Graphics

This game is legitimately one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen. I think it's a fantastic example of how visual style is more important than technical power. The team did a stellar job with it, can't wait!

I actually like the graphics. I've always enjoyed Nintendo's graphic style, and so far the switch has been great in all of the games I've played. They upped the graphics enough that you could very obviously tell the difference between New Leaf and New Horizons but it wasn't a total 180 on how the game looked. Fall and Winter are my favorite seasons and they looked amazing in the direct... I'm just kind of bummed I have to play through spring and summer to get there.

Yeah, I've never been a fan of Summer in AC, but I love Autumn and Winter, they're beautiful in all the games.

I think the games look absolutely stunning! A common complaint I seen was the nature of the graphics but I think the way they showed off the games in the recent Direct put those complaints to rest.

I also seen how people thought the grass didn't see very Animal Crossing-like at first, and the iconic shape grass was there in the E3 gameplay, but was muted and way more subtle. In the direct the grass was way more similar to previous iterations. So I think people are happy with that.

Also noticed the lack of patches in the grass, like deterioration, maybe its removed?

I love love love the look of everything! Only one thing bothers me, and it's the villager hair. It just looks... way too realistic compared to everything else. Like, you can almost see individual strands, but Tom Nook doesn't look furry at all. It seems like a weird choice. But I think the hair will start to bother me less and less the more I get to see of the world. It's sooooo prettyyyyyyyy. *_*

I really like the harsh wind feature they seem to have added to horizon, hopefully it won't be a rare event like the harsh thunderstorms are in New leaf.

There's a lot I'm liking about horizons, but there's also some doubts I'm having about it. I get the slight feeling that it's going to be more glam than substance or that Nintendo will make an already easy game even more simplistic thus killing the enjoyment in the long run. New leaf was fun, but it just can't compare to its predecessors in overall enjoyment (at least to me).

Hopefully, I'm wrong and this isn't the case. Hopefully Horizons won't be like a caffeine rush.

Graphics are nice, but I'm really hoping villagers have more to say and personalities are more distinct like in the older games. I'm hoping you town is way bigger and gives you more o explore and do. I won't hold my breath though.

I love how the game looks so far. The use of colours & contrast has never been better. They'll definitely be tweaking things here & there before the release date too I'd imagine.

I love the graphics and the fact that the character's hair looks even more realistic. I even liked the new detail in their eyes now that they look like they have pupils. The Autumn and Winter seasons looked sooo beautiful and the Autumn season that they showed in the latest direct made the sunsets even more beautiful. Everything just looks so real that I will most likely be playing this game every moment I can get. That's means most of the day and part of the night. ^-^

I also really love how the clothing is more detailed and the patterns really stand out. The grass looks like real grass too and I'm glad they have patterns all over now and not in just small patches. This game just looks so realistic that I'm going to fall in love with Animal Crossing all over again. ^o^

I was hoping a Mario kart AC graphics but I fall in love with the game because of the design, the game is truly beautiful, I really love it. I was not impressed the first time I watched the trailer at E3 but truly happy to see a beautiful HD AC, now I can't wait for this game.

I was skeptical after the E3 presentation because I wanted it to be more like Mario kart Ac course... but after seeing this trailer it has really grown on me. Everything is so beautiful and soft. I’m really impressed!!

They have certainly improved since the first presentation.

I am in love with the grahphics I've seen.

I was originally going to get a switch lite with the release of ACNH, but after the trailers like... I feel like I will be missing out if I don't have it playing on a large TV screen.

 

[Sweetley]

The graphics are just beautiful in this game. The details and all those changes here and there, I just love
how the winter especially looks here. It's definitely a huge improvement from the previous games which
I personally really welcome.

I applaud Nintendo for updating the Animal Crossing art in a traditional way. Nothing is uncomfortable in what we have seen. But I was disappointed that they did not ditch the rolling effect that?s been characteristic of the Animal Crossing series since Wild World. They should have gone with a less gimmicky point of view for the camera.

The graphics are absolutely beautiful, seeing animal crossing in HD like this is just...amazing honestly. i cant wait to see the final product since many graphically things are changing
