2:30 That shadow of the helicopter frame rate though. Lol.

400p@30 on docked with that much depth-of-field fog? Whew, the Switch had a very rough trimming

Xbox One X 2160p 60fps Ps4 pro 1800p 60fps Ps4 1080p 60fps Xbox One/S 900p 60fps Nintendo switch 720p 30fps

The shadow at 02:32 must be running under 10 frames per second.

Is he really surprised Switch can handle a 2D/3D platformer with relatively simple visuals? Switch is very low on GPU power but its still very cabale. This engine is obviously not optimized for Switch though.

I've had the Switch version since release and can't say I've had any issues with the triggers, the 30fps or even noticed any of the stuttering. It plays fine and as expected. Yeah a tad blurry handheld but I don't have any trouble playing it.

2:38 I love that switch logo split between different modes!

I'm fine with the switch visual compromises, but the lack of analog triggers is a very notable problem.

Great video Tom.

I tried both Beta's on PS4 and Switch and even though you definitely see the difference I was surprised that i was having just as much as fun with each. It's fun even when you suck. I'll get it when it goes on sale though.

Thank you very much for making this, Tom. I've been genuinely curious about this since the game came out last week. I've been addicted to this game on the Xbox One X, and was curious what the resolution was, and how the Switch version compared. The shadows seem to run at a lower frame rate depending on how much is happening on screen, even on Xbox One X. It's quite distracting sometimes.

This is the first game that I was interested in for the Switch, but decided against it b/c it was too much of a downgrade. Even w/the concessions made w/Doom & Wolfenstein, I enjoyed them on Switch.

Long story short, if a gamer wants to see the absolute best development on Switch that makes you say "How is that even possible?", look no further than Nintendo, Platinum Games and Panic Button.

Really enjoying the content, DF. Keep it up guys!

9:01 You can plug in a GameCube controller for analog acceleration!? Awesome! Now I'm definitely considering getting it for Switch.

My God, the Switch version is visually horrendous... Even the early 3rd party games on Switch like Yooka Laylee, Mario + Rabbits: Kingdom Battle, Doom, Fast RMX or Rocket League looked better than this...

Breaking Bad stage? This what i exactly thought. Its really from the serie?

The hitching and tearing is reminiscent of TrackMania Turbo from the same publisher. Trackmania tears on the base ps4 but not on the pro. Trackmania also seems to have longer and more frequent hitching on the base compared to the pro.

The switch defense needs analog triggers in a revision

Comparing Trials Rising on Switch vs. Trials Fusion on Xbox 360 would be interesting

You guys should do a video on Dead or Alive 6. I'm interested to see an HDR analysis for the Xbox version, as well as your thoughts on how it has improved graphically over 5.

I like how Forza 7 with MSAA can run at 4K 60fps flwalessly, and Trials somehow can't hold 4K 100% solid.

I notice something. Diablo Immortal - I dont use my phone to play games Nintendo Switch - I spend $800 on my phone I dont need a Switch to play games on the go. The sad thing is the same people are posting that

Just wondering.. -If networking issues are causing the hitches.. wouldn't turning off "Ghosts" help? I had to turn them off anyway. Really distracting to me.

Can you really only use a Gamecube controller with your switch when docked? that would be weird. I don't know of any other USB accessories that only work in one mode

Shame no pc test.. I find it fine on pc but the 60fps lock and occasional stutter on some places of track is a bit of a issue

The Trials games are cool but besides resolution this looks like it could have been on the PS3, unless i'm missing something.

Am I the only one noticing all that horrible white flashing in the background as geo that culls out of the camera frustum pops back in again (particularly evident in the city level) ? - Very distracting.

Holy awful compression, KZfaq! You guys should upload everything in 1440p so that the 1080p content looks a bit better. Because this is jacked.

I hope that you guys are testing DMC 5 and Sekiro right now. Skip Left Alive

Thanks for the excellent, in-depth breakdown! Also the fact that you basically stuck to showing footage from early game levels to avoid spoilers is greatly appreciated :)

This game really seems like it’s poorly optimized - XOne X can run Red Dead Redemption 2 in locked 4K but there’s a dynamic scaling on something that looks like this? Same goes for Switch. Just look at the more complex games that run on the console pretty smoothly and this game bare holds 30 FPS at dynamic 720p

the screen tearing/stutter TBH need to be fixed, I have found that putting *GHOST OPACITY and *GHOST OPACITY DISTANCE on 0, Help with the frame rate slightly, even if the game has to slightly lower the Res a bit more I personal dont mind as long as it run stable.

I've noticed that a lot of reviews for Devil May Cry 5 were uploaded about 2 hours, so I guess the embargo for the game has lifted? Can you tell us when we can expect a video for the finished game?

How a game like this cust so much in the hardware?

I’m really intrigued now to see just how people manage playing on some of the hard or extreme tracks using a Switch controller. The analog triggers are essential by that point and I really couldn’t imagine using the stick for throttle very well. Still glad to see it get released on all platforms for all to enjoy. One of my most favourite games.

Great positivity here, while keeping an honest look at the versions. Good stuff

Proud papa of X1X

I find it kind of baffling how you can have a game like Fast RMX, running at 60fps and looking gorgeous, and then you have a relatively tame in comparison visually Trails and yet it looks like complete garbage. This is like Wii levels of downgrade.

Graphically this game doesn't look that great poorly optimised?

Playing this right now in 2023 on series X for the first time and it's awesome.

Poor optimization across the board.

2:33 Look at that 5fps helicopter shadow.

Strange. They are seemingly using the same engine as Trials Fusion and that ran flawlessly on my base PS4 other than texture pop-in issues that can only be fixed with an SSD. Anyway no crazy stutters or tearing for sure.

a switch pro really needs to be on the horizon because when the next generation of consoles come out this power gap is only going to widen and it's going to be like the 3ds vs the ps4. Obviously not to the same extent, but if nintendo wants to keep 3rd party support they need to think of something.

Wow I see so many people in the comment section downright calling out Nintendo switch is weak as fuck clearly those people don't actually own a Nintendo switch console like I do and I am proud to say it does run first-party games extremely smooth and looks great it all comes down to trials Rising optimization they didn't do a great job optimizing it for the switch it actually has to do with the type of game engine they are using which is having terrible performance on every platform trust me when I tell you this it is not the switches fault it is red Lynx fault not optimizing the game to run on a default settings on every platform even PC is having terrible performance in Trials Rising it doesn't matter if you have the world's most powerful gaming computer it will still run terrible due to their game engine not properly optimized and there is nothing you can do about it only redlynx has access to the game engine and fix the problem the guy in the video literally said every platform has somewhat terrible performance even Xbox One X has somewhat screen tearing and frame rate dipping so some of you who are talking shit at Nintendo switch shut the fuck up and be quiet however I did my own test in Trials Rising open beta on my Xbox One X and PS4 Pro and Nintendo switch I noticed I don't have no frame rate issues or screen tearing on the One X and the pro like he said in the video simply because I activated performance mode on the One X and boost mode on the pro so I'm pretty sure he was testing One X and the pro without performance mode and boost mode so for those who have these consoles like I do please activate performance mode on the One X and if you have the pro please activate boost mode this will greatly improve FPS stability on every game that I have tested out so far and please enable supersampling mode if you want to have better image quality plus if you have HDR support you will have the greatest visual Quality In history 😍👍

You planning on doing a tech analysis on Dead or Alive 6?

There's this, but no *Starlink* comparison.

Tbh the switch version just isn't a well done port to begin with.

2:32 Holy! Check out the shadow of the helicopter. It's a sideshow.

Where is Jean? Digital Foundry is not Digital Foundry without him!

This looks bonkers! Very fun to watch game. Too nerve racking for me to actually play though.

Who knew n64esque kryptonite fog would be used on a modern day console. But wow, that difference in the first level is unreal.

The Switch versions biggest issue is the lack of analog triggers on the controller. I tried the demo, and it really hurt the experience.

Why are you susprised it's on the Switch? The thing sold 32 mil units to date, of course companies will want to port their games over. Hell Ubisoft tried the Cloud edition of Assassins Creed Oddysey in Japan and they are porting AC 3 on it too. Remember when Call of Duty missed the Wii? Then when the system got really popular, all of the sudden we saw Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3 on it?

My main question is this game such an upgrade over Fusion that they couldn't port it at 60 fps to a weaker platform or is it just a bad port in that department? They were able to get Fusion to run on 360 at 60 just fine, but it's odd to see this one only hit 30 on switch.

Anyone notice a difference when installed to a SSD?

I still bought the Switch version, it's a perfect game for short sessions in portable mode. However, effort should and could have been done, the game is nothing special visualy speeking, a solid 60FPS, even 900p would certainly be possible on Switch

Just when I was about to go to sleep 🔥

Why even have a switch port just build one from the ground up for the switch like the mobile games

Hey have you guys heard about this "The Devil May Cry But I Won't" game that's launching soon

When will people make a switch version of there game ground up just like other consles..this isn't even that visually intense game..smh

2:14 Reduced animation rate on Xbox as well for the bird's shadow.

Can I get a df retro on silent Hill 3? Please.

X - dynamic 4k60 Pro - dynamic 1800p60 PS4 - dynamic 1080p60 S- dynamic 900p60 Switch Dock,- 720p30. Dynamic resolution. Many graphical cut backs Switch HH - 408P.

Switch version have improved alot since this. I also have it for Xbox One X. Switch is to play it in portable mode.

I picked up Urban Trial Playground for Christmas and have had fun with that on Switch. Loved playing on the 3DS. How does this game compare?

Did they mention the screen tearing on original X1?

9:00 Grid Autosport on switch did the same thing

The Xbox is 900p and you make that sound not much better than the switches 720p buy the switch is also half the frame rate

Where is your 1660ti reveiw?

First handheld game? What about the 3DS game(s)?

Ubisoft releases the latest Trials on Nintendo Switch: "This is poorly optimised, look at those shadows and textures jajajajajajaja..." Ubisoft doesn't release the next Trials on Nintendo Switch after criticism: "WHERE'S THE SWITCH PORT?! REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" I can see this happening from a mile away...

Looks fine to me. I’m not expecting a 1:1 conversion, nor am I being unrealistic about the hardware, unlike some.

The thing about Nintendo is that since the SNES there's been cutbacks when compared to their piers, and to do that there has to be an upside, a good gimmick even that makes it worth while to get an inferior version a la Wii and especially Switch . If the Switch was only a console this would be very bad, but since it's also a hand held it evens out, and it's very good for what it is.

T hacks Tom! Those half frame rate shadows are so jarring on switch but otherwise a good port! Shame I can't buy it one time and play everywhere!

Astroturfing is fun... p.s. scaling down to 408p (sub Wii levels) 30fps in docked mode is not a "really solid showing" when you are looking at graphics not up to par with the consoles.

10:16 Holy frametimes, Batman! Look at that stutter.

noice. Looks like the perfect handheld game! Thx DF!

You should have included the level loading and reloading times. That would have given the Switch a nice first place. 😉

I have a switch and not bad for a handheld! I will probably get it because having PS4 pro graphics on a handheld is amazing!!!

Well, I'll just say that my experience on Switch (portable) has been a fair bit worse. I don't know if it's later levels, or perhaps cartridge vs SD card, but I get pretty severe frame drops, asset pop-in, texture pop-in, and random error messages interrupting gameplay when it "loses connection" to the servers. Sadly regret wanting to have this game portable vs xbox or pc.

At 03:17, you say that the switch is running at the "next rung down" from the "Xbox showing", saying it is running at "720...." That's a straight up lie. You have compared the vertical resolution of the Xbox (900) to the horizontal of the switch (725). You know this, which is why you hesitated to say the letter p. You see, this is why this channel is not entirely reliable, because of spin like this.

weird that the shadows run at a lower framerate

Yikes! Holy downgrade Batman! I understand the switch is weaker but how can a game like wolfenstein 2 get ported with all of the geometry in tact with lower res and lower quality effects but still essentially be the same game yet this game they practically have to get rid of all bg models

Trials Urban Freestyle was released on 3DS?!

Playing it right now on Switch .. it's really really fun game

ninja tracks on switch will be impossible...

Switch port is actually pretty good imo

Seems like with more time each version could have been perfected.

Yikes at the switch version

XBOX ONE X 4K 60fps PS4 Pro 1800p 60fps PS4 1080p 60fps XBOX ONE S 900p 60fps Switch 720p 30fos

Great analysis

I enjoyed the Switch Beta, I'll pick it up when it's cheaper though.

More switch comparisons please

Thanks, Richard!

They launched a update that fix the graphics and looks better

The Switch, the standard definition console in 2019! What a remarkable achievement that is.

I didn't even know this game exist.

the best trials game was on Vita tho. The first trials game on handheld?
