It looks better than this...
Lol I have work screenshots than this.
I legit have a screenshot where the resolution dropped so low, Rex's face wasn't visible. He looked like The Question from DC Comics
Still put 220 hours in and still my favorite game on Switch and my favorite JRPG of all time. The great majority of that in handheld.
Well I take my words back. MK11 at its worst cannot look hideous than this. Which is quite surprising, since this is a first party game tailor made for the Switch.It looks better than this...
Being a competitive fighting game this was never going to happen. Unlike most action games. Fighting games animation key frames are directly tied to the framerate. This isn't a case in which you can slow down an animation that comes out in 10 frames at 60fps, and half that which it is 5 frames at 30. Because that also ties into reactionary input when a character goes into the active attack frames an back into a neutral standing state.
The input window of a move requires 1/60th of a frame at 60FPS would then become 0.5th of a frame a 30 which makes input timing even more strict. It as you say the game would be the worse for it, but not because of 60FPS being smoother, but because it would detrimentally affect the timing of moves at a fundamental level.
The only dev that ever attempted to do this was SNK with Tag Heroines and the results were equally awful and criticized as such which is bizarre because there is a better looking example that has more elements happening on screen and maintaining the required 60FPS for a fighting game, that being Dragon Ball Fighterz.
Some might say the solution was have the game render at 30 but animations run at 60, but that isn't a viable solution for reasons I've outline above because of frame data.
View the screenshots posted earlier in the thread on a 6" screen phone at a distance similar to your normal switch playing distance. If that is acceptable to you, then good, otherwise it is bad. . It can be objectively stated that the porting company has done a good job porting a 60 fps game, while dealing with the limitations of the Switch. Whether the quality achieved is good or bad is a subjective question, which can only be answered by you. It is not good enough for me, so I will skip this game, and buy Dragon's Dogma instead for my Switch.
I can beat that:
What? FAST can drop resolution so much? I thought it was mostly 1080p locked.
It can, in split screen local multi-player. In single player, it looks great. One of the best looking games on the Switch IMO.
This video confirms the bone crusher X-ray Effect. Good stuff.
In split screen it's dynamic but never this bad, this was a glitch where for whatever reason it dropped extremely low and stayed there (restart fixed it and never been that bad since).
I thought it was more cute than anything, it was like a retro throwback look.
It looks surprisingly good all things considered. I'm going to play it on PS4 but if portability is your priority, it won't get better than this.

you can't judge a 60FPS fighting game from a screenshot. especially when we are talking about the switch's awful captures feature.
That's some glitch LOL.
The Digital Foundry analysis tested 3 player split screen briefly but it didn't drop resolution or at least I didn't notice.
its running at 60fps on a console that is 4x slower than a base XBox One and yet people, who never seems to talk about Switch games, are complaining.
People who dont seem to know that the Switch screen capture system is by far the worst way you can do to judge its graphics.
Ok, then.
Anyway, I'll be getting it as soon as I can grab the physical copy in my country.

It is perfectly fine to use the screenshots as a guide. The jpeg compression makes the image softer and can hide aliasing issues. It also hides flaws like pixel crawl and shimmer which are far more apparent in motion. Check out the fatality video, I would say the compressed screenshots actually mask some of the visual issues with the game.
Should of had qloc or panic button port it but it definitely looks better than the vita ports of older new games. Especially that awful injustice port that had frame rate issues out the ass

Okay so I guess I shouldn't judge it by direct feed screenshots, because I was a little worried. This off screen footage looks fantastic though. Really impressed with how good it seems to be running in handheld mode.
I'm okay with the sacrifices made to keep the gameplay intact, but I wish they had simply made an entirely different version - think MK mobile, but keeping the traditional gameplay. That's probably way more work than simply brute forcing the existing game, I guess.
I played more than 200 hours of MK9 on PS Vita.
It was a blast at 60 fps and the visuals were ok (not great but ok, and running at 60 fps I couldn't ask for more). Not to mention, the entire game at the palm of my hand for 5 hours per day.
You guys have no idea what is the meaning of taking away a game on your pocket (or bag since the Switch is a bit bigger than the Vita).
Comparing to a console (even if it's the Xbox One Vanilla) it's useless. You have a total underpowered console that has to drain so little power of its components to run a huge game with everything it has.
I do understand the docked version could be a bit better, but come on.... that thing is the size of the PS2 Slim and running big brothers games at 60 fps.

It looks legit awful lmfao the art style doesnt help either like with games like snake pass being super low res but still look great on switch.
What kind of delusional shit... MKX is legitimately one of the best looking games of the generation even still, this doesn't come anywhere near it.
Yeah I agree. MKX still looks awesome.
It does look better than MK9 and Injustice (first one) though.
I'm playing Mortal Komat X right now. This is within range of it even though the IQ in MK11 took quite a hit. Saying otherwise is being disingenuous and ignoring the footage.
Looks quite a bit better than I expected, impressive port job all around, hope it sells well. I won't be able to grab it at launch but I plan on picking it up on Switch eventually.
I think it looks okay. I think I'm going to buy this for the Switch and get the complete edition on Xbox One.
I'm not surprised. That part even chugs a little on ps4. They should have kept the stare downs from mkx
It's still visibly cut back from the other versions, but that doesn't look awful whatsoever. Makes me wonder if the game is running at a higher res or detail level when the console is docked. None of the portable footage has been particularly flattering. The drop in detail isn't so bad when the game is moving at a regular pace, but when things slow down and get close up - like fatalities - that's where it looks like ass in portable mode.
I mean, looks like ass compared to the big console versions. It's still better looking than MK9 Vita.
hold my beerI can beat that:
see those green smudges in the middle? Those are enemies in Wolfenstein II
I legit can't tell if some of those handheld footage videos are ridiculously compressed of the game really looks that blurry, damn.
Still, it is what it is. Compromises had to be made and I'm still surprised they bothered to port this in the first place; it says good things about WB's interest in the platform and I'm glad.

Many things in this world do.It looks better than this...
Sorry, but there is no way MK11 switch is on the same ballpark of MKX.

Luckily most of the game doesn't look like that in HH. Because if it did I wouldn't have been able to finish it.
