Texture detail is also pared back which, again, is expected bearing in mind the vast system memory differential.

Beyond this, water rendering is reduced in quality with the surface no longer distorting objects beneath. This is another smart choice and is typically one of the first visual features you'd scale back on less powerful hardware. Shadow resolution is also pared back significantly with shadow maps now lacking fine detail. It's a smart optimisation to reduce the geometry throughput.

The changes are smartly made, however, and not something you'd necessarily pickup on outside of direct comparisons. Secondly, mesh detail is reduced across the board. Basically, in most cases, lights are drawn in close proximity to the camera but in certain other sequences, they are completely absent - especially during cutscenes. This applies to everything from additional scenery lights to large scale flashes during stormy effects. As a deferred renderer, usually this doesn't buy back a lot of performance but the Switch is extremely bandwidth-limited which makes this more challenging. While similar, the cuts are many: first and foremost, dynamic lights are aggressively culled on Switch.

It's still recognisably the same game, albeit running at half the frame-rate - there's a 30fps cap in place here, which I do prefer over the unlocked alternative on the standard PS4 and Xbox One. But perhaps the more interesting story is how the game was squeezed onto Nintendo Switch. It also features 3D audio which becomes available when using headphones. Loading times are also dramatically faster though perhaps not quite as fast as games built from the ground-up for the system. Detail is improved slightly and any issues observed in that original version have been eliminated. However, Unreal Engine's temporal upsampling feature brings in accumulated data from prior frames, integrating with the current one to give a much higher level fidelity.īut what else has changed on PS5? Well, the visuals receive an extra touch of polish. Most of the dips seem to manifest in the more demanding cutscenes.

In docked mode, the average resolution we found is in the 720 to 792p range while portable is closer to 540p with dips below that in some cases. Switch, however, offers a very different visual experience.

In terms of image quality, the PlayStation 5 version predictably improves this with a jump to 4K rendering, though dynamic resolution scaling can see some slight dips beneath. The base version looks fine but runs with an unstable, uncapped frame-rate.

Users of the enhanced Pro and One X renditions had the best experience with a frame-rate that mostly hit 60fps, though both were limited to the same 1080p as the vanilla PS4, while Xbox One S delivered the game at 900p.

To appreciate the upgrades and changes in this new version of Crash 4, let's quickly recap the Xbox One and PS4 results. Still, PS5 and Switch make for an interesting combination in that we're seeing Crash Bandicoot 4 viewed through the lens of systems with a huge variation in horsepower - though both are powered with Unreal Engine 4.

You'll note that we're limited to just PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch for this piece - Series support is on the table, but it's not easy for publishers to distribute Smart Delivery code to journalists when the title is already available publicly, something we hope to see addressed soon. It's far from perfect, but it's a solid platformer that shines on its new host consoles. The arrival of this release is a good thing - Crash 4 is a worthy successor to the original trilogy that feels true to its roots, while offering some new ideas along the way. Initially released just before the arrival of the new wave of consoles, Crash Bandicoot 4 is set to arrive imminently on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series machines - but Activision has thrown us a curveball with the simultaneous release of a port for Nintendo Switch.
