Comments are rolling in on their opinion to the Star Wars Outlaws switch 2 sizzle reel footage that dropped today

Some were quite interesting, others funny. These ones are translated from French:
Intresting to learn that there's a ray tracing requirement on PC?
-This game is UNPLAYABLE on SteamDeck (drops to 9 fps despite a resolution of 720p, graphics reduced to a minimum and the massive use of FSR for an image so pixelated that it becomes incomprehensible).
- This game is barely playable on a ROG Ally X (720p, minimum, FSR max, 30 fps max with drops to 20 fps). However, this same ROG Ally X develops 4.3 Tflops...
- This game natively uses ray tracing, without which it would be impossible for certain areas of the game to be properly represented. Moreover, if you force the RT to be disabled by tweekning the game files, you end up with an all-gray game where nothing is displayed correctly.
- It is one of the three most technically beautiful games of last year, according to DF.
In other words, even if the image looks blurry, even if the framerate seems sluggish, it doesn't matter, this game is supposed to be catastrophic to run on hybrid hardware in 2025. So either Ubisoft are geniuses of adaptation (lol), or this game shows, in a much more convincing way, that the Switch 2 is ANYTHING but a portable PS4, which would be very unhappy to produce the technologies present here, even in its Pro version.
And I know that a whole bunch of dressed monkeys will come and explain to me that "lolilol but anything hahaha it's a PS3 level, brother", but it doesn't matter, a little truth doesn't hurt.

Steam Deck it's hot.
Even with ultra-performance FSR (so atrocious image quality, and I'm weighing my words), it goes very badly.
And putting Frame gen on top of it to exceed 40fps, it's just not possible, unplayable with the input lag that it adds....
The Ally X logically does better, even even the, in low, FSR quality, the image quality is still quite disgusting, it has the merit of being at least playable.
The Switch 2 will be halfway between that and the PS5. With a bit of luck maybe not very far from the Series S which already can't even offer constant 1080p in 30 fps
--------
I don't think people realize, it's one of the most demanding titles of this gen to date and it arrives at the beginning of the console's life.
It's promising. Of course, let's wait and see more.

Can Nintendo please bring back yhe Wii online music.
No. I blame that ducking shopping music for getting me to spend more far money than I should have.
Get your wallet ready! Nintendo, reinstate the music.
The fps was in the 20s it looked fuzzy but not atrocious. The problem is that when gameplay started and the camera was turned there was terrible screen tearing and frame rate judder. Fascinating to look at nonetheless.
I expect the Switch 2 ver to look like the Switch 1 version of open world games. It's more a case of whether you can tolerate it.
Speaking of which, saw a video last night on the Arkham Knight Switch port, they are wondering if the unlocked framerate means it might be playable on Switch 2
The smooth motion sticks are apparently the best ever invented.
They feel like they are suspended in the air and there is no noticeable click or judder, even when moving them to the far edges.
I don't think the joycon 2s use the same sticks.

I came here to post that. Lol
That Paul Rudd Switch 2 ad is a great callback to the SNES one.
It would have been a perfect callback if Nintendo had included modern sequels to most of the games in that SNES commercial.
That's great.
This weekend I played a lot of Pac-man Championship Edition 8-bit demake (Switch), I-Robot (Steam PC), and the original Pac-man (Arcade).
Didn't play anything this weekend but am in the process of transferring the save data from my original Switch to my newer one. I'll give the kids that newer model and trade in the old one for Switch 2 credit.

Didn’t play much this weekend as it was all about WrestleMania. It was a good show overall. Not great but not bad either. Played a bit of Street Fighter 6 and Blue Prince.
Started playing Miles edgeworth investigations on switch.
It felt both ancient and an amazing remake at the same time. I literally remember this game as having gba level graphics. I played it so long ago it felt incredibly old.
But then it's almost amazing having a 2D game updated so spectacularly. A lot of fuss is made over 3D remakes of 3D games, but no appreciation for 2D remakes?
Seeing the little characters emote in that detail is sooo cool. The only improvement I want from future Capcom adventure games is voice acting. If they can do it in Ai The Somnium files then Capcom should be able to afford it.
Found some really nice Cyberpunk Switch 2 video. Looks quite smooth to me.
Playing and enjoying The Case of the Golden Idol. It's a fun and enjoyable rip off of Obra Dinn. Empahsis on fun and enjoyable.
It will be interesting to go back and try Obra Dinn after this and see if it clicks for me better now than it has in the past.Emphasis Will certainly be picking up the recent sequel to it - Rise of the Golden Idol.
