DigitalFoundry: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch: Great When Docked But What About Portable Play?

[brainchild]

Forgot to mention this earlier but the game appears to use something akin to id Software's megatextures for the Titan textures. Many of them are huge, non-repeated images stretched across the Titans' bodies. They're also used for distant LOD, so many times, the vistas that you're looking at are nothing but one big texture.

Kinda reminds me of pre-rendered backgrounds!

Is TAA used in portable mode as well?

So it seems like handheld mode's visuals are completely unchanged from docked mode besides resolution. Hmm...one of my warned posts mentions this. I will give them props for the UI work though. It is much better suited for handheld mode than X's was.

So far, the Wii U ports seem to have the best balance of image quality to graphics to performance.
