>โ€œThere are several factors to consider. First, we intentionally used effects like hit-stop and slow motion to emphasize impacts. Second, because we use voxel technology, there are times when there are major changes and destruction in the environment. Weโ€™re aware that performance may drop slightly at these times. However, as you say, overall the game is smooth, and at points where large-scale changes occur, we prioritized fun and playability.โ€

YOU SPENT MONEY TO OWN THIS PRODUCT. NEVER FORGET THAT. NEVER FORGET YOU PAID FOR SOMETHING EVEN IN-HOUSE DEVELOPERS ARE ADMITTING HAS PERFORMANCE CEILINGS THEY CAN'T OVERCOME.

FUCKING.

PATHETIC.

If you've seen the game in action you would very quickly realize that a lot more is happening in it than basically any other game ever made.

Nah, they just put in a ton of CPU stressing systems and effects to make the destruction look nice. They should've tried to hunt down the guys who worked on geomod.

The difference between a game like this and bloodborne having poor performance is a casual 3D platformer doesnt need a good framerate, its just a quality of life thing. Bloodborne on the otherhand i am still pissed i cant get more than 20fps on.

Not surprising considering the Switch 2 was meant to be a Switch Pro but Nintendo decided to sit on it for a 2025 release and call it a Switch 2.

The switch pro was meant to be released in 2021 but was canceled likely around 2019, and then in 2021 they began work on the switch 2 instead

How the fuck does the game look THIS BAD and have performance problems. everything is super low res and low poly.
Mario odyssey had WAY better graphics, it had destructible meshes too like dirt and snow it ran on the switch 1 at 60 fps.

Heres the actual interview and the discussion about the game. Dont know why they only chose to regurgitate about the small frame rate section about it. NE has been slipping, big time in providing actual "journalism". This is just click bait to be reposted by mad sony fanboys.

Anyone who genuinely believed the switch 2 would hit 1080/120 or 4k/60 and not look several generations out of date is a fucking idiot. I say this as someone who only buys Nintendo consoles. Anyone who actually plays on Nintendo systems should have seen the pattern by now.

Same reason Sony put 8k on the box and NVIDIA said that the RTX 3090 is capable of 8k. There might be demo's that can have such hardware run at those specs but there will probably never be any first party games that run at 120hz undocked.

Funny, I just read the whole thing and something that caught my eye was that Motokura admitted that they redesigned DK with Miyamoto in mind. Mind you, anyone with eyes could tell, but at least we've got a straight confirmation right from the horse's mouth. What's even funnier is that they said they took into account his wild and "cool" factor. Fucking where, lol. If anything he looks more cutesy and dumb.

I doubt it'll be the standard for every game going forward, but clearly games that push the tech limits like Bonanza and the Zelda games will be given more leeway for performance issues than games like Smash or 2D Mario games.

Yeah the only games I can see actually hitting that resolution and framerate are sidescrollers and Switch 1 ports like Prime 4. Even with that game it's a choice between 4K60 or 1080p120

Graphics aren't necessarily important if you have a charming aesthetic. This game does not have that.
Performance however, is absolutely important when it affects the actual playing of the game. The fact that these rather simplistic "gameplay elements" push the brand new $500 system to it's knees only speaks to the incompetence of Nintendo.
