By Re-uploaded teaser highlights stark upgrades compared to Switch 2
No one disputes that the Switch 2 is an extraordinary gadget, a massive leap beyond its predecessor.
Yet, owing to its portable design and compact chassis, it isn’t a PS5.
Thus, when Capcom unveiled the newest teaser for Resident Evil Requiem during this week’s Nintendo Direct, we glimpsed the title running on the plumber’s hardware.
Sony has since re-shared the same clip captured on PS5, letting viewers soak it in again with richer shadows and a polished overall delivery.
Although the Switch 2 build appears serviceable, the gulf is unmistakable; protagonist Grace Ashcroft’s lavish locks suffer the most obvious cutback.
Illumination – a headline element in this entry – likewise shifts markedly, forfeiting the richness and nuance found on PS5.
Naturally, the RE Engine’s adaptable nature benefits Capcom, and countless gamers will doubtless have a blast on Switch 2. That’s perfectly fine.
Still, the journey will plainly be superior on PS5, where heightened fidelity deepens the immersive pull.
After catching two previews, how do you feel about Resident Evil Requiem? Which system will you choose? Share your take below.
