Does that game run well on any console though?

With those Metascores I sure would hope so.

Well I had some issues with it when playing it on the PS3.

After watching the vid, the Switch and PS4's versions aren't as identical as the commentary suggests.
I mean the analysis is fine but they downplay the difference by using lines like "the Switch version compares favourably" several times. I've seen them kick up more of a fuss highlighting differences that can only be seen by zooming in 300%. It just seemed like their analysis and the commentary to go with it were at odds compared to other comparisons.

They're afraid of being DDOSed. 

Though, I guess if you consider the Switch isn't even half the power of the PS4, it does compare decently.  The resolutions suck, though.  Guessing they didn't have much time to optimise and are just using the extra power of the Pro to do its thing at getting it to 1080p and 60FPS.  If optimized, I have now doubt the PS4 OG could do this game in 1080p30FPS.

Were those issues frequent framerate stutters coupled with tearing?

Its been a while since I played it, but I remember having to load my game several times because a boss glitched out and I couldnt beat him.



Been playing this on my Switch, it's great fun. A nice little addition to the library.

Cart vs HDD. Makes perfect sense actually.

But there is no physical copy of this game, is there?

I meant flash. Brain fart.

The general tech is fairly nice for a small title, but it being 864p on the PS4 is awful. 675p on the Switch is more excusable given Nintendo themselves see 720p as a viable target for the platform, but it's still not great. It'll be interesting to see how the Pro fairs; they mention 60fps in the article, but no the resolution or stability.

I don't think the developer should be actively mocked for it, it's a low-key title releasing on damn near everything, but it's enough that i'd absolutely never buy it on the PS4 or Switch. My backlog is too big for me to need to deal with that shit

loading is better on Switch?? Like what?


Good port. Still won't buy it

Solid State vs Mechanical Drive, It should be the faster on the Switch, though if you put a SSD in the PS4 then differences will disappear.

Certainly a contender for worst looking PS4 Game
