The Nintendo Switch port of Alien: Isolation has better image quality than the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions.
Digital Foundry’s investigation into Feral Interactive’s Switch port of Alien: Isolation – which comes out today – has discovered that it’s the best the game has looked on a console.
This is surprising as most Switch ports are downgrades as the original games are designed for more powerful hardware found in other consoles and PCs.
“The Switch version is substantially cleaner in motion,” Digital Foundry reports. “This is due to a reliance on more modern accumulation temporal anti-aliasing. This approach massively reduces in-surface aliasing and edge shimmering to the point where it looks flat out better than the original console release, even if it is running at a higher pixel-count.”
