Quite a few new discounts on Amazon the past few days.

RE Triple Pack preorder is now 17% off, $50 shipped.

Which is still $30 more than I'm willing to pay so...whatever, somebody else might bite.

5 & 6 are up to pre-load, with 1/3rd off each if you own any others on Switch.... They also have free demos available! Anyone?

I don't know why we can't just get RE 7 on switch. I mean if the witcher 3 and doom were possible why not?

A cost-benefit analysis probably told Capcom that an RE7 Switch port isn't worth the investment.

I don't believe the Japan-only streaming-only version of RE7 is being played very much.

Maybe they will, @Zeldafan79 .... ? It's as much about whether Capcom thinks it's worth the effort, though Just because CD Projekt Red thought it was worth doing with W3 doesn't mean they will do that with their game

well i just think it's high time developers make the effort and start getting on the switch bandwagon. we've already proven it's likely possible to port RE 7 but they wanna give us that streaming crap instead. For shame!

Resident Evil 7 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey. That's 2 examples of high-end gaming in a country where streaming is smooth - on a console that would need a downgraded version for both games.

Downgraded to make them run on Switch hardware, these games would look like a 640p-with-30fps-YouTube video, due to the specs, and with low-res textures due to the file size limit and compression.

In a Japanese stream you get 4K quality without lag. Sure, you won't own the game, but you pay less and get the best experience. It's not Nintendo's, Capcom's, or Ubisoft's fault that other countries have crappy networks so that streaming high-end games isn't feasible.

Nintendo and Capcom will release Resident Evil 7 on a Nintendo console physically, when the system can provide the power. You see, all Resident Evil games come to a Nintendo platform sooner or later.

It's always possible. It's a matter of how big a market there'd be for a specific game, and then the cost of porting.

Unfortunately, Resident Evil doesn't do that well on Nintendo consoles in general. Revelations on the 3DS didn't even cross 1 million sales at retail, which is insane given that it was a very early release, it was the best-looking game on the system, and it was a pretty damn good game too.

If they port anything, it'll probably be RE2 remake. I think that sold better than 7.

5 & 6 got murdered by digital foundry. The frame rate is all over the place. The resolution is 1080p but they lowered effects like smoke and a blur effect which make the game look worse. 6 is worse than 5 and 5 didn't get a good tech review. Makes me sad since I wanted 5 for local lan party.

It's likely one of those things that you don't really notice that much while playing. Like with Revelation 2.

I quite enjoyed that one on the switch.

@StableInvadeel I don't know. I think most people who say these types of things didn't get accustomed to proper frame rates from using a pro or an x. For me it's immediate that I notice it.

Well, you notice it, but at least for me it kinda phases out after a while and I stop giving it importance. Unless it gets super bad. Like 12fps bad.

@StableInvadeel so you basically will only complain when Nintendo switch frame rates mimic N64 frame rates? I mean cool if that's true but I don't think you should be giving your recommendation to the majority then.

For example, I had no problem enjoying Metal Gear Solid 3 on the 3DS. I did notice the dips here and there, but I was busy playing the game.

It was all fine until it turned into a slide show at the end. Then it was very hard to enjoy that part. Which was thankfully the very last section of the game.

With Revelations 2 I did see dips and noticed the graphical quirks, but it didn't interfere with my overall enjoyment of the game.

I haven't been able to see the video yet, but from the demos they feel perfectly playable.

Besides the fact that I can't change the language in-game in 6. And that they don't seem to have motion controls as an option, which is more of a deal breaker for me tbh.

Are Re5 and 6 anything like the revelations games? I really enjoy those more than 0 and 1. So depending on how the play I may pick them up.

@StableInvadeel that's a good thing though. That's what i liked about revelations. Maybe I'll snag the triple pack then and get re4 tossed in.
