I could see them porting GTAV to Switch 2 because as you are saying it would essentially a not too difficult port I imagine. But I don‘t see them doing Online. For that it is too late already now. They likely would not make enough money out of it to justify it.
How do you even know how "next Switch" performs?
What? We are running into a lot of assumptions.
Thank you for the information but this is a Nintendo community. Shouldn't we close the entire site since Nintendo isn't really known for being inclusive? Regardless. This is the hardware discussion. Thx for the link.
It's the internet. Sometimes I can't tell anymore...
I don't know if when they started development nescesarily matters to much in terms of rendering tech.
It was restarted in 2020 apparently.
This sounds about right.
I'd like to add Ubisoft's upcoming offerings to Tier B, as well as Konami's MGS Delta and any potential announcements in the game awards. Many of these might end as Tier A actually, since they'll be pushing PS5 harder by default... It's not a very accurate metric with that alone, but I can dig it.
Thank you!
It doesn't. Alan Wake 2 and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart are literally games that run on SteamDeck... Again, let's stop doing assumption and trying to categorize games into weird tiers that doesn't make sense and are simple based on perceived visual flourish. A game is much more than visuals and there's a lot of others components that are part of games that stress others parts of the system in different ways.
That's quite interesting and perhaps the source of the rumor that spreader earlier on Twitter. Thank you fwd-bwd! Once we cross into 2024, things will start to look much more exciting.
Since this is OT, I’ll keep this short and move on. Although NCL definitely has room to improve regarding inclusion, it is nonetheless one of the more inclusive Japanese corporations. For example, they offer equal benefits to same-sex partners, even though same-sex marriages to this day is still banned in Japan.
its been said that things like mesh shaders are something that needs to be designed around rather than something that can be dropped into an engine for games to support. while how they handle geometry could change partway through development, it's probably decided on early one and unchanged (in a perfect scenario).
You think this is very clever I imagine.
It does and it does a lot. Once you laid out a project, stablish the foundations and scope, the tech and tools you will be using, it's harder to change or adapt to new things until you ship and can work on add-on, fixes or goes towards the next project.
With a game like GTA there's about a million things that needs to be planned out before you even start thinking about graphics.
Interesting.
I have to assume this doesn't really represent a change in their prediction, just a difference in phrasing. January and February are clearly off the table, so "March or April" and "early 2024" might as well be synonymous at this point. I guess May is debatable.
If they were doing that, and some do, are of course doing it in bad faith. But some keep hoping Nintendo release a home only console that isn't restrained by portable restrictions and are continuously disappointed.
Interesting. I was also wondering what their definition of "early 2024" would be because when I see "early 2024", normally I don't think of months like May, June.
Unlikely, the Switch 1 has enough gas left in the tank for one more general Direct in February. I don't think we're seeing the Switch 2 in any official capacity until at least March.
It's entirely possible that the game could be pushing the CPUs of the bigger systems pretty hard to the point where scaling it down to the Switch 2 may not be feasible, so GTAVI coming to the Switch 2 isn't exactly a safe bet.
That's a dumb thing to hope for. Nintendo has achieved their long term goal of unifying their game development pipeline, and they have a long term partnership with Nvidia providing them full fledged desktop class gpu architectures in a mobile weight class. Even when they were making home consoles, they never made 200+ watt beasts. Power consumption was important to them even when not restricted by a battery.
The smelly valley.
One can still dream.
What's so scary about the idea of April?
Or March
NES was only 9W- less than Nintendo Switch.
They still had a 3DS direct in September 2016, a month before the Switch announcement. I could totally see them still doing one last dedicated Switch direct in February followed by a March announcement.
In such a scenario. do you think dedicated Switch direct in February would be MP4-less?
Like I said in that post. We're talking about an unreleased game for an unreleased platform. It is already pure assumptions that this would be a momunmental task to begin with. But it being challenging is far less of a reason to not port it compared to other titles since it is fucking Grand Theft Auto.
Wow! Those things hardly even consumed anything compared to what we have now.
They could reveal the game if the new system is still a bit far away from it, if the new switch is BC you can always play it that way, i suppose this could imply that the NG version of the game and the old version would be the same and it will be matter only of how you play the game
