>>57686650I know that at least Metroid Prime 4 uses the same models in both S1 and S2, you can count the edges on some things when they were doing comparison pics and the polygons matched.
That game's got a lot more "hand-crafted" vibes than Z-A, so I doubt Z-A's using special models for the S2.
>>57686543Nigga, you spend the entire game in this city, there isn't anywhere else, no other locations. The city doesn't have details at all, no flair, no "biomes", you're going to be staring at the same 3-4 window styles the whole game, the same handful of storefronts, the same roof decorations. The only flair you'll ever see is a couple storefront signs, and weird awnings just attached to a random wall sometimes.
Hell, you don't even climb ladders to get onto roofs, you just run up to a yellow circle and teleport up because nobody at TPC can model a ladder, apparently.
If your game only has one "biome", it should be good, it should be hand-crafted with love and care, or at least passable. The game's also going to be one of the few games people will be playing on their brand-new Switch 2 consoles, the next-gen system whose marketing likes to bring up the whole 4k thing, and 4k is just going to make it worse.
Then again, most remaining Pokemon fans have an IQ in the single digits, so fuck if I know, it might sell trillions.
