From playing on Switch, I can tell you, the way the game is, with the sleep mode, that is my preferred way of playing based on level design. I also don't have time to sit in front of a TV for 2 hours at a pop anymore.

Just saying how it looks on my system.
All I can tell you is that their press kit mentions HDR for PS4. No mention of it for anything else.

Buying a game because of achievements? Not in a dozen years. The dilemma is switch or PS4 Pro, but I'm probably leaning towards switch.
Correct.
Yeah that's true for anything Switch in general. I'm still confused about that pro controller thread.
I was mainly referring to people claiming they played the game at some event. YT videos are rarely a good example because they're always compressed and usually the bitrate is pretty bad.
I have it. It's not native 1080p. Handheld also looks sub 720p. Honestly.
While a agree, part of my worrying stemmed from seeing other YouTube videos of the same area looking much clearer on the ps4 version. Like this for example.
Both the switch video and the ps4 video are 1080p60fps bitrate.
9 PST, which is in two hours. It's a pretty normal release date embargo.
I'm not sure about other outlets, but I only received code on Monday night, so if it's the same for most others, I'd expect reviews to start going up on Thursday/Friday-ish.
Same, thats why I said to some to dont expect many or any reviews today.
It was supposed to go up a while ago but they said on Twitter they're having technical issues releasing it. Will be up today is all we know.
Don't buy games based on some rows in a database.
Folks will rush a review out just to be first, and rushing through this game and not focusing on exploration or collecting everything would be an injustice to the game.
I'll gladly purchase the Switch version and do a graphic comparison to the PS4 game, if that's something of interest for folks.

Impressions? Is this game fun or what?
yeah thats a sad truth. I wont be able to rush it anyways cuz I kinda suck it at it right now lol
lol the game does progressively get more challenging as the level design really expands and introduces new obstacle types. I felt confident in my climbing and slithering abilities after finishing the first world, but soon found myself struggling to collect everything in the second world. I need to get better at the tightening technique.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some early reviews are only based upon the first world and may be a few from the second.

Dammit.
I'm sure DF will be doing that as this is the first major UE4 game on Switch and its first major day-and-date multiplatform indie release, but it never hurts to get more opinions on the matter!
I had the exact same experience. The leap from the first realm to the second one is significant.

That's more or less the dilemma that I'm facing here. I can currently play games way more often on Switch, but I'd lose some of the competitive aspects. Boosting my gamerscore is just strangely satisfying, but so are the other "competitive" leaderboard stats that show up on Xbox for a given game.
I'm heavily leaning towards the Switch version to start, just to support the platform.
I'll do as I please! As I stated above, I should have also included that I enjoy the other metrics that Xbox automatically tracks against your friends. Things like time played, collectibles found, etc... make playing a single player game more social for me.
Embargo down. Here's a video of gameplay from Nintendolife. It looks quite good.

You know a review is going to be a rushed one when the first third of it is copied and pasted from the email that came with the review code...

This game actually looks fucking sick. I first noticed it on the PSN advertising sections. Totally getting this game, I love snakes. Anything long, I like trucks too with lots of trailers lawl.
Don't even care if it reviews shitty, you play as a snake. Fuck the reviews. Lol.

Good to hear. I quit last night after completing the first realm, collecting everything on my first run. I was finally starting to feel like I was starting to get a grasp on it.
It all really started to come together when I began to use the

to tightly coil myself around things.
Site is called ProvenGamer so you know it's a legit source
Apparently they had issues submitting or something to the store, it should have been up since midnight

Snake Pass seems to be having some issues. The other game, Has Been Heroes, is available now.
The Switch version on display here really looks washed out, in comparison to the version (Xbox or PC) shown in the IGN video.
The colors are lot less vivid, weird.

Yup, that's what I'm seeing too. Docked has to be 720p.
Ugh, bleh, I can't stand reviews that start off with dopey hypothetical questions like, "Oh boy, what can I say about X?". Gee, I dunno, you're writing a review ding dong I would hope you would have at least a few things to say about it.
The nintendolife video looks more vivid than this, check it out. Might be the way this was captured
It looks quite different from the Nintendolife video I posted earlier. Weird.
Looks like he's completely crushing the blacks by setting it to RGB full.
Game looks like great fun though, will definitely pick it up.
Yeah I agree. There was another video I saw a while ago that addressed many people's switch videos being washed out looking if they didn't set their capture and switch display settings appropriately. May be related to that? One can hope at least....
