Oh I mean I get that but at the same time I don't fully trust game freak to make sure the one thing we want fixed, framerate, is if they're also doing other stuff
For once im going to give them the benefit of the doubt both publically in stake holder meetings and in the tera leak as well as smaller leaks all point to game freak feeling genuinely bad about sca Vios issues.
Correlate that with no game freak releases in 2024 and most of 2025. Well. Yeah.
Upscale to 4k makes the models look better but the lack of details and polygons in the open world are just going to be more noticeable. Hopefully they framerate can hit at least a stable 30fps or maybe even 60fps. I wonder how this affects shiny hunting if more than 16 pokemon can spawn at once?
(also if this was *just* a framerate patch I’d be excited, but no mention of actual framerate improvements amongst the improvements has got me worried. I’m sure a better framerate is “implied” but uhhh we have reason to be skeptical 😅😅😅)
I'm glad it'll run better probably but man a performance patch is not going to make that game look pretty or make its raid and co-op content functional or make its open world interesting
I will say I don’t think this update will completely fix the stability issues for the game but there are actual framerate improvements planned with this update per the post from Nintendo so you can take some happiness from that
I never finished this game because the performance felt too bad. I had just played the new Arceus by comparison and loved it. I hope there is a marked improvement from the original version.
I’ve been very critical of the performance of S/V and I don’t blame anyone for not being able to get into it because of how crappy it runs. That said, I enjoy the gameplay quite a bit. I think it’s a good Gen overall that could be a lot better, and I’m excited to see how it runs on Switch 2.

I just want the game *smooth* man 😭
Im sure they arent suddenly making all the textures native 4k and tanking the frames for it
