And people were defending this release because people complained about incomplete graphics, making it look like a lazy port. Turns out... yeah, it was very lazy.
@canaryfarmer What about undocked, is it too low-res? Could you tell me? Videos on youtube are usually with the docked experience, and I almost never play docked.
@LikelySatan not really what I asked. I enjoy Turok 3 as much as Turok 2, even though they have totally different game designs. Turok 3 looks great on switch 2. I just think some switch 1 games look really bad on the 1080p display of the switch 2
Is the resolution any bad on Switch 2? Turok 3 looks ok, but Shadow Man looks horrible, and since both use the same engine, I'm unsure about buying it. I mostly play undocked.
@AG_Awesome at first I panicked thinking my switch2 joycon had gone bad, but then I searched online and this issue has been happening since the wii version... which was a relief but a sigh.
Why fix a game that people were already happy enough if you are not planning on re-release it? I guess the switch 2 version is inevitable... which makes me wait a little more before playing it. The demo was great, but the game looks a bit messy on switch 2 because of the low res.
@Duncanballs if it was free pastime, sure. But I guess it is smart to be aware of the value spent for the money you earn through hardwork and lifetime.
@Duncanballs maybe I'm in the minority, but if paying for a product made 13 years ago, I wish it is at least on par with how it was before, not worse. Being ok with it is almost telling companies you are not that smart and are ok with being ripped off.
@Lony85 It is practically the prototype for Rayman 2, so it makes sense they are launching both games together. It is just a less polished Rayman 2, but art-style, character design, levels and overall feel are quite similar, just overall worse. It is a nice game to try and see how the team explored 3D platformers before achieving the high standard of Rayman 2.
@RenanLK I think the limit is already pretty clear. We are already seeing the limits of the hardware, when you get a game that has to strip all its "current-gen" lighting system for a last-generation technology that makes it flatter, just to achieve a 648p.
The thing is, since the switch 2 is more tech-aligned to current console hardware and has the advantage of DLSS, the limit is way "prettier" than what a switch 1 could do against PS4, for example.
No blame on people interested in this because of nostalgia. But please, guys, at least wait until EA feels they need to put it on sale to make a buck. This was done with very little respect to the original creators and artists involved, to the point where they faked concept arts using AI.
@BaldB3lper78 This game originally released in 2013. That is almost 13 years ago.
There is absolutely no justification for you to accept an old game re-release on new hardware to be inferior to the original version.
"Oh, but ps3 version ran at 30fps 720p".
So, let's pick the PS4 version, launched in 2014, that's 12 years ago, 60fps with better graphics than the original version.
Visual identity is part of "what games are about".
This port strips away the game`s original vision to the point where in one of the emotional parts of the narrative, Lara stares at a blank wall because they removed the mirror in which se reflects on her actions.
We can't normalize lazy ports.
This is just insane that a consumer is pro-exploration.
@OrtadragoonX A man can dream... honestly, I would be happy if first they just improved the other two games to run better on Switch 2, and Wolfenstein.
I can see in a not-so-distant future they announce Dark Ages, but it would probably look as blurry as what Doom for switch 1 looks on switch 2.
@Lizuka Odyssey is very much improved in every way on switch 2. No decimated animations, better draw distance, higher res, stable framerate, improved textures and HDR (which is no simple thing to add)

Ok, guys, but we should not act as if an 8 was a 4.
This is still great and above average.

Re: Digital Foundry Delivers A Tech Analysis Of Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2
@kal_el_07241 Because the series S is still more powerful than the Switch 2 and the game already had big cuts on Series S.

@Max_the_German You do realize the PS3 is very very weak compared to a Switch 2, and PS4 is comparable to a switch 2, right?
