Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy PS4/Pro vs Xbox One/X vs Switch Resolution/Frame Rate Comparison
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Frostbite Engine is the most optimized 3rd party engine but it really doesnt matter how much you optimize ( which is just a term for downgrading settings for consoles), hardware will always be the limitation. BFV will see the same fate on current consoles with such weak CPU
Why is hard for some games on Switch to stay on it's native res? Are people just okay with the blurriness. It's dissapointing to me imo.
240p like most PS1 games(a few PS1 games were in 480i).
Sure it can be either, but it's probably the CPU.
In the case of porting this game it could be legacy code they were afraid to change.
Crash on the X definitely has the best IQ I have ever witnessed in a videogame. I didn't think Gears 4 could be beaten in that regard, but it totally has.

Hey, if you like paying full price (or equal price to the other console versions) to play a subHD game at worse framerate, in a hybrid console more expensive than the base competition models...well, you are either a true enthusiast or a NGO bent on keeping Nintendo's toilets made out of gold.
To me, personal and specifically, the Switch was the worst disappointment of the decade. And I own a WiiU.

People like portables, what other version can you play on the go in a practical way? People like you who seem to ignore that over 100 million people see purpose in dedicated handhelds never cease to annoy me.
Sometimes you either have the choice to sacrifice visual fidelity for more pixels on screen or vice versa. Considering the sacrifices that already are done on the Switch version. The devs probably though that they hit the wanted balance between visual fidelity, IQ and framerate.
Crash is a PS4 game, you also need to take into account that the Switch's hardware is so far away from it that these sacrifices are more often obligatory than not. People are just used to it now and learned to accept the hardware's reality, which is a reality where IQ matters less where gameplay triumphs.
The framerate is not (in general) worse than on the other systems though with Crash. I can only say that even though I bought Sonic Forces on Xbox One for the 60fps, I gladly picked the Switch version (will only get on my birthday in a month though) over the Xbox One version of Crash because I can play it on the go, which, with a newborn is actually the vast majority of my personal gaming time at the moment.
When will Youtubers and gaming media stop acting like PC doesn't exist? This video has 2 consoles from Sony and 2 consoles from Microsoft, but no mention of PC version at all. Even Digital Foundry is sometimes guilty of this.
I never understand this stance. PC is established legitimate gaming platform, isn't it? PC also has Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, doesn't it? So why omit it from the comparisons for some weird reason. Feels like such an odd thing to do.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree. With the Switch being at least 2 times weaker than the base Xbox, 720p in docked and 480p in portable for Crash makes perfect sense. Doom runs at 1.5 times the res and twice the framerate on the xbox (reaches 1080p sometimes, but mostly around 900p), plus with higher visual settings as well. Fortnite's resolution may be similar, but xbox has twice the fps and you're wrong about it looking visually identical. Fortnite on the Switch has much lower visual settings and less grass and worse shadows, no reflections, etc etc.
Console gaming and PC gaming are two different markets with some overlap.
Third party games usually sell most on consoles, so comparing those versions to high-end PC specs is a questionable decision. This is made even more complicated when the average PC gamer doesn't even use a high-end setup, so instead you have to compare with more mid to low-end setups. But if you do THAT, then you still need to show the game based on high-end setups so the PC platform is not misrepresented.
Because it's weak and that's all it can do. It is what it is.
Because any test will turn out to be "how the game runs in that particular PC" as even another similarly speced machine will run it differently. There are thousands of possible PC parts combination so why bother really.
