But I thought mobile was matching X series s now and switch 2 would match it easily lmao. Same story every time always over hyping the hardware by wishful thinking and trying to sound like they know what they are talking about when it's just wishful thinking 

Yep and for the life of me I don't understand why people fall for it over and over.

And one of the main points about the switch 2 closing the graphic gap is upscaling....  check out Alan wake 2....  it relies heavily on upscaling on consoles and PC.  Meaning the switch 2 won't be able to touch alan wake 2 without massive compromise.  

The only thing I'd add (and I'm by no means an expert) is that Alan Wake 2 is using a mixture of low, medium & high settings on PS5 & Series X so that leaves quite a bit of headroom.

Minimum spec is apparently an RTX 2060, and the DF are comparing the Switch 2 to an RTX 2050 Mobile (albeit downclocked - in handheld mode at least). They added a bunch of caveats that the Switch 2 chipset will add an array of features from more modern NVIDIA GPUs and that there may also be some 'secret sauce' thrown in for good measure. For instance, Matrix Awakens was supposedly running on Switch 2, whereas DF couldn't manage that on the RTX 2050. 

Add to the equation that if Switch 2 retains a 720p display, they'll be able to get away with sub-720p resolutions and have it still look decent with DLSS (in handheld). Also, DLSS is considered to be superior to FSR2, so there's that... Lastly, console ports tend to be more optimised.

In summary, could Alan Wake 2 receive a decent port on Switch 2 - I have have no idea, maybe...
