How fricking weak is the Switch that it can't even run a 2007 Source game at a decent framerate?

Once again, Ganker assumes that anyone else gives half as much of a frick about framerate as they do.
THAT IS JUST LOW STANDARDS TALKING, WE HAVE TO HAVE STANDARDS AND CALL OUT GAMES THAT DO NOT MEET THEM, homosexual.
Or just stop whining. I can't imagine the autistic shitfits you people would have thrown if you had to live through the 8 and 16 bit eras.
>8 and 16 bit eras.
You mean the period of time where every game ran at 50/60FPS and displays had zero latency or blur?
Wow, you really weren't there, were you?
Every game literally had 50/60FPS as a target (slowdown obviously did happen sometimes) from Atari 2600 until the 3D era.
It was the gen 5 systems that introduced 30FPS as a common standard, it was a mistake.
LCDs were a significant setback to gaming also, one we haven't even recovered from yet.
You never heard of slowdown?
I mentioned it in my post you moron.
shut the frick up boco
60 fps was the standard target, slowdown happened but it was never the target framerate and was extremely rare on consoles with a good cpu like the genesis
shh let the zoomer live in his imaginary world where the N64 had dynamic resolution and drops to 20fps while playing NES games
I didn't know that consoles back then were barely running 15-year-old games.
It's not like the console kiddie shit of PC gaming hand held device runs every game at acceptable qualities either. If you want handheld you co promise. Simple qs
this game can literally be play at 60fps on like a gt 710 stfu dumbass nintendo dork
Works at 60 fps on my machine (switch)
what?
i've been playing and it's running at a solid 60 on portal 2.
1 had a ton of little hitches all over the place. I haven't tried 2 yet.
Maybe they don't care if a game is 30 or 60, but they definitely notice when the game has slowdown.
Didn't notice any issues in 1 myself but 2 definitely drops both in res and framerate when you're looking through a portal and a lot of shit is being rendered twice
Regardless of performance though, why the hell would you spend $20 to play these games with a vastly inferior control scheme when they cost $2 each on steam right now and run on any toaster?
I didn't.
the switch is really not powerful and the port is probably lazy too (it was not done by valve).
does the port have gyro aim at least?
>does the port have gyro aim at least?
It does, I don't think it has a reset camera button though which is annoying
No camera reset button, and occasionally the gyro drifts. But that might be a faulty controller.
bit annoying, but at least it has that so it controls more similarly to the PC version.
can the switch really not maintain 60 with Nvidia at the helm?
makes the DOOM eternal port running at mostly 30 really impressive.
It runs at 1080p 60fps most of the time and looks significantly better than most other games on the switch. It's not a super complex game but you have to remember that it literally has to render a lot of stuff twice when you're looking through a portal.
It was done by Nvidia Lightspeed Studios, you know just the same people that made the Switch's GPU
>the port is probably lazy too
I wouldn't say so. It looks and feels exactly like the PC version and had no noticeable bugs during the time I played it which is legitimately impressive considering how much of a spaghetti monster the source engine can be. I think it runs about as well as you'd be able to expect from the hardware.
Source engine games run perfectly on toasters from 10 years ago
The switch just has garbage tier mobile hardware
That's what it takes to be the best selling console of the generation I guess. But a smart dude like you could have come up with something better.
>millions of flies eat shit that means it's good
>flies ignore this other log of dried shit that means it's good
Nintendies sure are easy to trigger
I played Portal 2 at 60FPS on my GT 630M in 2013.
The port wasn't lazy, it runs fine on the Shield. The Switch underclocked the Tegra X1 so it isn't surprising it runs worse on the device especially when no modifications were done from the Shield ports.
>it runs fine on the Shield
No it doesn't.
Looks fine to me with no FPS drops.
>Shield Tablet
Anon, you have to be mind fricking moronic enough to want to win the argument to pull out the oldest Shield device when I obviously meant the Shield TV which uses the Tegra X1 like the Switch.
I see many stutters, if you don't notice those then you wouldn't notice it on the switch either.
I played like half an hour of 1 and 2 in portable mode and they were flawless 60fps
In docked mode however I noticed stuttering in Portal 2
I did play entirely docked, so that might have something to do with it. It's still really bad that the game can't hold 60 in all configurations.
Same, hopefully they patch it. I mostly bought it for the portable aspect so not a huge deal if they don't for me at least.
The switch can't even run Kingdom Hearts, which is a PS2 game. SE released a demo for the KH HD collection and it ran like shit which is why the collections were cloud only
It has mobile hardware from 2015
It should easily be able to run Portal at 60. My fricking x220 can. Just smells like a bad port.
Shut up valvetroony, go make some more ports for daddy Nintendo while MS and Sony kneel some more.
I was actually mostly impressed with the Portal 1 port, minus the game hitching when rockets are fired. Now it's time for Portal 2
Also I hate this commentary node. It's like these nodes are becoming puzzles in themselves
It's been over ten years since Portal 2 and nearly fifteen since Portal 1. Why would anyone even bother porting this? Who would even buy this?
Is there that much demand for a 1-2 hour 1 year old game to be portable? Does Portal 2 even have its level editor?
Why would you spend $20 on this collection when Portal 1 and 2 are $3 on Steam as we speak?
I have so many questions.
Nintendies would buy a turd if it was ported to the switch
