>>39386856Your first two points rely on the idea that GF would give their development team support which they clearly didn't do.
They split their teams onto making that "Town" game and the LGPE stuff. They likely only gave them the same amount of resources they give each mainline game, which is fine for 3DS stuff but everything this time has higher graphical fidelity required.
The result they came up with is again, still good. It's still much better than the previous games. But then they added the cut on top of it most likely as a choice from the same higher ups that split the project.
I'm saying the game is fine, the hate should all be going to the execs and Masuda that ran it like shit, made bad decisions, then blamed the quality of the game for it.
>games cost $60 but still use 3DS assets. It's unacceptableDude, don't you guys usually go on about how the models were future proofed and expected to be used in the game?
Beyond those models, the only things being reused are the old pokemon animations, which does suck but again I think that was more an executive order, and the generic character animations which HAVE been updated to accommodate facerig movement since all NPCs this time seem to have full facerigs.
