With all of these specifications in mind, I have to say that there's nothing from last week's Nintendo Direct or the hands-on demos in the Paris and New York events that look at all surprising. Everything seems to slot in perfectly with expectations, barring a conspicuous lack of DLSS-supported games. Way back when, Activision's
Bobby Kotick described the machine as offering PS4 class power and by and large, that's in the ballpark of what the third-party demos revealed.
Elden Ring runs at 1080p at 30fps or thereabouts on PS4, and that's what we saw with Switch 2 in last week's Direct. Despite some briefing from Sega that Yakuza Zero runs at 4K60*, all the gameplay assets we've seen look like the same 1080p60 as PS4. It's the same with
Final Fantasy 7 Remake: true, Switch 2 gets the Intergrade version but again, it's running at 1080p and wobbly frame-pacing apart, runs at 30fps.
