Thick Thighs Save Lives so the Switch version does use AA.

Using TXAA, while PS4 you can choise between TXAA, FSR 2.0 or no AA.

It's using FXAA on Switch, and on PS4 you can choose between FXAA and FSR2.2 (Listed in name as FSR2, but credits confirm it's 2.2).

Yep, just finished watching the video. The dude doing the technical performance review from SwitchUp must have been wrong I guess. Lesson learned there.

well I hope so. the switch isn’t a 3ds

Weird approach by Tom in this video.

"Switch beats 360! Another one!"
and
"Waaaah! Playstation got screwed!"

The quality of his analyses has dropped off a cliff in the past year.

How did you come to that conclusion? The fact that its better than the Xbox 360 version (previously the best version) is a good thing but what this also shows is that the PS4 version is literally just a port of the Switch version with slightly better shadows, AF and FSR2.2 AA. The Switch unlocked can run this game around 50-60fps so naturally the PS4 should be able to do that and the PS5 could've pissed it with ease but Rockstar didn't ask Double 11 to do that.

Isnt series x still better ? 4k sharpness and all ?

It just shows the poor porting job that the studio did. PS4Pro (and PS5) might be the definitive edition of the game, but it's still a very low bar.

The best place is xbox lol way cheaper/4k and you don't have to deal with joycons that are made for hands for 7 year old.

 

[YCoCg]

If 4k is what you want then PS4 Pro/PS5 is just a tiny tad better as that version is also 4k but uses FSR2.2 for AA and has the better shadows, the winning point for the Xbox version is that it should be much cheaper to get and still has multiplayer.

Come on, it’s Ninja Haru.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Man, we really need a PC port. Glad the Switch port turned out as it should considering Wii U should’ve beat Xbox 360 as well. But that can’t be my only option.

[YCoCg]

Man, we really need a PC port.

Until a PC port happens this at least gives PC Gamers a better option, running this on Yuzu (or other Switch emulators) provides better results than Xenia or RPCS3, and best of all you can brute force higher AF (one of the negative points of the Switch version) and unlock the framerate to get 60fps by just pressing Ctrl + U.

 

[zeldaring]

Come on, it’s Ninja Haru.

I get it, but seeing someone post the same close up gifs of a mans face all the time, in almost every thread, just seems like a obsession

I think it's actually him. We had Robin William's daughter here on gaf so anything is possible.

Isn't the online mode also missing from both the Switch and PS4 ports?

 

[zeldaring]

Yea that would explain it. He seems like the kind of person that would be a zelda fanboy.

 

[Sleepwalker]

I'm buying this on cartridge eventually.

The switch port IS the pc port. 4k60 should be achievable in switch emulator.

Chris Farley is amazing.

In terms of image and framerate the PS4 Pro/PS5 version is. It is 4k native plus FSR2.2 for better AA.

I'm just messing around. Sadly he passed away a while back. Could still be a relative though.

Just watch some clips of the ninja movie, it was funny. wow he went young. RIP

 

[Dcr1d3r]

Oh wow...come on guys, hands up, who honestly saw this coming?

 

[YCoCg]

Yes, there's no online mode for Switch or PS4 versions, where as the Xbox version still has that and the servers still seem to be active.

 

[Fake]

It's using FXAA on Switch, and on PS4 you can choose between FXAA and FSR2.2 (Listed in name as FSR2, but credits confirm it's 2.2).

There is an option to disable AA on PS4 too.

But glad to be 2.2

DF gushing over a competent Switch port? Everyone, everyone saw that coming.

MRW I see zeldaring making 5 comments about your GIF of choice:

 

[Dcr1d3r]

Lmao...all good for the switch tho I suppose...but cmon rockstar, these ports should be 60 fps standard on all next gen consoles!

 

[keefged4]

it's 4k 60 on yuzu with minimal tweaking now, making this the optimal option. It's the closest to a PC port we are going to get at this point.

Switch OLED best way to play RDR in 2023 I cant even not tell lies.

 

[adamsapple]

Well I guess kudos to them for not fucking it up. Good job.

 

[64bitmodels]

I mean cool. shouldn't be 50 damn dollars, though

 

[Ben87fr]

In a perfect world this game would be available as a remaster, 4k/60fps on all platforms and not for 50€, fuck rockstar

 

[SJRB]

Switch players when a game runs better on Switch than on a fucking Xbox 360.

 

[Kuranghi]

Agreed, only a complete moron would pay that at launch even though they have a huge backlog and frontlog:

[ShadyAcshuns]

All this talk of "which is better?" crap bothered me back in the day. I had the PS3 version and it ran and looked just fine. Now I'm hearing it again and it's bullshit. The best version is the one you prefer, you warriors.

 

[bender]

The best version is the one you prefer, you warriors.

But what version of The Warriors is the best?

A: PS2
B: XBOX
C: PSP

Please circle one.

Edit: You probably meant Switch?

There is a PSP version of The Warriors

[Timberwolf25]

My bad. I thought it was about RDR and not the Warriors game

 

[solidus12]

This reminds me of when Nintendo fanboys were proud and happy that Assassin's Creed 3 was "better" on Wii U than PS360.
