IGN: We Played Resident Evil Requiem on Switch 2



Wow, Capcom and Nintendo hardware is simply magic. The game looks much better than Series S and has better temporal stability than the big consoles, albeit at worse performance.

literally every scene in that comparison is sharper on series s, switch 2 more stable but series' s is obvously higher resolution and sharper. the performance is night and day difference with out vrr.
 
This is gonna be another Subzero83 vs Deerock71+Lordocidax+Buggyloop+Mozza dogpile, isn't it ?

My observation is this :

- Game/port proves to be bad = "lazy Devs" + "It's just a handheld /hybrid system what did y'all expect ?" + "You're all trolls and haters"

- Game/port proves to be good =
"Based Nintendo" + "The little machine that could" + "lmao, the port is better than X console hahaha !" + "aMaZiNG performance, NS2 is a beast cruuud"

You can't win with some people, the only "winners" are the usual ones inside their echo chamber, this type of discussions have absolutely nothing to do with hardware or technology, just confirmation bias and the usual zealot vitriol.

I mean the poster was saying that the IQ is so much better then series s but you can cleary its not. right in the first comparison its so blurry that the you cant see the powerlines on the left from the lower resolution.

Nah, this is clear… Series S has better performance, Switch 2 everything else is better. Nothing to discuss here.
 
Ok, if you say so… 🤣

if you don't care about having a reasonable discussion then stop trolling, i said switch 2 has better stability in stills but its clear series s has higher resolution and preserves more detail. also this is using dlss lite 3;27 the floor dithering and massive break up in motion.

You are the one concern trolling over here, people told you multiple times and you don't stop.
Maybe, just maybe, he wants to discuss the game but not with you seeing you have an obvious agenda.

Even DF already stated the obvious… The Series S has the worse IQ. Like is said, there's nothing to discuss here.

you mean the same DF that said sonic racing worlds is based off the switch 1 version and assassins creed shadows had similar IQ then on switch 2 to series s when it's not even close. Like said switch 2 is more stable but based on this comparison the switch 2 is blurrier in many scenes and missing detail so it really depends on your preference, so yea i'll trust my own eyes unless this comparison has a bad switch 2 set up.

yea switch 2 does better at rails but what about everything else. also john he wants to see how scales on switch 2 so he hasn't even played extensively.

why do you only take pics where switch 2 looks better? take pics of the castle where switch 2 is missing detail, take pics the of the green light area, takes pics of the globe where switch 2 is much blurrier. take pics of the car where switch 2 is so blurry you can't even see the rim. like the bias is unreal.
 
Series S = Better Performance
Switch 2 = Better overall IQ

Simple
thats fair but lets not pretend its a blow out when many scenes series s can look sharper. anyway i wanna see a motion comparison cause i definitely switch 2 fair seems to break up way more in heavy combat probably the drs dropping heavy.
 
yea like sometimes switch 2 looks better and sometimes series looks better its not a clear win. there are so many areas series s looks sharper.
Since you put DF on high pedestal, let's use them to measure the IQ

John: "XSS version image quality is actually worse than Switch 2, like almost across the board. It's like quality mode vs. performance mode when you put the two side by side."

I have slammed df many times, and i dont agree here they are extremely inconsistent he says slightly better iq and shows a spot where switch 2 looks much worse and has way more flicker. They also ignore in motion switch 2 and combat the break up is insane.

Also assumed he knew what he was talking about sonic worlds not having the same settings as ps4 but he just made it up.

It's pretty obvious that the Switch 2 is using some version of DLSS. It's microsoft's fault here that they haven't released some sort of image upscaler.

For example, they could have licensed XESS.
 
No one is complaining, back in the Switch generation most PS4/XBO ports were waaaay more compromised than that.

There is still a large power gap obviously.
Yea, I think what's very clearly observable now is that Nintendo is no longer substantially behind other console hardware, for reasons both in their control and not.

Going with a DLSS-capable chipset was absolutely the right move and it's showing how well it shines with RE9, which looks shockingly good for 540p. Mobile chipsets always have bandwidth constraints, so the lower res, the better. DLSS allows for decent presentation on higher res displays. It's a serious edge versus other consoles on the market ATM, FSR 3 and under look like crap by comparison and XeSS (non-Xe) hammers perf more than FSR.

In terms of RAM, APU, etc, yes the Switch 2 is notably weaker than even Series S (which makes sense, it's a $450 tablet consuming minimal power), but we are no longer in an era where hardware is rapidly outpacing itself. The PS4 is arguably only really held back nowadays by it being so incredibly old (and on a shitty architecture to begin with), if it supported more modern features, I'm sure multiplatform cross gen releases would be even more prevalent. The Switch 2 is basically PS4/PS4 Pro equivalent hardware, with much more modern support and feature sets. So it's able to keep up surprisingly well, you have to remember the leap from PS4 to 5 isn't even that big compared to prior gens, and the Switch 2 isn't targeting anything above 1080p in most titles.


The tl;dr is that Switch 2 is the first time since the Gamecube era of Nintendo where you are getting 99% of the same experience as other consoles, just not as technically robust. It's a legitimate option to playing games like RE9, especially with the portability factor. It's not a shitty muddy mess with the visual experience practically gutted like the Switch 1 ports were like.
