Because of CPU. Dice had to cutback being able to use the ballistic shield and handgun in BF4 because of memory constraints. You think something more complex like Botw is feasible when it means removing the game's core mechanics?

In what ways are switch games visually superior to 360/ps3 games?

What do you not understand about the WiiU CPU being worse than the PS3/360's? CPU wise there isn't any only possible on the WiiU that couldn't be done on those systems.
In memory regards. Do you know how porting works? Memory constraints will obviously be taken into account.
Its like some of you guys think ports to lower hardware are impossible.

How is the ram closer when the switch has 4 freaking gigs of ram and the 360 and ps3 had half a gig? "take something like Zelda" BOTW is a wiiu port....
He's saying that the amount of RAM in the Switch is closer to what current consoles have than the PS3/360
Oops read that wrong. But the part about looking closer to ps3 than ps4 is still wrong though
Hmm...I suppose it depends. I see it as perfectly in the middle myself. Nothing like God of War or Horizon: Zero Dawn on the system but plenty of Switch titles, such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Arms, run at higher resolutions than nearly any game on the PS3/360, and without a hitch to boot. Then you have lookers like Luigi's Mansion 3 or Astral Chain
I think the honest answer is that the Nintendo Switch fully benefits from advances in rendering techniques that occurred both before and during the current generation and has the GPU feature set to support them.
You could get approximations on the 360 and PS3 with tricks and hacks but it's not quite the same. BotW has a pretty good tech analysis thread here:

Thats pretty much the beginning and ending of the story too. I don't think I have seen any Switch game as visually impressive as GT6 or MGS5 or the Force Unleashed and these were all PS3 games.
Technically as strong? Not quite sure where you are heading with that comment...
There have been a few mentions of the 360 version of Rise Of The Tomb Raider in this thread and It is a game I'd love to see brought over to the Switch.
The 360 version was a superb port BUT there are a lot of clever smoke and mirrors "cheats" going on to make the port feasible. All the real-time, in engine cutscenes were replace with rendered out footage and a lot of the particle effects, were cut back or replaced with pre-rendered sprites. Nixxes were bloody miracle workers on that title though, that's for sure.
For crying out loud you have no idea what you are talking about. You don't even have to go into details like more modern architecture, the very fact stuff like Skyrim struggled to run on last gen consoles and the Switch got a version more akin to the PS4 remaster than the old version should tell you enough. Or The Witcher 3 running on it at all.
God damn Doom 2016 runs on this. If you honestly believe Doom 2016 could've run on a PS3, you're freaking delusional. The fact someone in 2019 thinks the Switch is not only as powerful as PS360 but even weaker is mind blowingly dumb.
Now go troll somewhere else please.

Ill just use the first game listed, windwaker hd. The model complexity, shading, lighting, post processing etc is not as advanced as something like uncharted 3
I said the switch is significantly weaker in terms of cpu, not those other things.
Well yeah because you compare Gflops and nothing else, like someone who has no idea what they are talking about.
And again, you just have to have some semblence of common sense to see what open world games run on the system compared to PS360 games. It's not that hard.
If it's perfectly in the middle then that means it can't be closer to ps3 than ps4 right? In the middle is...the middle
Doom 2016 is superior looking to all those game. I dunno, feels like people haven't played PS3 games lately, they look ugly. Modern rendering techniques have come a long ass way.
Like I said before, it's not. Especially comparing the Switch's CPU to the XBox 360's. To think its significantly weaker you would have to ignore all real world data and basically make shit it.
lol You gonna use a GameCube remaster as a point of comparison?
Oh for sure, the middle is where I've always thought of it as. Powerful enough to enhance last gen games and get downgraded current gen titles as well as have exclusives that accomplish stuff that wasn't possible or at least wasn't done as well last gen
Im not the one who listed it as the lead in example of wii u visuals above and beyond ps360. What wii u game do you believe is technically beyond the best of ps360?
Can you name me HD remasters that run at native 1080p like they do on the WII U on the Ps3 and 360?
Thats one of the very few multiplatform titles where wii u secures a win but its also not the best available example of what ps360 can output
There was no effort put into remastering older gen games at 1080p. remember ps360 launched 5-6 years prior to wii u. 1080p tvs were not wide spread at that point.
BotW could not run on 360 or PS3 without crippling sacrifices like vastly reducing line of sight.
