Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - Switch vs PS4 comparison
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Yes I know but the gameplay parts look like ass so no point for me
Edit: saw some more screens that look pretty decent, maybe I was being too hasty to judge the first parts of the game I saw
You do realize you are posting in a thread that is titled "Switch vs. PS4 Comparison" right?
Nah, a 360 port would look noticeably worse. The Switch is a reasonable step above it
People tend to forget that the 360 and PS3 only has 512 megs of ram where the switch has 4 gigs.
I also reinstalled this on my pc and played it on the lowest settings which are lower than the switch version.
I also found out that a lot of her visions on every version are FMV played over the scene. Anything where she recalls talking to people.
I hope df does a piece on this version it should be interesting.

Maybe if you're comparing 360 to undocked . . . maybe. And it would still be worse.
Sounds like a logistical nightmare. Surely Nintendo selling 40 million odd Switches ar a rate of 15+ million a year is all it should take for this kind of thing to happen.
It boggles my mind on a daily basis that we see more support from third parties / dev studios going to exclusive VR content than the Switch. Boggled beyond belief
Crash Bandicoot as well looks great, IMO, and only the PC version runs at 60 FPS.
Not even remotely. The Switch is far ahead of XBox360 in terms of everything. Of course it would be possible to squeeze this game (and every other game) into a X360, but it would be hard to recognize afterwards, for starters it would be a nightmare for the developers to fit it in (almost) 512MB RAM (Switch has more than 6x RAM capacity of X360).
The Switch capabilities are much nearer to XOne than X360.
Im quite impressed with the videos I've seen, and can't think of some outright better looking game. Doom looks quite good too, but t's kind of boring looking compared to this (IMO). Then there are wonderfully colorful and crisp Nintendo's games like Mario Odyssey or Captain Toad, which are also 60FPS, but this looks more "current gen". What did you have in mind?
I think beyond bussiness reasons, bigger dev studios tend be more attracted to making games using the latest and advanced tech.
You know that off-screen footage seen from PAX?
This ain't no pre-rendered cutscene.
Edit: More screen captures for the unbelievers!
I think that is bs. They do what the publishers say. Publishers are full of shit.
This pretty much sums up the situation most publishers have with Nintendo: If they don't see the money (or moneyhat for that matter), then it doesn't matter whether the system is capable or not.
With the Switch, tech was never the issue.
How's this look and play in handheld for those who spent a decent amount of time in that mode???
Downloading now. My headphones are ready.
(And my aux extension cord because, c'mon, Nintendo.)

"You want our new game on Switch? Then buy this inferior game that we brought just to see who the hell are you guys. We think Nintendo owners are bunch of kids and retro freaks who play nothing but Mario and Zelda, prove us otherwise. If this test game does not sell well, we won't even bother with Switch"
All those games sold really well and those publishers are now confused as hell. We're still waiting for them to make up their minds and bring continuous support. We will see if they will go for it or not.
Probably assets loading in the background. That set, it occurs very rarely.
I just finished the game. And now I have some questions...
If you think DOOM and Wolf II or Warframe look good, this looks better. It looks great. And it looks as sharp or sharper than DOOM for now.
Could be that, it surprised me that it could impact playing videos.
Looks really nice, currently playing on the Xbox, game is good.
Might double dip in the future for a hanheld experience. If that holds up for the entire game, if anyone has sped through it in handheld please let me know =)

Considering how good it runs, with virtually no dips (at least non that I could notice), with some really good lighting to boot, I can see them trying to frontload assets in-between these cutscenes.
Here's yet another comparison. This one with a GTX 1060 3GB. Seems very comparable with the PS4 one.
Played few hours, it's very solid with a good IQ but it's not better than Doom or Wolfenstein 2. Low level assets (except for the nain character), poor texture quality, aggressive LOD, low resolution… with just one character on screen. It works fine in the end, considering what the engine and the game have to do, but I don't call it as impressive.
Though the game has always been on my radar, I've not played the other versions -- it's one of the huge list of late-to-the-party games that I finally got round to on Switch. From that perspective, it doesn't feel visually compromised, I'm not feeling like I'm missing out as I'm playing (though I am of course aware that there are higher fidelity versions out there); it's still an absolutely striking game. These posters with "looks like ass" and "360 version" are straight trolling (like, absurdly so).
The visual compromises that are there are smart and well-implemented. I sort of wish I didn't know about the pre-rendered video trick, because then I wouldn't be looking for it, but it does the job. For folks who don't dwell on enthusiast forums analyzing all the minutiae that we do, it'll be a marvel.
And I know everyone says it, but wear headphones. It's silly that Switch doesn't support Bluetooth headphones, but this game's audio mix alone is worth the $5 for an aux extension cable if you're playing docked.

The cutscenes look very close (because they are prerendered?), in gameplay you however clearly notice the big cutbacks in resolution, textures, lighting and overall detail.
Still an impressive showing for a handheld!
Wait wat? So basically all version use pre-rendered cut scenes hahaha?
Also, for someone like me who travels a lot, sitting in a dark room playing a game for 5 hours straight ain't really possible; but I have a 10 hours plane ride this week end and with good headphones, while everyone will be sleeping, it's going to be a glorious experience to play this game.
I know, I considered this. Doom have lots of enemies on screen, Hellblade is about atmosphere. Diffent engines, different strenghts in different games. Overall I find Doom more impressive despite I admit Hellblade have a good quality itself.
This is astounding! Amazing work by QLOC. More proof that "Can Switch run it?" is a dumb question. Ubi has no excuses if AC3 Switch is a mess.
What do you think is the best looking Switch game, out of curiosity?

I still really wonder why the Switch version is so washed out. Like the black levels weren't set correctly, everything that should be black is grey.
Wolfenstein, while being a lesser game, was technically one good step above Doom in my opinion.
What impresses me here is that a 900p/30fps game with AAA level of graphics could be ported to Switch while retaining the visual identity and the overall experience. It'll hopefully help opening the gates for more games of that caliber.

Yeah I don't know much about this game but I was starting to suspect that the transitions were there all along and just became easier to spot on Switch because of the disparity in quality. The shot of her face in the intro after it pans back from her kicking the boat looks like it just doesn't have rigging, so it doesn't resemble her cinematic counterpart like it's intended to maybe. I'm curious to see an analysis as well.
Edit: Just realised you were talking about visions specifically, I misconstrued things based on the other comment
Here's some more handheld gameplay though.

Looks the dev did a very good job.
THE best looking game for me is probably something from Nintendo due to the artstyle, but in terms of realistic looking games I think Doom, Wolfenstein 2 and possibly Warframe, Outlast 2 and Observer are better looking to me. At least in handheld mode, as I'm yet to try docked.
Oh my god, I didn't know about Observer, now I have to play it. It looks incredible!
Not exactly.. when ever she talks to someone like druth.. or remembers people. Those parts are fmv of real actors played over the real-time scene.
Some effects like her reflection in this particular shard during a cutscene is also fmv.
Did you take your drugs on time? (not a joke -
if you don't, every once in a while everything starts looking blurry and glitchy, and it makes you think something is wrong with the graphics
