It's not even that it's on Switch, it's also really bad on PS4 pro lol
Very few though. I'd add Rocket League to that list, though even with that, the resolution was bad on launch.
You're absolutely right, but being able to play in handheld mode is a big plus for me, so of it's not too bad, I'll choose the Switch version.
Me too. Maybe they only reviewed the PC version? At least Destructoid says so. And some Playstation page I checked a few hours ago mentioned that they have not received a review copy for PS4 and that's why they don't have their review yet. Hmm.
The game logged me out of my psn account twice when i tried accessing the options on the main menu. When i finally got into the game. Ive never seen a game run at such a low resolution on ps4. Its definitely sub hd. And the screen tearing is awful too.
Keep us updated if they fix this. Keen to play but not if there are issues like this.
That's still a good trade-off to play the games on the go. The fact that were now getting the same game with other platforms instead of super gimped down version is the reason is worth the cutbacks.
This is the first game that really gives me Hotline Miami vibes, and HM is one of my GOATs. That being said, it seems that the performance on Switch are really rough, maybe I'll wait for the PS5 to play it...
Thank you for spreading awareness!
I hadn't heard of this game before, saw the reviews and thought it looked interesting. Really glad you posted this, however, as it saved me from making a bad decision in supporting this.
According to the PlayStation store it is PS4 Pro Enhanced so maybe something has gone wrong here? Has anyone tested it on the base PS4?
Not sure about specific frame rate, but it looked pretty good to me. There was some noticeable screen tear though, and I'm not particularly sensitive to that sort of thing.
I'm getting along with it much better with controller than keyboard and mouse. You need to keep track of 5 action buttons to be used in rapid succession - Jump, Boost, Slide, Grapple, Melee. Not to mention strafing all the time. I found it too much with the keyboard, but I've not really played much on PC for the past 15 years.

I think they sacrificed everything to get it to 60fps, or thereabouts. It feels smooth. But it feels low res, full of aliasing, and lots of tearing.
Fuucccks sake!
I honestly thought this was a Devolver published game ... 😞
Would love to be able to play this, but I (sadly) cannot support this.
I ended up going with the PC version because of the issues people are having with the PS4 version. That and the pre-order discount is still live on steam. Thanks for the information.
Melee & Grapple are left and right mouse clicks. And the jump, boost, slide are on the same binds than almost all FPS on earth.
So it feels pretty natural as long as you play regularly on PC.
I know. I played the demo on PC a lot when it came out a few months ago. I've been playing Doom Eternal a lot in the past couple of months too. I am out of practice though - the last time I played a lot of PC was probably around the launch of the original Deus Ex.
I'm just saying that splitting the action controls across two hands on a console pad feels more intuitive than trying to cover most of it with one hand on a mouse. It took me time to get decent at Ghostrunner on PC, but it felt natural, if ugly, on the PS4 Pro. I should have bought it for the XsX but my son wants to play it too, so we went PS instead - hope they fix it for PS5 or a patch for PS4 Pro.
OH MY GOD! I know there's sometimes hyperbole with tech stuff but this looks awful.
I just bought it, but I found out there was a Series X upgrade. So I probably won't play it until then.
Good bants.
Shame. Expecting it to be much worse on Switch, but fancy it anyway... unless it is a disaster.
There's no pre-load and the game doesn't unlock for another 15 minutes.
This game is fantastic, it's scratching that mirrors edge itch for me; playing at a locked 1440p/144fps is sweet as well
There's no perf penalty on DX12 for windowed anyway so it's fine, but raytracing seems to be broken. It turns itself off when you exit the menu everytime
Still doesn't show on DX12.

Strange. Is this the demo or full version? Been playing the demo on DX12 with RTX on with a 3080.
The game is blinding, and when you hit that rhythm, music and zen like focus/control.... you literally are dancing along the razer's edge.
I can literally feel new synaptic networks forming as I play!!!
