Junichi Masuda Confirms That the X&Y Overworld Will be 2D Only
Quote:
Well, this is kind of a surprise. I mean sure, this has been speculated about quite a bit, but I never actually thought it could be real. Personally however, I'm not too disappointed about this. What about you? EDIT: Ok seems there's been some confusion. The games will still be set in a 3D environment using fully 3D rendered objects instead of sprites. All that this is means is that the 3DS' autostereoscopic 3D feature (3D without glasses) won't be utilized in the overworld. That's it. Hope that clears things up. |
Not sure if this is a good or bad thing...however hopefully it'll mean the framerate for the Overworld will be higher than the battles...
|
Can someone explain exactly what overworld means?
|
The map area. As in almost everything except for the battle screen and arguably the menu if it isn't gonna be exclusive to the second screen.
|
No, I'm not disappointed at all. The graphics alone are enough for me to be satisfied with. If it means improving the framerate, then I'm all in for it. Graphics are one thing, but efficiency and performance is what's really going to matter in the end.

I'm expecting some cutscenes to be in 3D...or at least I hope so. |
to me 3d is just a kind of fluff and only strains eyes...so no i dont really mind
|
Still not completely sure what they are talking about, so let me ask this question instead.
While moving your character will it be like the other pokemon games where it is just a little person running around, or will it be similar to Pokemon Colo and XD still? If it is still similar than Colo and XD, then I do not mind at all. However, if it is like all the other pokemon games like BW/BW2, then I will be a little bit disappointed, but not much. |

More beautiful graphics my ass, the overworld is pretty meh in general. It lacks detail, lighting, and proper textures. And they're also using blob shadows. The only thing good about it are the character models, which don't have many polygons to begin with. I've seen way more graphically intensive games on the 3DS which can easily use the 3D effect without any performance drops or anything. (See: Kid Icarus Uprising)
It has got to be the frame rate, no doubt about it. But Game Freak always been terrible in the technical department. (Which isn't an excuse in the end when they have the money to hire talents.) Kinda amazing how third parties can utilize the system more than GF who are familiar with handhelds. I'm extremely disappointed because I generally use the 3D but it's not really a deal breaker. Still a ****ing stupid excuse out of Masuda. |

Kind of disappointed the overworld isn't going to be 3D...GF delayed Gen V's transition into 3D and yet they still haven't fully got into it... |
Seems a little odd, but I'm not disappointed. I almost always leave the 3D off, but I'm hoping for some nice 3D cutscenes none-the-less.
|
Then I am slightly disappointed, but I guess a lot of people who didn't like the idea of 3D will be happy. They could have shown that in the trailers instead of getting everyone's hopes up.

Woah before you freak out, lemme explain. The game will still be in a 3D environment, it's just that the 3D feature (autostereoscopic 3D) won't be utilized in the overworld. The trailers are accurate, don't worry. |

To me the 3D still feels kind of weak...at least compared to the home console games...

As long it is 3D environment or three dimensional objects and characters I couldn't care less. I don't use the 3D function anyways.

I hope you're right though and they do fully stereoscopic 3D this generation (or the next if the rumor of all Pokemon being in the game is true...as it could eliminate the chance of RSE (and possibly RG remake remakes), and even sequels if true...) |
This is probably an attempt to make the game better for the target audience, which has, since Generation V, become infants.
