Waiting for reviews but this is on my radar for sure.
Warframe looks excellent and you're right--this does kind of take after that visually. Switch can definitely handle this--not to mention you can see the pop-in. Didn't notice it until after the 4th time I watched, but it's there. Unsure why people can't believe this is Switch.i play warframe, nothing in that twitter video or the trailer can't be done on Switch
Because the ongoing narrative has mutated from "the switch is less powerful than the other consoles" to "the switch is as powerful as a toaster" over time, and now people absolutely low-ball what the switch can actually do.Warframe looks excellent and you're right--this does kind of take after that visually.

I think we're past the phase of 'it must be cloud' thought it was quite annoying to have that come up during the initial reveal. Worst part, a lot of them were from youtubers doing reaction vids who you'd think they should know better.Series X player here and that video looked tangibly Switch to me, so that is really helpful. Pop in, shimmering lines, foggy distance. Not saying those as bad things, christ it is great to have NMS on Switch. I'll be getting it.
maybe buy it on sale, it seems kind of like a make it whatever you want type of endless game.Well I watched a lot of review videos on this game. Sad to say I don’t think this game is for me. I really want to support the devs and their hard work. However, I don’t want to spend money on a game that will overwhelm me and I put down rather soon.
Yeah maybe.maybe buy it on sale, it seems kind of like a make it whatever you want type of endless game.
The narrative has been fueled by some really bad running games/ports. ( I just bought the Lego Skywalker game, and this runs real bad on Switch, its unbelievable that the game runs so bad on the platform were it will have its highest sales by far. I read the developer were really challenged by the graphic engine they did not work with before.)Because the ongoing narrative has mutated from "the switch is less powerful than the other consoles" to "the switch is as powerful as a toaster" over time, and now people absolutely low-ball what the switch can actually do.
We still have people all over the internet absolutely convinced the switch can't run PS3 era games, or even PS2 era games, in some cases; which is bonkers to think about.

I'm assuming they specifically refer to the multiplayer component of settlements.I'm beyond hyped for this game, and I already have it on PS4/5. But being able to take it anywhere....I can't wait.
They confirmed it would include every expansion except the multiplayer right? In the spanish Game website they say specifically that the game won't include the frontiers expansion and it won't have settlements. It would be a downer to me, but I haven't seen this anywhere else.

Please have surround sound... Too many non-Nintendo games skip out on this.
Someone (on here?) once told me that Switch has a dedicated chip for sound stuff and it wouldn't impact CPU. Not sure if that's actually the case - audio assets have to be loaded / streamed from storage right? Decompressed by the CPU maybe...?Depends on how much performance they are willing to give up for surround sound?

We'll see, chances are I'll just put up a podcast anyways - I only play very few games all the way through with the original sound (esp. really long ones like NMS).
Ultimately, the studio opted to make two key feature concessions. First, the sprawling, town-like settlements introduced in last year's Frontiers update will be missing on Switch. "The most performance-intensive things… the very biggest constructs are something we wanted to sort of avoid on [the platform]," explains Murray.
But perhaps of more significance is the absence of multiplayer, which the team chose to omit as a result of its focus "on performance and on kind of picking our battles getting the gameplay across".
Settlements is a very new addition. It's not a big deal IMO.How big is this no settlements thing? Haven't played the game
I wonder if they’d re-add multiplayer once Drake comes out. I’d imagine so.
Awesome! Thanks for the details. It's next in line for me after NieR, so I was wondering how well it runs on the Switch.After playing the game on PS4/5, I have bought this on switch. I have to say that I'm impressed, I played it on my 55' 4K and I was expecting a bigger hit regarding the graphics. Yes, it has less resolution and texture details, but apparently 30 locked FPS, and it looks much better than I was expecting. The game is as amazing as always, and the addition of the relaxed mode for those who just want to explore and chill withouth grinding is really cool.
And then I take my switch out of the dock and yes, it looks amazing on the oled screen, having such a big universe with all the possibilities the game gives on the palm of your hand is sure something. This is one of those games who, imo, suits better on switch. Being able to just turning on the console and exploring or farming a bit is very convenient in a handled device.
@ermitron2 think of it as an animal crossing/Minecraft, yes. It has a campaign more or less "traditional" which they added after the original launch, but in the end it's a sim game. You explore, grind, build and that kind of things.
I wouldn't get my hopes up in terms of performance, but who knowsI wonder if the 4.0 patch fixes some of peoples main complaints so far (long loads times, bad pop in) as it does specifically mention its for the Switch launch as well as including all the new features
Basically. Do what you want until they patch in more. Make bases, find and name a bunch of creatures, find and name a bunch of planets, try to get a fancy looking ship with high tech installed, just look around at weird stuff.I'm interested, but I never understood whats the endgame here. Is it something more open like minecraft exploring planets and gathering resources without an specific objective?
You'd be surprised at how much they keep optimizing the game patch to patch.I wouldn't get my hopes up in terms of performance, but who knows
