Gaming Lets Talk About GTAV for Nintendo Switch

You won't have to. Most of those 50GB are high resolution textures that the Switch couldn't handle anyways. In a Switch version textures would be smaller. I'd expect 25GB at most with all updates so far.

Thats even less than the nba on switch or?

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.

If they brought GTAV and/or RDR, I would buy both of them.
Specially RDR.
My old copy for Xbox is collecting dust and I still want to play it, but I just can't find the time to do it home.

I would love love love for GTA or RDR to come to Switch. They would have to optimize them to run on Switch, but it can definitely be done.

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.

The doom engine is easily scalable, already confirmed by bethesda. And even with that, the undocked version drops its resolution, makes the texture work blurry and dont forget the 30 fps compared to the other versions, which also has noticiable drops in some areas.

Yes, optimization is a thing every dev should do, but let's not say it runs smoothly on undocked unless they prove it otherwise in the final game. Way too early to praise it.

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.

Some gamers have asssumed that the Switch is too weak for GTAV but I disagree. If Doom, Skyrim and all it's DLC and Wolfenstein 2 can fit on Switch, so can GTAV. Rockstar will probaby just use an enhanced version of the 360/PS3 version of GTAV. It should fit on Switch since it was a 8GB install on 360/PS3. These same gamers also assume that Nintendo Switch wouldn't be able to handle GTA Online due to memory limitations causing Rockstar to stop supporting GTA Online for 360/PS3. The only reason Rockstar stopped supporting GTA Online for 360/PS3 was due to memory constraints (256mb) because it would no longer take more of the new content they keep adding. That shouldn't be an issue with the Nintendo Switch since it has 4GB to work with. The Nintendo Switch online infrastructure can handle Doom online and crossplay titles like Rocket League and Minecraft so we should be good there.

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.

if it's ps4/xbox one/pc version go for it rockstar, i would really want that

*shrugs* I think they're relaxing their overly conservative views when it comes to publishing in the USA. Rockstar probably wouldn't respond well to "publish everywhere but the states", so that'll be the sticking point.

Hate speech and controversial speech, huh? Because they curse and say the N word? As long as only actual adults play, then being able to separate fact from fiction is the player's responsibility. Playing as, or engaging with, really shitty people is kind of what Rockstar is all about.

Still don't think we'll see games like that on the switch but who knows, maybe i'm wrong, only time will tell.

Just looked it up...PS3 version of GTAV digital total filesize was 36GB. Even if texture compression and smaller resolution textures are used to get it down to maybe 20 something GB an SD card will still be required.

360/PS3 version ran at 720p/30fps.

Switch has way more RAM and a far newer architecture and CPU. It should be able to run that version of GTAV undocked with enhancements.

Easy... expand your memory with an SD .

oh yes

Man, I am unintentionally predicting all Switch's future games one by one. Mentioned I'd like GTAV on Switch and that it would run fine in the LA Noire thread. After asking for DOOM4 in the Skyrim thread and subsequently having it revealed.

GTAV on Switch would be something special. I just installed GTA for GBA on my N2DS, talk about an upgrade. First current-gen GTA game on a portable.

Lol, no it's not, the footage looks great. I know you chose to be a Switch troll early, but there's always time to get on the hype train instead. Or you can stick with your sad, boring, low-energy box consoles.

The resolution is the same docked and unlocked for DOOM

You clearly didn't play Chinatown Wars
Oh and also Wolfenstein 2 has already been announced for the Switch.

My point is, your logic is extremely outdated and it seem Nintendo has moved past their previous issues.

Again for the 3th time i was talking about hate speech and controversial speech. I don't see any of that in wolfenstein or Chinatown wars. And again i already said and i'll quote myself again ''Still don't think we'll see games like that on the switch but who knows, maybe i'm wrong, only time will tell.''

 

[DeslotlCL]

It's not locked 720p on portable mode, it is dinamic, so it drops below 720.

You lost this argument. Just take the L. There are KKK members and Nazis chilling together in one of the Wolfenstein 2 trailers.

It is dynamic everywhere. A brief analysis of the sentence suggest he wanted to say "docked and undocked", actually "locked" was never said there. Just a mistake in wording.

But they don't say n**** so your argument is invalid
