Mario Galaxy visually looks better than this.

yeah, that 480p resolution graphics king

My friend, using a highly stylized character against a gritty, high tech background is bad art direction. Atheistically, a good artist strives for unification. This has no unification, therefor, like a bad fakefactory Halflife 2 mod, it is aesthetically ugly regardless of how hard you attempt to sell it.

When a game, or a cartoon, or a drawing, is highly stylized, technical prowess becomes increasingly irrelevant.

This is actually an extremely smart post.

Just for fun

Now thats that HD Mario we been looking for.

That Mario looks like something from a nightmare and will most likely scare small children.

Dude looks like a pedo... Of course he'd scare children.

It's one thing to be visually appealing from an overall technological stand-point. That's honestly the only thing the demo has going for it. It takes a completely different kind of prowess to design a game from an artistic design and Nintendo usually excels at this sort of thing. Mario games, especially the 3D games, always have a certain charm to them and the Unreal 4 rendering just doesn't do the guy justice.

It's the reason why Super Mario Sunshine on Gamecube can still look visually appealing over ten years later. There are some really pretty games out there that take great strides to utilizing it's hardware but end up just looking bland; The Gears of War and Killzone games are notorious for this and they're usually considered to be among some of the most advanced games in terms of graphics. At least, they were whenever they launched; I always thought games like this to be pretty from a technological PoV but in retrospect the games were mostly gray and brown. I'm not saying these are bad games (Mario Sunshine certainly isn't a great game) but there's a certain "feel" that the games I've listed off and this demo doesn't "feel" like Mario, it's definitely pretty to watch but it lacks a certain quality.
