Digital Foundry: Sniper Elite 3 a superb Switch convertion. Switch version runs better than base X1. version.

I can't believe we're arguing over some 6.0 flop.

"It's safe to say that the experience was inconsistent, especially on the Microsoft console, and I actually think I prefer the nigh-on locked 30fps that Sniper Elite 3 delivers on Switch. Gameplay feels evenly paced, v-sync is locked and across detailed analysis of five missions and online plays, no major dips from the target were recorded."

 

DynamiteCop thinks these analysis videos are solely based on the summary they give us or the length of the video..... his dumbass doesn't realize the video is just a summary of their total play time......" bbbbut 5 mins"

 

 

 

 

Bbbut they're lying I swears it

It's not a locked Vsync at all the times on base X1... its Dynamic.  When the frame rate drops below 30fps on base Xbox1, Vsync is disabled and it tears at that point. 

 

They have already updated the article to account for the Vsync patch on base X1

 

It's essentially locked.  It barely drops... and the one tear they did find happens at the very bottom of the screen.  There couldn't be a less affecting thing to bring up.  You wouldn't even notice it unless DF told you about it. 

 

Now.. about that dip/stutter when you shoot in x-ray mode on the Switch... you noticed that, right?

How would anyone notice a drop to 15 FPS? Preposterous!

Dynocrap got, straight-up, RAPED like a bitch, in this thread.

 

He's literally trying to argue Digital Foundry saying , straight-up, that the Switch version runs better. Its hilarious because you can tell the very moment he gets pissed and is trying to throw anything he can up against the wall to see what sticks. LOL

Nah.  He's right about this.  XO version is definitely better than the Switch version on all fronts with vsync engaged.  How can the Switch version run better when performance is always worse?  Tom said he prefers.. the more consistent experience from the Switch verison... while completely omitting the fact that you can lock the XO version to 30fps with vsync.

 

Basically... Tom didn't do his job well

Tom omitted pertinent information..  You wouldn't let them get away with that if it was either Sony or Nintendo... so nah.  Acting like the locked 30fps mode doesn't exist is just wrong.

With screen tearing, it exists with screen tearing.........nothing was omitted, its mentioned.

No.  It wasn't mentioned.  He said that he prefers the more consistent 30fps of the Switch version instead of the fluctuating 60fps of the XO version he was comparing it to.. which was before the game was patched... completely omitting the fact that you can lock it to 30 and get an almost 100% consistent experience... FAR MORE CONSISTENT mind you... that the Switch version which drops frames when shooting into x-ray mode.

 

It absolutely is what it is.

almost 100% isn't 100%.

 

It drops frames, and it has screen tearing.

It drops far less frames than Switch... and has one unnoticeable screen tear that they caught on camera.

 

Tom should have done his job better and mentioned and actually shown the Xbox version he was comparing it to.  But no... he talked about the Xbox version... what he remembered from it... omitting the fact that it was patched and much improved since then.

 

Tom did a bad job.  Don't be stupid and defend him.  The XO version is better.

then it drops frames and still has screen tearing.

 

They're right. If you subjectively think that's a better balance of performance sacrifices, then that's your own opinion.

 

It isn't the opinion of Digital Foundry.......this isn't a surprise, they have always considered screen tearing to be among the biggest graphical "sins" since forever.

 

And alot of people feel the same way.

 

it is what it is. They drop frames AND screen tearing. Digital Foundry is 100% correct on that.

Nah.. you're wrong on that.  They often talk about screen tearing and how little it affects the game if it's at the outer edges of the screen.

 

So it drops less frames... and has let's say 1 unnoticeable tear every 5 min.  That's FAR less of an issue than the FPS cutting in half when you shoot in x-ray mode.. which you might know.. is a big part of the game.

 

And I'm not sure... does this happen in every version when you shoot their feet?

 

 

lmao

Talking about something else?

 

Nope, they've pointed out screen tearing as one of the worst things to happen in graphics, and I agree with them.

 

Drops frames, and screen tears. 

 

They said,

its true.

It is what it is.

They don't consider a single screen tear in 5min of gameplay as one of the worst things to happen in graphics.  So yea.. gonna have to deny you that win.

You're not denying me anything......because all I'm saying is that it

 

1.) Drops frames

2.) Screen tears

 

And Digital Foundry concludes that the non-screen tearing version is more preferrable to them.

 

Don't like it...take it up with DF.

You've been DENIED

 

Tom concluded that the 30fps Switch version was more consistent and preferable to the fluctuating 60fps mode of the XO... which had already been addressed in a patch.  He omitted that information.

 

Nowhere does he say the Switch version is preferable to the XO version when locked at 30fps.  

 

He was wrong.. and so are you.  It is what is always was.
