i don't think this has anything to do with the dev or the switch itself. the game just wasn't very successful on its original platforms so there's little incentive to continue working on a switch port.I wonder if things are going well at Virtuos. This was supposed to be their next game and they have nothing else planned. Switch/Switch 2 losing Virtuos as a port studio would be a major blow.
This is a time consuming game (40-50 hours) and it's impossible to play on Deck for me unless it's plugged at all times. Deck's battery life only last 45 minutes - 1 hour for current gen games. They need to focus on battery for the next version of Deck but I doubt they will.Lame. Guess I could get it on Steam Deck.
“That’s easy, just drop the settings until it looks worse than a hypothetical Switch version, then the battery life will be fine”This is a time consuming game (40-50 hours) and it's impossible to play on Deck for me unless it's plugged at all times.

But it's already getting a down port versions for PS4 and Xbox One. Switch version would have sold much better than those, possibly even double of that. I think there's some other reason for this. Either they moved the game to the successor or, as I said, Virtuos is no longer doing Switch ports. Vituos has released multiple Switch ports a year but right now they have nothing. Nier Automata was their latest job and it seems they are done with Switch.i don't think this has anything to do with the dev or the switch itself. the game just wasn't very successful on its original platforms so there's little incentive to continue working on a switch port.

That july game could be our only and final upcoming "miracle port", I think.
Some demanding games hover around 1 hour for me, with default settings. Lowest point it died was 45, playing The Last of Us remastered (and the Deck got pretty hot despite the fan). Right now I'm playing Tales of Arise, a full battery goes for 75-80 minutes.Shame. The Xcom 2 port was good. Was hoping for the same, albeit with a proper physical not that nonsense download required.
I never saw sub 1 hour (usually 2+) even when playing at 40hz with some settings at high.
I doubt Virtuos would take on the job if it really was impossible. They are the masters of the craft.yeah, i'm not surprised. Game runs like shit on PS5, with sub 20FPS during certain attacks
have you considered the most likely that possibility this port simply wasn't possible
Almost any port is possible with the right compromises and investment... The investment was obviously just not worth ithave you considered the most likely that possibility this port simply wasn't possible
I guess I'll hope some streamer I enjoy plays it
I've seen the name, but never watched him. I'll give a try later, thanksI've been enjoying Kyle Bosman's playthrough of it, after checking out the demo, not liking the gameplay too much but kinda digging the writing.
The Book Club arc alone has been worth it.
I dont think this has anything to do with virtuous. They released a few months ago Nier and the port was universally acclaimed. I think this is more related to the poor sales of the game, it bombed and 2K was disappointed, they stated that some time ago.Dang, I wanted to play this. I guess I'll play it... never.

Only thing that's gonna die is the "miracle ports", as no one will bother with that. Smaller stuff continue to pour in, especially from Namco, Sega, KoTec, Square-Enix and NISA. They should cover the time period between now and Switch 2 launch nicely. Namco still has tons of stuff left to remaster and they did tease multiple Digimon projects.I did say before that this kind of behaviour is going to become more and more common this year…
Switch is coming to an end, and 3rd party support is starting to die. This is just another example of what we’re going to be seeing throughout 2023-2024; and the only real fix is an announcement and release of Switch 2.
A game bombed on other platforms so the cancelled further budget for this game. Has nothing to do with "Switch coming to an end".I did say before that this kind of behaviour is going to become more and more common this year…

Virtuos does support/asset contracting on like every other AAAA game, like most Keywords studios. Full production ports are actually a side business for them (that really kicked up more with demand on Switch), they're gonna be fine.Dang, I wanted to play this. I guess I'll play it... never.
