Watching this video now that Fortnite on switch is horrible makes me sad. I played it since it came out on switch and it's really sad to see the performance drop
ReplyDeleteCállate que no te entiendo ni vergas :v
ReplyDeleteI think all this mobile settings Epic set are just limitors for marketing purpuoses. I saw a guy with modified S6 Edge running Fortnite Mobile on the "High" setting. He modified the firmware putting the Usa S8 one. He was playing at solid 20-25 fps on high with a 4 years old Android Phone. So why an Exynos 7420 can handle Fortnite this way and Exynos 9810 and 8895 can't? I know that Snapdragon users are Lucky, but I'm just saying.
ReplyDeletethe switch compares graphically to top end phones... pretty impresssive
ReplyDeletefortnite on android has improved greatly now back when it launched my s8 wasnt playable but now it actually manages to stay at 30fps most of the time
ReplyDeleteThats not mobile that is handeld mode
ReplyDeletewhat's the name of music playing in background?
ReplyDelete07:44 my question is also the same why the android has so much jaggu edges s9+ is not the only android phone to be considered, there are more powerful android phones
ReplyDeleteS9 looks better than my Galaxy S10e.....
ReplyDelete8:59 thats the xbox one x, not the switch
ReplyDeleteHow the hell did you get that wrong?
qualcomm snapdragon 845's GPU actually faster than iPhone x's GPU
ReplyDeleteSwitch seems to be a turd.
ReplyDeleteSwitch is a portable console
ReplyDeleteThe fortnite graphics makes pubg mobile ugly
ReplyDeleteMy s8 gets unplayable performance and it's impossible to exit game because system UI is basically frozen it's usually quicker to force a reboot than to wait for system UI to load the navbar register pressing app switcher button opening the app switcher and finally registering the swipe to close fortnite
ReplyDeleteWhat about controls iOS has motion controls
ReplyDeletebut you are going to launch the sansung galaxy j4 phone
ReplyDeleteJust imagine if Apple let Nintendo put the A12X in a next GEN switchðŸ˜
ReplyDeleteSwitch is not the weakest it is second strongest after Xbox one x and its not a mobile as in phone its just portable
ReplyDeleteTrump's body language lol
ReplyDeleteOof the switch got a graphics update. It doesn’t run any better but it looks a lot better.
ReplyDeleteSwitch wipes the floor with Android and IOS
ReplyDeletethe f*ck i have the same keyboard mouse and black xbox controller
ReplyDeleteU deserve 1 sub
ReplyDelete9:10 “the switch is actually the weakest mobile device here” wtf??!! No??? Was that a mistake on his part?
ReplyDeleteSo switch in docked mode is like a regular launch ps4
ReplyDeleteFinally, someone who didn't forget the Nintendo Switch existed
ReplyDeleteFortnite on Switch is the best Fortnite mobile experience: smoothest, with graphics assets closest to console versions and last but not least with physical buttons which makes the play session so much better.
ReplyDeleteI don’t enjoy playing fortnight much but it’s interesting to see what the different formats can do.
ReplyDeleteI played it on my Switch the other day and dear god. Its looks like PUBG on Xbox.
ReplyDeleteOk.
ReplyDeleteThis match is not fair.
Android is still in beta whilst Apple is not.
Uhhhh... The S9 Plus GPU is so much better than the iPhone X it's not even funny.
ReplyDeleteYou're thinking of the CPU.
Battery usage is also another reason limiting the smartphone versions. If you run the iPhoneX CPU and GPU at steady 100% it will drain a full battery in under 90 minutes. Epic actually optimized the game to be able to hit 60fps, but capped the framerate at 30fps to reduce the hit on the battery.
ReplyDeleteThe Switch was designed to last 3 hours under full load, so it can afford to run the full UE4 deferred renderer with screen space occlusion, dynamic point lights and temporal antialiasing while the smartphone versions are limited to the UE4 mobile forward renderer.
Honestly, unless you already have one of these phones, I would get a Nintendo switch for portable Fortnite. There is no argumnent. Physical buttons are better than touch controls. I also think in my oppinion that the switch looks the best in some aspects (compared to mobile obviously). There's also a $700 price gap. You can also play it on your tv if you wanted.
ReplyDeleteToo bad s9 plus fortnite caps the frame per second at 30
ReplyDeleteYou need to do more research, you could change graphics a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteI hate how Android or Apple fans are just getting triggered over this. I mean, this is fair enough. What’s the point of getting angry?
ReplyDeletethis is ma first time seeing an old man playin fortnite… my grandpa doesn't even know what it is...
ReplyDeleteI have galaxy s7 edge
ReplyDeleteR.I.P
I don't play this game, but thought it was an interesting comparison. One thing that keeps sticking out to me is the simplified geometry in the mobile versions. For instance, the dock was two pieces, whereas on xbox & switch it was individual planks. It makes me wonder if the mobile versions used custom assets but the Switch was based more strongly on the originals.
ReplyDeleteI just want the Switch port to have the option to turn of Anti-Aliasing and Motion Blur. That stuff looks so nasty regardless if you are in handheld or TV mode with a 1080p display or not. It just as a whole makes the game look far more low res than it actually is and is a waste of graphics power. Splatoon 2 runs at around the same resolution and looks a lot more clean compared to Fortnite sadly. 💔
ReplyDeleteLol the switch has more power then the iphone or Samsung in terms of GPU power.
ReplyDeletePlease tone the body language down. You don't need gestures for every syllable. I have a very hard time watching your videos because of the CAPS LOCK YELLING equivalent body language.
ReplyDeletewhy is my chemistry teacher telling me about video games.
ReplyDeletei am 29 fyi.
Digital foundry you forgot the batery life, the main problem of iphone x and android
