Assassin's Creed: Shadows on Switch 2 Analysis, a stunning port but which also makes logical sacrifices
Based on things directly seen and confirmed by journalists, our followers or those who have access to information
Assassin's Creed Shadows is moving to the Switch 2, trying to maintain its visual fidelity as much as possible.Ubisoft has done a good job.
The arrival of changes 2 had a desire to see how it can go to the technology.Games like cyberpunk 2077 or Legacaciacal lagacacaction worked as a "scale", but now it's time to test the Assassin's creed.
Naoe and Yasuke's Adventure is clearly one of Ubisoft's toughest games, with a good number of fans either thinking it strays too far from the Slayer formula, or... well, those hyperbolic arguments about Yasuke himself.
Of course, the vast majority of the public will agree that on a technical level it is one of the most beautiful open world games on the scene in recent times.On a computer with good specifications it shines the most, of course, but on the PS5 and Xbox series
So can the Switch 2, an obviously less powerful console, handle a game this technically capable?Answer: Yes, with adjustments, of course.Logically, although the end result is very impressive, sacrifices have to be made along the way.
Before we continue, we want to clarify that we are not going to cover the game dynamics or other details of the game, so we recommend that you read the original analysis of Assassin's Creed Shadows, since it is the same game.
Yokozo returned to Japan
Here we'll focus on the specifics of the Switch2 version. For one, is it really the same game as the other versions?
Every program, menus, missions ... everything is the same and in fact you can use Ubisoft to import the game you have in your account, items, items, items ...
Of course, there were no Spaniards at the time of this threat
Also, the Class of Awaji expansion won't be available until January, so you still won't be able to access some things like the bow staff.Everything else is.
As many of you will (logically) wonder, we specified that the game will arrive in game key card format, even if you buy it physically.Come on, you have to download it anyway (it weighs about 65 gigabytes, by the way).
Ubisoft's justification is that streaming data in that format is more efficient than reading from the card, so they guarantee less...
And, to be honest, the first aspects that we have to evaluate is that the loads are very small, a few seconds, compared to the religious games of the past.
The Switch 2's UFS 3.1 storage here isn't enough to envy the PS5's or Xbox Series X's SSDs.
What about the technical characteristics once in motion?In stationary and portable mode, the Shadow shoots at 30 frames per second.
Ubi itself does not specify the original resolution it received.and even lower than other versionsclearlyBut the results were very reliable even in docked mode and viewed on a 65-inch TV, which we tested.
The game uses DLSS to increase the final level of detail thanks to AI support.There is also support for HDR and VRR (although this advantage is somewhat "forced" to 30 frames per second).
All this for UBI himself to comment on and once we've tested the game, we made some conclusions.First of all, the level of detail achieved without size collapse is highly commendable.
When we move the same buildings, goods, running animals, and the same number of people to cities.
The same thing happens in places full of trees and vegetation, which is sometimes difficult to distinguish this game from other versions.
Perhaps the most effective performance is when we synchronize on some watchtowers.There, the camera pans with surprising smoothness (those shakes are often noticeable in panoramic views, in this case) and the landscape is filled with detail as far as the eye can see.
And where are the sacrifices?On the one hand, there is the frame rate that we have already mentioned, which is sometimes difficult to keep stable above 30 frames.
In more crowded areas, the numbers are falling significantly.Things didn't get playable, far from it, but sometimes liquidity "scratched" more than we expected.
Lighting is another "duster".Instead of zaying bi, the global light is used here, which, although it is more effective, makes the shadows lighter and less accurate.
Then we have some small elements, such as the low level in some characters, if we look carefully, other elements, such as the modeling of clothes.
From an objective point of view, the technical results of this version are very impressive and sometimes surprising.
Of course, playing in docked mode is more advisable.In portable mode, the image becomes a little more blurry, and in general, the experience is not pleasant.Here the "seam" is more noticeable.
Hobby Consolas’ thoughts on Assassin’s Creed: Shadows on Switch 2: daiyobu desu
Of course, the rest of the translated versions are the best and why the hell do they think they are playing when they like peace, so if you look at it from the other side ("I only 2
In addition to the technical indicators, there are 2 specific elements, such as the use of configuration screens, which control the mouse or graphics card.
By the way, although when we launch the game, the Animus Hub is launched, in which we can see access to other previous games such as Valhalla or Origins, in fact this utility is "dead" because these games are not available on Switch 2.
In return, the rest of the new features that came with the original game, such as New Game+, are available as a base, so many hours of gameplay await you here.
A port surprisingly faithful to the ambitious original game, showing that the Switch 2 dares to go all out... even if some elements have to be sacrificed along the way.
The sheer amount of challenges, challenges and fun it offers.On a visual level, it almost seems like magic that the Switch 2 displays so much detail.
Frame rate jump and lack of other features like increased Eaji frames.
