| zygote said: This is a bad trend and looks like Doom set the FPS standard. Doom is understandable as the graphics powerhouse that it is, but this game should not be at those same expectations. I would expect at least 1080p docked or higher framerate. Sadly, I think Mario Odyssey set the 720p standard. I know we are still seeing the limitations of the system, but we have also seen some pretty impressive outcomes with some titles. I think it comes down to an efficiency issue with how the games were designed and developed and the amount of time that the developers are willing to put into the port. I would say that it is much easier to just make a PS4/Xbox one port 720p and 30fps and call it a day. Take NBA 2K18, sure the game has pretty high visuals, but the files sizes are outrageous. I do not think that developers are at an acceptance with Switch where they are willing to dedicate their development cycle to these considerations just yet. As they game more experience with the system and Switch keeps dominating the market in the upcoming year, we will likely see these trends change but how long until is the issue. |
Are you talking about the E3 build of Odyssey? That was reported to be 720p. However, Digital Foundry have confirmed that the latest build/previews of Mario Odyssey runs at 900p at 60fps docked.

Nintendo apparently optimizes their games and build them up in resolution. Splatoon 2 is another example of this.
