After Capcom offered demos for Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 on Switch this week, Digital Foundry examined the two games in greater detail. The bottom line is that they seem to be a bit of a mixed bag if you’re considering the technical side of things.

– AA is a little blurrier than PS4/Xbox One
– Switch version is based on the PS4/Xbox One release
– Object motion blur has been disabled on Switch
– Shadows slightly lower on Switch
– Uncapped frame rate, leading to unstable performance
