Final Fantasy VII Remake will run in 2K on Switch 2
, by Thibaut
Final Fantasy VII Remake director Naoki Hamaguchi discussed the Switch 2 version in a recent interview with Press-Start.
Regarding the game's graphics, Hamaguchi said that the Switch 2 iteration is pretty similar to how it runs on on Steam Deck. In docked mode, the game will run in 2K and DLSS will be used. While it won't be a native 1440p resolution, the RPG will come very close.
In addition, the director praised the game card format that will be used physically.
"I think the Game-Key Card format is in some ways very important. The loading speed on the old cartridges can make it difficult for a developer to make the modern, high-definition, quality-rich games that are common now. If we have to rely on the cartridge’s loading speed, it becomes difficult to make games that work properly.
Having the Game-Key Card, which is close to downloading a game, allows us to make games in a way that works for us. It means we can provide players with deeper and richer experiences, so I really hope that fans come around to it. I understand from a gamer’s perspective that there are some negatives to it, but it simply wouldn’t be possible for us to put these richer experiences out there on traditional cartridges. I hope that some people can see the advantages of this format in that regard."
