The game is quite enjoyable actually and it seems to look pretty good until you compare it to a 4k machine. If these are the sacrifices to be made for games on the switch from 3rs parties than I'll happily support them with my cash. Not everyone can buy 2 consoles or a console and a powerful pc and people like me like Ninty exclusives better so third party support like this is appreciated
Hey, I have a PS4 Pro and an Xbox One X and I think the Switch port is great. Loving it on the go. Haven't read any other posts in this thread but I'm sure it's full of people saying how bad it is but it doesn't matter to me in the least!

I mean, 240p cutscenes of 3ds games look gorgeous.
If you have prerendered quality graphics, will be gorgeous in any resolution, on portable screen.
Kindly disagree. I cannot bring myself to use my New 3DS XL due to the subpar displays. Some people might be content with a fly-screen like image, I am most certainly not one of them. :P
I actually replayed Killzone Mercenary a PS TV pretty recently. The visuals are actually pretty ugly, OG Xbox has more impressive FPS games.
Killzone Mercenary had a dynamic resolution so it gets really pixelated, textures are muddy, and the character models look like 6th gen quality. It looks okay compared to 6th gen stuff but the Switch easily does better.
Ummm no. I mean sure, if you blow ut up on a full HD screen (via PSTV) and compare it to the OG Xbox on a SDTV it might look somewhat comparable, but just recently having played HL2, Black, and DOOM 3 on the OG Xbox (and just last year went trough Riddick) I can guarantee you that they come nowhere near of pulling off stuff that were done in KZ:M. Lightning, environment detail, character models and especially weapons look considerably better in KZ:M. Obviously KZ2/3 look better but KZ:M most deffinatly stands roughly on the same level as cross-gen 6th/7th gen FPSs on the later gen systems.
I'm honestly telling you the screenshot is not reflective of how the game generally looks. Its simply not that sharp, seems like better color in the picture, the lighting appears to be better. I'm not gonna deny that was taken from the game, it just resemble what I played for some reason.
This DF video is more reflective of my experience. Dull lighting and color, the texture quality is also at par with PS2. Its a solid game though and wasn't really designed for a TV. While Wolfenstein 2 was given its a Switch game.
As far OG Xbox, I think Splinter Cell CT, Doom, Far Cry Instincts and Riddick show the hardware is capable of some impressive lighting and character models. Some of that stuff is at par with Killzone Mercenary.

The 3DS screen is also pretty tiny. When you blow it up on the XL, you really start to see the poor quality.
I felt the biggest missed opportunity in the New 3DS was they didn't upgrade the resolution to 480p. That would made a world of difference in a game like Smash Bros.

Doom maintained higher resolutions.
The presentation actually is a big part of Wolf 2. Its a technical achievement on X1 and PS4, this is why DF is boasting about what they accomplished on Switch. They managed to bring much of the effects to the Switch, in compromise of resolution.

I played the PS4 demo and realized what I allreay know: I suck at aiming with joysticks.
The gyro-aiming is what makes me want the Switch version.
I do not underdstand why PS4 and XB1 does not have this option.

Ditto. I am content with 720p or even 480p in demanding games / areas, but anything lower is cumbersome. While I loved my 3DS, I hated these screens / resolutions.

Doom is older than Wolfenstein II, that's what makes the difference. Uncharted 4 was a technical achievement too, but isn't as an achievement as God Of War, because it's older.
And you decided to take a screenshot where the Switch version has its greatest weakness, aka water.
