This is a rather impressive port of a remaster of a genuine last-gen gem. A curious kind of hybrid of PS3 and PS4 remaster, Darksiders on Switch allows you to run at either high resolution or with a 60fps target - and all modes (whether played in docked or mobile configuration) deliver a vast improvement over the original release of the game. D dark10x strikes again.

Summary:
- Nintendo Switch have two options: High quality and High perfomance
- In high quality while docked the game runs at 1920x1080p, but cap the frame rate at 30
- In high perfomance while docked the game runs at uncap frame rate
- While dock, the game runs at 720p if high quality
- When you change those options in settings the HUD resolution increase or decrease
- Docked include a improved AA solution and a little sharp texture unlike the portable
- Comparison Nintendo Switch with PS4pro they are very close, beside the internal resolution
- Loading time are fast on Switch
- Like the other remaster versions, you can enable or disable post process effects like 'vignette' or 'chroma dx'
- Perfomance time
- Nintendo Switch runs at 60 fps while in high perfomance for the most of the time with just some dips here and there
- Drops can be at 60~50
- Nintendo Switch runs at 30 fps while in high quality for most of the time too. Just some little duplicade fps, but very uncommon
- In the high quality while portable the results are almost the same as the docked, some dips here and there.

I wonder if this DS will score higher than the other versions.

Anyway its a fair game. Get a little drag later, but its very solid.

Nice, i'll be picking this up sometime. Thank lawd you can turn off post processing.

I'm really curious if THQ nordic will do the same with Darksiders 2 , it was really a mess on the Wii U with tearing all over the place, framerate often under 30 fps and a low draw distance.
Seeing that I Think they can achieve the same result as this remastered on the Switch

WiiU ports were really terrrible, i still remember things like The Amazing Spider-Man, with crazy amount of tearing. I still dont know if it was lazy development, poor tools or the frankenstein architecture, a multi-core Wii with AMD GPU attached.

I just picked this up yesterday. I’m excited to get into it. I wish more ports had such a seemingly good result.

Darksiders 2 was just shit all around. I remember having a ton of glitches on the PS3 version when it came out.

Just to note - there is a rogue Switch label at 6:16. It was right before performance discussion and that’s where I made the label (which is a nested sequence with text + graphic). Since I didn’t name that label, I mistakenly left it over like 10 seconds of PS3 footage.

I read your first post on youtube as well.

I would probably have to go with Performance Mode on this baby

Switch title with Playstation button prompts, that would be fun.

Has any console game ever mixed, by mistake, button prompts between platforms?

Thanks for the analysis! I always look forward to these Switch performance breakdowns.

I feel like the 30FPS mode has some weird input lag. I keep walking off edges when I go to make jumps.

Maybe I'm tired or something, but did you notice anything like that with the cap on? D dark10x

I’m definitely getting this. Although I just got a switch, I need a lot of games.
