On portable its 480p.

So you take the worst option thats not even comparable to ps4? Surely docked 720p would be the way to compare it to base ps4? I think you should change the OP to avoid flaming.

I like how its flaming to state facts. The entire reason to have Switch versions of multiplatform games is the portability. The docked mode is essentially the worst way to play any current gen game on a TV. Which is why I want DMC 5 on Switch.

You know the way you said it is misleading on purpose, right ?

No its not. The reason to even have it on Switch is the portability hence I only care about portable performance. The docked mode would be the worst way to play the game on TV so why would I when I have a PS4 and PC.

Its also worth noting that if a game can run on Switch docked mode but is absolutely abhorrent in handheld mode like Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Wolfenstein and Doom were at release the game would get flak for it which is why it needs to be able to perform decently on portable.



Doubt it. It will be too much work for capcom to be interested in making a proper port



Sure. Any game can be ported to any platform with enough work, imagination, and lowered expectations. But is Capcom gonna put the effort in? Would people buy it if they did put in a solid effort? I somehow doubt both.

I bought Doom on Switch and have never played it in portable mode.

Let's not beat around the bush, your post was misleading. Not only did you not specify "in portable mode" in the OP, but as the game has a dynamic resolution, calling it an anything-p game is inaccurate. You should at least amend your statement to "can drop to SD in portable mode".

You bought Doom only because you don't have any other current gen platform.

The lowest common denominator decides if a game is viable on a platform. Scalebound was cancelled because it wasn't possible on Xbox One, even though it may have been on Xbox One X. If a game cannot run on Switch portable mode, even if it could run if it was exclusively playable in docked, it still wouldn't be ported. Its why mentioning resolution of a game on portable mode is of direct concern.

Doom has dynamic resolution on every console, and yeah the game is generally 576p on Switch and can go much lower. The settings are also lowered a lot, as its below the lowest PC settings where other consoles have combination of medium and high settings. The alpha effects are rendered at just 360p and the game still struggles to maintain 30 fps. Still it does put into question if Devil May Cry can be ported to Switch. I feel its possible but hope they don't have to cut too much from the game.



Yes.

 

It's called Bayonetta 3

Dayumm I almost never knew. Thanks for the information!



I think Ark showed just about any 8th gen game could work on Switch.

Doom also got a Switch port because there was evidently room to cut down a 1080p 60 fps PS4 game to a 480p 30 fps Switch game with reduced setting.

Doom on Switch is not 480p, at least not in docked mode, it's 720p-576p.

As to the topic question, can it be done? Yes. Will it be done? No, Crapcom seem allergic to treating Switch owners with anything but contempt.

Capcom support has been pretty good on Switch though.

You could argue Capcom is not putting their most technically demanding games on Switch but neither are most developers.

Its evident that porting technically demanding games to Switch and making them perform well is too much or much more work compared to porting games between PC, PS4 and X1. Software sales on Switch can also be risky if its not a family friendly type of game. Lastly, there is evidence that producing Switch carts is expensive when compared to BluRay discs.
