They have around a million subscribers. Nobody but core hobby gaming nerds care. And obviously some on here.....Does Digital Foundry get paid for trash talking about Switch 2 or something?

Mate, it will be fine overall, but you are putting next-gen cope there. "I am a lot closer in height to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar than he is to the K2 peak…" is how it reads.Switch 2 is closer to PS5 than PS5 is too top of the line PC (GPU alone PS5 is just 3.5 times more powerful only), of course it's a very on par version, just running at lower resolution and frame rate, not even a Switch type situation compared to PS4, but just a little behind the XSS which runs basically the same games with less resolution and frame rate, it's even better than XSS in terms of memory configuration.
You just have to have eyes to see, games graphics are already being hit by diminishing return after 8th gen.
Wait what?! You cannot upgrade from Switch 1 version? What the fuck..Fuck the greedy cunts for not offering an upgrade path.
Yes, actuallyDoes Digital Foundry get paid for trash talking about Switch 2 or something?
Imagine buying a PS4 for $450
My wife plays the Switch version on my OLED and this looks nothing like it.Yes, the game looks Nothing like the Switch 1 version… DF just can't hold the L.

Looks good to me, don't see what DF is complaining about![]()
DF literally dropped proof of the last gen compromises like the stained glass stuff. Hard data.
Not everybody owns multiple consoles and spends far too much time playing videogames. Some will simply buy a Switch 2 like the original. They will buy it for Nintendo's own first party titles and third party support will be a bonus. They will play this totally unaware of the frame rate and textures etc. And the fact it will look better on dedicated consoles. But with your reasoning nobody should then buy the PS5/PRO or Series X versions. As they are all inferior to the PC version on high settings.If you wanna destroy your eyesight then go ahead and play this version of the game on the switch 2. I'm sure that low resolution, uneven framerate, and lowered textures will do wonders for your eyeballs. Buy this game on more capable platforms people.
I am guessing this version is built around the new hardware. But yes it's not the best decision.Wait what?! You cannot upgrade from Switch 1 version? What the fuck..

The games will look fine for the vast majority of people buying them. Depends on how much you look into things.If you buy a switch to play graphically impressive games, you picked the wrong console and it's on you.
It's a 720p port. For a console that's supposed to be much more powerful than a PS4, how is this acceptable?
But it's portable and plays Mario Kart!Imagine buying a PS4 for $450 in 2025
You could do this on the game's release, 2 years ago. The Steam Deck released in 2022 and Hogwarts released in 2023. Plus, no stained glass windows blocking the views on the Steam Deck version.Isn't playing this version (the current-gen version) on a portable device a wow factor enough?
When Docked. Switch 2 portable can't do anything close to a Series S.If some ports can trounce the PS4 and rival the Series S, while others are much closer to the PS4, then it's a dev skill issue, not a console issue.
The switch 2 is about 2/3 of a series S when it comes to visuals and performance. More than enough for an hybrid console.
Digital Foundry recently got hands on with the Switch 2 version of Hogwarts Legacy during a Nintendo preview event, and they weren't impressed. Performance is locked to 30fps with some drops in intensive areas, and the game seems to be lacking the additional visual elements found on Series X, PS5, PC, and even Series S/Steam Deck. The game runs at 720p supposedly with DLSS enabled in docked mode, with a "rather soft image overall".
Some of the compromises made in the PS4, Xbox One, and original Switch versions are still intact for the Switch 2 version, including the stained glass walkways that block the wide views to the open world. This was spotted in a screenshot from the recent Nintendo Creator's Voice video.

How do we feel about the Switch 2's capabilities now vs other current consoles, given this new information?
In docked mode, is it not more powerful than a PS4? not saying it's equivalent to PS5Who says it's supposed to be much more powerful than a PS4? No sane person has ever claimed that. It's better than PS4 in some ways, but overall it's in that general vicinity. It's nowhere near current gen power.
Source? Evidence?Yes, actually
Or maybe they aren't getting paid and this makes them angry.Does Digital Foundry get paid for trash talking about Switch 2 or something?

It doesn't matter how it looks. It matters how it runs.So much fuss over a lazy port...
When there examples like Cyberpunk or Streetfighter that look far better than the Ps4 versions.
No but the oled will cost $500.You're not spending $500 on the Switch 2 to get current gen wow factor. And you most certainly won't be getting next gen wow factor which starts in just 2 years.

Wake up.
What I mean is between Switch 2 and PS5 there's not even close the same situation it was between Switch 1 and PS4, many like shitting on Nintendo consoles because of the raw power, yet they still play on console and think their versions are close to PC versions which whenever the devs want, are way beyond any console version and this is one of those games.Mate, it will be fine overall, but you are putting next-gen cope there. "I am a lot closer in height to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar than he is to the K2 peak…" is how it reads.
Despite the specs, memory advantage goes with the Switch 2 no doubt, in the context of this game there is a wide enough image quality and especially graphical features gap compared to the PS5 release (including RT effects if you can stomach 30 or 40 FPS).
df is crud metaldaves64 derstoys themThe obscene amount of framing in these topics here is very concerning. People saying that DF are saying this or doing that for reason X or Y without evidence is so sad.
How about you just listen to the words coming out of their mouths before making your own assumptions.
If you're not here to talk seriously about tech or whatever the OP is about, you should just get the F out and get a life.
I don't understand why the forum rules aren't enforced in these topics.
