IGN has been fortunate to go hands on with the latest builds of Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata on the Nintendo Switch 2 and writer Logan Plant has come away fairly impressed by what he played on Nintendo’s latest video game system. Plant said that while he was playing the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Requiem he didn’t feel that he’d rather be playing the beefier Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 versions. He also said that Pragmata did have a few rough edges and fuzzier resolution than Requiem, but perhaps he noticed it more as the game is a lot brighter than Resident Evil: Requiem. Still he was impressed with both ports.
Resident Evil Requiem Nintendo Switch 2 impressions
“As you’d reasonably expect, the Switch 2 versions clearly don’t have the same fidelity as their counterparts on PC or the other consoles, but if you only have a Switch 2 or really value bringing your games on the go, the versions I saw were perfectly viable and didn’t make me wish I was playing on one of my beefier machines at home. Plus, I really enjoyed both games separate from my evaluation of their performance, and think they will each make excellent additions to Switch 2’s growing third-party lineup.”
“Honestly, I think Resident Evil is far more fitting as a big screen experience with the lights turned off, but if you want to play it in handheld, the Switch 2 delivered a solid experience in this demo. There’s a noticeable resolution difference switching from the 4K television to the 1080p Switch 2 screen, but it still looked great and maintained solid performance, too. In third-person, I really like how Grace stumbled and tripped over herself while initially running away from the monster.”
Pragmata Nintendo Switch 2 impressions:
“Pragmata on Switch 2 was similarly impressive, but I did notice a few more rough edges and fuzzier details compared to Requiem. My theory is that’s because Pragmata takes place in far brighter, bigger areas than Resident Evil’s claustrophobic hallways, exposing some more of its shortcomings. But with that said, it still ran very well and felt great to play, even in its more action-focused combat scenarios.”
“Running around the space station and solving light hacking puzzles was fun, too, and the heft of Hugh’s armor was sold by Switch 2’s HD rumble, as I could feel each footstep on the proper side of the controller. Just like Requiem, Pragmata was downgraded in handheld mode but still totally playable. Responsiveness is very important in Pragmata because of all its quick-time events, and the Switch 2 didn’t miss a beat in this dem”
This is good to know!
I remember them all praising MK11 on Switch then that was a mess
Mk11 was good, I own it. Mk 1 you mean? That was garbage
No 11 is bad the game looks and ran horribly look at the characters hair. 1 is worse not even playable
Yeah it was bad thats why I knew mk1 would be worse and sales were lower everyone remembers how bad the mk11 port was compare it online
Nobody takes IGN seriously for anything, they’re known to not be gamers and misrepresent the truth. All the big media outlets do, they’re paid to write what the editor says is trendy and will get clicks.
