Ports like these are always so fascinating to me, to see all the cut-backs necessary to get a game like this to run on under-powered hardware. Always impressive when a developer manages to pull it off.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one! It really is fascinating to see what they had to do to make it run smoothly. Sonic Frontiers is another great one to compare

The fact that they were able to port Hogwart's Legacy onto a Switch is amazing! The graphics are CLEARLY not the same, but I cannot complain. It really looks great!
They should have made this port a version of its own for the switch. I mean they should have remade this game back from square one to repolish the assets they use so they can well optimize and integrate the system on weaker hardware.
@@brianlaudrupchannelit literally is the same game just downgraded graphics. I remember when I was younger they would make different versions of the same game for GBA, DS, and Consoles. My family could never afford the consoles so I would always be disappointed how my DS version was not as cool as the PS3 version. I can imagine it's cool for younger generations now to be able to play the same game you can on PS5 just with scaled back visuals instead of them making a side scroller hogwarts legacy.
Wow it’s crazy seeing them next to each other. It looks like they really took their time and manually gutted the game rather than just scaling it down into oblivion.
@@RoseInnnthere was a lot more they could have done so yeah you're definitely right. There are definitely some better looking games but this isn't bad looking.
RDR1 is amazing too, and it uses same G engine that RDR2, gta 5 etc, obiously not the gta 5 version up to date graphic, a previous one, I remember when people laughed when N said rdr2 cold have been into switch but never happened cuz lack of time or some crap, of course could have been ported, worst case ps3 version but it can handle a close to ps4 version. When looking the comparison of this game, ps5 lake water seems real and switch is 3 or 4 leagues down, trees too, but castle looking, cliffs, and lot of shit I don't feel ps5 is better just different looking since it is not real space they are what they call mipmaps, little textures and you can make it look as you want ( up to a point obviously ). Ps5 is better just cuz joy cons never got fixed, incredible, but there are usb controllers that make switch the device it should have been, stable and ver similar to steam deck. Fucking hybrid shit ^^... no matter, tinfoil and n3ds full of exclusives for 3 lives.
They really put a lot of passion to getting this software up and running. This is more than I expected. They made a lot of sacrifices but they got it to work as promised
@@danielcastaneda4975Yes, it's fine. If it were a PS3/360/Wii U game, (which is closer to what the Switch is) no one would be complaining. Remember, it's essentially a handheld port.
Far cry 3 in ps3 and xbox 360 looks millions times better than this . Let's not even talk about GTA V is on ps3 and a xboxx 360 and it looks amazing and you know how it looks and how it's like@@davetheimpaler204
You are such a dolt, as long as people like you continue to accept mediocrity, that's what the rest of us will get. It's 2023. Stop allowing Nintendo to give us graphics that were relevant 10-12 years ago.
Yeah it’s pretty impressive but you can really see the difference in graphics with the water seems to me the devs got lazy there I mean there are some switch games with some great looking water
Its always so interesting to see what needs to happen to make games run on lower hardware. From a graphics perspective, hogwarts will pass if its the first version youve played and know what to expect from a switch. But from making the game run, its really cool to see the difference, but all the while still being the same game.
True. In the past ports sometimes changed the whole game structure/scenario. This is a 1:1 recreation in a much weak hardware. We have come a long way.
What is a good job about this? Absolute puritan display, no optimization and no visual design. A game released a long time ago on inferior hardware, it was designed to look good on it as well. Harry Potter, released on ps3/xbox360, looks better than this. Better geometry, higher resolution, more detailed textures.
@robertkurta559 a good job is somehow seeing this massive game on a tiny little console with specs that were decent in 2015. Like... I don't think you realize how nutty it is to have a game that needs 12gb of ram minimum run on a console that has 4 and only 3 of them dedicated to gaming. That's super cool and I hope some developers speak about how they did it.
@lucascamelo3079 yeah, going back to the wii and ps2 versions of 0s3 and 360 games. We have come so far from porting down and making entirely new versions
What? The graphics are much better than the ps3 game Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood prince, just google prisioner of Azkaban game and see how dated that game is
I actually really like the Switch port. It reminds me of the games I used to play as a little kid. Back when videogames truly felt like videogames, and nobody worried about how realistic they could possibly get before wrecking the hardware.
This story that "nobody cared about realism" is pure imagination of yours, I remember very well at the time of the PS2 how much people were always talking about how realistic the graphics of game X were, or how detailed the graphics of game Y were and etc... people have always paid attention to graphics in all generations of consoles.
@@matheusreiss2 I grew up with Nintendo consoles and it was a completely different community. Nobody was looking for said things with the Wii, Nintendo DS, or 3DS. I use the term “nobody” very lightly though. I don’t mean that LITERALLY NOBODY AT ALL WHASTOEVER was looking for said aspects in their games.
@@VSN-wb2lynot true at all. art can be beautiful and high quality without always aiming for realism. if photorealism is every developer's goal then all games will end up looking the same.
@@seanmoss7887 low resolution is different than art style, you can see how good Zelda looks in PC than in switch. I don't care if the art style is weird or different but I do care about resolution, low res is different
Yea its got a cozy ps2 game feel too it. But like a really good looking ps2 game and in the best way possible. Definitely reminds me a bit of the old HP games
1:02 editing error. When transitioning to the ps5, it's actually showing the switch version and when it goes back to the switch version it shows the PS5 version
The biggest difference is in the details in the open world setting where there is a lot of vegetation and trees, other than that, I didn't think it was that bad, although the difference is clear, but we have to take into account the hardware of both, it is an incredible feat to run in this quality on the Switch
I’ve got a ps4 and a switch and I’ve been indecisive which version to get. Watching this I think I’ll get the switch version. I’ve always just loved handheld, and it looks like the game really is all there with sacrifices I’m well used to by now
Oooof for the lake water, but overall an impresive port. This guys actually managed to cram a next gen game into a 6 years old tablet. Props to them. I guess that it's still a better option to play the next gen version, but if you only have a Switch and want to try the game, the port is a good buy.
It's not impressive, any game can be ported to switch, the problem will always be that they have to lower the graphics a lot depending on the game and the graphic style it has It will make it look bad or medium good even in very low graphics and by the way the optimization, which they do but of course they have limits due to the hardware
90% the main important assets still seem to be there, it’s just some little things were removed or changed. Interiors almost look the exact same between versions though.
@@OrRainoBecause... that's a PS3 game. This is a PS5 game. Some assets are so baked into the game that to turn it into a Switch game you will have to completely redo it. To save time and money you are better off, tuning things down to super low and optimising what you can.
Honestly I think it looks horrible but tbf it's all the switch can pull off probably. So imo a Switch version should have never existed as it lacks all the atmosphere and is completely lifeless (rarely any NPCs) But yeah, for those who wanna play it on the go it's nice that it's there.
@@JacoBee93 size somewhat matter, i'm 200% certain Switch can run GTA V, but it's 120gb, literally a game targeted towards GT series Nvidia, 4+ GB of ram and literally a Core Duo, even phones has better specs than that.
@@raulbalarezos They're both still 8th gen consoles, and only one of them is portable. I know there are no 9th gen portable's, but given how current PC based portable systems are, I imagine a Switch 2 would run this better than a PS4.
I’m playing this game on my series x for the first time right now and it’s blowing me away. All the attention to detail that was put into it shows how much the developers love and respect the source material. As long as the gameplay remains fun Switch users are in for a treat. Graphics are second to gameplay in my opinion.
It's clear that Sony is doing a wonderful job and Nintendo needs to update their hardware but I'm impressed that they could port the game to Switch users.
Nintendo is always going to release gaming systems that lag far behind the others. Their business model is to make massive profit on the hardware. It's why the Switch is still the same price as what they've sold it since launch and why the games never get discounted. Their cult fan base settles for technological mediocrity because the games they play will never demand modern processing power.
@@seinfan9ok. & their is nothing wrong with that. If you want higher fidelity games play on a PC or ps5 or Xbox. The switch does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
@@tr1p1eaWhy are you crying because the Switch has PS3 level graphics? The Switch is aimed at a different audience and will never catch up to the Playstation 2 in sales.
The colors look so dull, it's almost depressing. Static lightning would've improved the visual quality so much, but instead they went the easy route and just turned off everything that eats performance. Just compare it to Witcher 3, it's like day and night.
@@Vyyc-m9g Sure, on PS5. But on the Switch, Witcher 3 looks way better imo. It's not even the graphical fidelity, but the brightness and colors alone. Hogwarts Legacy on Switch just looks... dull. As if they forgot to increase the base brightness to compensate for the missing dynamic lighting.
but when our back hurts playing it on tv we just switch it and play it in bed in whatever position we want and thats why i love switch gaming… but also im crying looking at the graphics I could have if I bought it on my xbox s x :’)
Switch/PS5 mark is messed few times, but thank for the comparison! In some cases Switch version look bad, but in some scenes it hold surprisingly well!
I downloaded it on my Switch Lite and I'm enjoying it so far. It really doesn't look too bad in handheld. It's passable. Actually remarkable that they were able to do this.
It looks horrible, and switch is about the only handheld that runs triple a games this way, get a steam deck instead, same price as the switch with way better performance
@@ETGamer-yl6dm Haha yeah - and much less remarkable triple AAA games too.. can you play Zelda on it? Nope. Mario? Nah. Metroid Prime? I don't think so.
@@Maubariwatch some vids about it so you won't be as clueless as right now. yes you can play zelda on the sd ,even modded ,yes you can see some videos of the last mario on the sd too. you can play switch games on it. do your research instead of posting stupidities
@@ETGamer-yl6dmstop being a jerk by telling what other people need to do. and what if she doesn't want to buy a sd because she prefers a nintendo switch, which has way better battery life than the sd ?(i own a sd) stop being toxic and let people enjoy the games they want on the plateform they want.
crazy some parts look better on the switch, i think its due to how they change the style to cover the limitations like they did in the old days, the dark lighting makes it feel like a dark fantasy game which actually fits the HP franchise well
As impressive as it is, this looks like a PC game from 2010 at times, especially in the first shot with the Farming Simulator 9 water. But it's good that those who want to play it but only have a Switch are also able to play it now.
@@JustSomeWolverinehalf life 2 has better water than that, and the elder scrolls oblivion has better forests and water. So yeah mid 2000s, I’m with ya.
You made a mistake at 14:42. Your video is really cool, I found it very entertaining and informative but at 14:42 you swapped the PS5 version with the Switch version. Or I finally have to get glasses. Am I stupid now or does anyone else see this?
The switch version reminds me of the OG Harry Potter games on PS2. I’m mighty impressed they were able to do something like this, but I think that the Switch version should only be played if a switch is your only option. 😬
My favorite console is the PlayStation 5 mostly because of the exclusive games but I believe if the Nintendo switch had the same hardware as the PS five Sony will definitely have their work cut out for them. can you imagine a Zelda game with the graphics of Final Fantasy seven that would definitely be 90% of the gamers dream.
That's outright impossible. Nintendo sells because it has cheap hardware. A PS5 level performance Handheld would be like $1000 usd Rog ally x is actually impressive ( and $799) and doesn't even come close to the ps5 yet
I’m not expecting much graphics wise, still could be better in some cases and it’s good that more people can play it. But you can’t be asking 60€ for this…
Switch doesn't looks bad, PS5 looks incredible. I mean look at that water/lighting! I've always been curious about how water (or lava) is often the best looking part of a videogame.
I have to admit that I was prepared to give it a go on Switch because it was on sale for under £20, but the graphics are so poor that two hours in I decided I'd made a mistake and forked out £65 for the PS5 version. I wasn't really expecting to like the game much, but after a couple of hours I was really enjoying it. We learn from our mistakes, and my latest one was thinking Hogwarts Legacy would be okay on the Switch. No offence to those who only have a Switch, at least you can play it, but I've come to expect more graphically. It's a wonder Nintendo got a playable port at all, really. Also, some games do look really nice on Switch, it's just the HL isn't one of them.
I only have the Nintendo Switch but I'm not complaining, I'm a big Potterhead and I really really really want to play it so I'm still excited even though there's difference with the quality. I don't have money to buy PS5 yet. But someday maybe.. I am currently playing it and I just had a break typing this comment after a 10-hour playthrough, I need to eat.. and while watching this. 🤣
-almost empty hallways -loading when going inside the castle -very long loading when going to hogsmeade -2d water texture -no grass -blurred texture. -2d trees -no screenspace reflection -no fog
Reminds me a bit of the HL2 Xbox port. The hardware is way below the specs to run the game, and it doesn't look pretty at all. But somehow it runs competently and retains the foundation of the visual presentation, against all odds. This might be one of the most impressive ports so far.
It's very impressive what they can do with the Switch being that it's a 7 year old handheld system. Hope Nintendo doesn't mess up a good thing with the Switch 2 (Super Nintendo Switch) next year...
La primer comparativa con el agua te puede dar una muy mala impresión de este port xd, pero por las demas la verdad es un trabajo muy decente, considerando que la switch no tiene ni 1/10 del poder de una PS5 creo que han captado la escencia del juego bastante bien
@@apue9849 Hablando de potencia si, nintendo no es un representante de eso pero yo compro sus consolas por qué sus juegos son demasiado divertidos y buenos (no pago los 60 pavos compro cuentas secundarias)
Cool but I really wish you would have show other key locations, like the 4 common rooms, the map chamber, the room of requirement and its biomes, maybe even the house elf kitchen.
That’s why I have both a PS5 and Nintendo Switch. I pretty much only buy Nintendo games for my Switch, especially Mario games. If I want to play games with mind-blowing graphics, like RDR2, I get them on PS5. That’s just me tho 😂
Me parece admirable que el juego vaya bien y sea así de bien para lo que es switch, esperaba que se repitiera lo de MK1 y nos dieran gráficos sin expresiones sacadas de la ps1, en cambio tenemos un juego que parece de la gamecube pero obviamente se debe a que es la Switch
Yo no diría tanto que se vea de Gamecube, vale que Switch no sea un portento en graficazos y eso se debe a que usa componentes creados en 2014/2015, para lo que es, es un resultado sorprendente, se puede comparar por ejemplo con el port de The Witcher III para el mismo sistema y eso que este último es más grande que Hogwarts Legacy. Yo pensaba comprarme la versión de Switch dado que de momento es la única consola que tengo pero, me voy a esperar al posible lanzamiento de Switch 2 y con eso quizá lleguen los parches "next gen" para que dichos juegos se vean mejor, que ojo, que a mi me vale con que el juego sea estable y pueda al menos ir a 30fps sin tantas caídas. Como dije, el port es más que admirable y el trabajo que hay detrás, es muy meritorio, lo van a disfrutar muchos por el hecho de la portabilidad y algunos dirán que es mejor la steam deck, si ya, pero muchos no tienen la solvencia económica para permitirse una steam deck y aun si la tienen, es una consola que literalmente es una PC portátil y por tanto también tiene sus contras.
Para una persona que no lo haya jugado en PC o consolas de nueva generación seguramente disfrutara la experiencia, pero para alguien que ya lo ha jugado con gráficos a tope se nota el bajonazo en todos los niveles, gráficos más opacos y sin luces, ni hablar del agua que se ve como cortada, en fin, el hardware del switch a estas alturas simplemente ya debería ser actualizado.
Si el gameplay es fluido, es una conversión muy digna y demuestra una vez más que con un buen trabajo, la mayoría de juegos actuales pueden jugarse en Nintendo Switch.
Es que es muy subestimada, ve como está ahora mk1 con esos parches que le han ido metiendo es solo dedicarle una buena optimización antes de lanzar el juego 😏
@@somacruz508 El problema es que hacer esos ajustes para que puedan correr en algo tan anticuado en hardware como lo es switch requiere una cantidad de esfuerzo considerable para un juego que la mayoria de usuarios de switch ni comprarán
Como de ese juego específico, no he visto o jugado la versión PS5 y tampoco la del Switch, si alguien me hiciera la broma de mostrar esa comparación invirtiendo la colocación de los letreros de una consola y otra, No me daría cuenta si el de imágen de Switch le pusieran letrero de otra consola, no le encontraría modo de saber si los letreros estuvieran colocados en la versión correcta de consola o No, por ejemplo vi la parte que compara el vuelo del personaje y la izquierda muestra piedra en gris sin musgo verde y el de la derecha piedra también gris y ese sí con musgo verde, (minuto 2 con 8 segundos) Si No tuviera los letreros de consola correspondiente ya puestos No le distinguiría cual es la del PS5 y cuál No es
I mean, of COURSE the PS5 will look far better, but IF you only have a Switch, it seems like you'd at least get more or less a similar - albeit less visually stunning (the lower candle count at 9:53 really makes it obvious what had to be sacrificed to make this work on Switch) Hogwarts experience. If you never SAW the PS5 version next to it, I'm sure you'd be perfectly happy with it. As someone with a Switch and PS5, though, the choice is obvious. Still, it's impressive that they managed to make ANY serviceable version work on Switch, given the scale of it.
i think theres no other open world game in switch that look as good as this for an old portable hardware its well made, and i know we older gamers feel kinda nostalgic with the style i would love to try it out
Yeah but it kinda falls short compared to what others get for their money. So selling it for 50$ would be fine instead of 70$ like the PS5 version costs. Edit: and it wasn't made from scratch, it's mostly de-make to fit the power of the switch graphic wise.
@@CDumkeThis is mostly aimed for the people who only have a Switch as a mean of playing this game, so the price tag won't matter much. The same thing happened with the RDR1 port from Rockstar, they charged $50 and it sold wonders on the Switch.
I have a 5800x/ 7900 XTX Nitro PC and PS5 (as well as a Switch OLED I rarely play), and I have to admit I'm fascinated with some of these Switch ports. How does a game that's tough to run on PC get cut down to a form that actually runs on a Switch? It must be incredibly difficult.
The Switch Version kinda reminds me of the game we would wish for in the ps2 era or Nintendo DS era of Harry Potter Games. However, it lacks the charm of the HP characters and story.
omg they even needed to add something for the bridges at hogwarts so you cant land on them because hogwarts has to be loaded seperatly, i mean cool that they did that to make it playable but at the same time it changes even interiors and the outside then what you get on the next gen consoles. i hope that the switch 2 wont be a dissapointment and will support better graphics.
When the Switch 2 arrives and you'll will see that it is not as powerful as a PS5 everyone will start saying "And that's why we need the Switch 3" and so on.
The switch has produced far better ports even with its limitations, even Red Dead Redemption from ps3 looks waaaaayyyyyy better and graphically it is quite similiar to the Legacy port, but it has gorgeous sunsets and nice sharp clean visuals. Main issues I have are the lack of any kind of dynamic lighting which would have greatly improved the texture details, they could have increased the contrast also to hide alot of the messy looking textures too, and the draw distance being so foggy is a huge eyesore, looks like Silent Hill 1 on ps1 lol. Will I buy the switch port? Yes, because performance wise I will agree it looks like it's running well and I'd love to play the game on the go, but I think they could have done a better job and I hope some patches come out down the road like GTA trilogy and Witcher 3 that can improve the graphics. The switch is more than capable of handling way better graphics, just look at Doom! Easily outperforms this visually and gameplay speed. I'm definitely holding on to my ps4 copy of it lol
Most PS3 era games ported to Switch will look better than this. They get to keep sharp textures and consistently higher resolutions. The problem here is that poor image quality ruins what would otherwise be an artistically stunning game. So, older games get to preserve their visual identity or even enhance it.
It's also a completely different engine. The standard of the Unreal 4 engine is much higher. The port is very good. Especially when you see how terribly Mortal Kombat 1 was realised.
Going to follow up and say I picked up the game today and I am actually more impressed with it than what footage on UA-cam has shown. Reduce the brightness a bit to improve the contrast like I was suggesting and man, while it’s still a shadow of it’s next gen self and not the best port I’ve played to date, it’s still very very impressive and holds its own :)
They already did that test in an article. Needless to say, it wasn't good--much like this comparison. That's exactly why the switch 2 (if and when it comes) will not be getting GTA 6. But yes, they plan to port GTA 5 to the switch in the future...to most likely their successor. Just, it will look and perform weaker than a ps4 pro by comparison and it has been stated, cost near or same as when the original PS5 came out.
@@wertydeluxe1405 uhhh, no! the switch have more modern cpu and gpu architecture compared to the ps3, the portable is not powerful to today standards, but it's better than the ps3. you can try to google it and confirm this The metric of GFlops is higher in whatever they measured the Cell computing, but does that actually matter for the overall performance? The Switch is better at the things that make it run games well, which is mostly GPU power for any recent game. Even if the memory bandwidth is comparable, having 16 times more and the GPU power to put it all to work more effectively is a huge advantage for gaming. Ultimately the CELL wasn't a great pick for a gaming system, but it was incredible technology for 2006. It was hard to program for and just generally weird, but man I love it. I wish consumer hardware would get weird again.
No, more like PS3. There is still a decent amount of detail and the movements are fluid overall. A lot of characters in PS2 games had stiff and rigid movements.
@@Photo0021I grew up with a PS2, and in my experience most of the time someone says this they’re right on the money. But I agree with you here. I’d say this is closer to an early PS3 game visually.
The Switch version really shows how busy the visuals are on PS5. Developers have gone all-in on throwing as much detail and effects at you as possible without really considering the visual readability you have when you're actually playing the game. I wonder if the gaming industry will ever get over this obsession with attaining photorealism and realize simpler easy to read visuals are actually better for gameplay.
Agreed!! I actuality remembered an argument over the Crash N-Sane Trilogy port for the Nintendo Switch, "One looks like Cheetos Puffs, and the other looks like Crunchy Cheetos" Where I said, "Yup and the Crunchy ones are the best!!" It's not surprising how many people agreed with that.
Wrong. Simple sometimes get in the way when you can't make out what something is in order to react to it. If you're going to have details, it has to be clear enough for a gamer to read what it is, or else stick to simple boring graphics like you said, and have boring gameplay.

Its always so interesting to see what needs to happen to make games run on lower hardware. From a graphics perspective, hogwarts will pass if its the first version youve played and know what to expect from a switch. But from making the game run, its really cool to see the difference, but all the while still being the same game.
True. In the past ports sometimes changed the whole game structure/scenario. This is a 1:1 recreation in a much weak hardware. We have come a long way.
What is a good job about this? Absolute puritan display, no optimization and no visual design. A game released a long time ago on inferior hardware, it was designed to look good on it as well. Harry Potter, released on ps3/xbox360, looks better than this. Better geometry, higher resolution, more detailed textures.
@robertkurta559 a good job is somehow seeing this massive game on a tiny little console with specs that were decent in 2015. Like... I don't think you realize how nutty it is to have a game that needs 12gb of ram minimum run on a console that has 4 and only 3 of them dedicated to gaming. That's super cool and I hope some developers speak about how they did it.
@@CognizantZen saying there's no optimization is crazy.
@lucascamelo3079 yeah, going back to the wii and ps2 versions of 0s3 and 360 games. We have come so far from porting down and making entirely new versions
Honestly I expected it to be way blurrier than this. It does remind me of Prisoner of Azkaban on the PS2/Gamecube at times though 😅
Damn, that game was quite messy on GameCube for some reason, even though this console had more power than PS2. Guess it's all thanks to mini-DVD
What? The graphics are much better than the ps3 game Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood prince, just google prisioner of Azkaban game and see how dated that game is
I actually really like the Switch port. It reminds me of the games I used to play as a little kid. Back when videogames truly felt like videogames, and nobody worried about how realistic they could possibly get before wrecking the hardware.
This story that "nobody cared about realism" is pure imagination of yours, I remember very well at the time of the PS2 how much people were always talking about how realistic the graphics of game X were, or how detailed the graphics of game Y were and etc... people have always paid attention to graphics in all generations of consoles.
@@matheusreiss2 I grew up with Nintendo consoles and it was a completely different community. Nobody was looking for said things with the Wii, Nintendo DS, or 3DS. I use the term “nobody” very lightly though. I don’t mean that LITERALLY NOBODY AT ALL WHASTOEVER was looking for said aspects in their games.
With this mindset developers won't care anymore
@@VSN-wb2lynot true at all. art can be beautiful and high quality without always aiming for realism. if photorealism is every developer's goal then all games will end up looking the same.

The biggest difference is in the details in the open world setting where there is a lot of vegetation and trees, other than that, I didn't think it was that bad, although the difference is clear, but we have to take into account the hardware of both, it is an incredible feat to run in this quality on the Switch

It's not impressive, any game can be ported to switch, the problem will always be that they have to lower the graphics a lot depending on the game and the graphic style it has It will make it look bad or medium good even in very low graphics and by the way the optimization, which they do but of course they have limits due to the hardware
@@zadkielgd5137which is impressive
The game looks worse than Skyrim on switch
90% the main important assets still seem to be there, it’s just some little things were removed or changed. Interiors almost look the exact same between versions though.
@@OrRainoBecause... that's a PS3 game. This is a PS5 game. Some assets are so baked into the game that to turn it into a Switch game you will have to completely redo it. To save time and money you are better off, tuning things down to super low and optimising what you can.
Honestly, it's very good, for a game the size of Hogwarts legacy, I confess that I'm very surprised

It's clear that Sony is doing a wonderful job and Nintendo needs to update their hardware but I'm impressed that they could port the game to Switch users.
Nintendo is always going to release gaming systems that lag far behind the others. Their business model is to make massive profit on the hardware. It's why the Switch is still the same price as what they've sold it since launch and why the games never get discounted. Their cult fan base settles for technological mediocrity because the games they play will never demand modern processing power.

That's outright impossible.

I have to admit that I was prepared to give it a go on Switch because it was on sale for under £20, but the graphics are so poor that two hours in I decided I'd made a mistake and forked out £65 for the PS5 version. I wasn't really expecting to like the game much, but after a couple of hours I was really enjoying it. We learn from our mistakes, and my latest one was thinking Hogwarts Legacy would be okay on the Switch. No offence to those who only have a Switch, at least you can play it, but I've come to expect more graphically. It's a wonder Nintendo got a playable port at all, really. Also, some games do look really nice on Switch, it's just the HL isn't one of them.
The switch version looks like a PS2 game.
I would say it is one of the best pors I have seen on Nintendo switch
i think it's a good port, due the limitations of switch, in portable mode maybe this low graphics don't make such difference!!!
I only have the Nintendo Switch but I'm not complaining, I'm a big Potterhead and I really really really want to play it so I'm still excited even though there's difference with the quality. I don't have money to buy PS5 yet. But someday maybe.. I am currently playing it and I just had a break typing this comment after a 10-hour playthrough, I need to eat.. and while watching this. 🤣

Reminds me a bit of the HL2 Xbox port. The hardware is way below the specs to run the game, and it doesn't look pretty at all. But somehow it runs competently and retains the foundation of the visual presentation, against all odds. This might be one of the most impressive ports so far.
HL2 on the OG Xbox does not look that bad tho
Frame rate is still too low on switch (below 30)
It's very impressive what they can do with the Switch being that it's a 7 year old handheld system. Hope Nintendo doesn't mess up a good thing with the Switch 2 (Super Nintendo Switch) next year...

Me parece admirable que el juego vaya bien y sea así de bien para lo que es switch, esperaba que se repitiera lo de MK1 y nos dieran gráficos sin expresiones sacadas de la ps1, en cambio tenemos un juego que parece de la gamecube pero obviamente se debe a que es la Switch
Yo no diría tanto que se vea de Gamecube, vale que Switch no sea un portento en graficazos y eso se debe a que usa componentes creados en 2014/2015, para lo que es, es un resultado sorprendente, se puede comparar por ejemplo con el port de The Witcher III para el mismo sistema y eso que este último es más grande que Hogwarts Legacy. Yo pensaba comprarme la versión de Switch dado que de momento es la única consola que tengo pero, me voy a esperar al posible lanzamiento de Switch 2 y con eso quizá lleguen los parches "next gen" para que dichos juegos se vean mejor, que ojo, que a mi me vale con que el juego sea estable y pueda al menos ir a 30fps sin tantas caídas.
Como dije, el port es más que admirable y el trabajo que hay detrás, es muy meritorio, lo van a disfrutar muchos por el hecho de la portabilidad y algunos dirán que es mejor la steam deck, si ya, pero muchos no tienen la solvencia económica para permitirse una steam deck y aun si la tienen, es una consola que literalmente es una PC portátil y por tanto también tiene sus contras.
Para una persona que no lo haya jugado en PC o consolas de nueva generación seguramente disfrutara la experiencia, pero para alguien que ya lo ha jugado con gráficos a tope se nota el bajonazo en todos los niveles, gráficos más opacos y sin luces, ni hablar del agua que se ve como cortada, en fin, el hardware del switch a estas alturas simplemente ya debería ser actualizado.

Its okay, way better than mk1
Remember, the Switches hardware is only marginally better than the Xbox 360’s so in a way this is how Hogwarts Legacy would look like on the 360.
No way in hell is it only marginally better. 360 was released in 05. Switch is a good amount better despite being a mobile chip.
I mean, of COURSE the PS5 will look far better, but IF you only have a Switch, it seems like you'd at least get more or less a similar - albeit less visually stunning (the lower candle count at 9:53 really makes it obvious what had to be sacrificed to make this work on Switch) Hogwarts experience. If you never SAW the PS5 version next to it, I'm sure you'd be perfectly happy with it. As someone with a Switch and PS5, though, the choice is obvious. Still, it's impressive that they managed to make ANY serviceable version work on Switch, given the scale of it.
i think theres no other open world game in switch that look as good as this for an old portable hardware its well made, and i know we older gamers feel kinda nostalgic with the style i would love to try it out

I have a 5800x/ 7900 XTX Nitro PC and PS5 (as well as a Switch OLED I rarely play), and I have to admit I'm fascinated with some of these Switch ports. How does a game that's tough to run on PC get cut down to a form that actually runs on a Switch? It must be incredibly difficult.
The Switch Version kinda reminds me of the game we would wish for in the ps2 era or Nintendo DS era of Harry Potter Games.
However, it lacks the charm of the HP characters and story.

That’s actually a much more accurate observation compared to the previous comment.

Well at least it works, Shame they still charge full price for it.
do you know how much effort it took to get it to run this good switch? if anything they should charge more
Right! Like I get the hardwork and all, but they should've went down a little on the price to like maybe $40.
And that's why we need a Switch 2.
When the Switch 2 arrives and you'll will see that it is not as powerful as a PS5 everyone will start saying "And that's why we need the Switch 3" and so on.
Yeah in this switch version it looks like there’s a constant cloudiness over the castle and the water looks very bad
The switch has produced far better ports even with its limitations, even Red Dead Redemption from ps3 looks waaaaayyyyyy better and graphically it is quite similiar to the Legacy port, but it has gorgeous sunsets and nice sharp clean visuals. Main issues I have are the lack of any kind of dynamic lighting which would have greatly improved the texture details, they could have increased the contrast also to hide alot of the messy looking textures too, and the draw distance being so foggy is a huge eyesore, looks like Silent Hill 1 on ps1 lol. Will I buy the switch port? Yes, because performance wise I will agree it looks like it's running well and I'd love to play the game on the go, but I think they could have done a better job and I hope some patches come out down the road like GTA trilogy and Witcher 3 that can improve the graphics. The switch is more than capable of handling way better graphics, just look at Doom! Easily outperforms this visually and gameplay speed. I'm definitely holding on to my ps4 copy of it lol
Most PS3 era games ported to Switch will look better than this. They get to keep sharp textures and consistently higher resolutions. The problem here is that poor image quality ruins what would otherwise be an artistically stunning game. So, older games get to preserve their visual identity or even enhance it.
It's also a completely different engine. The standard of the Unreal 4 engine is much higher.
The port is very good. Especially when you see how terribly Mortal Kombat 1 was realised.
RDR is a PS3 game. Hogwarts is two generations past that.
Going to follow up and say I picked up the game today and I am actually more impressed with it than what footage on UA-cam has shown. Reduce the brightness a bit to improve the contrast like I was suggesting and man, while it’s still a shadow of it’s next gen self and not the best port I’ve played to date, it’s still very very impressive and holds its own :)
Wow I can’t believe how good it looks on switch. I’m shocked it can run that game
Well lets hope they port it to the switch 2
After watching this video I'm quite sure that Nintendo would port GTA 5 to Switch if they wanted to
ps3 runs gtav, and switch is like 2x more powerful, so yes, they can do it
@@JustSomeWolverineProbably because of GTA Online. It's huge, I wonder if the Switch and Nintendo's online can handle it.
They already did that test in an article. Needless to say, it wasn't good--much like this comparison. That's exactly why the switch 2 (if and when it comes) will not be getting GTA 6. But yes, they plan to port GTA 5 to the switch in the future...to most likely their successor. Just, it will look and perform weaker than a ps4 pro by comparison and it has been stated, cost near or same as when the original PS5 came out.
@@Ferreira2001 uhhh, switch is slightly less powerful than ps3
@@wertydeluxe1405 uhhh, no! the switch have more modern cpu and gpu architecture compared to the ps3, the portable is not powerful to today standards, but it's better than the ps3. you can try to google it and confirm this
The metric of GFlops is higher in whatever they measured the Cell computing, but does that actually matter for the overall performance? The Switch is better at the things that make it run games well, which is mostly GPU power for any recent game. Even if the memory bandwidth is comparable, having 16 times more and the GPU power to put it all to work more effectively is a huge advantage for gaming.
Ultimately the CELL wasn't a great pick for a gaming system, but it was incredible technology for 2006. It was hard to program for and just generally weird, but man I love it. I wish consumer hardware would get weird again.
The Switch version just looks like a really ambitious PS2 game
Loving how people who have probably never played a PS2 calls this PS2 graphics. The Switch graphics would’ve been wild to see back in the PS2 days.
For me it's more like a PS3 game
No, more like PS3. There is still a decent amount of detail and the movements are fluid overall. A lot of characters in PS2 games had stiff and rigid movements.
@@Photo0021I grew up with a PS2, and in my experience most of the time someone says this they’re right on the money.
But I agree with you here. I’d say this is closer to an early PS3 game visually.
@@CaptainEffort You children were not even born when Ps3 came out
1:12 oh the nintendo switch version looks pretty good there 🤣😅
Is there an actual physical version or would it just be a digital download?
Those graohics reminds me of the first Xbox, it's nostalgic and it has its charm to see new games with the old look.
If the visual downgrade were the only thing, it would have been fine. But there is a lot of loading screens that wasn't there before.
and what did you expect? the switch storage is not an SSD
I swear this generation is the most ungrateful lot ever. Just be thankful that they even managed to port such an immense game to Switch
@@hassanshareef6794 they are for sure… I could still play ps1 games no problem lol.
@@hassanshareef6794Yeah guys, be grateful that a company wants your money! Consume product, don’t have standards! This generation sucks.
@@CaptainEffort you can say the same thing about the steam deck
The Switch version really shows how busy the visuals are on PS5. Developers have gone all-in on throwing as much detail and effects at you as possible without really considering the visual readability you have when you're actually playing the game. I wonder if the gaming industry will ever get over this obsession with attaining photorealism and realize simpler easy to read visuals are actually better for gameplay.
Agreed!! I actuality remembered an argument over the Crash N-Sane Trilogy port for the Nintendo Switch, "One looks like Cheetos Puffs, and the other looks like Crunchy Cheetos" Where I said, "Yup and the Crunchy ones are the best!!" It's not surprising how many people agreed with that.
Wrong. Simple sometimes get in the way when you can't make out what something is in order to react to it. If you're going to have details, it has to be clear enough for a gamer to read what it is, or else stick to simple boring graphics like you said, and have boring gameplay.
