Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy PS4/Pro vs Xbox One/X vs Switch Resolution/Frame Rate Comparison

Wanted to actually buy the Switch version due to portability but 480p is rough. Might buy PC version instead. Bummer.
wow, 30fps on pro and x, it's strange, i got a 1050ti and i get 60fps at 1080p, pro gpu could surely do it at 1440p, guess it's cpu or just non optimal programming...
I still can't believe only the PC version is 60fps, oh well.
If I was going to get any of these versions I'd probably get the Switch one, even if 480p sounds rough.

Base XBone at native 1080p is really surprising! If that's the case, I don't see why Switch couldn't have been a bit better than 720p docked/480p portable...
We don't know the exact bottleneck the engine has to face on switch. The switch version even has some shadows missing.
PS4 Pro not even 2160c? That's just fucking pathetic.
I mean... It's Crash Bandicoot not Crysis. You can't tell me that it would not be possible to hit 2160c 30fps.

Given its based on the Skylanders engine which also wasn't native res on Switch it's not surprising. But given the scale of the levels on this game it's a little disappointing - however the IQ is still perfectly fine in portable and doesn't detract much from the games.

Switch version looks and runs great in handheld mode in my opinion. People need to look past the numbers they see in write ups and actually check how it looks in person before judging.
I'm pretty sure that we haven't seen this level of disparity with base XBone/Switch before, so something weird is definitely up here. Be it an engine specific bottleneck or poor optimisation or something else.

It is? Didnt expect anything else to be fair. Its a remaster of a platformer.
It's not a remaster, it's a full, ground-up remake. And it's a great looking one too!
Just because a game uses stylised, CG cartoon esc visuals, doesn't mean that it can't be visually impressive and taxing on its target hardware.
Is the base Xbox one and switch that close in power?. The difference seems about right to me

Dont think its a remake tho. They even even say its a remaster.
But i dont see why its surprising its 1080p. Its pretty normal and expected.
But it's not though, a remaster would be taking the original assets and you know, remastering them, but they didn't take the PS1 assets, they remade them, ie a remake.The Cover says it's a remaster.
Well, other ports have managed something closer. Sonic Forces for example, runs at 720p on both consoles (albeit at half the frame rate on Switch), Yooka Laylee managed 900p on Switch (compared to 1080p on XBone, same frame rate), DOOM runs at around 650-720p most of the time on Switch compared to around 800-830p on XBone (Switch runs at around 25-30 FPS, while XBone runs around 45-50FPS most of the time). Fortnite also targets the same 729p-900p dynamic res on both Switch and XBone and looks visually identical (outside of the frame rate).
So while I wouldn't really expect 1080p on Switch, I'd expect something closer to 900p if XBone manages native 1080p without much issue (and certainly better in portable mode!)
Other current gen games have come across at more than half the resolution, at half the frame rate. That seems about in line.
In this case it might be true (or they simply not give a fuck), but this statement sounds like a generalisation, which is false.
That's not always the case. For example, resolution (if too high) will tank the framerate due to the GPU not being able to handle it, not because of a CPU bottleneck. Same with AA settings, alpha effects...etc
Does a PC comparable to the One X able to do 1080p+ with 60fps? Mind is boggled that it can't. Are they just targeting resolution and not performance?
Lol. Wouldn't know the reason why someone would have that good of a GPU and that bad of a CPU combo.
It is and has been this whole generation. If you get the same framerate at 1080 that you do at 2k or 4k it's the cpu
Nah, it's not a remake. A remake would fundamentally change the game in some way. Like changing levels up, adding new things that were never there or planned before.
A remaster takes the core of all the different parts and pretties them up.
I call it a remaster.
A remaster simply takes the original code and runs it with more bells and whistles. You might find new assets in place and maybe even some adjustments, but it's not going to be a ground-up new game in terms of programming. By your definition of what a remake means, Wind Waker HD is more of a remake than Crash is.
I really do not understand why the gaming industry has abused the definition of a remaster so much.
Because this game by and large only changes visual aspects. You could say they remade the graphics... but they didn't fundamentally change the game. They took the games... made them pretty, and added a couple extras.
They didn't redefine or remake what Crash is/was... it's the games we all know and love... just prettier.
Isn't the port made by one guy that really wanted this to happen?
I wasn't expecting much anyway.
What's weird is if I'd have seen this thread first I never would have bought the Switch version
But I got it for my gf who doesn't play many games but remembers Crash. And she plays it while I'm on the PS4. And I had a go with it myself and honestly the graphics are fine. I prefer it docked because it looks nice on the OLED.
Not everything has to come down to resolution. The Switch has some genuinely different use cases which make up for its other weaknesses. And I genuinely was impressed seeing this run on Switch.

But it's completely different code entirely. That is literally a remake.
No one calls Gus Van Sant's take on Psycho a remaster of Alfred Hitchcock's film, even though it's nearly shot-for-shot and uses the same script.
