Video: Check Out This Side-By-Side Comparison Of Apex Legends Running On Switch And PS4 Pro

yep, just kinda blurrier. idk what else i expect at this point lol

Despite being blurry, it still does look good. Gameplay itself seems to bo be great.
The devs did a good job.

I played a bit last night in handheld mode only. Very smooth and a great port, but it will definitely be important for Switch players to turn off "cross-play". The blur and draw distance is only a deal-breaker if you are playing with people playing this on high resolution displays as it becomes a handicap. Turn off cross play and it's a smooth ride.

I'm probably going to get shot down again but why didn't they do a Comparison video of the game in motion - that's where the visual fidelity is going matter, if you cant see your opponents because of poor draw distance what chance do you have online.
I would also like to see some handheld screen captures considering that's how most people are going to play this on Switch.

Why compare it to PS4 Pro? Take PS4 instead.

It’s apex legends...

I had no issues with the game and it is very impressive playing this in handheld mode. i had no issues playing with crossplay on and even won a few games too. I feel it would be too easy with it turned off

It could use an upscale, but given the game I think FPS matter more.

Hows the switch version looking?
Probably blurrier

Wait, you mean people playing on a 7” screen are going to have trouble seeing the same things as people with 50”+ screen? Shocked, I tell you!

@Bulborb or even better, XB1

I was excepting an almost flawless port like Doom Eternal but eh, it looks fine

@Bulborb I think a lot of the gaming people doing these comparison videos have moved onto having a PS4 Pro so that is what is available to them.

Looks great amazing job panic button. Also GOD why nintendo life articles like this is just asking for a storm.

I love Panic Button so much <3

A little blurrier or not, you just gotta love the folks at Panic Button. They really love the Switch and you have to admire their dedication to the platform. I know I do.

Apex Legends is really fast paced isn't it. Ofc it will be a bit blurrier.

Overall, another great job from Panic Button. Add this game to the list of most impressive switch ports.

@Judgedean Yeah, Why compare to PS4 pro. Compare to OG X1 and base PS4 instead

@Arkay They've earned the title of Port Wizards

Why is it important to turn cross-play off? I am JUST asking, NOT trying to start a feud with you here. Lol. I played last night but didn’t think about turning it off. Does it speed up matches? Let me know what you mean. I’m curious. Thanks! @saotomemtl

Undocked is practically unplayable, you really can't see much. They should've done a more cell-shaded effect compromise instead of just blurring everything, so you could actually see players moving further away than 10 ft... Another thing that makes absolutely zero sense is how they did gyro aiming. Why on earth did they do clockwise-counterclockwise tilt for horizontal?!?!?! It's like the dumbest gyro idea I've ever seen. All the other shooters I've played on switch would do left-right tilting for horizontal. Push Button ported Doom and the gyro on that game is perfect. Why they wouldn't replicate that on this is just beyond me... Very disappointed in this port...

@CTmatic It's because you would be playing against other consoles that have way better visuals and controls. You will get smoked constantly with that disadvantage.

Like @Trmn8r said, turn off cross-play and avoid handheld/tabletop. The combination of a low resolution and low rendering distance makes it very difficult to play. I feel very disoriented trying to fight other players because their colours either blend in with the environment or they move too fast for the screen to make them look visible

Draw distance, the Switch's achillies heel. But how would it look if the Switch had DLSS? DLSS is just the tool for adding contrast & a bit more detail.

Looks great to me. I get why people complain with the drop in quality but the game is still the same, and you don't play Apex to look at all the nice scenery, you play it blow people's heads off!

Erm, not to be dramatic, but the game is BARELY playable. I know they worked hard on it, but it just wasn't it... Not recommended.

@CTmatic check the reply by @Trmn8r
all good, i don't feud with strangers.

@Snatcher I know right! I always imagine them watching this while devouring a bag of popcorn.

Thanks! @saotomemtl

Overall what I see is a celebration of the Switch getting well earned attention. Studios that make games like this could very easily give the Switch a hard pass for obvious technical reasons. As we all know many do all the time. But there's some that actually put forth the effort (for example hiring Panic Button shows you mean business). This makes me more excited for Nintendo's present and most importantly future. The more love and care it receives today creates great potential for more of it going forward with future hardware releases from Nintendo

@Dethmunk fortunately though panic button are continuing the support for the game for a while so it should continue to be optimized moving forward.

Never played it before
But i love it on switch
In handheld it looks very good i enjoy ever minute
I'm just happy that i have switch and have time to play ^^

30fps fast paced online shooter where 90% of people will be using WiFi sounds like a total disaster

A blurry mess

That is surprisingly not terrible. Looks fine for handheld.

Anybody else having the broble in apex that microphones arent workin when playing crossplatform?

This is why we need newer Switch to improve on graphics gameplay.

I mean, it's playable. It's just the 580p is rough to be honest. I'm hoping this newer switch model that's coming out soon will be better in handheld mode
