CDPR: Switch 2 way better memory/performance situation for the devs than they had for PS4/Xbox One

ps4 210 WATS 20 pounds grills ns2 10 wats mobile techs ahahaha

Wattage has nothing to do with RAM size
 
Please tell me you don't expect many, if any 120fps games on NS2.
Please tell me you're being sarcastic thinking there will be no 120fps games on the console, despite the fact they announced the said games right after mentioning the 120fps capable screen

Performance is slightly above Steam Deck, a 2022 portable handheld, and below that of Ally X and Legion Go. It's not impressive at all.

Steam Deck gives you OLED and way cheaper 3rd party games. The latter two vastly superior performance.
Switch 2 lets you play Mario Kart.
You're comparing Switch 2 in a serious manner to Legion Go and Ally X? Aren't those $900? C'mon, get real. It's apples and oranges and any comparison is beyond silly.

To be honest, the only comparison that really matters is what the leap is from Switch to Switch 2, and it's clearly gargantuan.

Tell that to CDPR representatives…not me.
We have a direct quote from CDPR about this.

"Our team has been working passionately to make all this happen, and for more than seven weeks, to be clear! This misunderstanding arose because the build we showcased was finalised seven weeks before we showcased it at Nintendo. Development has been ongoing for much longer as we're working to bring Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition to Nintendo Switch 2."

 
buuuuut still cant run phantom liberties dips evens in intro

Sure, it uses an ancient CPU. Still, after patches it wasn't as bad as you wanted to suggest in your previous posts.

Just like SW2 isn't as bad as some people are trying to imply, there's no reason to troll each other about whether a brand new handheld is more or less advanced than a 9 year old $399 console, and every thread about SW2 is like that.

It's pathetic.
 
This is what it generally looked like after patch 1.6:

Bro, gotta be real here, check framerate and frametime, and it wasnt even tested in super demanding shit hits the fan scenario, but slowpace driving early on:

Few second dips under 25fps...
In 2nd framerate test game dips to 27fps even in beginning mission corridor section with only few enemies around...
In 3rd framerate test section game dips multiple times, prolonged dips, to 28fps durning walking in the city w/o anything else going on...
We need stable fps 100% of the time in gameplay, especially in first person games, especially durning heavy shootouts, and yeh ps4 holds stable 30 90% of the time, 10% of the time being when we most need it tho, then it dips and frametime is artrocious too.

Im not saying cdpr didnt do best they could considering ps4's hdd and cpu, im just saying ps4 has its own very visible hardware limitations, same way it has its strenghts too(that gpu wasnt too terrible for a console, yet in terms of desktop pc it was lowend even back then late 2013/early 2014).

Thats what consoles are- closed boxes- hell ps5 is current gen and u can already tell vs topend pc/next gen consoles(or even vs midgen upgrade ps5pr0) it has very visible flaws already- miniscule rt performance and bad upscaling, and thats ok, it has its strenghts too(very fast ssd, 16gigs of vram) with cpu/gpu raw power being okish, not crazy good but good enough for now- but by holidays 2028 aka ps6 launch it will be clear weakness.

Consoles are what the technology allows at the time of their design process, minus the compromises made to achieve a relatively low price point.

Both PS4s were as adequate in their day as the Switch 2 is right now.

So i don't understand why people are throwing shit at each other about the superiority of one over the other, SW2 does not compete with PS4 and vice versa, if we were to conclude anything from this, it is that we are making progress, and that is a good thing, for all of us.

I agree 100%, but lets not stay delusional here, ps4 was great back in the days even with all of its compromises, i own my launch ps4 to this very day, but cp2077, even after all the patches, runs like shit on it, gotta call spade a spade here, we arent delusional bimbos but men after all, gotta live in reality ;)
 
Games that can't run stable should not be able to be released by LAW.

It's deceiving to customers. If you can't make it run, you should not be allowed to release it. Especially when the refund policy is shit.

CDP is a pc-centric developer and so was their game. Just like Witcher 3, it did not fit the hardware profile of the consoles of the time.
But if the ps4 pro was the only thing you had, it wasn't like it was completely unplayable.

But yeah, i'd be shocked if SW2 couldn't do it better, after all, that's almost a decade's difference in technological development.

so to prove wrong about the switch 2 being better technology due to minatruization and lower power draw, you referred to moore's law, which states miniaturization and reduced power consumption mean better technology?

Yes, but this had nothing to do with Nintendo or NVidia for that matter. So, pretending the Switch 2 is some amazing technological marvel simply because it's fabbed on a modern process node more than a decade removed than the ones PS4 launched on is disingenuous at best.

Actually, cdpr downgraded witcher3 year or so before launch, just so game can run on ps4/xbox one, we all remember bullshot trailer with much better visuals:

Game looked nothing alike at launch 1,5 years later maxed out on pc even- and again, look at that "in-game footage" right at the begining of the trailer, props for dev studio not taking it down tho, its still on their official yt channel :P
DF made vid comparision about it, u can exactly see how much of a downgrade we got even maxed out on topdollar pc back in 2015 :)
 
Well, if we're talking about slow paced driving, this video outlines that the switch actually struggles really hard in this scenario as well.

This is what i'm talking about, the consoles at the time weren't ready for this type of games, nor did CDP Red had much experience with consoles anyway.

It was the bare minimum if you wanted to play it.

The SW2 doing a little better as a portable device is a big step forward, but i have the impression that not everyone appreciates this aspect as much as they should.

Nor do i see any reason to depreciate old consoles just because their performance can be beat by a device several times smaller a decade or more later.
 
Because of how many have been moving the goal post:
- Less powerful than PS4 -> Console is more powerful, around Pro ballpark
- LOL not even close to PS4 Pro -> Console is around this but with current gen features. Run current gen versions of the games and even stuff the Pro can't
- LOL it needs DLSS to the same than PS4 -> Literally running current gen versions of games at way better performance, loading times, etc. And stuff it can't run

- LOL of course it's more powerful than a 2013 console -> Well, no shit, it's a current gen console, we've been saying it since Nvidia leaks

And now also:

- Ok but memory bandwidth is gonna make games run worse than even on PS4 -> Memory bandwidth not only is more than good enough for console requirements but also has SSD, Nvidia compression, etc. to not require as much access to it

That's basically the goal post moving roadmap when trying to compare it to PS4 so far, I wonder what's next?
You're still not getting it. Even if it on a "ps4 pro" level power, it's still hardware wise being compared to a decade old piece of hardware. Sell it all you want to, Nintendo gave up on hardware a long time ago, yet they have the balls to charge 500 for a handheld ps4 pro "with memory performance". It's a fucking joke.

Correction… $450… There's another better alternative for that price?

It'll be glorious to watch you clowns when the UE5 titles roll in. We'll need PS4 and Xbox One pictures looking forlorn out the rainy window. Of course, that'll start in August with Madden.
 
I have the Switch 2 preordered and paid for. However, facts are facts. I am not going to pretend CP is going to run great when all the video evidence points to it running unstable.
We went from… Lol, No way that the Switch 2 is going to be capable of run Cyberpunk 20277 a few months ago to Lol is not going to run like the PS5… Obvious is not going to run like your 10 pounds console 🤣🤣. That's OBVIOUS. Meanwhile the Switch 2 is going to receive all the major third party games.

The question is not if it can run it, but if it SHOULD run it.

If it can't do a stable framerate, the game should have never been released.

And btw, I was never a guy who said CP couldn't run.

Lol, that's a hell of moving goal posts 😂😂😂. Some of you thinks that the real world really care about performance, resolution and framerates… The CP2077 is probably going to sell a few millions on Switch 2… get out of your bubble for a few minutes and use your brain 😂.

I don't care what the world thinks and how much it sells. Do you have stock in Nintendo or something? My God. This is only my personal opinion.

Those laughing emojis don't do you any favours in a discussion btw.

I have a great news for you, you can buy a 5090 and the PC version if you want top notch quality graphics, meanwhile i have the PC version since day 1 and a 4080 and i am going to buy the Switch 2 version of CP2070 too… Stop crying for things that other people enjoy, is that simple.

I'm not crying about something others can enjoy. Stop framing.

I'm saying that if a game doesn't run stable it should NOT be released. And that includes CP on Switch.

Stop framing my words pal. And, I can play this game wherever I want and I already did and it's not even my point. Try reading.

It's about if this port should even exist when it isn't able to run stable.

As long as I can play the majority of the game at 30fps with only slight dips less than 10% of the time, I'm good.

Can't wait to get this game in Switch 2!
 
No idea what that even means. But then again, I live in the real world and not on TikTok or whatever.

Thanks for the discussion.
Your concern trolling is noted. Carry on. What was it again? Cyberpunk at unstable frames are against the Geneva Convention, tried as war crimes, etc. etc.?
