If it's being sold in stores, why would it be streaming?

I have seen steam games sold in stores. A box with a code.

 

[GreatGreen]

Guy's it's true. I found a screenshot leaked from a VERY confidential and VERY reliable source.

 

[Esppiral]

I have an I 5 4690 and I've run the game a while ago on on its I tegrated GpU it was playable at lowest settings, how would the switch compare to that?

It's not an apples to apples comparison. Your Haswell CPU nominally blows the Switch's ARM CPU out of the water but integrated GPU is much weaker than the Maxwell-based GPU the Tegra has.

 

[Revolutionary]

It's probably Thronebreaker.

[MilkyJoe]

I know people love it and all, but this hand me down lark is getting into the realms of parody now.

 

[MagnesG]

What about this.

 

[ultrazilla]

Man I don't know. I just don't think a regular Switch will do this game any sort of justice, even if the masters at Panic Button could work their magic on it.

This SCREAMS for a Switch Pro. I'm hoping it's tied into a Switch Pro announcement.

 

[Scopa]

Maybe Nintendo will release an expansion pak for the Switch?

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[ChuyMasta]

New Switch Pro better be announced with this!

 

[SonGoku]

For what its worth they managed to get TW2 on 360


Expect massive downgrades though.

 

[Petopia]

Bam nintendo fanboys get trolled and its witcher 2 or gwent, like what happened with persona 5 with scramble.

 

[Meesh]

Not gonna lie, I'd hit it. Probably a few times...

 

[LordRaptor]

Preorder bonus comes with large helpings of crow

 

[Petopia]

Nice they actually pulled through but a nintendo fanboy is not gonna know anything ablut these games without ever playing the last 2 games, but knowing switches hardware its gonna run and look like ass in the first inning and is gonna get patched like a motherfucker late game.

 

[Thabass]

Thought it wasn't going to happen.

Boy am I glad to be wrong.

 

[The Snake]

It's going to be the latest single player card game, TW3 is already potato graphics on current gen consoles, cant imagine it even booting on a tablet.

I was looking at some benchmarks and you need around 1TF gpu to run it at 720p @30 fps at low - so even if they heavily reprogrammed it to use as much FP16 as possible and use dynamic resolution we would still be looking at below 720p when docked.

The only way I can see it happening would be making it rumoured Switch Pro exclusive.



Well because it's true for some people - I had this with Vita - the hardware felt so good to me that I wanted to play every game possible on it.
I finished dozens of games on it when the ones I try now on PS4/PC usually end unfinished after few dozens of hours.

Lol not happening. Maybe the witcher tales, the card game or adventure game or whatever else.

I'm calling this bogus since the devs had said making it for Xbox 360 or PS3 would have been impossible, if it's not possible on them it's not possible on switch IMO.

That's not how software engineering works. You are dealing with concrete technological limitations, you can't suddenly magically make Crysis run in 3D on an NES just by "changing your mindset".

No way man. This is the equivalent of getting TW3 running on a smartphone.

if there's anything to this it's a witcher game coming to switch, not 'the' witcher 3

and if the 2019 revision is a "switch pro" witcher 3 would be a perfect showcase title that i'm sure nintendo would be more than willing to get behind. but that's just speculation behind speculation

No way this is happening. Remember the original Xbox One (which is still massively more powerful than the Switch) running parts of this game at 12-15 FPS even at sub HD resolutions? Yeah no, the "dream" is dead.

Its probably gwent cause the Switch cannot handle TW3's graphics unless they're gutted to the max.

 

[bumleforce]

Well its true. 240 p drains your battery in an hour. Cant be worse than ark port

 

[Von Hugh]

Not targeted at either Switch or The Witcher, but cool cherrypicking.

Edit: apparently can't quote long posts, so nevermind.

 

[Petopia]

Trying to prove a point or are nintendo fanboys just flexing cause they got sloppy thirds.

Watch, it'll be streaming or some shit

 

[Shifty]

le epic callout supreme

Mm, delicious hat.

 

[The Snake]

I love all you mooks. Let's see what they come up with.

 

[JCK75]

I have never been so happy to have been wrong.

 

[EDarkness]

Just pre-ordered on Amazon! Looking forward to playing this. Glad you folks were wrong. Heh, heh.

 

[Eteric Rice]

In some shots it looks bad, but in some others it looks alright.

Not bad!

Now we just need to get other companies to jump on board.

 

[Scopa]

Definitely doesn't look as nice as my PC version, but that's expected.

To the butthurt fanboys popping in here to still shit on this: grow up.

 

[Ulysses 31]

If they can port Witcher 3, then Cyberpunk 2077 should be possible too, right? >.>
