Forums - Gaming Discussion - Doom graphics comparison Xbox One X vs Switch

Yikes, why the negative Switch posts? It’s goddamn Doom, in a handheld. We should be praising Jeebus for that technology, not shitting on it. Of course Scorpio blows it away, but for what it is it still looks great on Switch.

Can’t wait to play through it on Scorpio after FC5 and my RotTR play through.

I'm still not convinced. I need a head-to-head comparison. Besides, the Switch has yet to receive proper 4K support.

Switch video is a bad quality video, can't really compare.

Switch is below 30 fps half the time, certainly not an experience I'd ever want in an action game (or most any game, really). Brr.

Of course, not having a better version on the side would make it a lot more bearable, but... yeah. At least the graphical fidelity seems similar.

Then I hope you never play Megaman 2 on it’s original hardware.

As mentioned before 9th vs 8th gen, less than 66% more expensive and still X1X put more than 4x better...

 

And as always Switch defenders sway between console and handheld depending on the convenience.

That is exactly why it is called an 'Hybrid'. Try stashing the Xbox one X in your back pack for a couple of weeks but make sure you arrange an Hospital visit in advance.

So it being a hybrid should hold the benefits of console and handheld but on the downside just be negated because you can choose what you want to call?

The current generations of consoles are quite weird and blur the line of what constitutes a console generation. The Xbox One X is not only a newer console than the Switch, it is a lot more powerful than the base Xbox One. 

The Switch is an impressive piece of tech because it functions as both a home console and handheld. Considering that the majority of consumers have yet to pick up a 4K TV, the average consumer does not care about the Xbox One X's power due to its 4K capabilities being redundant on a 1080p screen.

They don't really blur the line. All games playable on X1 is on X1X and vice-versa, they are still same gen but with different quality. Not much different than on previous gen with different machines running same game on different capability.

Switch is a NVidia Shield, so?

If the Xbox division wanted to, they could have easily released games that could only be played on the Xbox One X. That is how big of a difference it is to the base Xbox One. 
The PS3/360/Wii era did not have an updated console of this fidelity, nor did the PS2/Original Xbox/Gamecube. 
The N64 had a ram boost which could be added on to any N64. Same with the Sega Genesis, all of its hardware upgrades could be used on the base model.

The Xbox One X could be an entirely new console, if it weren't for the Xbox division's decision to keep supporting the base Xbox One.

As for your point stating that the Switch is a custom NVidia Shield - what was your point? You just state "Switch is a NVidia Shield, so?" without adding context. What is your point in saying this? Are you saying that the Switch isn't 9th gen, because the NVidia shield exists as an 8th gen product, or?



Both looked very good. Switch version was awesome.

To be fair, you do realize the Xbox One X version is invisible with just the console, right? You need a television (or monitor). 4K if you want the best picture quality, and larger if you want to really take advantage of the 4K. It's not optional.

The Switch handheld-mode comes with its own screen. Console mode is optional. And screens aren't free, even if they are only 720p. Which is a perfectly fine resolution for that screen size.

Am I being a Switch defender right?
