Topic: When will we see a Witcher 3 port for Switch

@FaeKnight heck, the ps4 and xbox versions are even maxed and you dont hear anybody complaining.

@diwdiws Like, one with a really strong narrative.

I mean, the series is from books, no?
I imagine they world build just fine there without 60fps hd vsyncin'.

But, I too, do like a visually pleasing game, so I feel ya, but at the same time, good god dang do I dig me handheld games.

@nonprophetmusic but it does have a good narrative

@diwdiws I... literally said that. You mentioned how if it lost much in terms of graphical quality, it would just "be another action rpg," or some such.

I don't think a relative downgrade in visual fidelity will turn something that is genuinely good into "just another," action rpg.

@diwdiws The GIF is compressed too. I can assure you it looks a lot better on screen. Anyway, The Witcher isn't Uncharted pretty or anything. It can't be. But it doesn't look bad either. Visual fidelity isn't what's selling the game through visuals, but like you said, its ability to bring life to its environments.

Anyway, I think CDPR is way too busy with Cyberpunk 2077. Though I guess they could outsource the project.

@Octane yep thats what i meant, the video posted showing the lowest of the low settings Loses something, the somber tone of the game i think.

Well according to rumours today, soon.

I'll believe it when I see it.

It will never happen, there's just no way from a technical point of view.

@FrankGarrett We saw with Ark: Survival Evolved what happens if you do your damndest to get a game running. It CAN run. It just won't look like anything like the game on other consoles and PC.

Storage is likely the biggest hurdle though. Currently it's wasting like 50 or so GB on my PC (I say wasting because the game's combat is garbage so I was not enticed to keep playing). Shrinking that for the Switch will require a 32 GB card or a partial download.

Witcher III punishes 1060 already unless you got 1070 or higher and that's not running at 4K but 2556x1440 only. So this game will be a test and until a Pro model comes out to handle those specs Witcher III isn't going to happen here.

As long as it doesn't look like Ark on Switch...

We wont, but Id like to see the first or second game ported to Switch.

I played this game to death when it came out and it made my base model PS4 sound like it was going to explode. I don't think it'd ever happen for the Switch.

If we see ANY Witcher game it'd maybe be the first and/or second game, Gwent or maybe Thronebreaker.
