Ace Combat 7 Switch technical analysis, including frame rate and resolution

Digital Foundry just put up a new piece covering the technical side of Ace Combat 7’s new Switch port, including frame rate and resolution. While some concessions were made, it seems that this is one of the better ports on the console.

Here’s the full roundup of tidbits:

– Change in foliage and grass on Switch with pop in

– However, some may feel that the Switch version actually looks better in this respect
– Lighting quality reduced
– Cockpit view flatter on Switch
– Direct lighting is similar
– Shadow maps seem to have roughly the same resolution in cutscenes and gameplay
– Shadow filtering has a slightly different appearance on Switch

– Clouds have more obvious artifacts than Xbox One, but not very noticeable
– Fireballs also look similar
