Topic: Hogwarts Legacy

Thanks for keeping the conversation here civil and respectful

Just seconding what @Eel said, let's get back on topic now please

I don't think Hogwarts Legacy Switch 2 version is that great. Flying around, the draw distance for shrubs and stuff on the ground is suspiciously short, and there's more pop-in than expected. Frame rate seems to dip paning around standing just outside hogwarts school. At the moment, I don't think performance reviews are going to be that positive. I could be wrong. We'll see. I'm glad I only paid $15 for deluxe switch 2 edition.

Maybe a recent side by side can show me that it's better than I realize. Anyone else agree/disagree? (no wrong answers)

@WoomyNNYes how’s it when you play the og version on the switch 2? Any minimal improvements to load times and resolution?

@Eel Downloading switch version of HL now. I'll try it sometime today and report back.

Ok. Tested switch 1 version on switch 2: Load times are better - they may be half what they were? Frame rate is steady. I don't see a resolution bump or notice other other improvements.

@WoomyNNYes ah thanks for testing!

If load times and frame rate got a bit better then I think I may get away with playing that one for a little while longer.

I assume it’s also lighter in size?

@Eel
S2 hogwarts is 23GB
S1 hogwarts is 17GB
I'm assuming you know, there's a massive discount for switch 2 hogwarts for people that already own hogwarts on switch. If you log into nintendo site's game store(website version of eshop), the switch 2 version should be discounted like 75%-80%.

@WoomyNNYes I know about the update discount. Since I don’t expect it to go away any time soon, I feel like I can wait a bit.

This is currently free on epic games at the moment, in the UK at least. So if you also have a PC worth picking up. It's not really my type of game but will give it a go as sometimes games just click even if you don't expect to like them.
