PC version quality in comparison to switch?

[Scrangos]

I'd be disheartened if its a port from the switch version or something rather than the higher quality PS4 (PS5?) version.

Any confirmation its the higher quality one being released?

It's 3 months till release. No one is gonna be able to give you accurate information at this point. Just wait till release then ask the question or look at reviews.

Sort of :p I figured I'd ask before I forgot to and check in on the post a week or two later and see if anyone knew the answer. But seems the information isn't out yet so I guess ill check when I remember again.

Ya'll know that games are made on PCs first, right? This isn't some old retro game where the source code has been lost to time. Performance is dependent on your system specs. Why would you expect it to be any different?

They are made ON, but not FOR pcs first necessarily. The game gets designed for a specific performance since thats what a console has. Switch ports tend to have certain things downgraded due to the lower performance. If you base your port on the switch one (because its the latest and already has all dlc, balance updates and possibly bugfixes), it'll carry over the downgrades if the dev is being lazy.

For switch port downgrades you can look at this game, and the recent 13 sentinels game.

Heck look at the chrono cross port mess.

Not too surprising. That tends to be a snag a lot of companies porting to the switch hit. They develop the game with ps4-5 or xbox specs then they have to try and figure out how to get it to run on switch after. As long as its not some weird pseudo emulator on pc it should be okay... but nisa doesnt have the best track record on pc ports.

too bad the people making this are retro so they still have to use punch cards to get the game done, get off their backs.

I can tell you the Japanese PS4 version runs at 60fps and is 1080p. It'll be fine on PC.

my only complaint about the game on switch was its poor framerate. as long as this version has a stable and fast framerate i'll be totally satisfied. i loved this game.

It probably will, pc's can emulate the switch already, so i assume being on PC things will just be smooth, bring up the PC emulator thing to kinda make it clear the difference of power.

PS4, SPECIALLY the PS5 is a LOT closer to a PC both CPU and GPU wise than the pre-historic mobile phone/tablet hardware of the switch. porting the PS5 to PC will just be a matter of adjusting some settings. so yes its gonna run well on PC. almost guaranteed.

[Scrangos]

Well my worry was that since the switch version is already in english, they use that build/assets for the PC version.

[joslin1000]

I wouldn't worry. It isn't like someone won't make mods for the pc version to bring up quality if needed.

The Switch version is still the same as the PS4 version, it's just using real low quality settings and a very low screen resolution.
