Far out, having played through several missions now, Indiana Jones may actually be more impressive than Star Wars Outlaws to my eyes. Seriously, this might just be the most impressive Switch 2 port I have played to date, and I've played the likes of RE Requiem, Pragmata, Cyberpunk 2077, FF7 Intergrade, etc.

You can see where they nipped and tucked to optimize it, (LODs, shadows, half-rate animation on distant characters, etc) but the cuts are mostly very carefuilly judged and the overall experience looks great and doesn't feel like a compromised experience.

Hats off to Machine Games for this one, you can tell they busted their arses to make it as good as it could be.

That's really nice to hear. It seems like most AAA ports on S2 are non-compromised versions, just something like a lowered specs version, which is great for a hybrid machine.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Yeah as someone who played a lot of PS4 to Switch 1, things are night and day better now. I still enjoyed the likes of Witcher 3 or Doom 2016/Eternal on Switch, but the sacrifices could be pretty steep.

On Switch 2, it feels more like the difference between a stronger/weaker console in the same generation, like say Dreamcast vs Gamecube/Xbox, or NES vs Master System.

Yeah, and on a side note I think that will probably be the course for the next generation as well, especially because it'll probably be similar to this one but with Path Tracing on most of the time. So I kind of expect Switch 3 to play the same games as PS6/XBNext, and in similar fashion, just with the PT settings disabled or dialed down.
