That's should be what DF looks at going forward- Switch 2/Steam Deck comparisons. Though I imagine the score would be lopsided.If it's anything like the performance on the Steam Deck I wouldnt bother
Well, consoles are too expensive for most people to have 2 or more... Also most games run well enough, I mean, there's people even in GAF that see 30 fps as "good enough" even for 7th gen consoles (around 20fps mostly First Person Shooters)... And Nintendo audience is made by many people that really REALLY don't care about western realistic games, mostly indies, cozy, japanese AA games, those run perfectly well even on Switch 1 most of the time.At 540p 20fps-27fps! I kid. Well... not really. Not sure why anybody would make the Switch 2 their main 3rd party AAA platform. You're going to get by far the worse looking/performing version by default.
Just my 2 cents.
True, but I've never met, nor know of anybody (other than children maybe) who don't at least game on PC, PS, or Xbox and only have a Switch.Because not everyone wants to spend $1000 or more on 2 or 3 gaming systems ... Much less have the money to do so without impacting their bills.
OR
Because they'd rather have a system that has Nintendo games where they can also play some 3rd party games.
I disagree. I think the majority of gamer's have PC/PS5 as main platform, with Switch 2 as a secondary. I think most gamers have more than 1 platform.Well, consoles are too expensive for most people to have 2 or more...

Buddy we're talking about toys, come on, chill lmaoPeople without standards or self respect is what you mean. Please uncle Nintendo, please keep loving me.
Tye game is running UE5 using completely new graphics, animations, lighting, physics etc... It looks like a modern game and struggles with performance even on PS5 Pro,PS5, XSXThe game was originally released on 2006 hardware. There's some wiggle room.
And if money is a major issue, maybe Switch 2 isn't the right choice given a Mario Kart game cost $80 digitally and $90 physically.
The majority of the ones you see on GAF and are actively interacting about gaming, but I'm afraid to tell you that we're a bunch of freaks to actual casual players, most of them have a laptop to play online games with friends and maybe a Switch or just a Switch and call it a day.I disagree.

I hope you play on high end PC because whenever PS/Xbox fans say these things it makes many PC players eye roll... If you're talking about portable performance, there will not be a better portable machine than Switch for a while anyway.Glad you're on the same page. $450 for subpar performance is a real bummer when you could get something better.
Not hating here. Just telling facts. 3rd party AAA are going to look/perform worse on Switch 2 vs consoles all ready out(PS5 Pro, PS5,XSX, XSS). It's going to be a repeat or the Switch 1. What's even worse, is that games are only going to get more demanding and a Steam Deck 2, Xbox handheld, PS handheld are 1-2 yrs away.Every third party game is going to end up on the Switch 2 , and the haters are going to cry

Do you have a trusted channel for the analysis?Isn't the outdoor areas running at 360p-512p on the Series S?
Should expect something similar or lesser than that, but with their new DLSS custom upscaler from Nintendo.
Worked well for CP2077 and Street Fighter 6 running from a lower base native resolution.

I can't imagine that game running any better than 1080p-sub 30fps.Boring, give us Baldurs Gate 3.

no multi-system owner buys the switch version as their main go-to, we buy them generally as a side option for the convenience.

Let's also look at a forward-thinking company like CDPR with cross-saves for the Switch 2 version of Cyberpunk. These guys and gals are ON IT.How well does it run on the steam deck?

I get that. But most aren't going to throw down $70 bucks for a watered down port just for handheld convenance are they?How well does it run on the steam deck?

Most, nah. Personally though? Depends on the game. I dont know about you but I'm triple dipping on Elden Ring and Halo MCC when they inevitably release. And I will happily double dip on this $50 game as wellI get that. But most aren't going to throw down $70 bucks for a watered down port just for handheld convenance are they?
I do mostly, but still, if you're going to release a console don't let it be a shitty experience. I have a switch, and I gotta say it has some of my favorite titles. But holy hot damn do some of them run like complete ass. I understand what Nintendo is trying to do, but I do wish I had the option to play some of their games on a dedicated device that has enough resources and power to simply be a smooth experience, let alone a truly high definition one. For the next 10 years, we still can't hit 1080p without upscaling from 540p and so many people just ate it the fuck up for the same price as a PS5.The majority of the ones you see on GAF and are actively interacting about gaming, but I'm afraid to tell you that we're a bunch of freaks to actual casual players, most of them have a laptop to play online games with friends and maybe a Switch or just a Switch and call it a day.
It also surprised me when I knew people like that IRL but Switch as main or only platform is very popular among casuals or among fans of specific genres like cozy and JRPGs, they're mostly people with closed communities in discord or social media, but they don't tend to interact in sites like GAF.

yep but it is a 2006 game ie ...if they wanted to make a proper port for S2 at 1080p and 120 fps ...and improve the graphics from 2006...they easily could.Tye game is running UE5 using completely new graphics, animations, lighting, physics etc... It looks like a modern game and struggles with performance even on PS5 Pro,PS5, XSX
Well, there we can mostly agree, I wish Nintendo released a TV only Switch version with uncapped GPU clocks because I never take the thing out of the dock, I like playing on my TV.I do mostly, but still, if you're going to release a console don't let it be a shitty experience.

fake will still nort bee as powersful as ps5 series x pc switch 2 already getting curent gens only portsNot hating here.

I also think it's wishful thinking Sony/MS handhelds are 1-2 years away that are going to do it better than Switch 2.fake will still nort bee as powersful as ps5 series x pc switch 2 already getting curent gens only ports
Saved... For when you're proven wrongyep but it is a 2006 game ie ...if they wanted to make a proper port for S2 at 1080p and 120 fps ...and improve the graphics from 2006...they easily could.
But will they? Probably not. They will instead demake this remake for S2 and it will be the worse for it.
btw they could have easily made it run great on the PS5 etc if they wanted to.
I don't think Bethesda can give you Baldur's Gate. But on the bright side, Larian is almost certainly working on a port.Boring, give us Baldurs Gate 3.
proven wrong for ...what? Need an answer so I can save for my records.Saved... For when you're proven wrong
