  • Team Sonic Racing is ready to release on Switch, PS4, Xbox One, & PC but how well does Nintendo's tiny console hold up with this multiplatform racer? We put it head to head with the PlayStation 4 version to see how it looks visually and if there's any difference in load times!

    This game itself is worth picking up just because Crush40 is back in a Sonic game.
    Edit: Ok, in no way am I saying the rest of the game doesn't matter and that you should blindly buy anything just because a band is in it, instead of purchasing something from Crush40 directly. The comment was meant to be humorous since Crush40 has been abscent from the main games for a time now. Also, in no way I'm saying the artists who performed in this game deserve no credit just because crush40 made the main song. Is good for the franchise to keep things fresh but never forget the little gimmicks that made modern Sonic fans enjoy the games. I hope this game sells well since it has very good gameplay, fresh mechanics and amazing soundtrack.

      MJ Ramos it’s totally noticeable. 60fps fills in the frames so the movement looks smoother. After 60fps though it’s really hard to tell I don’t get it why pc gamers like to play at 120fps.

    • @VexAcer
      @VexAcer 5 років тому +15

      @@trentoinsano The only reason you can't tell is because you can't see any more frames than your monitors refresh rate can display.
      So if you want to see 120fps you need a display with 120hz or more. My monitor is 144hz and the difference between 140fps and 60fps is huge, almost as big as 30 to 60. 60fps starts to feel choppy in comparison when you play at a framerate that high for long.

      Gotta give it to Switch devs. They definitely know how to get it optimized for the Switch while still delivering the same gameplay experience.

      @@sombrego2260 The thing with the 30 FPS is that it's fine and functional... until you watch the very same content at 60. Then the difference is jarring, and you pretty much have a hard time going back to 30.
      Honestly, on PC I'd rather turn down a lot of graphic options and needless details than sacrifice FPS or resolution. If I have to put everything on "Ultra-low" just to get 1080+60, then you can bet I will.

      I care about 60fps, maybe cause every other racing game on Switch ran at that until now. It was the one genre I expected to reliably deliver consistent performance on it. So, I will be sticking to PC. But, for Switch-only or people who can't play at home very often, the Switch version is still fine.

      Yeah, and besides fps isnt that big of a deal as long as it isnt like 4 fps (cough cough my pc running minecraft cough cough) For a game that is considered so flawed, they did tsr justice on switch, more developers need to be like sumo digital and actually put effort into optimising games on switch… People say the switch is weak, but a lot of games prove its not the console that's at fault, but the amount of optimising, take metroid dreas as an example, it runs at 60 fps on handheld and usually 720p (1080p on docked) runs well, no lag… Games like this and dread show that enough effort cna make them really good. Racing games on switch just often need lower fps because it needs to load so much, and the switch isnt a full console

Plus, you can take the Switch version anywhere you want, while on PS4/Xbox One, it’s stuck to just being on the TV. It’s all about preference, but for me, I like the Switch one better. Being able to play anywhere is what sealed the deal for me. Honestly, the teams behind Mortal Kombat 11 should take notes. You can still make a great-looking version for Switch and still have it play nicely as well.
