BOTW2: Whos going to wait to play, until its fully playable on PC?

I'll probably end up watching my husband play it on our 4k TV, but I'll probably be cringing at the horribly aliased and blurry gameplay of a 720p / 900p game with zero anti-aliasing upscaled to 4k. Maybe I'll be able to convince him to plug his beefy PC into the TV to try emulating it for a second playthrough.
It's like day and night difference.
I had no idea about RT, that is amazing.
Hoping yuzu has it working at launch and we have resolution scaling by that point because cemu was easily the definite way to play Botw. Nintendo games look gorgeous at higher resolutions like 4K. Played like half my Wii library via dolphin vs on the system itself as well and can't wait until that day comes for switch.
At least the switch version of botw is 720p portable and not unbelievably blurry like the xenoblades or most open world games on the system.

People going "lmao definitive version" when the definitive version of BOTW is already the CEMU version. Eventually that will be the case for BOTW2 in Yuzu as well, albeit maybe not on launch day.
I'll be buying the game, enjoying it as much as I can on the Switch itself, but then eventually playing it on a PC.

i'll be playing it literally the first possible moment
lol, a little obnoxious to call emulated versions definitive, if you ask me
edit: also i don't have a second spare switch i can hack to dump the game for emulation, so even if i had a beefy PC that wouldn't be an option for me.

Too much of a hassle for me. I played a significant amount of BotW1 in handheld so a stationary platform isn't really an option for me. Curious to see the results on Yuzu though!
I'm just a bit confused by the couple people saying they don't care about Zelda/BotW, but they'll play the sequel on an emulator.
Why spend $60 on a game you don't care about?

I've got the Switch / PC combo myself, but this is precisely why people dislike and avoid PC gaming. "Definitive edition" hahaha come on, get off your high horse.
First, it's a sequel. I at least expect it to improve much of the stuff I find as flaws in the original.
Second, buying later/second hand copy is much cheaper.
User Banned (3 days): conflating emulation with piracy
You answered your own question, just not the way you expected it. They won't spend a dime
Uhhhh holy shit?! Been a while since I checked-in on the emulation scene. WOW.
Fortunately, I live in a country where it does.
I'll be getting Switch day 1 and playing there because I doubt that day 1 Yuzu performance will match the Switch with no glitches/stutter.
Also, holy damn at that Reshade plugin. At first I didn't think it looked much better as it changed the "feel" too much but when it just went to extended night time gameplay... damn, that was nice. I should maybe get around to setting Cemu up. I got the Wii U version and played BotW there and it was fine so shouldn't be hard to extract that and set up Cemu.
Do you still need to do the stuff with the shader compiling etc? It was what turned me off trying Cemu when I had my old build because it was "too much work" compared to other platform emulators of ripping the rom/iso and running it.
And yeah, the PC versions of games will almost always be the "definitive" versions even if done via emulation. They won't be the "official" versions (outside of actual PC ports) but almost always perform the best and look the best with community made mods and bug fixes and for emulated games will eventually run as well or better than the native platform (of course there are some exceptions).

This is kind of trollish imo... I am sure there is some niche of people that will want for an emulator to play an unreleased game we still have no info about, but it's so incredibly small and random. why is this topic made about botw2 over any single other game?
You guys know that yuzu mods that are made works in og switch right? you want great IQ with 60 fps, because 720p on 6.2 inches is the same as 4k on 20 inch.. or 8k on 40inch.
Probably because there's a very noticeable difference between the emulated version and the Switch/WiiU versions, and because there's a lot of mod support and graphics tweaks for BoTW in particular (plus it's just a very popular game).
I can show you my FB marketplace where they sell it for equivalent of $20-$40.
I think you need a homebrew-modded Switch, and copy the data over USB.
The first game release lead to this on the emulation side :
I think it's fair to say that botw it's a beast on it's own.
Cemu version of BOTW is really great, runs flawlessly at high resolution and framerates.
As for the sequel, that will have to run on Switch emulator, which is slowly becoming as good as Cemu.

Those RT videos are killing the pastel art style a bit. I think the grass doesn't work as well when it's all contrasty with self shadowing.
meant the first one lol, I assumed you were talking about bugs and perf issues in CEMU
if not, I totally misunderstood and yeah BOTW2 on Yuzu is going to be a buggy nightmare most likely in its first couple of iterations
I like the raytracing in the the night scenes, but I think the look of the day scenes is worse. They have an unnatural contrast and lose the watercolor look of the original.
Oof, that's gorgeous. Is it possible to transfer saves from Switch to CEMU? Kinda interested in replaying it after that vid.
