Gaming Lets Talk About GTAV for Nintendo Switch

[DreIceAge]

The guy who leaked about LA Noir coming for Switch says according to the same source, he thinks GTAV is next. I wouldn't be surprised if this was true because I am one of the many gamers who flooded Rockstar's email last year when a rep on their customer support page said that if we wanted GTAV for Nintendo Switch then we should send them an email.

GTA5 Just turned 4 years old last week. It made more money in shark cards this fiscal year than any other year. Grand Theft Auto 5 tops 75 million units shipped. It would be no surprise if GTAV for the Nintendo Switch was ported just so that Rockstar can make more money from Shark Cards off Nintendo's loyal fans since microtransactions are the real money maker right now. Just look at the abomination that is EA's NBALive.

We know Reggie wants it.

“We want every high-quality game to have an opportunity to be played on Nintendo Switch," Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's president and chief operating officer told IGN in an interview at E3 2017. "Every single one. Fill in the blank of third-party, high-quality game really wanted on Nintendo Switch; the answer is yes."

GTAV will probably be the 360/PS3 720p/30fps version with higher texture compression and some visual enhancements because the PS4/Xbone version would drain battery life too fast. Here's a comparison between PS3/PS4 GTA. Some of the nature environments of the PS3 version look almost as good as Zelda BoTW.



Some gamers have asssumed that the Switch is too weak for GTAV but I disagree. If Doom, Skyrim and all it's DLC (14.3GB) and Wolfenstein 2 can fit on Switch, so can GTAV. The PS3 version of GTAV was 36GB so with Nintendo's superior compression technology they should get the game down to 16GB or so and due to DLC content for GTA Online, we would need an SD card.

The Nintendo Switch has 4GB of ram which is far more RAM than the 256Mb that the 360/PS3 version had available for the game. The 256Mb Ram limitation is what caused Rockstar to no longer be able to support GTA Online for 360/PS3. That won't be an issue with the Nintendo Switch and it's possible we could see some exclusive Nintendo Switch DLC content.

Maybe Rockstar is taking so long to bring GTAV over to Nintendo Switch because it wants to add the single player DLC they have promised us and failed to deliver over the past 4 years in order to justify releasing GTAV again at full price. However, this I doubt because Leslie Benzies was fired and now working on a new game. He was a large reason why the single player campaign was so good in the first place.

Maybe they are also adding new music. It's a 4 year old game and sometimes licenses change. Hopefully we get better music cause the soundtrack was kind of bland.

GTA V could totally run on the Switch. People forget it's a last-gen title built for the PS3/XB360, which the Switch outmatches in performance. If they wanted to, they could totally do a Switch port, and I think they would totally get a lot of sales. Nintendo will improve their 3rd party lineup, fans will be pleased, and everyone wins, no? Maybe I'd even buy it was my first GTA game (was never interested in the series).

Actually, if I'm not a complete retard NBA2K18 is 2K, not EA


Anyhow, I'd love GTAV on my Switch.

Of course the switch can handle it, but undocked mode will be a problem. Be prepared for noticiable slowdowns on undocked mode unless rockstar downgrades the shit out of the visuals when jumping to portable mode.

The switch on undocked mode is weaker than the wii u. The gpu clock speed is reduced pretty badly making it the lowest compared to the ps3/360/wii u one, even the cpu is clocked slighty lower than the wii u one.

I know clock speeds dont always mean that much, so if im wrong, i apologize. The tegra x1 is a pretty damn nice chip so miracles can be done.

I don't think Nintendo would allow GTAIV. They've taken a stance against games like gtaIV ever since the sega/Nintendo lawsuit about games being 2 violent for kids. They do allow games with a degree of violence but i don't see them allowing games on their platform where you can mow down people and bad language.

I hope you're right and they're porting RDR instead

How is that equal to gta. I don't see them saying n**** and shit like that in those games or violence against ethnic groups etc ...

Dont you mean GTA V?

They might take exception it even if they have a censorship policy, considering that it's still a popular game (sales wise) and could be a killer app.

They're allowing DOOM on it, which granted is against demons from hell, but it's still a violent game involving 'ripping and tearing'.

yeah i meant gtaV but again i don't see any hate speech in games like doom. Yeah you have violence in games like doom but still nothing controversial like in GTA

I’m feeling a GTA IV remaster to all platforms including the switch on the 10 year anniversary
GTA V would be fantastic on the switch and I’d probably buy it again

If Doom and Wolfenstein 2, games made for modern-gen hardware, can run smoothly on Switch undocked, then GTA 5, a game made for last-gen hardware, can also run smoothly on Switch undocked. Let's not get into engine specifics or optimization times here to keep things simple, but Doom and Wolfenstein 2 make a good case for the system.

Friendly reminder that GTA 1 and GTA 2 exist on Gameboy Color and GTA Chinatown Wars exists on NDS

But there wasn't anything controversial speech in those games as in the newer GTA games. I don't mind stuff like that but Nintendo has taken a stance against stuff like that since the lawsuit that they had with Sega together. We'll see but i don't think so. Look how they censor voicechat just so that there's no chance of hates peech whatsoever.

 

[Pippin666]

Maybe, since they finally allow Super Meat Ball.

GTAV would be awesome on the Switch and would be a day one purchase for me.

I also want to see Persona 5 on the system since that game or the ps3 version of it could definitely run on the Switch.

Did you already forget about Chinatown Wars for the DS?

The game even had a drug dealing mini game (which was actually quite fun too.) Nintendo isn't above having a GTA game on their system.

 

[duffmmann]

I really think its just a matter of when and not if. As to when GTA V will come to Switch. However, if GTA VI is only right around the corner, in a year or two, then perhaps they wouldn't bother with GTA V on Switch (regardless of if they can get VI on the Switch or not). But, I think the earliest we could expect VI would be 2020 at the earliest, so I definitely could still see V coming to the Switch within a year or two here.

You're not a complete retard, since NBA2K18 is made by 2K. OP was talking about NBA Live, though.

I was thinking gtav is 50 gb
HOW THE HELL CAN YOU DOWNLOAD DIS SHIAT ON YOUR SWITCH
