So I'm watching the ps5 vs switch 2 comparison version and they say the IQ is fairly equivocal and they zoom and its a night and day difference like looks like 720p vs 1080p difference. you guys can see for yourself and tell me what you think.

Yes, they are blind, I noticed that myself. Not sure this needed a new thread though rather than posted in the DF thread.
The blindest one is Tom.
 
From normal viewing and playing distance it's fine.

You don't play games zoomed into a section of the screen, mate.

Yea i thought it did it kinda shocking that these so called experts can see the massive difference there.
 
I don't think they're blind. Pretty much every statement that they made has some qualifier in it like better than expected or all things considered.

The switch2 is a fucking game boy... don't let it keep you up at night.
 
I get that DF has some bad takes, but this really isn't one of them. They added multiple qualifiers after saying they look equivocal, and they're right.

It's impressive how close the Switch 2 version is. The only two major differences are its obviously blurrier on the Switch 2 with limitations of the weaker performance DLSS version, and the hair looks a generation worse. Otherwise, impressive how close they got the lighting, and texture resolution differences also not vast.

PS5 looks better, but Switch 2 users didn't get a bad port.

equivocal means its almost the same.

They made one statement where the switch version was sharper than the PS5... everything else they said with a chuckle, almost laughing at the switch, even when giving it credit.

I think you're way over-analyzing this and might be a little emotionally triggered by a Nintendo.
 
I was shocked when i saw that like the difference is massive yet they are telling it looks the same.
I'll never forget when Tom was comparing Genshin Impact and said they are the same even textures and it clearly showed better textures on PS5.


Blind fucker.

I mean they never mention how much better ps5 IQ is in motion. they were painting it like they are extremely close.

They were trying to oversell DLSS as usual by suggesting the switch upscale is similar to the better image quality of the higher res PS5 version. It's not but I guess it's close enough.
 
Because this could be in the DF thread for RE9?
Isn't it better to be pointed out and discussed and either squashed or confirmed rather than lost in that thread?

I have no real interest in switch 2 performance bc I don't have one. But it would be upsetting if df showed bias.
