Digital Foundry - Bayonetta on Switch: The Definitive Console Release?

Not sure I need this after 100%ing the PC release...
Then again it is my favorite game. Will probably quad-dip, lol

I wonder If the bandwith limitations were so severe for both games that the developers choose to stay at 720p. Bayonetta 3 will probably be better in that regard.
So better than the 360, Wii U, and considerably better than the PS3 version.
Might have missed him commenting on handheld performance but it should look quite nice on there

Microsoft are emulation wizards. The XB1X improvements to the game over the 360 original are incredible.

It's awesome what Microsoft has been able to do with back compat and the X1X. The definitive console release, and at no additional cost to the user
Crazy thing is, bc was planned from the start and xb1 has hardware in it to help with bc.
It's better than Wii U, worse than docked. Didn't have time to performance analyze since it takes 1 hour to analyze 30 seconds of off-screen footage. It's pretty good undocked.
Great work as usual John
its not really emulation as we traditionally know it from other consoles. XB1's solution is completely different from making a 360 emulator and simply having the XB1 run it.
They will build Bayonetta 3 around the bandwidth limitations, they won't be working within them, so i expect Bayo 3 to really show what the switch can do

A 10x hardware boost (over the 360) from a premium $500 console will do that. The fact they compared the Switch version to it (or the PC version for that matter) is baffling to me considering it's a WiiU port running on a mobile chipset. Of course it looks and runs much better on a PC / Xbox X. Water is wet lol.
I'm going to hold off on getting it for the Switch as I've already completed both and have far too many half finished Switch games in my backlog!!

I hope sonys marketing deal does not prevent a og red dead 4k patch. That game already looks good but at 4k? Whew.
They compared all versions so people can make a decision on which to buy if they're not interested in double (triple? quadruple?) dipping. DF should always compare as many versions of a game as possible.

How does the poverty Xbox one run it? Is that version better than switch as well?
huh. If that is the case I might just buy the original there and 2 here.

Is this common for old games with back compat? Like is Sony's marketing deal the biggest reason why the old game wouldn't get a 4K patch?
Handheld is the reason why I bought the switch and only really use docked for local multi-player, motion control stuff in Zelda, to charge the console and if I ever get xenoblade 2. Will buy full price just to play on handheld.
In terms of power, hardware obviously doesn't scale linearly, but atleast in terms of GPU, we're talking more like 30x, not 10x.
Xbox 360's GPU is around 200GFLOP's last i heard, and we're comparing that to a 6TLOP system at the very least. Not only that, but the bandwidth 360 had is dwarfed by the X by 16x. The only relative weak link is the CPU which was originally about 3x Xenon, but with the overclocking is probably somewhere around 5x now
No. There is no conspiracy marketing deal stopping X enhancements. Maybe from showing them off at marketing events

In GPU flops yeah although the CPU leap for XB1 over the 360 is far smaller although still significant.
I just think looking at the Switch specs (aswell as it being a mobile chipset) it would be fairer comparing it to the PS360WiiU versions of the game rather than comparing it to premium hardware. We already know it will run much, much better on those platforms so it's wasting precious video time doing it, at least imo. I'd be much more interested in seeing how it compares against the PS3 version for instance.
I just find it strange we rarely get detailed PS4/XB1 vs PC comparisons anymore yet we get Switch vs PC.
Inuhanyou
It's an even larger leap than I thought then!
It's a shame that the 360 version still looks slightly more vibrant compared to the more washed out look of the Switch version.
Given the context of the thread which talks about the best console version, it's on Xbox.
Dark1x What about the improved texture filtering that MS applies to all bc games? Is there a substantial difference?
How do you know without the test?
edit: Ah, there is a test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zll8sayyHZk But perhaps the game got a patch since then so we don't really know.
lmao at the YouTube video of the guy saying the textures were better, there you go. Oh well, not enough changes for me, it's just a port for the most part. Good enough for newcomers, not enough for double dipping imo
