Fatal Frame II is still my favorite in the series so I'm excited and will pick this up.

I love that they're doing a remake rather than a remaster. The graphics looks a little last gen but it wont stop me from enjoying this.

The game is releasing on Switch 2, so the graphics are probably built with that system in mind. Tecmo Koei also are more of an AA publisher, so their games don't push high end graphics tech.

I am not convinced that is true.  Largely because there is no need for many games.  Most games have minimum specs of a gtx 1660, which the S2 easily stands with.  Even the higher end ones that require 2060s, drop resolution and the S2 holds fine.  I don't think people are customizing games because of the S2, PC (for years upon years) builds around multiple GPU tiers.  There isn't a need to custom build for the S2, in most cases.  Silent Hill F runs on a GPU that S2 can match.  

Edit

As an example, RE9 runs on a gtx 1660 (6 gb vram) which is a 2019 GPU.  Games are super scalable, I realize I am beating a dead horse, but hardware generations are not software based anymore.  Frankly haven't been in a long time.  

Edit 2

Monster Hunter Wilds also runs on a 1660.  Expedition 33 runs on an even weaker GPU, a 1060 (2016 GPU).  Spiderman 2, a ps5 game (not ps4) runs on a 1650, which is weaker than a 1660 (30-40% weaker).
