Luigi's Mansion 3: Switch Tech Breakdown - A Playable CG Movie on Switch? 

Wait?! They aren’t prerendered?!

@@MalarkeyMan nope. All in game

LOL you fanboys make me laugh.. this? looks pre-rendered? LOL..

Anonymous How dare we say a game looks nice! Laughable

The game is only 3 GB big, so there is no room for HQ pre-rendered video.

Astral Chain did a good job working off the switchs hardware.

they cant this game is similar in scale to a launch title 2001 system. it looks amazing but its scale frame rate and are almost 2 decades old. its higher detailed and resolution.. but its a slow paced side scrolling game that unfortunately cant hit 60 fps.. if the 5 year development of breath of the wild a siglle player only game who was at 900p and dipped to the mid 20s in fps in point enough

​@@simlife445 Holy shit, lol. What are you writing? Scale frame rate 2 decades old? 30 FPS games even exist on PS4 Pro. Sidescrolling game? Do you even know what a side scroller is? 2D Jump and run platformers like Super Mario U Deluxe are sidescrollers. How can you even compare Luigis Mansion 3 with a sidescroller? Yes, it's slowpaced because you can't make a styled game like this into a fast paced 60 FPS game. 30 FPS and a focus on the visuals are absolutely enough for a slower paced game like this. Breath of the Wild was a port from Wii U hardware. BOTW2 might run a lot better since it's developed with Switch hardware in mind. It will be 30 FPS again but maybe visuals, performance and resolution will be better. And why do you even complain so much about resolution and FPS dips? Even the PS4 had massive issues with exclusives games like Bloodborne. I still remember the release performance of it. 1-2 minutes loading times when you die and the FPS often tanked to sub 20 FPS. There are also games for PS4 and Xbox One that don't run natively at 1080p and often below it even though they are much much stronger than a tablet hardware as the Switch.

kn At the end of the day, Luigi’s Mansion 3 isn’t demanding at all and the Switch is still severely underpowered. Its not the fault of third party game developers that they can’t get their games to run as well as Nintendo’s exclusives which are cartoony non-demanding games.

I mean that is with any platform. Hence the reason why games like Horizon, Infamous Second Son, and God of War are the way they are on PS4.

Like red dead redemption on PC😉

@@thefullstackworld red dead updates are pushed out now and mods so yes

Not that there is much more to improve graphics wise on Luigis Mansion 3 besides the resolution and framerate.

You're a man of culture.

Every Nintendo fanboy excuse, You can have the best of both words

No this is eye candy too lpl

You see that rock? You can pick it up and throw it at things, or place it somewhere else, it even has collision physics! It can even be eroded!

Actually most Switch games hit 1080p... xD I have 27 Switch games and only 8 are sub 1080p docked... And these are ps4 ports or big openworld games.

Maybe it's using some kind of temporal upscale like mario odyssey.

@@jc_dogen Mario Odyssey docked is just using a dynamic 900p that drops down to 720p when needed.

@@HermesderWetterbote I have 18 games and only have 4 that are 1080p : Mario Kart 8, Pokemon Let's Go, Luigi's Mansion 3 and ARMS, all the other are either 900p or 720p. ;_;

@@ThibautMahringer Are you sure? I remember DF thinking it was a temporal upscale trick.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

that should be worth renting for sure

That would make sense... Nintendo doesn’t make sense though... they will probably port LM3 to 3DS lol

@@n2alps Nintendo makes most sense, just some of their decisions are shitty. And no, they would never port LM3 to 3DS. It wouldn't even work on it. Luigis Mansion 1 was ported to it and barely runs on it. The 3DS is done and they won't fully support it anymore. It's been 8 years since its release.

Please no more 30fps games. Ruins the game

they finally got the budget to buy microphones lol

Norbert Soltész you’re late. They been had the budget lol

not really

They still don't have the budget for proper microphones. At DF office everyone uses the headphones they got with their phones.

Bought this game at launch and I'm having a blast. Easily top 5 switch games

You don't need to end your sentence with imo. We know it's your opinion dude

@@PSUC3 Sorry. Force of habit.

Mr. GameCrazy Yeah man it’s not necessary imo.

Imo we shouldnt have to say imo imo

It's impressive, yet interactive. Beautiful light effects.

@Daniel. Would you say that it looks better than Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle?

yet next to game cube 2001 system its not much better in side by side comparisons

simlife445 Yeah, all of the Luigi’s mansions have been great looking games on their systems, but this games animation is just 👌

@@bigqdawg100 Much better

Even Witcher 3 on switch has reflections in the water. Why are reflections so damn pretty?

@@skilarbabcock a lot of switch games uses reflections but mostly they use cube map reflections not screen space reflections

Even Luigi's Mansion 1 on NGC had reflections. Not on the ground, though, but there were lots of mirrors in that game By the way, this game is not using screenspace reflections

@@ddnava96 At 4:32 "One of the surprising extras here is the use of screen space reflections".

@@instantstupor. I know what they said, but that's incorrect. This game is NOT using screen space reflections on the floor. It's creating real time reflections with only the important objects, like Luigi, ghosts and light sources. Sometimes one of those objects is BEHIND something else and you can't actually see them, but you can still see its reflection. At 1:49 there's a reflection of a lamp that is behind a wall and at 1:50 you can see the lamp once the camera has moved to the left. Also, reflections don't mysteriously cut off at the sides. Screen space reflections have those two limitations. If something is not on screen, it can't be reflected (that's why it's called SCREEN SPACE reflections) and it tends to cut off the reflections at the sides because the camera is usually slightly pointing downwards instead of completely horizontal

Maybe because the hardware isn't as inferior as you think.

This was done by a Canadian studio, though: Next Level Games.

@@mr_m4613 It really is. That's even more impressive.

The Switch is somewhat comparable in overall power to the Xbox 360. Why wouldn't we expect the 360 to be able to run a game of this graphical quality.

@@david-spliso1928 its between a 360 and xbox one

@@TestTest-oq1nk pathetic

@@TestTest-oq1nk I play PS4 and Xbox One as well. I love all systems.

@@TestTest-oq1nk Troll or another ponie? Hard to say the deference nowadays.

@@TestTest-oq1nk You left out the "imma2edgy4you, nothing personnel kid" I hope you are kidding about dismissing a game because its artstyle or aesthetics. Also, you might want to remember that sagas like Knack, Invizimals and many others are Ps4 franchises. That must feel awkward when you are so edgy.

Roberto Buatti 🤦‍♂️

That would be incredible to be honest

You never know this may happen....

maybe luigi's 1 and 2 remaster for the switch

The sorcery is 30fps and no photorealistic textures, which makes things much easier.

Nick Motsarsky it’s called a art style pc fanboy

@@nickmotsarsky4382 & carefully programmed for the ulp nvidia hardware..Just amazing!

Correct

jenesuispasbavard leave it to Nintendo to squeeze as much as they can out of limited tech.

ShadowEl They’ve been doing that for decades, underpowered technology, but games on par as the competitors.

lol tegra went 7nm before intel, i think just to laugh at them. oh and the effeciency gains

@@justanotheryoutubechannel Not even remotely close to being on par but impressive considering the Tegra X1 and the handheld form factor.

so old huh

Give them a break lmao

@@n2red732 they had 5 years(?) Witu xbox one and cant make a decent exclusive (games on xbox and PC aren't exclusives )

But Nintendo didn’t make theses so..

@@chrissayre705 Nintendo's second-party games are co-produced by Nintendo and heavily guided and supervised by Kyoto.

@@n2red732 Microsoft had a 8 year break... they haven't made a descent action or RPG game since Xbox 360! Just look what they did to Fable and Crackdown.

Michael Rogers To be fair, Luigi's Mansion on Gamecube looks much better than on 3DS.

Couple? More like 5

@@toxy3580 The Switch was released in 2017. It is currently 2019, not 2022. So it's 2 years old.

It's not a half a decade old gpu. It's more like 4 years. I'm not sure when the cpu was created, but probably the same time since they're on the same chip.

I just bought a Swicth so I hope they don’t haha

@@lightbox8019 he said *half a decade

@@lightbox8019 I said half a decade old...read the comment with your glasses on grandpa

This is what happens when: 1. World class art direction 2. In-House Engine and optimization

But the game was released on Halloween

@@ulisesmartinez251 The reviewer said Halloween season. That's kinda before the last day of Halloween no? Like way before.

For me the animations for the characters are, but not the graphics.

Xbox was the most powerful console of the 6th gen. Though the Gamecube can push more polys on real time with effects and has a faster cpu (that's why f-zero gx and star wars rogue squadron 2 are possible).

Gamecube was not the most powerful console of its generation. The Xbox was by a pretty decent margin too.

To be honest, LM3 is also a game about small rooms and hallways. MP4 might look like a Wii game in HD to have 60fps

Metroid Prime 4 will probably be a Switch 2 or cross gen game. It's not releasing until 2022 at the earliest, considering development restarted last year, iirc. I think the visuals will surprise us in a very good way

@@retroboy-fh1ji No the Gamecube was definitely more powerful than the OG Xbox. Gamecube had faster ram and it had a 64bit custom CPU which meant it could push much more performance per clock and was alot more efficient. The Gamecube GPU could push alot more raw polygons and effects than the OG Xbox could. Gamecube was also better at effects and geometry as well. ATI was just better than Nvidia during that time. However the Xbox did have some advantages. It could hold much more data on its discs. It had component cable HD support, it was easier to develop for sense it was basically a PC. It also had superior shaders over the Gamecube. Raw power and efficiency wise the Gamecube was more powerful than the Xbox.

It's like saying that a game can't look good on PS4 because it's tech from 2011... at least Switch is tech from 2015...

@@dayko. Yes I know, but Switch can count on quite advanced tech (both hardware and software) that make possible to show beautiful graphics while drawing only 10W (unlike XOne that must be a 100W stationary system). There are X360 that are still impressive and Switch is BY FAR more capable of an X360... so it is absolutely normal that it can perform games with very good graphics.

Lol

It does look great, but I’m not a fan of the music. Needed to be more minimalist, more funky

@@Poever I cannot agree more. The first Luigi's Mansion had an awesome soundtrack, I still listen to it these days. This one does not come even close.

Style plays a big part in games visually, and this one has a LOT of it

Hmmm you obviously haven't played God of war, horizon zero dawn, Uncharted 4, Until Dawn.... they look massively superior to this kiddie trash.... its not even close.

Nintendo games don't even have real facial animations

Heisenberg White not 1st party, some 3rd party games or early gen games dumbass

Heisenberg White bruh why is a 40 complaining about a Nintendo handheld? Do you like the vita? Most games were 360p like mk10 and nfs mw and much more

@d. g. wdym?

Correct

It's a track from Luigi's Mansion 3

@@sleepnaught not that one, the other track which was usually played on all of DF videos a year or two ago.

@@AchiragChiragg Yeah, sorry. Got to that part, haha. I remember that from all their GTA videos

@@sleepnaught yeah that's the one. Guessing what the track is called

Thomas seems to use it more than the others still I've noticed.

By being the best you mean hahaha

@@allaboutjpu Ha just as good as the others but overlooked. Not quite as flashy but has all the ability.

John Linneman has to be John Lennon, obviously

Then who is Ringo?

The awkward Richard, keeping the beat while Paul and John made the girls scream!

Yeah it's like Mario with 100% more renderpower because of the 30fps. I'd rather it was 60fps though

@@vandammage1747 then get a high end PC, everything would be 60+ fps on there.

@@JackFrost-1856 Luigi is not on pc and I don't wan't 10 game launchers, toxic community and gamepads are worthless in online games on pc.

@@vandammage1747 then you'll have to learn to adapt to 30 fps. Not all games will be 60 even on the most powerful consoles.

*Hach D*

HEYCH-DEE

I couldn't agree more. I want this analysis.

@@ThibautMahringer me too, and they said theyd do it in a past video iirc

@@skilarbabcock How can they forget that ? It's the best platformers of the PS1 era remade on a handheld.

Yeah, cartoony games without photorealistic textures aren't as hard to do as other genres. That's why Zelda looks good on the Switch.

It's called 30fps and small rooms. Mario is technically much more impressive.
