Hmm. DF, i have a big question. When it runs in portable mode better, what happens, when you change the resolution of the switch to 720p? It's then close to portable mode? I mean, it can't go higher then 720p and should help the performance then, right?

JOHN VIDEO!!! YUUUUUUUUSSSSS

glad to hear Alex joined full time :)

Someone needs to build DF a tool that can estimate the resolution just by putting a video through it. It must be hard work having to pixel count so many versions of the game across multiple graphical profiles with dynamic resolution.

I love the DF guys because while they obviously love the awesome performance of high-end PCs, they are never insulting or condescending when talking about consoles. That is an irritating quality that so many 'PC Gaming Master Race' jerks have, and I'm happy that DF never goes down that road in their videos.

So ... Performance while docked is the way to go for me. Cool.

Finally, console and PC versions in the same video, as they should be.

I can glady answer that. I came back to it a caple days ago, after buying it at luanch. Had to leave it b/c of how bad it was. As for now, its definitely playable now on docked. Controls feel more tight and responsive. Looks better to, alot less pixelated. As for performance, its stable at least. Frame rate seems to be a steady 30 (docked), until lots of explosions happen, then it can get pretty bad. Theres alot of explosions in this game, so take that as you will. As for sound its just unacceptable. The sound half the time just cant sinc with the action. Its pretty sad, because its definitely playable now

I don’t get people who overhype the difference between 1080p and 4K or 30fps and higher FPS. I was disappointed when I first played a game at 1440p and then 4k because the difference really isn’t that mind blowing. Now playing in higher frame rates is better but again it’s not mind blowing. Same thing with hdr. So please stop the overhyping and to people who play at 1080p, you’re not missing out that much.

One of the last great open world games to date

This runs very well now on PS5. Performance mode doesn't seem to drop whatsoever. Quality mode still looks weird. I'm not sure why 30fps looks so jarring in this game.
