Switch Port Specialist Feral Interactive Teases Another Two Games

One of them is definitely is Hitman Absolution. The game features plenty of pool tables and the words "Now you've got to play the part" is from a 1984 song "I want to be a clone". Agent 47 is a clone.

Other one has dolphins and the words "Over Our Heads" is a song by Keith Morris's band OFF. It's about skydiving. Out of Feral's mac portfolio, only games to feature skydiving are Just Cause games. In Just Cause 2 you can skydive right into ocean but I'm not sure if the ocean has dolphins. It did have whales, though.

Don't forget, Feral only ports games to Switch from their Mac portfolio. You can find it on their wikipedia page (though it has some missing titles).

@9-Volt Lara Croft collection isn’t part of Feral’s Mac portfolio, and has never come to Mac at all. They did port a few of the mainline Tomb Raider games however.

@9-Volt
You made a full Sherlock! You have my respect. 😁🙏☀️

Their next port will be Sonic Dash for the 3DS eShop.

You can trust me because I know nobody who works at Feral Interactive.

@9-Volt
I would love just cause 2 with all dlcs i would dip it again going for 100% destroying all bases and infrastructure was very fun

“Switch port specialist” erm…..that lara croft game runs at 30fps whereas on other platforms it doesnt have that problem.

I hope that some company will port the Tomb Raider reboot collection to the Switch.

@Ironcore

And Grid Autosport and Alien Isolation are brilliant ports with Isolation looking better than PS4 and Xbox One ports and Grid looking better than its PS3 and 360 equivalent.

I’ll look forward to these, as Feral have done great ports so far to switch

@Ainze Yeah wrong wording, I should have said series instead of games.

Because they have only ported Just Cause 1 and none of the other JC games.

And I just noticed, they replied one tweet asking if the dolphins are Atlantic (Just Cause 1) or pacific (Just Cause 2). They said they are Mediterranean/African (Just Cause 3). Haven't played JC3 but i don't remember JC2 having dolphins.

Interesting. I imagine if it's really Hitman and Just Cause as some are expecting, it's going to be cloud though.

@mlt No. A port is literally taking the game and making it run natively on different hardware.

I can’t wait to see what they have next for Switch.

I have no idea. I'm going to guess Deus Ex.

@mlt
Feral never have made cloud games they only do native ports

Deus Ex or Sleeping Dogs would be nice.

That's nice of you Feral, you do good work, but do you think you could see your way to a physical release of these games? You've ported a number of games to Switch now that fill gaps in the Switch library and don't really have any direct competition, but as far as I'm aware the only physical availability has been the recent Limited Run on Alien: Isolation, so you're not maximizing the opportunities.

I see dolphins, my mind immediately jumps to Endless Ocean! xD
Bring back that Wii gem!

Would like Feral to port either the Keeley Hawes TR trilogy (Legend/Anniversary/Underworld) or the reboot trilogy... but doubtful it'll happen this far into the Switch's life....
Then again we have Arkham collection coming soon, which everyone expecting to show up like 5 years ago on Switch xD

@Ironcore 30 fps is a problem for that game? Why?

@9-Volt
Oh my god. if its JC3 I would play the ever loving S#1T out of that game, one of my favourites, I love JC2 also but JC3 would be- I would never need another switch game. Cancel Mario Wonder and RPG, don't need em, me and Rico will be busy blowing stuff up with our wingsuit

Pay no attention to @Ironcore
Literally all he does is complain about 30fps.

This has nothing to do with them…
But someone please just re release time splitters 2 & 3

@Arkay People accepting it is why we are in this mess in the first place.
@friendly Stuttering, ghosting, flickering, general nausea inducing movements. 30 is fine for something like a chess game etc where there is very little to no movement but for everything else its gamebreaking. Go fire up animal crossing and walk left/right, notice how everything doubles/triples while you move and then goes back to normal when you stop. AC would have been a gorgeous game had it run smoothly.

@HotGoomba I think I liked the old pfp better.

@Ironcore bro 30fps is FINE. No need to be an extremist.

@Not_Soos I'll go back to it eventually.

Or will I?

@Arkay It's not fine and accepting it imo is more extreme than not accepting it.
Not a single person would ever look at a game running at 30 and 60 and say the one at 30 looks better.
Given the option if you could run your games at 60 with no trade offs are you telling me you would let them run at 30?

@Ironcore the reasoning you’re giving is off. It’s not that 60 is not better, it’s that 30 is fine in most cases. Consistent 30 fps is way better than inconsistent 60. Even first party games on current gen hardware is 30 fps some of the time. Flickering and ghosting is often not due to 30 fps. Maybe check your monitor specs too to see if it is up to snuff. And maybe consider a monitor with variable refresh rate.

They done some really good work with GRID and Alien Isolation. I'm guessing Deus Ex as well.

@9-Volt Wow. Nice one.

@Ironcore what @Friendly said.
If I have a game running consistently at 30fps I'm more than happy. I literally don't even care if it occasionally dips as long as it performs smoothly most of the time.

@mlt Feral doesn't do cloud games. The studio is well known for their native Switch ports.

@AG_Awesome The closest you can get is an Xbone or Series X|S and download the digital BWC versions. They run beautifully.

I'd love to see the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy! I hope it's that! Not a big fan of Just Cause or Hitman personally, but based on the detective work being done, it sounds like it's probably one of both of those.

The latter hint can also be Company of Heroes 2. Apparently it had a charity DLC for the dolphins and whales.

Honestly, I hope it isn't the case. CoH plays pretty badly on iPad, I can't imagine how worse the sequel would be on Switch.

@Ainze Feral did the rebooted Tomb Raider trilogy games for the Mac. Aspyr did the original “mainline” titles before Square Enix purchased Eidos Interactive. Tomb Raider II was a Big Mac gaming announcement in the late 1990, plus it established Aspyr as a big player just as Interplay shuttered MacPlay.

@9-volt that isn’t true. They’ve ported other games to the Switch that haven’t seen a Mac release, the likewise is true with the inverse too.

@progx Also Anniversary and Underworld.

@Ainze Feral did Anniversary, Underworld was the last one Aspyr did.

@progx Underworld was Feral. I worked on that port.
