There are no true next gen games pushing the PS5 to its limit its mostly games designed around PS4 limitations up ported to PS5
Having said that if you compare multiplatform games like doom or the Witcher 3 between PS4 and Switch the gap is clear

 

[Kikorin]

Yeah is basically true. I rememeber when as a kid I played Urban Chaos on my PC, it was absolutely impossible to go back play with Playstation, the gap was huge.

Now i switch (eheh) from my Switch and my PS5 without any problem. Obviously if you compare the same third party games on Switch and PS5, most of the time the Switch version looks like shit, but if you just play exclusives, Nintendo is doing a wonderful job with that kind of hardware. And with Switch 2 the gap will be ever smaller for years to come.

[Darkness_Arises]

No, they just design their games with hardware limitations in mind, which is something many devs don't, even on PS5/XSX

This is some peak retardation. BotW the flagship Switch game does not even hold a steady 30 fps. Meanwhile, something like R&C looks miles better and can hold fixed 30, 40 or 60 fps.

 

[Musashipan]

Regardless , switch games are far superior.
Botw and Totk are better than the whole pa5 library

 

[LakeOf9]

Okay I love the Switch but this is a step too far lol

That said Nintendo art style does a lot of heavy lifting and makes their games look better than the specs would suggest

OP get some glasses my dude. Or maybe use the dock on a big screen...

 

[Quasicat]

I finished Octopath Traveler on Switch years ago and started it back up on GamePass. My memory made them both very similar, but then I tried it out on Switch to see what OP is suggesting. Even a 2DHD game looks so much better on Series X vs the Switch.

I get the point that OP says. It’s still a 2 generations gap but since we’re reaching photo realism quickly is not the same as before. In other words: having a 2 generations gap has diminishing returns the more we advance in every generation. Yes you can see the difference in those two pictures but if the generations were PS1 vs PS3 instead of PS3 vs PS5 I’d be more obvious. And of course I think it’s a mistake as well post this on this forum, where we’re sensible to diferencies even inside the same generation, we are early adopters and the major target for a generational refreshes.

 

[BouncyFrag]

We have gotten some Switch ports that now look great after a major update such as No Mans Sky:

Well, this may sound shocking for you but PS5 is more powerful than Switch, believe or not

While being true that this generational leap hasn't been that big, claiming that it's not perceptible is plain wrong, and I'm not talking about photorealistic games, where the gap is massive. Astrobot and Genshin Impact look so much better than Mario and Zelda respectively, there's no possible comparison between the two from a technical standpoint. That also applies to animations. You see those games move and it's clear they don't belong to the same gen.

That is true but while the triangle world of PS1 was unbearable the PS3/Switch low-fi is like… aye… I could do that…

 

[Indyblue]

Dude I love my Switch and play it more than my ps5 but it’s not even a comparison from a technical aspect. Nor should it be, the ps5 is newer and the size of like 20 switches. lol

Switch has some great looking games that still look great on a big 4K tv

But OP, the graphics gap is not only real it is very big between those 2 systems. Literally 2 generations apart with the switch being a “ps3 plus”

 

[daxgame]

I want the same wine you're drinking OP. Hopefully it'll make my wife look like Kate Upton even when she'll be 60.

 

[existensmaximum]

Pretty much every Switch game is a shimmering, blurry, jaggy mess on a 65 inch TV (unless it has pixel graphics ofc).

OP is just silly.

It's still very misleading. There're many games that literally can't even be run on the switch, period. Let alone downgraded to oblivion lol.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Think about TOTK, you can't dismiss what the Switch did with TOTK who btw I played on a big screen TV and it's arguably better looking than Biomutant a Playstation 4 and 5 game.

Switch looks like shit on a modern good tv. Sub 1080p, poor performance, no HDR. Hope the Switch 2 has HDR in docked mode otherwise I’m out.

 

[Skifi28]

I'm nearly three quarters the way there, actually

Looking forward to your experience with the PS5 pro. I want a thread with hourly updates and plenty of pictures.

[Maddoxswe]

Thank you OP for a good laugh in the morning ! You made my day.

 

[EDMIX]

You’re comparing graphical fidelity with artistic direction. Apples and oranges, dude.

Just look at any direct comparison between the same game on both systems.

This.

No disrespect OP, but you are just crying over a subjective opinion on art direction. Nothing you are saying has anything to do with "power" or anything of that nature as why the fuck would you start talking about Nintendo games? Why would you not use games on both to illustrate your point if this was simply a thing to discuss the difference of power or something?

So...this reeks of fanboyism man, no one is taking this seriously the moment you tried your best to ignore the very games that are on both platforms for a real example... We are all aware of why you are seeking to ignore that point to cherry pick games.

Imagine trying to compare 2 fucking TVs and be like "ok select the best film for this TV and another film for this other TV" you don't fucking think the person watching this demonstration is going to start to fucking question why you don't want to show the same fucking film on both?

Did you really think none us where going to start to show those comparisons of those multiplatform games or? lol

Thank you.

[DKPOWPOW]

Switch has some good looking games for sure, despite the tech. I think PS5/Series X are just starting to get used like they should have been for games now. It will be interesting to see what Switch 2 can do.

 

[RoadHazard]

You're insane. There's a MASSIVE, multi-generational difference. A lot of Switch games (particularly ones made by Nintendo) have great art styles, but technically they look terrible on a modern TV.

 

[Soodanim]

Muahahah fucking ah, biomutant absolutely destroy zelda in term of graphic and it was made by 20 people

 

[Darkness_Arises]

Maybe the OP games on a 720p 32" set from a distance of 6 ft. Outside of this or bad eyesight, there really is no other explanation. All Switch games look like jagged messes on modern large screen TVs. You can get used to it, but it is objectively a worse experience than even a PS4.

 

[Darkness_Arises]

Damn, that makes me want to play Biomutant. How does it run on the Steam Deck/PS4?

 

[GymWolf]

Not sure about ps4 and not sure about low end pc, i have a pretty beefy rig and it run fine with some occasional stutter here and there.

You may want to watch some gameplay first, the combat and furry goofy style is not for everyone.

 

[Wildebeest]

Gaming would be better if all devices were limited to under 20 watts.

If it isn't sucking 2000 watts are you even gaming?

You have to define what next gen is, because this narrative gets confused with art work. HFW and Tlou2 on PS4 still look better than 99% of games releasing years later on more powerful hardware due to the animation and art work. Huge amount of details went into making those games look impressive. On the flip side a next gen only game like Returnal IS pushing the ps5 to its limits, but it does not look as good as those two.

Spiderman 2 pushes the ps5 to its limits. Its has the graphics, the option to travel very fast through the city by gliding or swinging and can be played above 60fps. I cant really think of another game on ps5 that allows you to play with raytracing on at 60f fps besides Rachet and Clank.

Yeah RDR2 is still better than most new open world games but they had someone animate horse genitalia.

Still better than all open world games when it comes to care for details and immersion, nothing is gonna get close until gta6 is out.

Great comparison without pictures.
