looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
I'd have thought they'd have added the switch improvements to the original build so they'd have a master version for posterity, but they just went with what's quickest
be real weird if this is the version that survives in the future. I guess given both versions are on the PC a modder will inevitably splice them together to some degree.

DQXIS is based on a later version of UE4 than the original, so I guess that makes sense. A shame, but at least we'll get all the extra content of the Switch version.

the textures/geometry will be worse, it looks like. resolution should be higher. (edit: or maybe not? i'm not sure what res it's running on X1X).
Yep downgrades in the textures and a resolution no higher then the original PS4 per their FAQ.
Ahh this is true. They say it will be at least as good res and framerate wise. That doesn't guarantee it will be higher but it could be.
This is going to be another case of Persona 3 where there isn't one definitive edition of the game for people to enjoy.
SE are the fucking worst. Charging PS4 and Steam players again for an inferior version of the game. I genuinely don't know how they keep fucking this series up over here.
Unless it's a lot worse in other areas this seems like an insanely nominal change. The lighting seems... slightly different? Some slight shader changes? The main character has a lower poly count on his feet? I'm having a hard time seeing why anyone is really upset here.
I thought "It's a Switch port" was a joke. I figured they were just adding the S stuff to the original versions of said games and making people buy it again.
This is somehow worse.

LOL, the difference is definitely not minimal. It'll be a pass for me, that was one of the cheapest solutions they could've gone with.

Well this sure makes our conversation back in the main thread comical.
No this is about altered textures and other things. To improve it Modders would have to port the original textures back into the new version of the game and make sure they are used probably. They would also have to improve the foliage density and character models. So they could fix it but I bet it would be a lot of work.
