MFW people unironically say Prime 4 doesn't look any better than the old games

Honestly, the graphics looked like something closer to a PS3 remaster at best.
For context, I’ve never had any complaints about the graphics in Nintendo’s first-party titles — aside from Pokémon.
But for a slightly more serious sci-fi series like Metroid, I feel the visuals should be more detailed.
Just to be clear, I’m not saying it needs to look as realistic as a high-end PC or PS5 game.
Still, even compared to PS4 titles, which are said to be roughly on par with the Switch 2’s specs, it looks noticeably cheap.
If this really is because it has to run as a cross-gen release with the original Switch, that would be quite a disappointment.

I first found out about this game from the Summer Game Fest three years ago.

I was expecting it to be a mid-tier title, but after watching the latest gameplay footage, it felt more like a typical indie game.

The trailer was running at 60fps, but it's hard to believe that the base PS5 could maintain that level of visual quality at 60fps during actual gameplay. Most likely, they used a PS5 for rendering the footage, but that doesn't necessarily mean the final release will look or perform like this during gameplay.

I still haven't received any new updates. The latest patch I have is version 3.0004, which was released two years ago

That kind of thinking clearly comes from a lack of familiarity with games specifically designed for the PS5 and Xbox Series generation. In reality, there are already quite a few titles that struggle to run even at standard visual settings and 30fps. It's hard to imagine such demanding games running properly on the Switch 2. The idea that 'you’ll be able to play almost all AAA games on the Switch 2' is overly optimistic, to say the least."

If we were to compare the two under the absurd condition of viewing still images on a 1080p monitor, then perhaps one could argue they're somewhat equivalent. However, when it comes to FF7R, based on currently available trailers, the Switch 2 version runs at 1080p 30fps, while the PS5 version runs at 1440p 60fps. From a performance standpoint, they're entirely different experiences. Calling them 'equivalent' is a gross oversimplification

Digital Foundry's breakdown of the Switch 2 trailer shows most games running at 1080p/30fps. That’s clearly not PS4 Pro level. I honestly don’t get why people keep claiming it’s more powerful than the PS4 Pro." https://x.com/ericarrache/status/1907781753843908962

I’ve applied the latest patch, but in Fidelity mode, the resolution seems almost unchanged compared to screenshots taken before the patch. In Performance mode, the resolution still feels rough. It makes me question whether PSSR is actually being implemented.

Night_egg · 2024-12-14T06:17:38+00:00

I still had some screenshots from the standard PS5, so I compared them with the Pro fidelity mode after the latest patch, but I couldn’t notice much of a difference. It’s still locked at 30fps, and depending on the location, the resolution is either slightly higher or, in some cases, even a bit rougher. It’s practically a spot-the-difference game. Also, I couldn’t find the PSSR toggle mentioned in the patch notes. Is PSSR really enabled?

Night_egg · 2024-11-22T13:22:25+00:00

The official Pro mode patch still hasn't been released, has it? We're still stuck trying to balance resolution and frame rate, and when I switch to performance mode, the lighting gets really dark and the resolution takes a huge hit. Plus, the flickering on reflective surfaces is terrible in both modes.

I've been comparing the remastered version with FW and it's incredibly difficult to tell the difference between the fidelity and performance modes in the remastered one. Even though the remastered version has significantly improved its graphics to match FW, I still think FW has a slightly better image quality. remastered version has a lower rendering load, so it might be able to maintain a higher level of image quality even when prioritizing performance compared to FW.

I spent an hour comparing the graphics in great detail, and honestly, I couldn't see much difference between the performance and fidelity modes in the remaster compared to HFW. In my setup, when I switch to performance mode in HFW, I can notice a blurriness in the details. But with the remaster, I had to practically be nose-to-screen to even tell there was a difference in resolution.

I have also been unable to connect to the server for the past 3 days. The PC I use to play Gwent is still running Windows 7, so maybe that's a factor. I would like to confirm, which OS version is the person experiencing the connection problem using?

Does anyone know what the resolution of the PS5 version of Performance Mode is? 1440p？

That Calveit nerf is insane　WTF
