anyone else bothered by the graphics?

[Bitty]

Oddly enough I didn't like the colours and textures when I first saw the trailer but then a few months after I went back and rewatched it and now I like it? I don't know why but no I do actually really enjoy the look of the game.

I feel like it's not really the color that bothers me, rather the lack of texture. I'm used to playing Animal Crossing on the Gamecube so when I look at this newer game it looks overly smooth and it kinda bothers me.

Kinda feels the same.
To me, even the motion in NL sometimes feel too smooth when I play after some weeks/days of break.
I love pixel-y design of WW a bit more than NL's. So NH's look uncomfortable to me so far as I've seen.

Nope it looks way better than any previous game, especially with a more coherent colour palette. I just would have ditched the rolling cylinder effect introduced by Wild World.

I actually really like the graphics, but I do agree with what you're saying. I don't see fo animal crossing as a "dark" game, so it doens't bother me that it's mostly bright and cheerful. Night time and rainy days are all the darkness I need from animal crossing.

I play Animal Crossing primarily because of its low pressure, free-roaming, cartoon-esque graphics. Anything more, and it wouldn't appeal to me.

i love how simple it is yet so refined looking cuz of how they've implemented shading

The graphics seemed off at first, but they quickly grew on me within a few watches of the trailer.

I don't feel bothered by the graphics. It feels cleaner. I feel like the darker palettes will show a little more when it's raining and during the evening since the trailer has mostly show it in the morning / afternoon.

When I first saw the look of the game I kind of went into shock because, yeah, it didn't look like a normal Animal Crossing game. But now, like seven months later, I'm used to it and excited for it.

So the trailer from the E3 is not the finished product. I think they will adjust a few things so it will look even better but I like the graphic already. It's bright and nice. I love the rainy weather! It looks beautiful.

 

[moo-kun]

Ok so I'm getting used to them now and actually really LOVE the way it looks! Sometimes you need to settle （＾∇＾）
I love how detailed each character is and the textures and shadow detail! I'm falling in love more and more each day!!! ☆〜（ゝ。∂）

 

[Blackreach]

I'm pretty sure we're gonna get used to everything, plus it will look awesome at night!

 

[Fuzzysaurus Rex]

I thnk it looks great though some darker colors here and there wouldn't hurt. The only thing I'd like to change is the rolling pin camera- never been a fan of it.

 

[cicely]

The first trailers looked way too washed out for me, but I think the game looks great now.

 

[silasthevillager]

I like the bright pastels.

 

[Xara]

i actually really like the graphics; its one of the main things i’m excited about

 

[rezberri]

i feel like my eyes are broken because the colors don't look very pastel-y to me. they look decently bold, like they're not very vibrant but that doesn't mean they're pastel?? either way the colors are very lovely. i also didn't really like the graphics when i saw the trailer during E3, but after looking at the screenshots and rewatching videos i've gotten very used to them. they seemed weirdly textured (especially the hair) but now i can't go back to acnl's graphics haha

 

[jcmbangor]

As long as we can adjust the settings! I can't play when things are too bright! Sometimes I find my 3DS screen is too bright on brightness setting [1]!!!

I think you're right about the over exposure too! I know we're on an island now but even Kapp'n's island wasn't this bright!
Also yes I prefer it to be more on the pastel side, I'm not afraid of bold colours but my eyes are ｶﾞ-(|||oﾛo)|||-ﾝ

I prefer my brightness at about 50%...so this could be good news as it really helps save on battery power and the eyes. There was also a power saver mode in new leaf which I hated because it really reduced the detail and colors in the game.
I am hoping for some controls as well.
Btw...I love ALL the pre release graphics I've seen of the game...I am so excited for this game Id take it in Black & White if I had to!

 

[Nougat]

I've watched the available footage again and I don't think it bothers me.. I hadn't really noticed even! I think it'll be fine

 

[Hanif1807]

The graphics were kinda bothered me to at first, but as the development went, i started loving it
