Emulations and mods can only do so much, but the game's engine and lack of optimization holds it back.

The POS Nintedog Hardware is holding these games back! And dumb Japanese Developers like all of them, who code their games with the physics tied to the Framerate. Something so utterly dumb. And they won't stop being this asinine dumb anytime soon. Look at Rockstar games like Red Dead Redemption or the GTA games. They also have big open worlds. Their games also came for 30FPS consoles. Yet their games can be Emulated like RDR1 on Xenia/RPCS3 and run above 60FPS without issues. For RDR doesn't exist a PC version. Probably was never intended. Yet for them it magically works out of the box. No Mods needed, just unlock the FPS and let it run perfectly. While even "modern" games like those from FromSoft Darkouls etc. Have a hard Framerate cap. On PC people needed a Fan Patch not to break game physics above 30FPS. Everything above 60 destroyed the game... And these games are Multiplat inlc. PC. So it makes even less sense to have a FPS cap to begin with! This is just full on incompetent JapDev. bull$hittery + Platform Exclusivity that shouldn't even exist anymore in 2023!!

Hopefully they can fix the LOD and occlusion issues.

[@EddiePReacts]

yea but with it being relatively new, even if it released great, it would still emulate poorly until emulation caught up. Love yuzu but man is it shakey.

@@andrew8168 not really. Might run a little better, but the main issue is the programming itself. From what I understand, even modding can only do so much

[@vedrisca]

I have a horrifying realization. If the leaves, tree bark, and rock textures have that much fidelity after a 2x upscale, that means that THOSE SAME ASSETS ARE BEING RENDERED AT MAXIMUM FIDELITY LOD EVEN WHEN THE RESOLUTION CANNOT DEPICT THEM PROPERLY. There should've been more LODs to fit appropriate distances, but considering that the pop in detail happens only once, that means that there are either 2 or 3 LODs that are put to their highest quality variants from a VERY far distance, which puts unnecessary strain on the processing units for a display that cannot depict the textures and models accurately anyway. This game is an optimization NIGHTMARE.

internal resolution bumps won't upgrade texture resolution(ie the door has a baked in low res texture). Wait till texture mod packs are made. Think like minecraft. You can change the resolution to 4k, but the game won't look too different until you get a 4k high res texture pack that compliments the internal resolution. Proper lods will help a lot with this game too, as some models are baked with decimated geometry it seems.

The game on switch uses dynamic resolution scaling. So when the framerate is slow, the games renders at a lower res to keep the frame times (which suck no matter what). What I mean is that, when you set the emulator to native resolution, it still looks better than switch, because your PC is powerful enough so the game doesn't need to lower the resolution to keep the framerate up.

[@trenton5714]

60fps looks way much more smoother than 30fps in my humble opinion, but that's a different story for the Nintendo Switch. When video games are running over 60fps which could overheat the Nintendo Switch and drain the battery life much faster as a result. In order to prevent this, various video game developers had to lock the framerate to 30fps. Some games on nintendo switch actually offers a performance mode feature that reduces the resolution of the game to run at 60fps.

Linklight: OMG, handheld players are getting robbed I can imagine that the fanbase felt that during the Sword and Shield era

Quick notes about the performances: Emulators scale A LOT on Cpu, in fact I remeber playing BOTW on the CEMU, upgrading my CPU was a much bigger improvement over upgrading my GPU, of course you don't want your GPU to bottleneck, but once you have something good, a 2070 is good too, if your concern is emulation you can use the spared money for a better CPU. Also, from my experience Ryzen are more stable and generally faster for emulation. You can still fly in emulators with a Ryzen 9 3900X. P.S. With Yuzu you have the ability to enable async shaders compile, that will dramatically increase smoothness at the cost of pop in. When you can play on Yuzu, use it instead of Ryujinx.

yeah I was gonna say that. homie's got a 3090 with an 8th gen intel processor...

[@quemuraa]

i play at 20-30 in ryunjix using a 650ti, better than buying a nintendo switch tbh

[@mail6560]

@@quemuraa yeah pc is for sure gonna be better even with low specs, it's just funny he has a $1200 - $1400 gpu and a $200 processor that bottlenecks close to 50%. i'm sure things run fine still but it's an interesting match..

Now I really want to see a mod where it implements RTX to the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet emulation. Also, it will take a lot to make a better Pokémon Scarlet and Violet version than just making it look nice. I'm sure there is a lot of tweaking of code that needs to be done, and I want to see professional programmers pick apart the code and see everything that went wrong. Also it would be nice if the community got some artist that could make some better texture maps for stuff like grass, rock, and buildings to name a few.

@@Volfur2251 they could use rtgi or something to add raytraycing if that's what they mean by rtx. But the rest of it sounds a bit delusional

[@shawnbanks222]

As much as i like the 60fps when I play at times, overall it is to fast for pokemon. If people could make mods for 48 fps I think it would be a good. The game seems to be built to run at 30-40 in my experience.

[@digadroit7778]

Picked up the game recently. It does run a little slow at times (Don’t even get me STARTED with the grass gym challenge) but other than that it’s been pretty fine. I think it’s just that GF was forced to pump out two games in the same time frame, both of which had an open scale which prior games couldn’t even compare to. When you add in how the game went from individual, separately loaded sections to massive, completely loaded areas, it makes sense that there would be slip ups here and there. It’s essentially a SW/SH wild area multiplied to the 10th power and then some. TL;DR: Game Freak devs are getting crunched, there are serval hardware limitations, and the scale of games keeps getting larger, yet the timeframe stays the same.

[@TheIndigoShine]

You are right. Nintendo Switch graphical capabilities are just too outdated. Sure Pokémon SV looks like shit and Tears of the Kingdom doesn't, but they are both running at 30fps, with slow load times and being unable to run at 4K or use anti-aliasing. Specially during docked mode but in reality, all games look pixelated on Switch, it's kinda hard for more realistic games like Hogwarts Legacy to run at 1080p because the console can't handle it. It seems like it's really the time for a Switch 2.

I have a top of the line PC, and I'd love to play there instead. But the loss of all online features just kills that for me.

If Nintendo isn't upgrading the hardware, they should totally start dropping titles in PC like Sony is. PS: Not to say it's Nintendo fault the game looks so awful an runs like shit, it's definitely GameFreak's fault, botw is on another level considering the hardware, but having an official option, maybe a while after release date could be a nice option.

[@christianr.5868]

I agree. People are already playing these games on pc cause the switch can legitimately be emulated on an android phone. If they’re not making a switch pro, port the games to pc

[@mjd3879]

emulating nintendo content on youtube? you are a bold man charlie brown! xD liked your video for courage.

[@radmune5]

To me it looks like even with better FPS many of the animations of the npcs (such as with the player running) dont really feel like there’s any good flow to them. Kind of like every character is being controlled by a really good puppeteer rather than people that have weight and live organically in their world. There’s some better animations with the pokemon themselves but everything still seems really linear or floaty to me that I hoped wouldnt be the case with smoother FPS

[@xolitaire]

60FPS are all well and good, but I'd really prefer a mod that makes the game run at a stable 30
