now, and I sure like Pikmin more than I like Horizon.

Defend a $70 dollar game on hardware that's ancient and at least 2 generations behind the newest consoles. At least with Sony when they raised the price, it was for their new system.
But hey, Nintendo stans also defend joy con drift.

It's just the cost of first party games in 2023
I dont care that Mario Galaxy 2 was $50 in 2010 even though it was essentially 2001-level hardware...
and I don't care that Pikmin 4 is $70 in 2023 on 2006-level hardware.

So as a consumer you don’t care that you get to pay MORE? You prioritize a company profit than your own pocket? Don’t fall in the loyalty trap. Nintendo would give 0 fuck if you lost all your money and slept in the street tonight.

Looks fantastic! Can't wait to play it.
A lot of warriors are coming out of the wood work to talk out their ass though. Apparently this doesn't even look PS3? Jesus people are fucking retarded.

Same. Just as I would gladly pay 70 for Hi Fi Rush, SIFU, or Pentiment. Great games are worth that price point.

I don't want to pay more, but I understand it.
$50 in 2000 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $75.15 in 2020
lol as a consumer i just want to buy a good game. this looks like a good game. graphics are one part of what makes a game, and these are hardly bad enough to detract from what will likely be a great game if the rest of the series is anything to go by.
such a small minded reductionist view. there's countless publishers out there selling great looking games that absolutely suck for the same price. i'll happily pay the price for this as opposed to the same price for the hundreds of terrible, good looking games we get every year.
graphics are one aspect of what can contribute to a quality game, game prices have never been set relative to quality.

Definitely play Tinykin if you haven't. Cheap as well.

I swear Nintendo reached a point where they said " Fuck the N seal of quality, its ridiculous what we can get away with and not have to rely on even sales down the line, developers put minimum effort and it will still sell. Make sure it looks as similar as it did to the previous installment."
I agree with most things except the "Seal of Quality" was NEVER about actual QUALITY of games it was just a program that tried to downplay Nintendo games that didn't pay their fee to get the proper chip to play properly on the NES. They claimed that those games that didn't have that chip aka paid the license fee could DESTROY YOUR MACHINE!

It's better in so many ways, Nintendo slept and someone finally took over.
It shows that the stupid "Day cycle" gimmick isn't needed, nor is the "juice or you'll die" one.
Tinykin came out of nowhere and is amazing.

I have. It is a great game, but it has nothing in common with Pikmin other than having some dudes follow you around. Completely different style of game.
