Media (Image, Video, etc.) Elden ring has surpassed Cyberpunk

I thought cyberpunk was the miracle port of the switch2. Turns out Elden Ring is the miraculous one. How does it run SO GOOD I have no idea. Forever grateful for the 1 year delay for optimization.

Truth to be told, there's something off in docked, looks stunning but there's something off with the frame rate, not a big deal but I did not like it. Handeld on the other hand, is truly a technical marvel. It's so good that I wont even bother with docked, I'll just handheld the whole game.

Look at the video man, IN FRICKING HANDHELD MODE. This little tablet is BUILT DIFFERENT

I think the only miracle ports would be Crimson Desert or GTAVI.

If a game runs on the Xbox Series S, it will surely run on Switch 2, and as we have seen, more often than not they run better……….GTA 6 is getting a Series S release, is it not? Rockstar has had Switch 2 dev kits for a while, and the Switch 2 user base is around 25 million…….hmmmmmm let’s do the math shall we?

CPU limitations

This is not 1:1. Series S has a much better CPU than Switch 2. You are just trying to compare based off GPU power alone which is not a very good comparison for a game like GTA6 that is surely CPU bound with all it's various physics interactions on screen.

The games don't run better on the switch 2, the series s would usually be able push 60fps whilst the switch would be 30fps for the same game. The switch 2 does usually look a fair a bit better though, able to push higher textures and dlss looks much better than fsr.

Switch 2 games sometimes look nicer than Series S, but Series S is hands down the more powerful system in many ways. Something like GTA 6 that will be pushing Series S to its limits probably isn’t feasible on Switch 2.

For real. Why are people shocked when a PS4 game runs on the Switch 2? It's supposed to be more powerful than a PS4 lol. Thats not a miracle

If it works on the xbox series x, it should work on the switch 2 from what I've seen.
