>>37770911Upscaled means stretched from the same basic resolution. It's not "upscaled", since the resolution is higher.
There's also massive differences in lighting, and the shader used is different and implies paint a lot more. The way the outlines are handled is also different.
It reuses a lot from SM, don't get me wrong, the models, gameplay and camera angles look basically the same both in battle and on the overworld, but all the improvements they brought took some effort, you can't deny that.
It's improved SM, and hopefully they'll take advantage of reusing some stuff to garantee content or at least framerate.
