People need to remember that it will look better on the switch itself since the screen will be much smaller than on your monitor.
It looks bad though, yes, but I wouldn't expect more from a port of a modern game like this on switch, they usually really don't scale down well lol.
This screenshot here is so weird though, the low resolution and the FSR upscale going so strong almost make it look like a blurry concept art and not a game screenshot
This is going to look so fuzzy in motion, will be terrible.

The screen shots make it look like a fantastic effort and I hope it holds up in motion. I enjoyed the game on PC and if you get everything on the Switch you had in the other versions seems like a giant win for folks that only have a Switch.

As others have intimated, it's performance that is the worrying aspect.
Is it a locked 30fps?
Is that a consistent 30, or are we talking slide slow during action and combat?

I mean, I guess we have to give them credit for getting it to run at all on such underpowered hardware.
Makes you wonder if a mobile version could be possible in the future.

The irony here is amazing.

Because?
It's not as bad as it looks because even though you can notice some reduced textures from the pictures, it's not drastic. Looks solid and tame because it doesn't seems to have taken a heavy hit from reducing graphics to the point of everything becomes unrecognizable, like the examples I gave(Doom and specially Ark). I hope that clarifies.

Looks ok considering.
I want to see special effects and am curious of its resolution/performance.

Pretty much what I was thinking. Not that it looks good though, but I was thinking it’d be an absolute train wreck.

Might be ugly on a big TV, but on the handheld with a smaller screen it should be acceptable.

People here are fucking miserable.
It looks great for 7yo handheld hardware and will sell like gangbusters.

This is a product that makes sense. I'm both a 60fps and image quality elitist and someone who held off on Switch because of the performance issues. But this is a product that you need to take off your gamer hat for and realise this product isn't for us on enthusiast forums. Its intended market will love it.
Switch 2 is XX months away, how long are they supposed to sit on this when getting it out of the door is an option. The graphically stronger versions predate this, so it's not like you're stuck wishing for an alternative.

It was recently discovered that the Nintendo eShop has been updated with the first images of Hogwarts Legacy running on the Nintendo Switch.
You can see them below:
Another interesting detail is that on the eShop page it was also revealed that Hogwarts Legacy weighs only 6.8 GB, therefore, it takes up almost no space in the console's storage.
Is this docked or undocked?
Because if it's undocked, it looks pretty good. Decently clean image quality if you output it on a Switch screen i.e. don't stretch it out.
But if this is docked, then that looks pretty rough. Understandable though considering the Switch hardware, but still. Hope for Switch users that it performs well, at least.

It's a game designed for high graphical fidelity running on a low power mobile SoC from 2014.
It looks alright for that, but it's never going to be the intended experience. Just like The Witcher 3. Assassin's Creed: Black Flag is probably the 'high graphics' game that looks the best, but that only has small areas.
It'll play alright and be enjoyable, but it's not going to be the same.

Exactly how I feel. I would not expect it to come close to it's bigger brothers. It kind of does. Still doesn't look great. Not horrible considering the hardware.

Irony in your initial quote, not the point you are trying to get across. I suppose I could have used the word contradicting instead of ironic… “Honestly, it's not as bad as it looks. Looks solid imo. This one looks pretty tame.”
You say it looks bad. Then you say it looks solid. Then you say it looks pretty tame.
It is just confusing how you are using the word “looks”.

I think this version of the game is totally justified. It's still in the Circana Top 10. Might as well see if they can squeeze some juice from the Switch-only audience.

Wait, you're telling me this game doesn't look as good as the other platforms on a device 6 years into its life? I am completely flabbergasted here! "Unplayable!"
I wonder who will be more irked, the people in here shitting on the switch, or the Era crowd who pretend this game doesn't exist?

Any gameplay footage out there yet?
The title of this thread is misleading. Makes it seem it's a gameplay video, instead of just screenshots.

This will be just like the other WB Game (MK1), i.e. no (official) footage at all until release.
Edit: If we do get footage prior to launch it'll be from a leaked copy.

So much this. Nintendo's got some bangers lined up for the holidays, which is why all these whiners need a change of Depends.
