You're telling me Ark is the best the switch can do. That's not a preference, that's objectively wrong. Would you like to rephrase? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 There a PC emulators that can run BOTW at 4K 60fps. Like I said specs and tech are objective. What you thinks looks good has no objective technical merit. Same PCs struggle with Ark because Zelda is a low spec game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pro is weaker than X but it has no game that looks better. That doesn't mean these games arent technically inferiour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can the switch do better than what the Ark port is doing? Yes or no, please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think you know what you're talking about. I think you're just babbling. Nobody is saying the Switch hardware is superior to PC or PS4 or Xbone. Third time i've asked: can the switch do better than what Ark is doing? Yes or no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can you get a better visual result with a game designed with Switch's limited hardware? Yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I keep asking you this question and you keep getting it objectively wrong. If it helps you to understand, Ark's problems by and large are not stemming from the hardware. It's a poorly optimized game on all systems, including PC. Edited December 13, 2018 by McWickedSmawt85 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 If you take a PS4 spec PC. It will look like the PS4 version of Ark. If you take a Switch spec PC and put Ark on it. It will look like the current Switch version. It's that simple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're describing a problem with Ark, not a problem with Swi...oh fuck it, you can have this one. There's no arguing with people who don't accept reality. You win. You're right, pumpkin, no games on Switch look better than Ark because that's the absolute best it can do. Great job, high fives all around for you, let's grab lunch.

DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 It's a combination of poor coding and weak hardware. The Switch GPU at peak docked is about 30% as powerful as the Xbox One GPU. It only has 25 GB/s of memory bandwidth and a much weaker CPU. Also Ark runs on a newer version of CryEngine which as we all know is extremely demanding. The game needs brute power to run, Switch can't handle it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will be visually butchered on Switch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
