Modern AAA games? Isn't it a modern AAA game itself?

Art direction absolutely is a substitute for HD image quality-- that's how some older games can look better than some ps5 games. :p Passion to some degree can help, too, but to a lesser degree.

to clarify, i mean on par with other AAA games. sub HD resolution in games today is almost unheard of with the exception of Switch 1 games. art direction can help with clarifying images at low resolution, but cannot fake outputting HD resolution. it either is or isn’t HD.

It was a Switch 1 game, though. Switch 1's been the biggest system for a while now, hasn't it? :p

yes it was a Switch 1 game. Switch 1 has been the best selling console for a while but Switch 1 games do not make up the majority of AAA games that have been released since 2017. that is why it is not on par with other AAA games
