God when will this game stop being analysed.
Impossible. Switch 2 uses the current gen textures. The results are even closer to ps5 as they are to series s. Let alone the fzster storage and much mor ram. There is no way ps4 could even get close to this with optimized code. The difference between them are huge on most levels. There are clearly some things scaled down but compared to the other things, its clear that switch is a series s lite where it has the benefit of games that could even pass the series s depending on the cpu usage. Thats insane for a portable handheld.
Its good that DF aknowledge its no near ps4 quality. Anyone who still say ps4 experience hw is official a troll. The facts are in.
textures being better than Series S comes down to the fact that the Series S' biggest design mistake was the small memory pool.
textures being better than Series S comes down to the fact that the Series S' biggest design mistake was the small memory pool.
settings are in fact at parts lower than PS4, as seen in the shadow cascade setting.
the traffic and pedestrian setting is also PS4 equivalent and not near Series S.
it is very clearly closer to PS4 in every way except textures. similar internal resolution, broadly similar settings, similar performance.
it's in essence the PS4 version, but running without the major issues of the PS4 version (which are down to CPU and storage speed constraints)
I think you aren't really looking at facts.
so let's summarise the facts:
resolution = broadly PS4 Level. Series S is dynamic 1440p with 1200p lowest. more than 2x the average resolution of the Switch 2.
shadow settings = trading punches with PS4
draw distance = trading punches with PS4
pedestrian/traffic = PS4 Level
performance = a bit above PS4. XSS has a decently stable 60fps mode and is in another league here.
in essence, on Series S you either run at more than 2x the resolution, or at a similar resolution but 2x the framerate + higher settings (aside textures)
1080p~800p dynamic res, 60fps in the alley shootout test.
textures = above XSS due to the bigger memory pool
so what exactly is Series S level here except the textures being better?
is it the fact that it runs at half the framerate and a lower resolution all at the same time? is that Series S level? I think not.
it has DLSS, which lets it punch above its weight. but if you actually look at how it runs and which settings it's using, it's very clearly closer to PS4.
Were you expecting a PS5 portable?♂ This video just demonstrates what the majority of people here expected…. Between PS4 and Series S…
Runs like a dream on the 9070 xt, playing ray tracing psycho 1440p at like +90fps with fsr4BTW, I need to ge this game on PC, not sure if I should play it in my 6700 XT or wait before I get a 9070 XT somewhere later this year...
I was not expecting better texture quality than Series S and IQ thanks to DLSS… That's a bonus.And actually tricking us into a better looking game because of DLSS (which is a good thing).
gen ahead image qualitimes switch 2 charmpionePerformance in Phantom Liberty is about what I expected after playing it.
Makes the Steam Deck comparisons people were posting here all the sillier.

If you have no interest in MKW and you already own(ed) the original Switch, Switch 2 is an incredible waste of money. After putting hundreds of hours into the Zelda games, I could puke if I had to play that game again, improved visuals or not.
CP77 is on 2. because there is nothing else to buy. I can't remember when a console launch lineup was this bad. Probably never.
What's silly about it? Steam Deck is a trillion year old mini PC that is bazillion times more capable than the Switch 2 in terms of functionality. People that were expecting the Deck being as capable as a dedicated gaming console in terms of gaming were morons.Makes the Steam Deck comparisons people were posting here all the sillier.

When the next Cyberpunk game is out.God when will this game stop being analysed.
The Deck runs the game significantly better at similar visual quality. Well actually better visual quality, but that is due to the OLED and not the actual underlying hardware.What's silly about it? Steam Deck is a trillion year old mini PC that is bazillion times more capable than the Switch 2 in terms of functionality. People that were expecting the Deck being as capable as a dedicated gaming console in terms of gaming were morons.
This guys just can't take L… From Lol The Switch is going to be less powerful than a base PS4 to saying that DLSS is cheating is something elseYou're still clinging to the idea that Switch 2 is closer to PS4 than Xbox Series S. You keep framing DLSS as a kind of cheating method after it produces better graphical IQ than Series S. I'd like to remind you once again, we are living in a post-processing era, and DLSS is sitting at the top of the hierarchy, and your resolution comparison is outdated and laughable at this stage.

The PS4 version is looking and running worse than the portable mode of Switch 2.
If Switch 2 is your only gaming device, that port is fine. Or if you need portability at any cost and you can't afford the Steam Deck. Objectively, the target audience for this particular version should be very small. But we all know that Nintendo fanboys have nothing in common with objectivity, have they?I don't understand why anyone would want this version of the game. If you need portability just stream it or remote play or something. Why settle for this.
Okay, I get your point. I'd never go with anything less than an OLED screen. It's just day and night compared to LCD.The Deck runs the game significantly better at similar visual quality. Well actually better visual quality, but that is due to the OLED and not the actual underlying hardware.
He forgot that image quality is one of the most important aspects in gaming. He kept trying to downplay the importance of having good IQ over higher resolution. Even Richard Leadbetter from Digital Foundry stated, "Why does it matter at the end (internal rendering res) when the final output is far superior to the native version?" when analyzing DLSS for Switch 2.This guys just can't take L… From Lol The Switch is going to be less powerful than a base PS4 to saying that DLSS is cheating is something else. Even DF took the L with dignity.
wow switch 2 look soooo much betterYou're still clinging to the idea that Switch 2 is closer to PS4 than Xbox Series S.

I'd like to remind you once again, we are living in a post-processing era, and DLSS is sitting at the top of the hierarchy, and your resolution comparison is outdated and laughable at this stage.

The PS4 version is looking and running worse than the portable mode of Switch 2.
I mean, I have a Switch 2 and I like it a lot. Still wouldn't buy this. I don't know many people who want to play Cyberpunk lite on a Nintendo console.If Switch 2 is your only gaming device, that port is fine. Or if you need portability at any cost and you can't afford the Steam Deck. Objectively, the target audience for this particular version should be very small. But we all know that Nintendo fanboys have nothing in common with objectivity, have they?
The 40fps mode seems kinda pointless. And, despite all the improvements over PS4, it unfortunately has the same NPC and traffic density settings which makes the city kinda dead. Dogtown also seems to be a mess. Respectable effort, but I'd still recommened any other moden version instead unless you really don't have any other choice.
Let's pretend that DLSS not exists thenHe forgot that image quality is one of the most important aspects in gaming. He kept trying to downplay the importance of having good IQ over higher resolution. Even Richard Leadbetter from Digital Foundry stated, "Why does it matter at the end (internal rendering res) when the final output is far superior to the native version?" when analyzing DLSS for Switch 2.
The other thing is I don't understand how anyone can game at 30fps in a shooter. It just makes no sense to me. I could maybe understand someone who's really casual and doesn't understand framerates, but this has to be the bottom of the barrel way to play it in terms of new hardware.
MySwitch 2 haters moving the goalposts list:
-Is going to be a Switch Pro less powerful than the PS4
-Is going to be less powerful than the Steamdeck
-Steamdeck is a 2022 handheld and the Switch is $450 Great achievement.
-Is going to be less powerful than the PS4 Pro lol keep dreaming
-Of course is going to be better than consoles from 2013
-120hz screen for a Nintendo Handheld lolol Hopium
-No way is going to be close to the Series S 0% chance
-Lol… is Running PS5/Series 60fps games at 30fps … Not surprised at all<- We are here.
Probably 70% of the population are NPCs[Nintendo Fans]: "But..but where are all the NPC's?"
{Nintendo Executives staring at the bank account]: "Oh they're out there alright"
I mean the DLC drops to low 50s-high 40s on other consoles, or 20s in quality mode. No miracle hereSo, the base game OK, the DLC not OK.
Yeah, Tom nail in the DLC part, about the DLC not releasing in the last gen and thats why the DLC break the NS2 performance. There is no code or base line to backup the NS2 in this case.

The dlc has issues on ever platform.So, the base game OK, the DLC not OK.
Yeah, Tom nail in the DLC part, about the DLC not releasing in the last gen and thats why the DLC break the NS2 performance. There is no code or base line to backup the NS2 in this case.
How is this impressive? It's barely above Steam Deck from 3 years back and will be forever stuck at this performance level.That's an incredibly impressive port. Bodes well for future support.
Hopefully they continue to patch this over time as well.
Why would you do something like that to such a nice leather couch smh.
It is much better than Steam Deck, and devs will learn to optimize better and get more out of the hardware as the gen progresses just like every console ever.How is this impressive? It's barely above Steam Deck from 3 years back and will be forever stuck at this performance level.
