![]() Low resolution 2D art is everywhere, while texture art used for larger surfaces is usually very crudely tiled, with obvious and unsightly repeated patterns. Textures in general are pretty bad, both in terms of artwork and asset quality. Violet makes use of some pretty harsh normal maps to add detail here, clasing with the game's generally otherwise low-frequency aesthetic. At a distance, the environmental assets look at their worst, stripped of most detail and completely lacking shadows. Scarlet and Violet are bland and extremely basic-looking: environmental assets are of a low quality with basic geometry, ugly tiled textures and simple designs. There are so many glaring technical problems that it's going to be difficult to cover them all, but the most fundamental issue is the poor visual design and asset quality. Our own analysis is damning: the new Pokémon release has problems across the board - and it's actually in comparisons to Pokémon Legends: Arceus that we begin to see just how much of a backward step this is.Ĭutting to the chase, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet simply do not live up to the standards of other Pokémon titles. Almost every review mentions major technical issues, and players have documented countless areas of concern - from poor image quality and frame-rates to fundamental problems like game-breaking bugs. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, however, seem to be qualitatively different. ![]() ![]() Newer titles have oscillated between simple isometric 3D games and more ambitious, open efforts, but none have particularly impressed. ![]() Recent Pokémon games haven't really been known for their technical sophistication.
