@Desrever Idk how boosting CPU clocks just for load times can fry your switch. Overclocking a CPU doesn't take as much heat then what you would do to a GPU.
@YANDMAN They just came from a console that even vita surpassed in sales, I will give them a little slack cause it's still a lot better than the wii u but for the Upgraded switch that really isn't an excuse. If we can get near the ps4 quality I think for $300 that should keep 3rd party which will be good.
@YANDMAN I think of a switch as more as a secondary console for when you need to leave or something like to a house for a day or two having just the switch or bring the dock as well is what makes the console special but in mobile terms even if they release a very power switch in like 2020/2021 it will just be ps4 level at best or in-between ps4/xbox one since I bet they want to keep the $300 mark on it but we just got to hope nivida is making a very good card for switch soon
@YANDMAN I was kidding but yeah, if you aren't a portable guy the switch really doesn't really go along with that since it's mobile hardware weaker than a full console but I'm getting this game on switch/ps4 but maybe they will fix those issues in the next switch upgrade.
@BornInNorway81 Dude, you know the nivida chip is far more powerful than the Wii u even in handheld mode?? Hyreal warriors, for example, runs near the same in handheld but it's rendering in 1080p downscaled to 720p for the switches display and docked improves on that
@SwitchForce Their is Bluetooth support, the freaking joycons use Bluetooth, plus Nintendo said they want to stretch out the switches lifespan like the ps4/xbox one so a new model will come soon but the rest I agree
@NinjaWaddleDee Plus the new game will be built from the ground up with id tech 7 supporting switch. We should see a big jump in performance from the last doom (Btw they just released a patch to improve performance)
@brunojenso I think since the switch is a handheld and can get a lot of money will make them interested. The difference in power is a lot closer from the switch to Xbox one than psvita to ps3
@NotTelevision But still there are so many other games that look better than Spyro so why does this game be the switch breaker? Spryo is on UE4 which supports switch as-well as Epic games making improvements to the engine to use more of switches power.
@misterflipnote More like 2 GB less. Cause the ps4/xbox one use 3 GB of ram for UI and other stuff and the 5 is for games and the switch only uses 1 GB of ram for UI and 3GB are for games...
@Qwertyninty I feel like the developers should learn the switch and not always rely on panic button for porting and even building a game from the ground up on the switch. Panic button can't work on every single game you know. We have seen some nice 3rd party games that panic button didn't work on.
@carlos82 I meant that it wouldn't look really that different, sure it's in portable mode which is a lot less powerful than docked but as I said, the reason the vr headset on ps4 looks a bit crap is that games like driveclub have to run at 60fps to not make you motion sick. Of course, games like Mario Odyssey are already 60fps but since the game is mostly not 720p it will look pretty pixelated. I would say if Nintendo makes one themselves they can make it to where the switch runs in docked mode through a battery built in the vr headset but they will need to worry on not making it very heavy. But if they can pull it off then having the jump from 400gflops to 1 teraflop is a pretty jump when looking not even an inch away from the screen so stuff like Mario Odyssey can be at 900p.
@Saego That's because the ps4 is to push the resolution on the VR headset and the tv so it has to output 1080p on the tv and whatever the res is on the vr headset which takes a lot of power. The Switches vr just has to output on the switches screen which is like playing in handheld mode with games like rocket league or Mario Kart. The switch vr would look a lot better since doesn't need to extra horsepower for the tv as-well
@LUIGITORNADO Well that was the wii u day's you know. Nintendo changed after that and are making way better games so I would give it a try cause it does look fun
@Banjos_Backpack still it will be useful since it has a kickstand and good if you don't want to get up and just chill. It won't affect sales at all really just it could be useful
@Aozz101x That makes sense I have a PlayStation 4 but I just want to play games I have on ps4 on switch even docked mode for some reason but yeah it should be a good time to get the system when the bigger stuff comes out - Carson.
@Aozz101x Why don't you want it? It does Unreal 3 but the game after the patch made the game look very close to ps4 and it runs at a locked 60fps so why not?

Re: Shiver Entertainment Is Developing The Switch Version Of Mortal Kombat 11
@OorWullie I will say 720p near graphical settings to the ps4 or 900p with lower settings.
Re: Shiver Entertainment Is Developing The Switch Version Of Mortal Kombat 11
@YANDMAN Oh boy, I didn't know a portable version of MK11 will look worse than a full console I guess I should just sell off my switch...

Re: Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Might Run On Switch, But Developer Toys For Bob Honestly Isn't Sure
