New features in Super Mega Baseball 3 include a full Franchise mode with free agency as well as player progression, aging, and retirement over multiple seasons. The same is true for the new game, which makes the improved visuals particularly impressive. Super Mega Baseball 2 topped out at 1080p on consoles, including the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X the Switch version ran at 900p in docked mode. A Metalhead representative clarified to Polygon that Super Mega Baseball 3 will run at 60 fps on all platforms, with 4K support available only on PC - just like its predecessor. The trailer’s gameplay footage is in 4K resolution at a frame rate of 60 frames per second. Another key visual upgrade is the introduction of “unique day, night and alternate lighting conditions” for each of the game’s 14 ballparks, a feature that you can catch in action at the very beginning of the trailer. Metalhead touted Super Mega Baseball 3’s “vastly refined graphics” in a news release, and although the art style does not appear to have changed much from 2018’s Super Mega Baseball 2, it’s clear from the announcement trailer and screenshots that the graphics are indeed much sharper this time around. Super Mega Baseball 2 is like the sequel to a great sports movie It falls somewhere between arcade-style games such as NBA Jam and photorealistic, officially licensed simulation titles like MLB The Show: There are no power-ups or physics-defying feats to be found, but the cartoonish visuals belie an authentic representation of the sport of baseball that is nonetheless approachable regardless of your skill level. Metalhead did not provide a specific date, but a spokesperson for the studio told Polygon that on launch day, a free trial of the game will be available on all platforms with “limited access to game modes,” including Pennant Race.įor those unfamiliar with the Super Mega Baseball franchise, it represents a kind of sports game that really doesn’t exist anymore. The game is scheduled to be released in April, the first full month of the real-life baseball season.
