Thread: Is it just me, or does 2.0 look like it was a LOWER graphical quality than 1.0?

and less lags

You need an eye check, you can CLEARLY see that 2.0 destroys 1.0 graphics.

1.0 Graphics are like Super Mario Bros.


2.0 Graphics are like Super Mario Bros 3


Same system.
Better optimisation.
Better art design.

This is a good way to put it. Graphically one doesn't seem superior to another. I will still say 2.0 looks better because of the shadow and texture quality and the environments look more engaging and not bland.

From the interviews with Yoshi, I thought it was basically this:
1) Looks good on low end machines, through optimization, controlling the number rendered NPC's, tricks to make something appear more detailed than it is.
2) High End Machines - OMFG, and OMFG look at all the NPC's I can render at the same time.

Make sure to save up some $$$ and grab yourself a 27" 2560X1440 Monitor.

I vividly recall somewhere Yoshi or someone else mentioning that the gfx engine was being redone so that it would run better on a wider variety of hardware, however, at it's highest settings would actually be more demanding than 1.X.

Kinda screams dx11 to me...

That's not 2.0...

It's a video of a video of Alpha... /sigh

Don't forget the screenshots, and nice post edit.
