If this is true than maybe we could expect some other ports from the Shield.this is ported by Nvidia, suprisingly
I'd do unspeakable things for L4d2 on switchNow do L4D
We already got the most of them. Only remaining ones are Half Life 2, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Rising and MGS Collection. I'm sure Tomb Raider will come from Feral.If this is true than maybe we could expect some other ports from the Shield.
It's true.If this is true than maybe we could expect some other ports from the Shield.
what about the hl1 remake, blackmesa? that would be really cool.My favorite announcement. I'm really hoping a Half-Life collection makes it to the Switch as well.
yup this is an easy buy.Super random but since its one of my favorite series I'll buy it for sure just to support the game and also replay both gmes
Black Mesa probably not, due to licensing and/or legal issues.what about the hl1 remake, blackmesa? that would be really cool.
I think optimisation would be a bigger issue with that as it's more demanding and a little less polished than the older Valve originals.Black Mesa probably not, due to licensing and/or legal issues.
This is by the same Nvidia Studio that did the Valve Nvidia Shield ports and should be pretty much based on those as they both used the Tegra.Two of the best video games of all time, full stop.
Not 100% sure, but the games appear to be running at 60fps in the trailer. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of these games run at 30fps, so this should be the definitive console versions of these games.
You are in for a treat, some of the best gaming out there.one of those out of nowhere announcements. I'm going to buy these because I never had a chance of playing these games. I think my wife and I will love the co op in 2.
It's alot more than that. Valve did not develop Black Mesa: The Crowbar Collective did. Valve gave their blessing to them with the use of the IP, and since it was a PC title on Steam that was no issue.I think optimisation would be a bigger issue with that as it's more demanding and a little less polished than the older Valve originals.
They would probably be able to work something out licensingwise as Valve is literally selling it on their own store.
Yeah I know, I followed the game before even the mod was released and played that original mod version on release.It's alot more than that. Valve did not develop Black Mesa: The Crowbar Collective did. Valve gave their blessing to them with the use of the IP, and since it was a PC title on Steam that was no issue.
Here lies the rub though: What about licensing it on other platforms? This is where it can get tricky and would require Valve, Crowbar Collective, Nvidia Lightspeed (presuming they will handle the porting like they did with Portal/Portal 2), and Nintendo.
It's technically not Valve's work, but it is using their IP. It's Crowbar Collective's work, and they themselves said they have no plans porting it to other platforms due to the legal hurdles that need to be done (i.e. they would need to draft a very special contract to make this work).
I mean, if Valve is really crazy, they can propose releasing a Steam Link app for Switch: It's technically not a Cloud service, and they can use it as an excuse for having a "PC remote management app" on the Switch. Dunno if Nintendo would approve... (Having it being a remote service does mean it isn't truly portable. But then again, they mentioned Cloud service games were "portable" so long as you had an internet connection...)Until then the Steam Deck is probably the only way to get that game on a Handheld.
Yeah I don't think that would happen.I mean, if Valve is really crazy, they can propose releasing a Steam Link app for Switch: It's technically not a Cloud service, and they can use it as an excuse for having a "PC remote management app" on the Switch.

And yeah, Steam Link basically lets you do that too: Use Microsoft Word on your Switch.
I think of it as a portable PC.Anyway it's wild that this even exists while Valve is releasing the Steam Deck around this month.
Though the Steam Deck is an even less portable device than the Switch which I already think is a bit to big.
