it actually is......reading fundamental.....keywords you missed.. features are pared back or missing, and if you continue to read they show you which one was pared back, so its not ps3 or 360 version......and they cannot call it a remaster or special edition if it never came out on Nintendo before

The existing Special Editions brought across the impressive volumetric lighting from Fallout 4, which is pared back or missing altogether in some cases on Switch. Shadow quality is necessarily shifted to a lower resolution (though edge filtering is fine, making the drop hard to pick up on) while ambient occlusion also seems to have taken a hit. Texture resolution is also visibly pared back in some areas, but by and large, this is only noticeable up-close - further back, Switch compares favourably. In terms of intelligent, well-chosen compromises to make, all of these changes are perfectly understandable and while the Switch version starts to lose some of the more subtle, pleasing effects of the full-fat current-gen console versions, the game still manages to impress - and the impact is even less of an issue when playing in handheld mode.

The key to bringing Skyrim to Switch is all about managing level of detail. Again, well-chosen cuts have been made here. Up-close, aside from changes to debris settings, the port retains the majority of object detail - geometry settings are, by and large, a match. Long distance detail also looks very similar indeed.

Just because a couple of settings are turned off/dialed back doesn't mean it's not the special edition. The lighting system, new textures/foliage, water shaders ect are all present from the special edition, just look at the comparsions: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Sure...

Lol so wrong

DrJones - Uh, Witcher 3 is 2 generations ahead of this game.

'Upscaled PS2 game' That is where you are wrong
