When the Nintendo Switch 2 was correctly revealed, a perhaps-unsurprising reveal was the truth that Elden Ring can be coming to the platform. The console is extra highly effective than the unique Switch in any case, although there was nonetheless the query of the way it would possibly run given simply how huge Elden Ring is. Effectively, because it at the moment stands, efficiency is perhaps fairly unhealthy, as a demo for the port of the sport at Gamescom is reportedly working at a low body price. Not solely that, however Bandai Namco employees working the demo apparently weren’t letting individuals document footage of the sport both.
Nintendo Life shared a video that includes video producer Felix Sanchez through which he detailed his expertise with Elden Ring on Switch 2. “It is actually unhealthy, and I perceive why they don’t need you to see this, as a result of wowie zowie, it’s horrible,” Sanchez defined, additionally claiming that no gameplay could possibly be recorded by means of direct seize and even over the shoulder.
“After all, you are by no means going to see the sunshine of this–maybe it would simply launch in that state, however I can’t think about they may do this. It was like taking part in Ocarina of Time. It was like 20 frames per second. Generally I used to be like, ‘This has dropped [to] 15 frames per second.'”
It is price noting that Sanchez performed the sport in handheld mode, and in the course of the tutorial part of the sport it ran nicely for essentially the most half, however it was when he arrived on the full open-world part the place efficiency nosedived.
