Mortal Kombat 1 - Switch Graphics Comparison
Ойындар
Care to see how the Nintendo Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1 stacks up against another modern console? Check out our side by side comparison here!
Mortal Kombat 1 is a soft reboot of the MK series timeline, but many favorites, including Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub Zero, and even Reptile all return for this new entry. MK1 also features a kameo system, a way to bring in classic characters as assists. The Series X, PS5, and PC versions look great, so how does the Switch version hold up?

@@jolynejamms6262 lmao you goofy. That puts down the massive amount of work put into developments over the last decade. Legit just go look at all the features in 5.3 of Unreal. Just to name one thing, Nanite is probably the largest development for me. Being able to have an entire game run without LOD's (Level of Detail), aka the textures & models for different distances, is incredible. An example is from Unreal Sensei video on Unreal 5.1. He had an active scene open with 100k trees in it. Mind you, this was in 5.1, almost a year ago. There's been some PHAT upgrades since then optimization, features, and QOL features. That's another thing, the barrier to entry is much smaller now more than ever to be able to create games that'd have been AAA+ lvl like a decade ago.

The gameplay doesn't look that bad, the problem comes with cutscenes, they should've done the same approach they did with the story cutscenes and have them all be prerecorded And before anyone comments, yes, not that bad means still bad, but less bad is better than more bad
