    SSR makes sense. they're making it look like glossy magazine prints that you'd arts-and-crafts into a diorama, not the real world materials. The complaint that "they don't look like stone" doesn't make sense because that was never what they were going for.

    I am a veteran Paper Mario fan - was raised with the original N64 one and I have played all games many times. I need to say that the 30 frame rate is obvious and kinda spoils the experience for a veteran. For most people it’s absolutely fine and they will never notice. But for someone who has played the TTYD for years, it rubs you the wrong way.
    Visually-wise, the game is stunning. The Origami King engine is heavily used (I’m shocked people thought they would use the old engine) and it’s utilised fantastically! It’s a clear preference tho, I still prefer the original art style in almost all areas. The Origami King is my second favourite Paper Mario after the N64 one, but the seeing its engine to a classic is a bit of shock to me.
    In conclusion, we got a fantastic remake of a classic Paper Mario game. It could be a bit better. Switch offers 3 entries of the paper Mario games and I highly recommend to play all of them!

      @@fastica Yes, I totally get your point, but it also kinda makes no sense, since "remastering" something implies you're literrally restoring/modifying the source material itself. If you're "remaking" it from scratch, it instantly becomes a remake, even if it's a close reproduction of the original, with a few tweaks here and there. In that sense, this game is also "conceptually a remake".
      It's true though that remakes used to be total reinventions from the original, and that the Nintendo remakes, as good as they are, are definitely underwhelming if you're expecting an alternate experience from the original games.

      There's absolutely zero proof or any evidence to suggest that this is "running on the Origami King engine". The gameplay is exactly 1:1 with the original besides the framerate - it would've taken more effort to port all of that to a different engine than it would have to just port from the original source code and massively improve the graphics.
      Metroid Prime Remastered, another Gamecube to Switch port with hugely enhanced visuals, was also exactly that: the original code running natively on the Switch, just with improved graphics. I see no reason to believe why the same thing happened here.

Don't recall nintendo ever caring about graphics over performance, hence i don't know any titles that actually offered performance vs graphics fidelity. Nintendo never cared about wowing anyone with graphics, hence favoring cheaper underpowered consoles but making quality balanced game experiences as the tradeoff.

It's creaky mobile hardware, and no amount of "optimization" is going to change that.

The SSR creates an effect that makes it look more like glossy paper instead of stone or otherwise which the developer wasn't going for such looks to begin with. It's all subjective though I suppose but I feel like it's an objectively insane reason to refuse to buy and play this game while supporting the developers and signaling to Nintendo that we want new Paper Mario games like TTYD instead of just emulating it at 60fps which of course is nice but not remotely needed.

      When I think paper I don't think "shiny" in fact quite the opposite to me it's one of the most diffuse materials there is. Even in universe it doesn't make much sense because "shiny" paper is supposed to be a completely different thing like stickers or maybe reserved for rare items. Also I think it breaks the whole stage play look they are going for because for that you wouldn't want there to be any glare from the intense spot lights.
      Purely from a visual standpoint I think it looks really bad it's distracting visual information to say the least. Even if it is supposed to be a particular real world material having it look good should supersede that and while you might think it looks better if they didn't have it no one would have said anything at all. Take it from me if this wasn't implemented there is absolutely zero chance that anyone would be like "man this sure would look better with some reflections."
      As an artist this hurts me to see professionals making amateur mistakes like this and there is a lot more mistakes than just things being too reflective.

    I assume the floors are just supposed to look like coated paper, which is shiny, that's probably why it's reflective in the remake. I'm also not sure if the problem with the SMRPG dropping in framerate is cuz of performance or if they just had a wrong setting enabled in unity. I've heard that there's some 50hz option that's enabled by default that causes camera movements to be choppy but setting it to 60hz apparently fixes it, from what I've heard at least. The FF pixel remakes and apparently Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble had the same issue, but I heard it was fixed in a patch for the latter.

    1. But X game were 60 FPS!!!
    Another game being 60fps doesnt really means anything if it wasnt contructed diferently, this game has some features that affect the performance far more than any other game, like dinamic lighting, reflections and shadows.
    2. Im mad about the game, so im gonna use emulators.
    Not liking a part of the game isn't really any excuse for piracy. By that extend, as almost any Game is flawed, we could pirate, but you dont see a piracy outrage on SMBW because bosses are @ss, do you?

    A person is allowed to buy wharever it may want to , Futhermore,you aren't the best person to say that if you are gonna disgerard an entire music and graphic overhaul over framerate, meaning that probably would had bought a remaster, the same game but on widescreen and better resolution, thats funnily enough takes much less effort to do.
    4. It was no reason to be 30 FPS
    It was,sadly.
    The recent take IS does to its paper mario games is to put graphics over performance since ten years ago, as we seen with the modern Paper Mario. Sadly the Switch is very dated on this regard and struggles to be consistent on some stuff.

I do not think I am going to buy it, but I will probably ask for it for Christmas, since I like to play a new video game on Christmas. I hope they also remake Super Paper Mario and make the boss battles have a much-needed difficulty increase. You could beat Count Bleck just by hitting him just right and then you would get stuck on him and deal rapid damage until he was defeated. Mr. L (cool as he was) you could just keep hitting him with a hammer with next to no effort to beat him. The only hard part of the game was the pit of 100 trials.

    Play on Gamecube emulator with higher resolution and get the 60 fps gameplay. Better than the remaster on Switch.

    It looks great, but part of me thinks it's a bit weird we're three generations later, but we can't still get 60 fps? Does the game really look that much better than the original? I guess it really shows the diminishing returns we're getting with generational tech leaps. And maybe people will realize that there probably wont ever ve consoles that run everything at 60 fps. Whenever you go for 60 fps, there's a potentially better looking 30 fps game that you're not getting.

      It's the Switch you're talking about, its games look PS3 level, the generation where we still got massive leaps. PS4 gen is where the decline started rearing its head.

    Patches are out for 60fps, but FPS varies a lot. Overclocking will likely solve most, but not all, issues.

      They may make it there by disabling SSR and bloom, though. Switch's main bottleneck is its slow RAM, which reflections and bloom stress pretty hard.

      I’m surprised there’s a patch, I thought the engine only works at 30fps like Pikmin 3.

    In a game about inputting precise commands choosing to prioritize graphical quality over framerate is a pretty baffling decision, even in a remake. It’s not the end of the world as PM64 runs at 30 and the game plays perfectly fine but I’m definitely gonna notice the difference compared to the old TTYD

    I'm not a fan of the loss of the big chunky outlines on materials. It gave the original game a built from cardboard and drawn with chunky pens look, but thats mostly gone with the new style. Reminds me of how they butchered Wind Waker by adding in all that gradiented bloom lighting that made certain surfaces look more like clay than toon shaded.
    Previously the characters and the environments both had the blocky outline around them, but now the character of Mario who still has the blocky outline looks like he's not part of the same world. The trees look like they're pieces of card cut out, coloured card rather than cutouts that have been drawn on.
    Why is it everyone who tries to update these games butchers the artistic theming that defined the original? Its like the Arkham games not being as dark or the Bioshock remastered being less wet.
    As far as I can tell emulating the original (which I still own) is the better way for me to play this.

      Try out the HD texture pack as well while emulating.

    Looks really good but I don't understand how a fully 3D game like Mario Odyssey from 2017 runs at 60fps and this side scrolling paper diorama game can't.

    Not sure how it looks on the switch, but in the video upgraded graphics look aliased as hell because of those thin white lines

    I bet that turning off that weird looking SSR would easily make the game run at 60fps.

    The fact that people claim that games like Metroid Prime look better than this is proof enough that most "gamers" who complain on the internet know nothing about nothing

    An updated version on newer hardware that is half the framerate... I don't understand how Nintendo gets away with that. I've never seen that before.
