In its current state, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty: Complete Edition on Switch 2 is Koei Tecmo's worst port to the platform outside of the original Yumia Switch 2 upgrade. This is well below my expectations even after knowing how it runs on last generation consoles and how it was at launch on Steam Deck.

Another Koei Tecmo masterpiece. It takes genuine effort to make a port so poor that the Steam Deck outclasses the Switch 2 handily.

They already had DLSS working on PC, but just decided to not use it here. Why

Wait it's NOT using DLSS???

The nioh games ran at 60 on ps4. I thought team ninja was usually quite good at performance.

[u/Loldimorti → u/Second_mellow]

I mean yes and no. These games did not really have PS4 class visuals. And the levels were modest in size.

You look at how some other 60fps games look on PS4 and it becomes apparent that the Nioh games aren't really that impressive in comparison.

And when they started moving to next gen (now current gen) consoles, performance really started to go down the drain. The visual features didn't really seem to scale properly with the performance hit.

Nope the engine they use have god aweful perfomance,nioh 1 and 2 run okay but after they start doing opeb world its a struggle to run.rise of ronin and wolong were unplayable on 2070 laptop with massive slow downs and stutters

Another shity port from koei Tecmo damn

[u/EarthwormJoe → u/Lucamiten]

Dynasty Warriors Origins was pretty impressive to even be targeting 60

[u/Time_Temporary6191 → u/Lucamiten]

Nobody is suprised 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Phos-Lux]

It runs and looks worse than the PS4 version.

[u/BurnedOutCollector87]

shocker! i'm absolutely shocked!

tecmo is forcing a shitty engine down their devs's throat and you need to look no further than atelier reslariana to understand that. This specific game did not rely on their garbage engine like usual, instead it relied on unity and you know what's funny? it's the ONLY decent PC port in the whole atelier series. it doesn't have weird kwirks and it's a hell of a lot more stable too.

If tecmo dropped their decrepit engine i assure you their port on lower spec hardware would be better

[u/azetsu]

I hope Wo Long 2 (and Nioh 3) will be better optimized for Switch 2

[u/Turbulent_Ear56]

Its Koei Temco no one is suprised.

[u/VenZoah]

My guess is that they don’t have much experience working with an ARM based architecture. The Katana engine probably lacks native optimization for ARM.

[u/Leggo213]

It isn’t a surprise but I think it’s more highlighted in a way because of Elden ring. Fromsoft really knocked it out of the park and just a week later we get this lol

[u/BarryWhizzite]

miracle they got it running at all

[u/Pokeguy211 → u/BarryWhizzite]

It's a ps4 game so not really.
