      it's a Piss4 game. People are forgetting that said thing's already a decade-old console, that ran on lower-end mobile hardware of its era.

      Even a low-power laptop i5 + GT 1030 2gb can run the game at 720p/low/40-45fps average

        Remember when the narrative was that Switch could only run ps4 games at 720p or below? Funny how the goal has been moved to keep downplaying these kinds of ports lmao

            The resolution is 44% higher than on the base PS4 (1600x900 vs 1920x1080).
            Cutting framerate in half also means it'll drop as low as 20fps in harder scenes and cutting draw distance in half means it'll have terrible pop in.

                Bro, this game isn't new. They have to cut back somewhere. Things that are computationally impossible are just computationally impossible. This isn't bashing the switch, this is theorizing what they did to achieve that.

                That is to say, we know how demanding it is and how much the switch is capable of in theory, and the 1080p30 just doesn't seem realistic unless they did something to make it easier to run.

                This is also what I suspect. They have to use something like FSR or better yet some form of temporal uscaling AA and render it internally at 540p or 720p docked and 360p or 540p mobile.

        the PS4 is still 3-4 times more powerful than a switch, and still the game ran like crap on it, if they manage to make it run on switch it's an impressive result

    You are basically getting PS4 level performance on a tablet. Not bad actually.

    • 2 years ago

      No those numbers are even better.
      Base PS4 ran at 900p and "targeted" 60fps but would routinely drop to the 30s like in the more open areas. You needed a PS4 Pro to actually get 1080p and even then it could STILL drop frames.
      Even dropping the target down to 30fps, 1080p seems ridiculous on switch. I'll believe it when I see it.

          Replicant literally sold 1 mil copies within its first month, which again was a huge success thanks to its lower production costs, akin to Automata.

      I'd personally prefer a 60fps mode, but fortunately the game can be played more akin to an RPG, so it's not a huge loss.

      Fortunately your Windows XP era wormbox does not represent the average gaming PC of the late-2010s to early-2020s.

      People forget that Automata ran like shit on PS4/PS4 Pro, and was only 900p on base PS4 and couldn't even maintain 60 FPS.

      Anything above 30fps is far above average for the console tards, and 50+ is easily playable.

      >30 FPS for an action game

      it's an action-RPG.

    I think the LOD and texture quality will suffer too much. 720p30FPS with good image quality us preferable. But Nier Automata overworld is mostly empty when there aren't set pieces so it could be fine at 1080p.

      The PC port of automata has been fricked since release and required third party fixes before they were implemented in the main version. I'm sure it'll be fixed for deck soon enough

    Why didn't they spend the extra resolution headroom into pushing for 60 FPS? I mean, still great they got things optimized to a tee there but it feels like they could've pushed things further and lowered the resolution to get 60 FPS.

      Same reason why so many games run at native 1800p30 but can't run at 1080p60 on PS4Pro/XboneX. The CPU just can't handle it at anywhere close to 60fps.
