the nerds on forums.

Yes, those nerds on those other forums.  No nerds here, we're all cool cats.  LOL

As for the full quote, yeah, I still stand by DF in general.  You can mock them for missing the DLSS but they're still a very experienced bunch.  They went against the grain when there was a lot of optimism online about the capabilities of the Switch2 which was based on little more than hope and dreams, and they were proven wrong on the use of DLSS.  Matter of fact is that we know very little about the Switch2's capabilities other than rumours and bits and pieces that were pieced together from all over the internet.  Knowing Nintendo, we won't be getting much more.  We don't know what type of DLSS they're using, if it's a modified version or one available to PC users.

I'd love for Nintendo to be open about the hardware like MS and Sony were, but I don't see them giving details or even interviews about the technical specs.

And furthermore, no matter how powerfull Switch2 is or isn't, once the next gen of PS and Xbox hardware launches, it'll once again be left in the dust, receiving only the occasional impossible port.

If you stand by them, you should agree when the whole panel say SF6 looks better in Switch 2 over Series S.

That's the problem, people, not you, (on GAF etc, doing console wars) saying its PS4 level based on DF comparison, then not changing their mind when DF finds different results, upon further inspection.

The problem is that the rest of us have seen the same footage they have and seen comparison videos. We've been saying what's plain to see, and they arrive late with the same findings. Meanwhile system wars douchebags have used DFs early findings as unquestionable Biblical script. Pushing this narrative that Switch 2 = PS4.

They have got a lot wrong, rushing to push analysis out based on early poor quality footage.

But seem more than willing to correct themselves when their testing finds better results.

So they're decent people, the return of John to the podcast helps a lot as he's the only one really into Nintendo and seeing how games scale to less powerful devices.

Rich stating the obvious fact, was something he probably should have said much earlier.

"Well, it's got better textures, no suprise as its got more RAM"

I saw the footage in the DF video and there it does indeed present with a much cleaner look.  It's a world away from the comparision pictures you posted earlier though.  Might as well ask why there's such a discrepancy between those 2 bouts of footage.

^New HQ Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 creators voice.

You can do Red Steel 2 katana controls and mouse aiming.

Seems to be running at medium to high PC settings. A user did a 1080p comparison with medium PC settings and this port looks much better than that.

Seems very smooth too.

"DISCOVER NEW AND EXCITING WAYS TO PLAY
Hack and slash your foes with Joy-Con™ 2 motion controls, take down enemies thanks to intuitive gyroscope aiming, touch, tap, and swipe your way through menus, or use your Joy-Con™ 2 (R) as a mouse and experience pin-point accuracy in and out of combat."

This is pretty cool, shows the difference between the PS4 and Switch 2 versions of Cyberpunk.

Also from what others are saying it seems to be running at better framerates/resolutions than the PS4 pro version. It seems really smooth so far.
