The new video of Metroid Prime 4 Beyond which ‘closed with a bang’ the Nintendo Direct in June has prompted many to wonder if the scenes shown by the Kyoto house were acquired on Nintendo Switch 2. The team at Digital Foundry.
Having a chat with the IGN.com editorial team, the journalists specialized in ‘techno-gaming’ analysis tried to clarify the community’s doubts by sharing interesting reflections of a graphic and performance nature regarding, in fact, the in-game and in-engine scenes of Metroid Prime 4 Beyond admired in the final segment of the crackling Nintendo Direct full of announcements and surprises.
Richard Leadbetter of Digital Foundry explains that “It’s true, it looks like a fantastic game based on what the latest video shows, but all the evidence indicates that it was footage captured by hardware similar to that of current Switch models. The internal rendering resolution of the scenes admired in the video it is 900p, the same as Metroid Prime Remastered. And while it is graphically good, the video shows some aliasing problems and occasional framerate drops. So yes, everything that was shown on the screen is consistent with the hardware of current Nintendo consoles. Metroid 4 Beyond appears to be ‘simply’ a Well made Switch game, as per tradition for Retro studies. In light of the community discussion, I can imagine the satisfaction and happiness of the developers in observing fans wondering about the current-gen or nextgen nature of the latest scenes shown”.
