    The problem is people keep comparing switch to ps5, why can't we be happy that Devs can port new games to switch?

    • @Stefabeth
      @Stefabeth Před 7 měsíci +17

      Agree. It's really annoying. I get that the Switch was released in 2017 and is now considered "old" for gamers who are on top of every release, but I've only had my Switch for about a couple years now. To compare it to the PS5, which came out in 2020, is odd. It's not like when the Switch 2 comes out that I'm just going to drop everything and buy it. My Switch is brand spankin' new, and it does the job. It's the same people who MUST have the latest and greatest iPhone. It's crazy.

      To me. I view the Switch is better than having a PS4 or PS5. For simply being portable. I don't view mobile as a games platform and NEVER WILL. Not the same audience nor crowd therefore should be excluded.
      Considering the Tech inside of the Switch. This game is what the Switch can when you squeeze each single ounce of blood from the stone and achieve it.

      @@MaoRattoagreed. Its a console that you can play 5 hours non-stop on the go, that is a big win for me because I’m constantly outside and not at home. The switch made gaming so much of a better experience when travelling that it just became my most used console, second which is my PS5.
      The load times for Hogwarts Legacy isn’t a dealbreaker for me, I’ve played open world games in the 90s which have the exact same loading mechanisms and it is still as enjoyable. It being on the switch is already a big win (taking into consideration the switch takes way less wattage in power compared to plug in consoles, and the whole thing fits in your hand.)

    The biggest slap in the face to switch owners is the realization of how little effort Pokémon puts into their games compared to this release. I truly believed this was going to never be released on the switch and I’m just excited to have this game on the go and brings new life to my outdated device. Great video

      When it comes to Pokemon, I'm convinced they do that on purpose. I think they make bleh graphics cuz they're selling point used to be "the next one looks nicer" Sword and Shield looks bleh, Scarlet and Violet actually looks better but runs like poo! I bet you next gen will look slightly better, run more smoothly, but still not be as nice as were expecting. And they'll keep doing that forever

    Hogwarts should be getting huge props right now tbh. I'm shooketh that it was even ported over to Switch. Granted, I might get it for my PS4 Pro, but idk... I might just get it for Switch for the portability. Not sure yet. Haven't bought the game yet on either platform. But regardless, it's SHOCKING that they were able to get this on the Switch and I think most of the AAA ports are extremely commendable. The people who make these should be seriously revered in the gaming industry because, I mean, that CAN'T be an easy feat to accomplish. Kinda like how Grove Street Games stumbled with porting GTA Trilogy HD to Switch and patched it up to a nice state... then they came back around to prove themselves and completely revamped the Ark Survival game (with all DLC and features of the other console editions) which now looks like a presentable version of the video game that runs at 30FPS and doesn't look like an oil painting with terrible pop-in anymore. Not to mention, all the amazing ports done like Wolfenstein, DOOM, Dying Light, Mud Runner, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 HD, Witcher 3, Skyrim Anniversary Edition, Fortnite, Warframe, and so many other next-gen (at the time) video games that play nicely (non-cloud gaming) on "Grandma's toaster" LOL.
    I hope this game sells like hotcakes once people realize it's been released. I think it's up to people like you to spread the word about it! This video will forsure help, I believe. Nice review as always! :)

I'm an older person with 2 jobs (full time and gig work and my weekends are pretty busy with other stuff). I started hearing "There's no way...", "It's delayed because it's crap.", "It's going to be a pixelated mess!" but I kept my pre-order and just picked it up today along with a brand new memory card. Now, I can't wait to play this weekend. :) Thank you!

Valkyrie is not good looking on the Deck, I did expect more. While Monochrome Mobius and Witchspring R both look amazing on the Deck. Star Ocean 2 R also looks amazing on the Switch Lite and Fate Samurai Remnant is another pretty game on Switch Lite with excellent performance.

Get the version you want to play on its really not gona be a huge difference to your experience. I think it does still look great on switch and as others said it kinda look like a ps3 game.

    Awesome review on it! I got it on PC & decided to grab it on the switch and after a while you tend to forget and cut it some slack because it's way more convenient to play whenever I want and It's overall kinda crazy they got this game to play so well. The load times seem to drag a bit but even then it's not a deal breaker. I'd recommend it and I'm glad I bought it.

I WANT MORE !!! :P
    BTW. There allways was a gap between sony , microsoft and nintendo games in graphic : N64 - blurry cause cart capacity , Gamecube - blurry cause disc capacity ,WII was a little bit better GC but when we compare do x360 or ps3 - looks like from previous generation... so ... nintendo always was the same issue with their consoles i think :) maybe thats why I didnt expect super ps5 quality but something whats will be not compared even to ps4 version , something like low quality settings on ps4 (if that kind of pc settings could exist on ps4 ) . cya!!

  • @TheRavenArchon
    @TheRavenArchon Před 7 měsíci

    Panic button talked a lot about switch porting when they made Doom and Doom Eternal. The reason some elements look worse than others, while some still look almost as good as the other ports is because of selective culling. They made choices based on the players focus what elements could be downgraded to save processing, and which the player was expected to be impressed by. Random walls and pillars? Unimportant, drop their texture resolution. The giant magical chandelier the characters are gawking at? It’s a priority, make sure it looks good. I’m sure this seems obvious to some, but yeah, that’s why parts of the game look far worse than others. The devs had to decide what elements were important enough.
    Frankly, given how many people were saying there’s no way this version could possibly work, I’m actually hugely impressed. I have yet to play this game, and yet, despite having a computer that could play it, I’m seriously considering getting the switch version instead for portability.

  • @Adamtendo_player_1

    The Switch is a remarkable console, the developers should be commended for this port, for me I’m not impressed that much with the graphics on Hogwarts Legacy on Switch, it looks kinda ugly but the performance is more than decent, the developers of the Switch port of MK1 should take note and I’m sick of CZcamsrs complaining about Nintendo not releasing the Switch 2 yet, enjoy the current Switch and STOP mentioning Switch 2, the Switch is only system, which I haven’t had for very long, yes there’s better versions of Hogwarts Legacy, but I’m not interested and have no interest of getting another system just to play a better version, your comment about you being sick of being surprised by the Switch, reeks of elitism, I will never get sick of being surprised by this little fighter of a handheld, even if I had my Switch as long as you i still wouldn’t be bored of being surprised. I want the Switch to dethrone the PS2 and be the best selling console of all time, damn it.

    I love hogwarts, but not on switch. I made the fatal mistake of buying game digitally on xbox, only to get an Xbox series x plagued with internet dropping issues. Returned console. Bought switch copy of game.
    Honest truth? On switch hogwarts has loading screens for every building in hogmeads (town itself has loading screen too), the graphics are inferior (even if not using 4k on xbox, the textures and general lack of crispness reminds me of late xbox 360 / early xbox one games). The motion of npcs is laughable (steps look more like Michael Jackson moon walking), it lags a bit when changing clothes or navigating in menus... even running around hogwarts you will run into doors that act as loading screens when it needs to load another section of the castle, which is often. The loading screens take 1-2 minutes typically. For context, loading screens on xbox series x were maybe 5-10 seconds max? I was never able to read the tips on the screen on that system lol
    It is doable. The fact it runs on switch at all is impressive. This is not a negative against switch perse, but it is clear they had to do a good deal to get it to run on switch. If you can tolerate the above information, then get it on switch. If you want the immersive game as a whole, pray you get an xbox or ps5 that is not plagued by multiple issues.

    I think great examples of Switch ports are No Man's Sky, Witcher 3 and Hogwarts Legacy.
    No Man's Sky is a terrible port. The graphics are obviously lesser but loading screens are crazy long. Using tools like the terrain manipulator are stupid laggy and barely work. No multi-player.
    The Witcher 3 isn't a terrible port. It is slightly older so undoubtedly it was easier. It didn't get the graphics update the next Gen update came with but at least the qol updates made it in the Switch version.
    Hogwarts is damn near the perfect port. Considering how new it is especially. It added loading screens that really are the fast and not everywhere.
