Forums - Nintendo Discussion - The Witcher 3 on Switch is a good port or not ?

 

How does look Witcher 3 on Switch

Definitely crap, too blurry and downgraded 14 21.88%
 
Like what we could expect, no surprise 7 10.94%
 
A bit better than what we could expect 11 17.19%
 
It is much beyond what an... 24 37.50%
 
It is the most incredible... 8 12.50%
 
Total:64

I am sorry, but I can't prevent myself to say that it looks crap. Ofcourse it is much better than ARK. No doubt here. But it is still ugly to me.

I don't contest the real effort put into this port, I can't really say from my poor technical knowledge if it could have been better or not.

I let you answer in the poll and the comment.

looks like I will pass.



 

Already played it on PC with almost the best settings and I will buy it again for the Switch
The downgrade of the Graphics doesnt bother me at all.. small price to pay for mobillity.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

It's a technical marvel, which should be considered for what it is.



Eh. Doesn't seem too bad to me.

The game looks much better using the mClassic (a graphic processor)

It's quite decent port, probably hardest one so far.


That said, it's an eyesore, just turning down everything until it runs reasonably well will get you only so far (yeah, I know it was just that, but let's not get technical).


Without going with custom art just for this version (like it was done in olden days), which would allow them crisper presentation, this is probably the best it could be done while being most reasonable (though conservative) from business side of things.



If I didn't have a PS4, I'd be all over the Switch port as a way to play the game. As is, I want the game to look good. When I do get the game, I'll get it on PS4.
The port, from what I have seen, seems to be quite the achievement. I really wonder when Rockstar will release GTA V on Switch. They could just use the 360/PS3 version as a start, and I think it would sell really well. The Witcher 3 has opened up the Switch to more open world games.

Considering this is now a mobile game, well its simply amazing when you think about it

Graphics are too downgraded imo.
