DYING LIGHT SWITCH RELEASE PS4

When I encountered huge mobs of flesh-hungry creatures clawing at my eyeballs, the frame rate did noticeably drop, but never to the point where it was a detriment to my playing.

DYING LIGHT SWITCH RELEASE PS4

When it comes to the framerate, Dying Light on Switch targets 30fps, but it isn't locked like in the Xbox One and PS4 versions. Obviously, this isn't a deal-breaker, it's still Dying Light on the Switch, after all, but the grand sense of scale and the stunning detailed views seen in the original release have been compromised. When walking around objects would pop in from the distance and textures that appeared blurred and unrefined received more definition and clarity. Everything looks pretty good here up close (shadows and textures have been dialled back though), but a lot of detail in the distance has been lost. When it comes to the visuals on the Switch, the open sandbox of Harran pretty much looks like the outside world when I forget to put on my glasses. The first-person parkour is, of course, excellent here, and dashing around and throwing yourself up the sides of buildings is a thoroughly addictive and a sometimes much-needed way to escape those hunting you. The melee-focused combat always had me on the edge of my seat, as a makeshift weapon has the potential to be rendered useless after a matter of swings, and the stomach-churning splatter of taking a rusted pipe to a zombie's head isn't a sound that I'm to be forgetting soon. What I will say though is that the gameplay has held up really well all these years later and it still feels exhilarating. This enhanced version of the 2015 original includes all previously released DLC and a handful of console-exclusive features such as motion controls and touchscreen support.Īs we already reviewed the original Dying Light back in 2015, I won't be focusing too much here on its core mechanics. Cloud-based versions are now becoming more prevalent these days, but one of the latest titles to receive an unexpected fully-fledged port on the Switch is Dying Light: Platinum Edition. Doom Eternal and Skyrim are just two absolute miracles that looked and ran great on the hybrid system whilst pushing it to its absolute limits. Except in Germany, of course.The Nintendo Switch might be leagues behind its competitors when it comes to raw power, but we've still seen some excellent third-party ports released over the years. Techland is working on fixing the situation, fortunately until then, you can buy the physical version of the game normally in all countries. Why? Well, because the European eShop is officially registered in Germany, so the knock-on effect of that is that you can’t get the game digitally anywhere in Europe, and also Australia and New Zealand. As a Techland employee said on Reddit, the fact that Dying Light is banned in Germany has been messing with the availability of the digital version of the game. Now, that’s all well and fine, but the launch isn’t without its hiccups.
