Digital Foundry finally released their analysis of Dragon Quest XI S : Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition recently released on the Nintendo Switch family of systems. Will update OP as I watch the video along.
What were your thoughts on *breathe in* Dragon Quest XI S : Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition on the Nintendo Switch family of systems?
- PS4 was running at 900p while Pro was at 1728p using checkerboard rendering. Switch uses a dynamic resolution. Docked goes from 720p to 810p. Handheld has an average resolution of 540p although its also dynamic.
- Most of the game runs very smoothly, at 30fps (like the other versions).
- Overall polygon count has been reduced on the Switch.
- The file size went from over 30gb on PS4 to just under 14gb on Switch. All content is included though, including dual audio. Videos were compressed through an UE4 codec that wasn't available at the time.
- Reduced texture filtering, shadow draw distance, ambiant occlusion.
- Loading times are the same
- The 2D mode runs at 60fps except for cutscenes that are, for some reason, running at 30fps.
