Pikmin 3 Gameplay Montage
- Thread starter grimshawish
- Start date
This trailer is terrible, the guy keeps letting his pikmin getting killed(((
Also I find it worrisome that theres no onions, purple/white pikmin or those number pellets at all in the trailers, it makes me think we just have to find pikmin everywhere on the map instead.
Onions have been replaced by a space ship.
There are White, Pink and Purple Pikmin in the new trailer in the background.

Can anyone see if there's three or four protagonists in the cave footage? I can only count three - maybe you have to 'find' them before you can use them. Like your ship break up, sending the four of you flying and then you start as one and have to find the other 3. Maybe?

I had this on preorder at newegg with the discount they were offering, but I'll probably cancel that and go digital. I want this thing on my system, all the time.
These gifs should be bannable. So hard to watch :^(

Though the wait is rough, I can't even imagine how polished this game is going to be when we finally get it. That Saturday night at 11:59 is going to be the longest minute ever.

It's funny, there's really nothing I want the Wii U for (Not really a Zelda or Metroid fan and Mario has got a bit stale for me)... but I know I'll be buying one even if it's just for this.
Hell, it's what I bought the Wii for
, and I only ended up with a handful of games for that.
Stupid Pikmin addiction.

We need a gif of the fixed lilypads. Especially because that part of the video looked awesome.

I can't believe it's been over 8 years since Pikmin 2 came out.
I plan on picking up a Wii U whenever Pikmin 3 is released. Hopefully in April!

I genuinely feel like I'm in the twilight zone reading the comments about how beautiful it looks and how amazing the graphics are. I mean it's not bad or anything even remotely close to bad, but I feel like I'm not watching the secret video everyone else is watching.
Looks fun though.
Looks fun though.
it's the art style, monster/object design and certain effects
i think everyone acknowledges the textures are sub-par for an HD game

I wonder why they won't say anything about the pink Pikmin (left side). They haven't tried to keep them a secret.
"The hell"? Ah the painfully forced pretend surprise. I've actually played games all generation, 'cause the only way this is impressive is perhaps if I played none at all. I've played games like Viva Pinata, like Banjo, like Ratchet. I know what next-gen games should look like. This game is a up-res Wii title, with some basic next-gen shaders and effects in place. The geometry and texture work is barely up to standard. Character models that are laughable. I mean, shit, it's fine if you think it looks great, but let it go that it's some shocking thing that others don't.
Were you expecting photo realistic graphics for this game?
Jesus Christ, man, could you be more pretentious or is that your best?
And what's with the "I've played more game to compare it to so I know better" bullshit? What kind of logic is that?
EDIT: Or was that some kind of joke post? Seriously, I can't tell.

The hell? Laughable character models? That's the one part of the game I thought was literally unimpeachable. Say what you want about the environments, but the character models are amazing, and that is factual.

Personally I find that some parts of the game do look photo releastic.

Nintendo does like to not talk about things until a lot closer to release. But I see what you mean, they're right there. I wanna know more!

The ground textures and geometry can use work, but the shaders and lighting make all the difference between this and a Wii game.
I hope this isn't an indication of the way their games will look this generation. Not because it doesn't already look nice, but because they can do much better.

I'm simply relating that it's absurd to act as if it's some surprise someone might think the graphics aren't up to snuff. There are a ton of games in a ton of different visual styles out there that look worlds ahead of this one from the PS360 gen. I've played them. Most of you have too. So to see and play those and know a certain bar, and then be surprised when someone else doesn't want to go back to some previous bar?
Please.

will you buy me one for this game. It'll be like you're playing it twice in two different bodies.
Just because we say it looks good doesn't mean we say it's the best looking game ever. Of course other PS3/360 games look better, but Pikmin 3 also looks better than some PS3/360 game.
And this is from something that started as a Wii game. Imagine what they'll do for a game they'll start from scratch.
And I never said most of you did think that. Just the ones acting all shocked when I make a simple comment that I'm not so pleased with the visual bar at the moment. I think I'm entitled to think that considering, like you said, many PS360 games look much better. I think where we might differ is only in which and how many PS360 games look better. But in the end, the bar it's at is not something I'm currently impressed by. I wasn't making a comment on anyone else's opinion when I said I felt it looked mediocre.
Oh, aye. I never said they wouldn't make beautiful games in the future. I was just focusing on Pikmin 3.
Guess I'll add my two cents to the graphics convo. Personally, I think it looks great as a whole, but one simple thing they could do to improve things is smooth over the edges at the bottom of rocks -- it's too delineated right now, making it look very much like a prop plopped down on a set, rather than an organic part of the landscape.
I'm with Ami on this one. Posters shouldn't be shocked that other gamers don't think this is photo-realistic. The environments look rough around the edges, and some textures work is muddy. A PC gamer for example would not find this 'impressive', so it's strange to be shocked that others aren't in love with it.

I think The Wonderful 101 looks better than this, but Pikmin 3 looks good. No it's not totally mindblowing, but it's perty enough. I'm sure Nintendo's actual "built from ground up on Wii U" titles will look much nicer.

Best looking RTS on consoles, bar none. Nintendo does it again! :3
Maybe I have my nostalgia bi-focals on
but everytime I see footage of Pikmin 3 in motion
It just looks like Pikmin in HD... the graphics aren't a huge leap nor as impressive as they were when we first saw em back in tha day
I still want this game cuz it's Pikmin but the graphics don't do much for me unfortunately
Edit:
However I do really like the look of the lighting in the dark areas of this game like in this pic

Wish I could stop having to imagine and that they'd show something that we've haven't seen 0.5-1.5 years ago.

good with gravy
Pikmin 3 does not look impressive to me at all. Banjo on the 360 looks much more impressive overall.
I think it is the look quality of the textures. They Look like upressed last gen stuff.
I'm not a graphics whore tho. I can play both fully modded crysis amd switch to a blurry low fps 64 game no problem.

Looks a bit worse than I expected (could be YouTube's transcoding I guess), although the DOF is a really nice touch. A lot of the textures are distractingly bad, though.
Here's the funny thing...
This game looks gorgeous, Its funny how Nintendo comes strolling in late to the HD party but leaves a good first impression! good art design
What that means is that the next Zelda, Metroid, StarFox, DK, Kirby, etc game we see on Wii U is gonna be pretty refreshing, Its like Nintendo gets to exploit a new/old dynamic
Ive played through Pikmin NPC on the Wii and loved it. Is Pikmin 2 NPC out in NA?
But yeah, I will eventually buy a Wii U for this... We need more varied IPs being released!!

Sometimes I think people forget how the original 2 Pikmin looked. Pikmin 3 isn't some gorgeous work of art, but I think people do give it a little less credit than it deserves
