Ok, so, tell me some good first person shooters you played on the Wii or WiiU.
shooters DIED over 15 years ago every fucking shooter made these days is overrated, repetitive and exactly the same as the last one made boring run and gun BULLSHIT with the MP being exactly always the same too. all they change is make the gfx more shiny for you ipad gen and add moar cut scenes and you fall for it EVERY SINGLE time. lets talk about racers shall we? they haven't changed since the PlayStation days they just add a different track and add different cars but what's different...again just the fucking gfx! your just buying the same game over and over! but that's right if you don't own a ps4/xbox and play shooters, sport and racing games online but all your friends do your an outcast. well guess what YOUR the slave to conformity too stupid to think for yourselves. you've been brainwashed into thinking only gfx shooters, sports and racing games matter. well they fucking don't!

good day GRAPHICS WHORE.

I'm just gonna repost this because you're getting triggered with your graphics whore quote ;)


Not a single person here is saying graphics over gameplay but as soon as you start talking about graphical power people start getting triggered spouting " you only care about graphics !!!!" wich nobody said anywhere here in this comment section. People are just saying it's important for them to get 3th party support for them to succeed and without 3th party support they won't. It's just dumb as soon as you start talking about specs people start calling you a graphic whore or not real gamers wich nobody is prefering over gameplay but people like to make stuff up to defend their fanboyism.

Here's the deal: Don't buy PC/Box games for a console that wasn't built for them. The Switch wasn't built for you to play ports of 5 year old games-

Oh hi Skyrim

But anyways, don't play games that you can get elsewhere on the Switch. They won't shine. It's as simple as that. You are really just kidding yourself if you waited 5 years to play something like Skyrim on the Switch (at least if its your first time. If you want skyrim on the go, then don't let me stop you). But you get what I am saying. Play games like Titanfall on PC/Xbone/PS4 where they belong. In fact, something that I have had difficulty understanding is the rift between PlayStation and Xbox anyways. They play relatively the same games. And same with the PC. Why have a PC and PS4 or Xbone when you can play them on PC? Save what, Destiny and Halo? Anyways, I digress. I keep a powerbox console for those games and a Nintendo system for *GASP* Nintendo games.

TLDR: who cares what titanfall dev says

Didn't the devs from Project C.A.R.S say they'd for sure port over the game to the Switch? I wonder what they have to say now. It's probably "We're sorry, the Switch is still considerably underpowered so we cannot work with this hardware."
You have to be a special kind of stupid if you think they would agree to port a game without knowing the specs. It isn't like Nintendo has been hiding the specs from developers until they released them to the public.

They wanted to give Nintendo fans a glimpse of hope that it would be on Nintendo's next system.

Considering the Wiiu was more powerfull than the xbox 360 and ps3, in theory the Wiiu could have handeled the original Titanfall.
Since the switch is theoratically 4 times more powerfull ( YES! it is!) than the Wiiu, a somewhat scaled down version without mandatory install would be a possibilty.
IF there is enough money to be made that is.

Also never forget the specialized chip and low level api taylored for the Switch.
Is essence more could be done with lower hardware specs .
The fact this device is mobile tells nothing powerwise if the system is docked.
Having more power than the Wii is this modular form factor is mind blowing really....
In 5 years ps4 pro level will be possible mobile is my prediction.
Remenber Sony had their chance with the Vita already...( you still need good games )

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Yes I have battlefield on my ps4 pro.
Nice game for a one time playthrough, NEXT!

Right, so because *you* think every shooter and racer out there is overrated bloated and not needed clearly the world and the whole of the industry need to stop making them and agree that they are genres now dead. Sales Nintendo cannot even see in the binoculars all come from genres like this. And you know what? I am old enough to buy all my consoles myself from the gameboy onwards (i own every console Nintendo and all other companies ever sold - i do not simply "care about racers and shoot em ups" but hey have your cookie) and i do not give a crap about the graphics themselves, but you keep on not understanding the idea that power brings 3rd parties which bring money and sales so i leave it here, obviously you think anyone that likes new games is an idiot, well i can enjoy old and new but that did not cross your mind. The world is not black and white and the soonest Nintendo and the hordes of it's fanboys understand it the better. I am happy i overcame extreme fanboyism a few years ago.

On another hand, is your attitude even appropriate? I am asking for your opinions and conversations and you call me names without even knowing me. Grow up and learn to have a decent conversation with proper arguments without calling names. You can get your point across equally well without swearing, believe it or not.

Skyrim is only released because bethesda doe'snt want to loose money, or wants to make easy money on old Ip's
Doom in 1080p is easily feasable on the switch, looking at tegra tech.
Yet to much work and money allready went into that game.

The switch will be a console with new ip's.
wich is good.
Just buy a switch to play top AAA games portable.
ALONG side your ultra HD tv bound home console with optivcal media with mandatory 30 minute install.
Also remember your Console spinning hdd wont last forever, ( only about 6 years. )

The rest of the world will use sdhc and ssd/ cartridge saves. ( like phones do for years now. )

Go modern and "switch"while you can!

That's what they want us to believe because they don't want to kill the 3ds yet. I would say that this is a portable console.
It's a hybrid, no two ways about it. That's why we have the dock. That's why the dock upgrades it to 900p. The battery life sucks and it's not good enough for it to be a dedicated portable.

It's a hybrid, because a hybrid is a handheld that can be connected to the TV.
Some hybrids use cables for that, like the PSP. Other hybrids use docks.
Also the PSP hybrid had worse battery life.

Posting this here because I can't find that other graphics comparison thread. Zelda BotW Wii U vs Switch:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/01...ld-switch-looks-compared-to-the-wii-u-verison

This one has sliders on the screenshots so you can see half and half or the full SS for either version. View and detail distance definitely looks larger on Switch version, screen space is less on Wii U version with the lower resolution, and the "vaseline smear" is somewhat present on the Wii U version but not visible at all on Switch.

I'm just copying what the dev from respawn entertainment said. But even so it should atleast come close to an Xbox one and atleast use ANTI ALIASING wich is horrible if they don't use it in lower resolution games. If it runs games in 720p 900p and can't even handle anti aliasing says enough that is doesn't even come close or half of an xbox one in graphical power. Yeah games should be fun instead of graphical but the switch has to run for 5 years and games running in 720P without anti aliasing after 2018 19 2020 etc means it won't get the 3th party support it needs. If the ps4 wich handles 1080P most games with anti aliasing and better shadowing was called underpowered in 2013 then what do you think 3th party devs will call the switch after 2017 ?
Just like the 3ds, there will be a updated hardware revision within 2-4 years of its life span in an attempt to save the system if it begins to fail because its "too weak".

But by saying that, you are encouraging people not to support third party games. You are killing the console's future even before its launch (well, it was already dead anyway).

Hey, turn down the 'tude knob from 11. Believe it or not, you can argue on the interwebz without being rude.

Also, I'm not into most shooters, sports games or racers... but those kinds of games has almost nothing to do with graphics whoring. Only playing games that looks good BECAUSE they look good is being a graphics whore.
