3:00 Gamedev here. No, applying cel-shading doesn't actually improve performance. In actuality, it reduces performance, but only by a tiny, unnoticeable amount. In simplified terms, cel-shading is rendered in addition regular shading. Essentially regular shading is calculated, then anything below (for example) 50% shading is re-rendered at 0% opacity, and anything above 50% is locked at 50% opacity. Adding cel-shading is a stylistic choice that actually requires effort put in to alter it from normal shading, not the other way around.

In short, Cel-shading doesn't improve performance, but it can make low-detail assets look more appealing.

Secondly, Breath of the Wild's textures are not low-res. They need to be high-res in order to have the crisp detail, even if the color-count is low. Otherwise the decals on the clothing would appear choppy and pixelated rather than painterly.

Performance is less about graphics, and more about loading and unloading unique assets, combined with the complexity of said assets. The reason Breath of the Wild will probably run better on Switch than Sonic Frontiers has nothing to do with graphics, but rather because Sonic moves faster than Link, therefore more assets need to be loaded in a shorter amount of time because Sonic is moving from loading zone to loading zone in a matter of seconds, whereas Link can stay in the same area for multiple minutes without the need for spawning or de-spawning game objects. This is the primary reason for why the pop-in is so apparent in Frontiers.

Honestly this game looks better with every trailer. Green Hill is overused but it is a small section so I don't really care. I'm honestly excited for this game now.

1:51 I think the timing is what made that funny.

"Wow, something new! And then more of the same-- ...Oh."

Crazy that a Nintendo presentation—a Direct Mini, at that—has an actual, proper Sonic Frontiers trailer, while SEGA didn't market the game that way for some reason.

[thabreez]

I didn't expect A Nintendo Direct to be the place we received a lot of new Frontiers footage. I thought they'd just say "Yeah! Its coming to Switch this year stick around for more details!"

[sonicgen]

Thanks for what you do Sam! 💙❤️💛

I really enjoyed this trailer, it gave us so much to look at. Altough people aren't that excited for this game, I'm really hyped for it! Keep on working hard SEGA!

1:50 Sam's reaction was priceless and accurate🤣

Also in the direct mini, it was confirmed that Pac is officially back.

third party switch games usually have much lower resolution and locked 30 fps frame rate. From someone that has played a lot of third party games on switch frontiers looks really great for the system I can tell they are doing their best with the system, Another of those miracle switch ports that are made well like Doom Eternal and Dying Light. Given this is a big open world with many effects the switch version looks amazing. Honestly this is pretty much the console version with just a few graphical downgrades and just much lower resolution. There’s no real compromise they did a great job for switch users keeping the game looking great so they don’t feel left out from the other more powerful consoles

The pose that Sonic has in the thumbnail reminds me a LOT of Black Knight and I DIG that! :D

[hybridstudio]

I'm excited but also feel very weird because we transitioned from ign first footage to this banger of a trailer! and don't forget that we might potentially get more Frontiers news tomorrow.

Also, Sonic's aside, you've summoned him and the Pac is finally back.

When the Nintendo Direct gives a better trailer than IGN or the Impressions we had all month..

[zackblade]

Even if the cyberspace are gonna be a combination of new and old, I'm still gonna be pretty happy with it, its not ideal but as long as there are new level themes in there I'm not gonna be that upset about it

[hvcky]

“You can enter new zone called cyberspace”
Sam: Woah what’s this?
Bro…

[kmpkingz]

Mfs get glimps of green hill and loose all confidence

[NoNamex]

I actually think the game looks good on switch. I didn't really notice it until someone pointed it out

[CharlieCreedonWells]

It’s so strange that the footage and music from this one minute trailer seem much further along than what we saw at the beginning of the month. Why did Sega choose to put out all that unfinished IGN First footage???
