they fixed the bug that prevented the graphic options to stick!


Outlaws is really setting itself up as a benchmark to show future Switch 2 developers how it's done.

Star Wars games have been consistently the graphics leaders on Nintendo hardware.

shadows of the Empire and Rogue Squadron on N64 and Rogue Leader on GameCube...

or the easiest achievable performance. I mean it is Ubi.

 

[DeafTourette]

This just makes me want this game (and the Switch 2) even more!

 

[Certinty]

Game is honestly great on the Switch 2 so fair play to Ubisoft.

 

[Dorfdad]

Great almost ready to start my play through!

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I bought this for my ns2. My son really likes it. I was mostly impressed with what i saw. Graphics are great, and gameplay seems like a mix between assassins creed and uncharted.

 

[Liopleurodon]

What about face of main character?

 

[Buggy Loop]

I can't wait for the demo that is supposedly coming. Not too interested in the game per say but I sure want to see it run on it.

 

[Shifty1897]

It is pretty crazy that this game has ray tracing on the Switch 2.

 

[Boy bawang]

This level of port will become standard in a year or two. It's "just" Ubisoft after all.

I can't wait to see high effort ports like Witcher 4.

Switch 2 already isn't playing nice with UE5. Cronos doesn't even have Lumen on it and Bloober definitely know what they're doing with UE.

Witcher 4 will never come to Switch 2. not with the current state UE5 is in.
Lumen is insanely demanding (while looking like shit), so there's no way it would ever run on Switch 2.

there's a reason not a single UE5 game on Switch uses any UE5 feature. they all essentially run at a UE4 feature level

Silent Hill f seems to run on ancient systems like mine alright enough. Consistent 30fps (the odd hitch loading in new areas and assets) with medium settings, lumen lighting on (cos it looks kinda ass off), screen space reflections rather than lumen and FSR upscaling to 1440p (seems to work in quality setting but I guess safer to avoid drops on balanced, little difference in IQ anyway). That's on a GTX1080 and i7 3770K. A proper Switch 2 port should achieve a better balance of visuals and framerate with DLSS (no RT features on my ol PC, I was surprised it even runs, never mind well enough to play it through). But of course Silent Hill isn't anything like Witcher 4 open world stuff are likely to be, just saying in general for UE5 games (which I imagine all devs want/push for the engine and games to be further optimized over time and run and look better on all setups anyway).​

that GTX1080 is not that much less powerful than the GPU of the PS5.
it's more than 2x as powerful as the GPU of the Series S.

the Switch 2 GPU while docked, is about half as powerful as the GPU of the Series S.

so with that in mind, imagine having a GPU with 1/4 of the power you have now. and remember that software Lumen is generally faster than hardware Lumen, even on GPUs with RT acceleration. so the RT hardware of the Switch 2 wouldn't even come into play probably.

Be ready to eat some serious crows on that one.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Funny how this game is suddenly relevant, eh?

 

[Germuso]

Nintendo would charge you 40$ for this patch.

Ubigod.

 

[Radical_3d]

That's not what the devs are saying.

 

[Rambone]

Yea, I am also curious about the demo from a technical point of view. I'm not really interested in the protagonist or gameplay I've seen from reviews but if the demo manages to hook me and the game is cheap enough, then maybe I might entertain the idea of a purchase.

 

[ecosse_011172]

To think they're still improving on perfection.
Heroes.

Just Ubisoft? Games like AC:Shadows, this SW game and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora are three of the most technologically advanced games out there. Custom games engines too, not UE5 crap.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Playing it right now. It looks absolutely amazing on Switch 2. I was impressed by Cyberpunk but Outlaws takes it to a new level. A true next gen experience. The game itself is also quite good, with a lot of fun open world exploration.

 

[diffusionx]

Ubisoft was smart to port it to Switch 2 and make sure it was a good port, yea.

 

[RoboFu]

It's relevant in a technical sense. I don't see anyone saying to buy it.

why the surprise? It has an nvidia GPU, it probably has a better RT hardware than PS5

G' damn man, what's with the formatting ?

By just Ubisoft, I mean that while their ports on Switch 1 were good, they were not top of the line either. They were good.

If we follow the same trend, and considering that this is the early port of one of the most technically ambitious current generation open world games, there will be ports in the future which are gonna blow our mind.

In a hindsight, cyberpunk is a decent port but could be seriously improved, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a few performance patches. We were just high on it because even in its current state, it's very playable and destroys the steam deck version.

 

[Lokaum D+]

well, he is not totally wrong, there is no UE5 games on SW2 at the moment and the only one that was announced was indefinitely delayed, but lets wait and see.



Edit: i m wrong here, Chronos and other UE5 games are out on SW2, what happens is that no UE5 game on switch 2 at the moment arent using Nanite, Lumen or VSM according to DF video.

We need a Nintendo Switch 2 edition of the Witcher 3 now that CDPR are familiar with the hardware. Going to be a huge upgrade over the Switch 1 version.

 

[Deerock71]

Sneaking around is part of Star Wars DNA, so I'm having fun with it.

 

[Power Pro]

Isn't Cronos a UE5 game? that's on Switch 2 now

 

[analog_future]

What? That's not true. Cronos: The New Dawn is on Switch 2 and looks pretty great. Fortnite as well. Split Fiction, too.


All look and run acceptably well.

 

[thesplitsubject]

Are we seriously still talking about this game? Can't we just let it die? The interest around it is so tepid.

you guys are 100% right, i ll correct myself

 

[Shifty1897]

By that logic, all the Switch 2 games should be using RT, right? Except they're not.
