Cool, but the reality is that if a Switch game looks good, its because the developers put in the effort to deal with the low performance GPU.
Any close-up of view a switch game looks a bit 'yikes'. I'm still a bit unforgiving of Gorons looking worse than in N64 era.
- smcl 2y agoThis is about video encoding not about 3D performance…
- 0xfaded 2y agoI played breath of the wild during covid and was just blown away by it, both as a work of art as well as technical brilliance. Knowing the switch's limitations, it felt like a AAA demoscene. I only learned later that the Wii was also a release platform!!!
- jonhohle 2y agoIt was released on the Wii-U. The Wii-U arguably has a better GPU than the Switch due to different power constraints. However, the total CPU/GPU/RAM package is much better on the Switch. I also believe that BotW was developed for the Wii-U, which crashed so quickly that porting it to the Switch made sense.
- mistyvales 2y agoI played it on the Wii U and outside of some random slowdown (which honestly happened in the Switch version), I had a great time playing it and thought it still looked and played well for such an old system.
- 3836293648 2y agoOh come on, Gorons do not look technically worse than in OoT/MM. You might not like the cell shaded characters but that is an artstyle and not a technical limitation and pretending it is is just disingenuous
- lomase 2y agoSo your are telling us you never played or even looked to a N64 game.
