Mortal Kombat 11 Switch VS PS4 (graphics and framerate)
- Thread starter Wander_
- Start date
I take it. Hey third devs, I have no problem with downports on a weaker consoles. Port away without fear.
Outside of cinematic moments, the Switch seems to be holding steady at 60fps. Color me impressed.
Looking good enough, specially for portable play.
That's being done on every version and it was also like that on MKX. Which is very smart IMO.

"Shiver Entertainment are another Warner Bros.-owned studio, best known for their work on the Scribblenauts titles, such as Scribblenauts Showdown, which released in March of 2018"
It is!
That would be amazing. The game is already worth a purchase. If they continue to improve switch version I think it could do very well.

Great frame rate, and I wouldn't be surprised if we got a patch months down the line making even more improvements.
There's a few murmurs that there's apparently a day one patch that may improve things further.
Although I'm happy with what I'm currently seeing!

I continue to be impressed by what Switch can do compared to its peers considering the difference in compute capabilities -- this MK11 port is a nice showing for what devs have figured out about its capabilities to date.

indeed. cut-scenes seem not that great but actual gameplay is impressively close.
MK11 Switch puts AAA third party support in a really good light. Impressive job. Nintendo consoles were infamous for half-assed, gimped and uninspired ports in the past, which generated skepticism and cynicism from Nintendo fans, but stuff like this is actually changing this negative stigma.
The day one patch on Switch has been retrievable for early copies for about a week now, it has been live on the CDN and the pirated versions you see out there require the day one patch to even run in the first place.
The Switch version is very impressive for a mobile version, even more with the fact that it is 60 fps. it was probably very challenging to achieve this graphics fidelity/performance on the system for the dev team.
Definitely buying the Switch version. Looks fantastic.
The people you are talking about most definitely dont own a Switch, know Switch isn't as strong as a Ps4 or X1, yet crucify any multiplat Switch game for its lesser graphics.
I still haven't figured out their logic either.

As long as you're not playing both versions next to each other, it's hard to find something to complain about.
Overall, it looks very nice. I'll double dip on this one in a few months.

I'm surprised with some of the "not that bad" comments online. It looks and runs phenomenally!
Do people understand Switch's GPU is like 5x weaker than a standard PS4's GPU when it's docked? (10x weaker in handheld mode!). It's CPU has about 40% the performance of a standard PS4's CPU and it has less than half the RAM (which runs at a fraction of the speed no less) for games as a standard PS4. It's an incredibly impressive port. Maybe ports like DOOM and Wolf II have made people forget the multitudes of people who said current gen only games would be impossible on the Switch before and after it's release.
The developers who ported this deserve a lot of praise especially considering the solid framerate aswell.

That looks fantastic for Switch hardware, shimmering is a concern but all things considered, that's a damn good port looks like.
Im sure everyone knows this. Purpose is they ported it so we have to compare how it looks . This thread is not to appreciate how powerful or small switch is . Its about how game looks compared.
It looks impressive for the Switch. The comparison is pretty zoomed in during gameplay, so you can't really see the (significant) difference in texture quality and environment geometry/detail.
The gap is pretty significant and noticeable even without a side to side comparison. But, it's definitely closer than the last MK portable port.

Ignoring what hardware a game is running on when discussing a direct comparison is stupid imo.
Most people don't know how much weaker the Switch is. Or even care.
Developers uses a bunch of smoke and mirrors to hide the shortcomings. And so far I am very impressed. This is nothing like the Wii vs PS3 era. The similarities are striking.
Especially with the frame rate in MK11.
Yeah I'm not on the "wow this looks great!" train. But I definitely think it looks more than serviceable enough and will probably guarantee a double dip in the future.
