[@dannylewis1539]

dips here and there? so it actually doesn't provide a stable 30 fps then . . .

[@BrokenAce1295]

@@dannylewis1539 Not exactly. I'll at least rephrase what I said to mostly steady 30 FPS, since it still provides a stable 30 FPS during general conditions. It dips when there are more things going on across the screen, which is an infrequent occurrence. So it isn't a case of one extreme where the Switch version's not providing a stable 30 FPS nor another where it's always providing a stable 30 FPS.

[@kinghyperheart1571]

Personally, while the frames aren't as strong, and the clarity is slight muddy in comparison to the PS5, I think the PS4 is considerably better than switch, as 1080p on PS4 vs. 720p on Switch is considerable difference. And while time of day maybe a factor, not exactly the same time in the footage, I think the PS4 does a bit better at giving the world some much needed, slightly brighter colors in the game, the Switch and PS5 have slight drop in color brightness. Now I'm kind of glad I got the PS4 version, for 1. I don't have a 5, 2. I do have switch, but I do want to experience better graphical fidelity, and so far, it seems that Sonic Frontiers on PS4 (and possibly XBox1) is the best middle of the road option out of all of them graphically and performance wise.

On Handheld Mode Sonic Frontiers is impressive, idk how they made it but the game looks and runs like the PS4 version despite being in a console with half of its power :0

[@corruptedteka]

"looks and runs like the PS4 version" ?? What. I mean I'd like to think I'm usually pretty positive about graphics and performance, and I love Frontiers so much. But have we been playing the same handheld Switch or do you have a better one, because that's NOT true for me. I can barely see what's around in the open field most of the time ! And the render distance and foliage make me a little sad. I will say the cyberspace levels are still extremely impressive graphically though. I would like to think I'm alright with the Switch being my only option, but I really want games I care about to look how they're supposed to, and this is not it. It's definitely playable and enjoyable, and as you say it's very impressive it can run fine on handheld Switch, but even still ! I want it to be better.

@@corruptedteka Ive only played few Cyberspace levels on Switch since I dont own the game yet, but my friend does! Maybe if I was able to spend more time with the Open World I could notice some trouble running it, but I just commented based on the little Ive played 😅

[@corruptedteka]

@@ilan_profile Yeah the Cyber Space levels still look awesome ! But the open field definitely shows the setbacks.

tinha ate esquecido que esse jogo do sonic criado por fã brincando na engine tinha sido lançado

The switch version is the main one I've played, and it's still a fun time, but especially in handheld mode (the way I mostly played the game), the frame tends to dip into the mid-to-late 20s more often. However, I'm shocked how bad the load times are on PS4, at almost 27 seconds, compared to the 20 seconds on switch (still bad, but better than almost 30 seconds). Also, 0:49 the 60 fps mode runs at dynamic 1800p, meaning the resolution targets 1800, but will drop when needed to keep the framerate consistent.

I find it crazy how the switch version looks so much more cut down from the ps4. It‘s sorta like comparing the versions of SD Unleashed, except that the switch is… 4 years newer.

[@HeavyMetalSonicRM]

Sonic should be THE game for 120hz.

[@hsmreu]

Yeah my god cant believe this from sega man. The game would be amazing in 120fps. I think optimization could be better although graphics are good

[@hwanniggles187]

@@hsmreu maybe in an update. Even Sony's games took a while to get that 120hz support

[@RAKUNTU]

If the switch can play it then the PS3 can play it without any problem

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

I thought PS5 was 4k 60fps. The game having performance and graphics mode make sense. I was wondering how they did manage to get both 4k and 60fps in a game so big

Nice you won something and you need to contact a stranger. What surprise, i hope for you its some candy!

It does if you have the official PS5 HD camera

It's 1800p 60fps also uses AMD FSR upscaling

Is it just me, or does the ps5 version look washed out for some reason?

[@renzocarbonell1349]

Hey you should make benchmarks with the steam deck as well

[@sbockya-bp4gp]

PS5 Version Work on 2K 60FPsS with up scale to 4K 4K 30fps

[@Arnell_Mediocrity_Long]

3:59 Cutscenes... Sonic's blue color on the Switch and PS4 is much more vibrant 🔵 whereas the PS5 version, Sonic almost looks purple 🟣.

[@saloz9483]

I know ps5 has the option to pick what fps and after experiencing both idk how anyone can choose 30 fps.

[@jimmybob5541]

The main difference is the frame rate since they’re both 1080p when the ps5 is at performance mode. But yeah, 4k is a lot harder to tell a major difference with 1080p than say 1080p to 720p

[@grimreaper5864]

Who cares

[@CosmicVoid420]

How can the PS4 not play this game at 1080p 60fps? PS4 is garbage. 😂😂🤣🤣 But not as trash as the developers.

[@alumlovescake]

I can not believe Sega were so proud of making the others versions look worse. Like I would understand if they said the Switch version looks close to the other versions, but the way they said it made it sound like they sabotaged the game on other platforms to make the Switch version look better then it is

[@peckneck2439]

So basically the usual PC > PS5 > PS4 > Switch which is funny to me because Sonic Team supposedly prioritized the switch version of the game adn yet it turned out the worse anyway lmao
