Sonic x Shadow Generations tech analysis, including frame rate and resolution

A new Digital Foundry video goes under the hood of Sonic x Shadow Generations, covering the game’s technical side – specifically frame rate and resolution.

All versions are examined here, including Switch. Unfortunately, technical issues are affecting both campaigns at present – Sonic Generations and Shadow Generations. They are actually suffering from different problems at the moment.

Here’s the roundup of notable tidbits shared:

– Sonic Generations has a resolution of 1080p when docked on Switch
– Runs around 31.5 FPS
– Constant stutter happening where the frame time spikes
– This means the frame rate does not divide evenly into the refresh rate
– The Xbox 360 version is more stable as a result
– Snippet of code causing the frame rate lock and high CPU usage
– Shadow Generations doesn’t have the 31.5 FPS issue that Generations does
– However, there is instead severe unstable frame pacing
– This results in an experience noticeably less stable than the other versions
– Loading times also longer on Switch
