They launched a tech overview for the Swap model of Ace Fight 7: Skies Unknown, evaluating the Swap port to the Xbox One model. Digital Foundry says that “for those who go slightly deeper, there are some key variations that separate the 2 releases – even when in typical gameplay a few of these adjustments aren’t terribly evident”.
For instance, “the draw distance for foliage parts is pulled in dramatically on Swap, producing far more apparent pop-in than we see on Xbox One. Plus, density takes successful as nicely, even at shut vary. Timber are much less quite a few on Swap, and the grass is patchier”. They do notice that this difficulty doesn’t completely apply to buildings as a result of “constructions pop in at across the identical distance throughout each machines, and customarily the density and draw distance is comparable. In additional dense metropolis areas although, the draw distances have been pulled in significantly on Swap for many constructing fashions, suggesting this can be tweaked on an object-by-object foundation to cut back load”. Additionally they say that lighting additionally noticed some small tweaks on the Swap, and post-processing has been downgraded.
Nonetheless, Digital Foundry’s expertise with the sport doesn’t appear to be ruined from these issues.

The core visible expertise has been capably translated to run on Swap at a secure efficiency stage, with numerous nips and tucks however nothing that basically compromises the expertise. Put face to face with far more highly effective Xbox One {hardware}, it manages to carry its personal in quite a lot of gameplay eventualities. Plus, the pre-rendered movies aren’t overly compressed and the sport even manages to throw in a clear 1080p UI for good measure – a characteristic absent on the Xbox”.
So how is the Swap port of the sport total? Digital Foundry was very constructive about it, saying that the sport “comes extremely really helpful on Swap.
