Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Alien Isolation, the first game to look better on Switch than on PS4/XB1?

DonFerrari on 04 December 2019

The name on the video seems a little contradicted.

Switch version from OP seems to be a little lower on several things, but doing better AA.

Still considering the game looked good on PS4 and that the minimum res on Switch is good this may be another great port for Switch owners to enjoy without missing much.

I had to rub my eyes a bit. But whaaaaaaat.

It is a port of a PS3/360 game so the PS4/XBO versions being much beyond what the Switch is capable of was always unlikely.

The raw power of the PS4/XBO put it ahead in resolution but the shoddy AA tech/implementation results in it looking blurry, 5 years later a better job has been done on the Switch port.

I have the superior PC version, but it seems to be a great port. Maybe I'll double dip... but I don't know if I can go back to a flat version after I experienced that game in VR.

Seems logical to me. The game was a cross-generation release and is 5 years old at that.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Switch version has other improvements too, like very well done gyro controls.

Good, now give me a psvr version :)

I think Cuphead was better on Switch too. 60fps vs 30fps and the resolution is soft no matter what machine it's played on.

Man, sometimes I forget how amazing Switch's graphics are since I mostly play cartoony looking Nintendo games and indies. It may not be able to push PS4/XBO level performance but man when developers actually try to make amazing looking games on Switch they sure can succeed!
