Why do i prefer playing on the Switch 2?
I initially bought SW Outlaws for the switch 2 because digital foundry got me curious to see how the devs had pulled off getting RT working with little compromise. And wow i was blown away by the soft red glow in mirogama!
But i was curious to see if i'd prefer the PS5 pro's quality mode at 40 or 60 fps, and though i was scared i'd ruin the Switch experience, I upgraded PS plus premium just to download the game on PS5, and boy it does look gorgeous, and hair, LOD, texture quality, foliage etc is just objectively much better.
I have all the expensive toys - a PS5 pro and and LG oled C1 55 inch TV, and an ipad pro m4 with the lovely tandem oled which i use with a Razer kishi controller like how the picture shows. And my ps5 is wired to LAN, my router is a bomb eero max 7 so when i stream using the PXplay app i get HDR, 1080 upscaled to 4k at 60fps. Its a thing of beauty to hold a 4k HDR Star Wars Outlaws in your hand on that lovely oled of the iPad.
YET YET YET i find myself preferring to play only on the switch 2 handheld at a 'meagre' 30fps and i just cannot figure it out! I first thought it was the size of the ipad+razer combo but that isn't it for me, i play yotei and indeed most of my ps5 games in bed and i have a blast! But any time i play on the PS either on the ipad/tv i just dont have as much fun. Wtf is this intangible thing about the switch?
I got the switch 2 intending to play 2-player games with my wife and our old switch 1 -> mario kart 8, little nightmares 2 etc, and that is hella fun, but why oh why do i prefer the switch 2 for a heavy AAA game like SW Outlaws?
