Pokémon Pokemon quiz/survey: X/Y vs ORAS graphics?

[Pietro:)100]

I've noticed that my copy of alpha sapphires graphics don't seem to be as good as my copy of Ys graphics.
Why is this? Is it because Nintendo wanted to give oras a older looking theme, as it's a remake? Which do you prefer? Or do you see no difference between the two games graphics? I think the oras graphics look kind of fuzzy.

I think X and Y look a little better, but Kalos has all these big buildings and shiny things so the graphics have to look better. They may have toned ORAS down a bit to try and give it a nostalgic feel

 

[Pietro:)100]

Yeah I see what you mean. Kalos is so big and magestic with its huge buildings and landscape

ORAS exploited around with the 3D graphics much more than X/Y did, and it shows.

ORAS has a lot of cinematic qualities compared to X/Y.

I actually prefer ORAS over XY's graphics, they didn't feel so pixelated to me.

 

[Holla]

The graphics between the two are most definitely different. I don't know if I'd go as far to say one is better than the other. It's just Kalos has a richer fancier style while Heonn is more laid back and free. Which makes sense as it matches their respective regions quite well.

Nintendo probably learned a lesson from X and Y. There were some framerate issues here and there in X and Y so they probably adapted to fix these?

I actually like oras more. especially the cutscenes

I haven't actually played as much of Y as I have Alpha Sapphire, I'm already past all 8 gym leaders in AS. ^^; I do like Y's graphics slightly better though since there's no black border around all of the animations, and it's a little bit more saturated in color. AS seems smoother in animation though.

ORAS' region isn't tailor-made to the game's graphics. Plus, you can't customise your character. (I have no idea why...)

 

[Pietro:)100]

Yeah! Thanks for posting everyone Lancetheturtle I agree with you. Why did they leave out character customisation? It was a fun new feature and it was funny to see what others were wearing.

 

[Hyoshido]

They wanted to keep the clothing customization as an exclusive to X & Y, I think that's fair, really fair.

Yep, Triple/Rotation battles would lag so bad because of the framerate issues on X & Y, Triple is just fine on ORAS now, aint had the chance to try Rotation.

Hopefully we won't have so much lag on the New Nintendo3DS (which I am assuming is 3DS with a better processor). <:
