How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

If people cared strongly about high end graphics then they wouldn't buy a Switch 2 in the first place as it is well known to be mid-range portable tech.

The DF guys are tech enthusiasts, most of the general audience is not; John for instance got annoyed by Donkey Kong Bananza using FSR rather than DLSS, but I'd bet money that 90% of DK's audience couldn't even tell you what DLSS or FSR are.

I understand when John is coming from - I find Bananza on TV to be quite jarring on the edges at times...surprisingly, as they also noted, it looks quite fine in handheld mode. But those shadows that Oliver pointed out really look bad anyway you take it.

That said, they are doing their jobs - Persona 3 has no RT reflections, and they pointed that out. Which is strange, we have upcoming Outlaws that is nothing but RT lighting, and there you have Persona in something that can probably be treated as "lazy" port from PS4. So maybe fans that are interested in that stuff can make a stink with Atlus about it, while there's still time before it launches - and in some way, I guess Oliver did called them on out on that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against DF doing their jobs; as someone who finds this stuff fascinating, I am their target audience and I appreciate the work they do.

I'm just pretty sure that neither them nor I are representative of the average Switch/Switch 2 player.

That doesn't mean of course that we can't discuss it, this is a graphics thread after all. We just have to remember that a lot of their input is their subjective opinion.
