Forums - Nintendo - DigitalFoundry: Switch's Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition Is Not Really Definitive

Longer loadtimes....I don't remember the game having load times at all, in fact the game was seamless on PS4/Xbox one so now you have to wait 3-5 seconds loading times instead?

Definitive Edition = not stable performance (less than others), missing features, and insane loading times.

suuuuuuuuure.

Its crazy that on PS4 there are no loading screens, its just instant, and on the Switch it can take upto 18secounds.



They'll patch it. I'm still gonna skip it though.



Well, that's asinine, it makes no sense calling it the definitive edition when you're removing features from the game.



Increase in load times thanks to cartridges and small internal memory. But it will download quicker at 2.9GB... Why can't it install like normal games do though. Run-time decompression is such a waste of resources.

No thanks to extra work the CPU has to do decompressing everything.

They where so worried about the size of the game, they went full retard on compression and forgot that it can effect performance.

Its now 2.9GB instead of ~8-9 GB (uncompressed).

Good for digital download sales, and switch owners without much disk space... but bad for performance.

They compressed it to fit it on a smaller cartridge, so yes the loading times are because of cartridges and/or small internal memory. The versions on optical discs that install or download to 500GB+ HDD have no loading times. Performance is affected by smaller file size needing run time decompression.



The load times are the only real drawback that I see.
