XenobladeDE dynamic resolution revealed: Handheld = 378p/540p Docked= 504p/720p
- Thread starter Lifejumper
- Start date
ughhhhhh
Yep. Shouldn't have expected much when it's 720 docked, but still. Ouch.
Torna and XC2 were great looking games. XC2 definitely had some performance issues at parts that were mostly patched out but was fine other than that.
I cant wait to play it!
I don't understand why they couldn't design this remaster to work around the relative power of the Switch.
It honestly seems like they just pushed as much as possible then knocked the resolution down to make it run.
That seems like a terrible way to do it.
It's not like they were designing with multiple systems in mind.

This game is going to be great. The previews said it looked good. That's all that matters is the reviewers who played the game.
I would just like to point out that wasn't my opinion only, but the impression shared by most (all?) of the previews
Similar to Torna, slightly better looking
Probably due to some simpler geometry (even if the game world is way larger than Torna one) and better managed filter
The 99% bit they eventually put in the OP is an assumption. Might be incorrect, tbh.
Being more or less demanding doesn't really matter. This game, like Xenoblade 2 on the whole, has had a pretty small team working on it and improving the performance wasn't a priority given the fact that their best selling game ever ran like this.
It's probably not. This is a screenshot of The Witcher 3 I took this morning:
Or maybe it's ok to not like things? I thought we were allowed to discuss games on this discussion board but i guess era is still handwaving complaints about nintendo games.

So should I believe countless previews or screenshots in this thread? Plus I think the screenshots look fine.
I guess we will just ignore the previews of people that have actually PLAYED the game and go with your hyperbole instead. :)
Yeah. There's a lot of people here who've never given two shits about this game, but all of a sudden they have drive by posts to make
I don't even know if that's true, just look at these two screenshots of both games running in handheld mode:
It's not a 1:1 comparison since there's no way to know the native resolution of either image, but the two images are close enough I think, and I honestly think XC2 looks slightly better there, probably due to its overly-aggressive sharpening filter, but it still looks cleaner overall.
This honestly looks rad, I cant wait to get my hands on this haha
mmmm so this is still not going to be pleasant to look at in handheld mode... shame. I'll still try to play it that way. I did give up on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in large part because of the bad res in handheld mode, though... but maybe this being an older game and me having played the original Wii and the 3DS remake at lower resolutions will bolster my tolerance?
We just have a few images to compare and almost every preview says it looks better than XC2.I don't even know if that's true, just look at these two screenshots of both games running in handheld mode:

It really is very similar when you put them side by side like that D:
The combat scenes that were posted looked a bit crisper? I want to believe...
How is it toxic to want good image quality? This is gonna look like trash on a 4K TV.
I wouldn't say toxic but seeing the raw numbers usually gets certain people upset vs if they played the game without being told what resolution it is.
Honestly it's not ideal, but when you actually sit down and play it for most people it should be fine. If you're going to miss out on the game because of this, you are missing out on an amazing game, especially if you've never played Xenoblade before
Now this is an extremely toxic post. I see we're basically back to calling devs lazy.
I would argue not wanting to buy the game at all is toxic behavior tbh, we owe Nintendo the money.
No seriously was there a preview that said the game didn't look good? I want to see it (genuinely asking).
i assume the leaked rom that people with hacked switches can play, which isn't exactly legal.
I mean I didn't really follow the previews of this game or Xenoblade 2 previews/reviews specifically.... but Previews (and even reviews to certain extent) don't usually go in deep in these kind of stuff from what I have seen. Did previews and reviews of Xenoblade 2 mention how horrible the game looked on handheld mode? (legit question because didn't see the previews/reviews for XB2) because I consider Xenoblade 2 handheld mode to be borderline unplayable (I was fine with docked mode for the most part)
I think it's understandable to be a bit worried about this for some people since their previous game (XB2 and Torna) had issues with how the game performed, especially handheld mode.
Game leaked out. Anyone with a hacked Switch is able to play it.
Are those previews talking specifically about the handheld mode presentation when they say that? Because generally the game does look quite a bit better than XC2, you can see that just in the trailers, but none of that really matters if the resolution is sub-500p most of the time.
This is the thread where people come to shit on Nintendo.
I love the drive-by shitposting: "where are the pixels Nintendo! Give me the pixels, I need them!".
