You could see similar results only if devs that are porting game dont know meaning of optimisation, game is mess on every platform and probably worst optimised game of generation on every platform. For comparision RDR2 thats looks like most impresive and demanding game of generation works at 1080p on base PS4, while Ark Survival Evolved on base PS4 runs at around 640p with much worse frame rate.

That's why I said "not as drastic". I know the game is terribly optimized on every platform. RDR2 would definitely perform and look better than Ark on Switch. But better doesn't mean that it would look and run in an acceptable state.

No, but it doesn't mean either that it wouldnt look or run at acceptibe state, you cant know that. It really depends from how good optimizations is and right calls regarding cut backs for Switch version. Using this game like example of anything is wrong, this games technicall mess and probably worst optimised game this gen and that points that Ard devs are very bad in their job.

70 is just to much for this atrocity.

That's score on PC. I got the game fairly a while ago since my younger one was annoying me to no end about it, I've never played it, but he really enjoyed it. Technically it's a mess, and you need good rig to run it without hickups (luckily, I have one), but even then it's clear how unoptimized it is.

If even on a very good rig the game is still on poor performance I think 70 is to much even if the game is fun. But well, since I haven't played perhaps 70 is deserved.

I love it the realistic graphic turn into cartoon canvas like Zelda Breath of The Wild. Probably going to buy it. Nintendo games always have such awesome art.

Here's what they advertise it looks like on Switch, you decide if it's false advertising. Images taken straight from the eShop.

 

Wait, really? These are on the eShop? Wow, that's shameless. Could this be grounds for a false advertisement lawsuit?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Thats what i honestly cant figure out. Why didnt they just port PixArk as it seems like it would of been a much better fit for the Switch.

Well it will: https://nintendoeverything.com/pixark-announced-for-switch/

They could've skipped Ark as it looks.

Why does this even exist? That's criminally bad.
