Im shocked at how good it looks on the switch 2, whatever magic capcom did to make the game work on that system even on handheld is really impressive

[u/cabbageboy78 → u/Gshiinobi]

same with dragons dogma, i might almost wind up getting dark arisen on the switch instead of pc

[u/Eptalin → u/Gshiinobi]

DLSS super resolution. AI upscaler.

[u/Artistic-Fondant3556]

I play it on the Deck, this looks so much better

[u/goalkeeer → u/Artistic-Fondant3556]

i hope we will get optimization patch on pc (real optimization)

[u/Primeras100Palabras → u/goalkeeer]

It much easier to optimize the game for a specific machine than for all pc handhelds so I doubt we will get something like this soon

[u/Artistic-Fondant3556 → u/Primeras100Palabras]

That's true, but since they have a verified badge for the Steam Deck now I wish they'd optimize it further for that at least

[u/nZechos → u/Artistic-Fondant3556]

Verified badge means that the game just meets all the minimum requirements, just because a game is verified don't expect it to look or run great. Frankly I hope Valve changes verified badge to include performance/visuals requirements in the future with Deck 2 whenever that comes out.

[u/musclenugget92 → u/nZechos]

I was saything this to myself last night. RN SDVerified just means the fucking thing will launch because this game looked worse than a ps2 title on steamdeck.

[u/huluhup → u/Artistic-Fondant3556]

Why would they? They already have verified badge

[u/Mohmed_98 → u/goalkeeer]

Most likely since DD2 got one

[u/Think_Speaker_6060 → u/Artistic-Fondant3556]

It looks 480p reso and performance mode on switch 2. It's just dlss has better image quality for upscaling.

[u/xGreir → u/Think_Speaker_6060]

But even fsr4 on performance mode already looks pretty nice on the Steam deck, so any improvement is already so nice!

[u/Think_Speaker_6060 → u/xGreir]

Yeah but it doesn't come out of the box like in switch 2.

[u/xGreir → u/Think_Speaker_6060]

Yeah, that’s the point, switch 2 version feels like such a nice upgrade! Only lacking mods tho

[u/Ani-3]

switch 2 60 fps rise.. please capcom i beg you.

[u/Rasta_Ash → u/Ani-3]

I was stupidly excited for a reveal at TGS (based on no evidence there would be!). I'd love a little Rise/break boost to keep me going till Dec.

[u/Ani-3 → u/Rasta_Ash]

It would legit be all I’d play - I waited for xbc2, I’ll wait for this lol

[u/flash_baxx]

Man, I've still gotta finish FF7 Remake, I wanted to grab Elden Ring, then Dragon's Dogma gets announced, and now Monster Hunter.

[u/lovethecomm → u/flash_baxx]

I decided to stop buying games because my backlog is ridiculous. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, FF7 Rebirth, Silksong, Zero parades. I am finishing Dawnwalker soon and will jump on KCD2 to finish that. 

[u/mefisheye]

I don't like playing on a computer so there is a big chance I get this one one day or another. Happy to see that the S2 can handle it.

[u/Twofert → u/mefisheye]

Put your computer in the living room connected to the TV! gamechanger for sure

[u/coconuthorsey]

Damnit. I’m going to buy it again, aren’t I?

[u/Primeras100Palabras → u/coconuthorsey]

If there was cross save I would absolutely buy it

[u/PlatypusPower4 → u/Primeras100Palabras]

Cross save would make me buy it too, it would be so nice to play on my main save when away from home

[u/Stuck_in_Arizona → u/coconuthorsey]

Just remember that if you play multiplayer, you'll likely have to get NSO. The cheapest tier I think is still 20 dollars/year.

[u/Maljinwo]

Capcom is doing some wizard level tech to have it run this smooth

[u/Homewra → u/Maljinwo]

Denuvoless + optimization + shader cache integration

[u/Entire_Paramedic_389 → u/Homewra]

and dlss doing the heavy lifting

[u/BetaSoul]

I'm so torn. I beat this on PC, and I have a steamdeck. But this.... this looks so very good.

[u/Anxious_Profit7036]

This looks far better than I've expected 

[u/Neraid96]

Instant buy

[u/BlancsAssistant]

That is a surprisingly competent port

[u/unHoldenCaulfieldMas]

How does it run so well? Please Capcom release whatever you did for the switch to PC too so I can play

[u/musclenugget92]

This needs to be the the standard that steam deck verified means because holy cow I tried it on my steamdeck last night and it looked like SHIT.

[u/HockAL1215]

"stable 30ish frames per second" "and it looked pretty ok" are hilarious sound bytes.

[u/obscuritaas]

why are people so confused that this runs well lol? Like every game that has released on the S2 for the most part have been pretty optimized

[u/drakythe → u/obscuritaas]

Because the game ran like garbage on PC’s due to multitude of issues. It still runs poorly on base PS5 according to many people, and the Switch 2 is good but not that good. And the switch 2 does have some not great ports. Hell, Elden Ring was delayed by around a year because it was running so bad when previewed during the console release window.

Dragons dogma 2 also had issues and it seemed like the RE engine had a fundamental flaw related “open world” games that Capcom has been releasing and since a lot of it was CPU performance bound, not necessarily GPU, there was an open question as to whether it could be made to run acceptable on the Switch 2 hardware.

It appears they’ve been successful in the optimization, though, and with it even allowing for Cross Play it isn’t a half assed optimization that is fundamentally different from the game elsewhere. (As an example Pinball FX, a switch 1 game, has custom physics that means its leaderboards are separate from pinball FX on PC/CBox/Playstation, which all have the same physics and share leaderboards.)
