@michellelynn0976 Imagine relying on AI to back up a point.

@michellelynn0976 "Never trust DF" and you call me a troll 😂😂😂

@michellelynn0976 Say that to Digital Foundry. Also take your own advice.

@BaldB3lper78 Yeah sure 🙄

@BaldB3lper78 Bet you never even played the game.

@ElRoberico Yeah its pretty crazy how high you can fly. You can even fly above the clouds during a storm and see them raging below you.

@somnambulance Oh i agree Shadows is incredible from a visual side especially on the Pro where RTGI can be enjoyed at 60fps with much clearer image if PSSR is on. On my list of best graphics of 2025 its most likely 2nd only to Death Stranding 2.

@Oldstalk AC Shadows doesn't run great on it. Its locked at 30fps what ok fine expected but it doesn't stick to hit and the loss of RTGI raises questions on how its going to deal with games where RT is the only option. Avatar only has RTGI it can't be switched off and giving how massive the game world is and how dense it is with flora and fauna i can't see the Switch 2 running it well or at all.

@michellelynn0976 Nah it struggles and it can't even run RTGI. DF already said it has a lot of issues on Switch 2.

Yes Avatar is more demanding. It has a more dense world with tons and tons of flora and fauna, a massive focus on verticality where you can even fly above the clouds and the map is massive. It also only has RTGI as its lighting solution. You clearly haven't played Avatar so why argue this?

@somnambulance It looks better then Yotei but it doesn't run better. At best its on par with performance but overall Yotei sticks to the 60fps far far more often even in the RT Pro mode thats holds 60fps pretty much 99% of the game.

@RiasGremory They aren't going to put the 3rd worst looking version of Cyberpunk (if we include the PS4 and X1 versions) on a list of the best looking games of 2025. Its a great port yes but its far from the best looking games of the year.

@michellelynn0976 Console versions of Cyberpunk not more advanced then Avatar. Avatar is extremely dense with fauna and flora and only has RTGI. The chances of it running on Switch 2 are pretty slim especially when the Switch 2 struggles with AC Shadows a less demanding game.

@Smithicus The 2nd movie made over 2B and is the 3rd highest grossing film ever. Clearly the audience is very much there and i'm willing to bet the new one will also be a 2B+ film. I don't think Disney and Cameron care about lack of memes when each film makes more money then anything else in film.

Yeah its a very demanding game due to how dense the flora and fauna is, you can't just tone it back either as its a massive part of the game.

@Oppal21 You understand a "better machine" isn't really possible at £400 and with good battery life. Like seriously i get around 2 hours max battery life at full brightness as it is.

@Duncanballs I dunno i think its fair to expect the game to match the og PS3 version at the very least. God forbid some people don't want to settle for less. Tell me if Xenoblade X was visually worse then the Wii U version would you have defended that?

@JohntheRaptor Far from it. The Pro can brute force past a lot of its issues but its still fairly messy even on that.

Both Hades II and DK are more then worthy but Clair Obscur is basically this years Baldur's Gate 3.

@PinderSchloss Yawn. You think the DLC will "fix" that or something?

@Fighting_Game_Loser Yeah the N64 library was pretty so so early on but its pretty great now and has a lot of great stuff.

@PinderSchloss The game is finished this is just an optional extra.

Rayman 2 is a nice get.

The fact its not 60fps despite being 13 years old is freaking ridiculous. The Switch 2 is more then capable of running it at 60fps.

Took me around 15 mins of ranked play to get all the Kalos starters mega stones so this should be painless.

Well it was made for the Switch 1 in mind so it should be pretty solid.

@KITG_GROUP "old man yells at cloud". Covid killed Cinema's not Netflix.

Paramount is in Trump's pockets right now and is turning into a very right wing studio so no way in hell do i want Paramount owning WB. Netflix are very much the lesser evil here.

@OldGamer999 Got the Mario Kart bundle so that as well as Pokemon ZA plus its expansion, Hades II and the Tears of the Kingdom upgrade.

Got my Switch 2 today so can't really say. Haven't even played it yet as i'm still downloading my games haha.

@kal_el_07241 SS is more powerful then a Switch 2.

@bennyacnh It does have a Switch 1 version, its 30fps but its fairly stable. Your save can be used with the Switch 2 version as well for when you upgrade.

Still boggles my mind how Nintendo get away with the Amiibo BS with their games. Its worse then DLC in my opinion as at least DLC is easily accessible.

@OmegaX83 Needs an internet connection on start up but once that's done it can be played offline. That's how it is on PS5 anyway and i have no idea on why it needs that one time connection either.

Best open world in the series? Look i'm a big defender of Shadows and have over 100 hours on it but its open world while very pretty (well with RTGI on) and big is very restrictive and lifeless. Out of the modern entries its the weakest map of the 4 (or 5 if we count Mirage), like seriously Odyssey's map runs circles around it.

Shame the Switch 2 version lacks RTGI. Its a gamechanger in looks and doesn't look great without it.

Without RTGI its just not worth it.

@Ganon821 The irony of complaining about delays on a Nintendo themed site. Would you rather them rush it out in a bad state instead?

The visuals should be fine on Switch 2 as it is a PS4 game the issue is will the framerate hold at 30fps or crumple?

@BaldB3lper78 DF is a tech channel its what they do.

How do you make a 12 year old game look worse on 2017 and 2025 hardware then it did on 2006 hardware? This should be on par with the PS4 port at the very least.

@Tyranexx The GOTY last year was a Japanese game so i wouldn't say western bias. End of the day this has been a very stacked year, if not for E33 existing it would be hard predicting the winners.

Zero complaints from me, she looks especially good as Zelda.

If the game is good for one thing its causing IO to pivot into the World of Assassination trilogy.

@Elektrogeist1287 Kids? I'm 32 lol and i've played every entry multiple times barring the very first game. You can love the game i'm not saying you can't i'm just saying the reception towards Absolution is why they pivoted to the World of Assassination games.

@Elektrogeist1287 They have a point. The reason the World of Assassination trilogy exists is because of the backlash and underperformance of Absolution.

Easily the weakest and most restrictive entry in the series. It has its moments yes but overall its a poor Hitman game.

@dennabeht Funny because the LGBTQ+ community love Lady D. The people complaining are more likely to be the type of people who make comments like yours.

Well screw me i guess as i'm getting the game in Dec when i get my Switch 2.

They should delay to Dec to be honest as Oct and Nov are already stacked as hell.

@LikelySatan More like the 100's NPC on screen at once. Also it sounds like it could 60fps but would often drop so they went with 30fps instead.

I'm a digital gamer and don't buy physical anymore but i'm not stupid i know full well digital titles are only available for as long as the Publisher/Dev allows it. Hell Nintendo have shown the pitfalls of digital gaming with 3D All Stars, impossible to get digitally now but you can still buy it physically one way or another.
