Red Dead Redemption - Nintendo Switch

Product Information

As some fans have complained, this new version isn't a remake or even a remaster. It's pretty much a straight port. And while that is disappointing -- it would be great to have the whole game remade in the RDR2 engine, for instance -- the original is from 2010 and still looks pretty good today.

Immediately then we're off to a good start with the Switch release. In fact, at 1080p we're in essence matching the base PS4 version's native resolution already. But native resolution isn't the only factor for image quality. After all, anti-aliasing type plays a big role in tidying up the shimmering, the noise, and other visual artefacts too. Sadly - but perhaps inevitably - the Switch game uses FXAA post-process anti-aliasing, whereas the PS4 version can tap into temporal super-sampling via AMD's FSR2. In truth, FXAA doesn't look quite as good as the 2x MSAA found in the Xbox 360 original, but the burden on the GPU will be much lower.

Retrieved November 4, 2021. Compare this to the effort in Quake II. Quite ironic but nonetheless, we have RDR, one of my all time favourites, on the go. There is something to be said about that. In the main Switch offers a vert solid, and very comparable return next to PS4, then - all of which brings us to performance. There are no surprises here. It's 30 frames per second on Switch and to be honest, bearing in mind it's running at 1080p with all these settings, it's more defensible to see 30fps here than on PS4. The Tegra X1 chipset at its core isn't in the same league spec-wise as Sony's home console, and yet we're still getting an impressive 1080p30 return.a b Robinson, Martin (February 4, 2009).
