Conclusion I cannot call this playable by the definition given in this repo. I would say its completable, but not enjoyable in the sense of delight. Currently, much of the charm of the game is lost on invisible stuff. It could have something todo with translucent things, or with light or with unimplemented texture formats.
The onion (pikmin ship)
- Does not emit a soft light where you can stand to summon pikmin. There are other broken lights just like this: the popup mushroom in a cave.
The Pikmin
- You cannot see the spirits of the pikmins leave their body (major indication of loss).
- The Pikmin do not glow.
- The pikmin attacks do not show the impact flash both the orangeish attack on enemies or the purple on fungus in day 1 first captain area.
The captains (the players)
- The whistle range does not get shown. Its annoying because the whistle range in this edition is huge when fully extended. Also an possible annoyance when playing 2 player (potential funbreaking). As one of the two players could tend to whistle all Pikmin away, leaving the other with no pikmin.
- The captains do not have a colored glowing dot on their antenna which looks a bit silly.
Predators attacks (enemies)
-
The Pyroclasmic Slooch (flame slug) fire trail does not show. Basically this is gameplay and immersion breaking. It is very comedy like at times and a huge shame in the beginning.
-
The Bearded Amphrats (dog with tail) static electricity does not show. This is more palatable than the invisible fire trails
-
Skeeterskate's (water strider) water attack does not show. Again this is bad because you and your pikmin can get hit by invisible stuff.
Basically the three base elements are broken.
- Predators do not show their ghost upon dying either.
Particles
- The mushrooms in the first day first captain are supposed to give of yellow cloud of spores when popping (killing them with pikmin)
- Enemies dont emit any particles aswell on dieing or if the enemy has some particles like a phosbat.
Holograph
- Data files (yellow holographs) scattered throughout the game are invisible but the light they emit can be seen on the ground. This makes it so you get a popup-infographic with sometimes useless tutorial while exploring or fighting. Also potentially makes it harder for beginners to grasp all the mechanics. Or people can miss story elements.
Environment and as it happens res scaling
- Water borders are jumpy and it looks wrong. This only seems to happen in 2x res scale. (It is present on title screen aswell.)
- I think the HDR scaling issue is still there.
The end of day screen
- At the end of a productive day (collected fruit), you can not see the fruit press\fill cannister animation. It is supposed to be rewarding.
Crashes It could crash at random or when building a new shader and or pptc or something but it's rare enough.
There could be other things but those really stand out.
