Yes, Monster Hunter Rise Is Running On Capcom's RE Engine

Well if they can't port the RE games, why not make new ones with the Switch in mind like they're doing with Rise.

Oh well, I still like the engine being on Switch

@PLATINUM7 i am with you on that suggestion.

I love RE games, and would love more on Switch. But I’m super happy and satisfied by just more Monster Hunter honestly.

RE7 was great, beat it 3 times to unlock everything - even Madhouse, which the Jack after Dinner chase and opening sequence were insane on MH. Haven’t gotten around to getting RE2&3 yet but I hear great things. Would love those on Switch if ever possible, but I’d also take straight ports of original RE2&3.

But I think something fresh, ala Revelations, made from ground up for Switch, would likely be better anyways. Revelations was made for 3DS and I enjoyed it more so than RE5 or 6. Possibly more than RE7 even.

@PLATINUM7 I’d happily have ports of the original 2&3 just to complete the set.

Didn't they say, The RE Engine is absolutely impossible to run on Switch (or something about that line)? 🤔

I'm just happy Capcom finally realized the Switch was worth making a new Monster Hunter specifically for. RE isn't really my kind of game, but I do hope the fans of those games get something nice next.

I'm fine with them not making any wonky ports of those games. More ground up Switch games like Rise is what we need from Capcom and other major devs.

Not that impressed with the graphics on Rise tbh

After years of them making virtually nothing for the Switch but PS3, PS2 and 3DS ports I'm finally happy seeing Capcom put work in and create something ground up. It's honestly refreshing seeing 2 promising exclusives in development at the same time which both look fantastic.

This is exactly what I had in mind when I was telling people how instead of port-begging we should be asking companies for making games for the Switch specifically. THIS is what I wanted, and I hope to see them utilize this engine to make more games for the Switch in the future. If not Monster Hunter, this would be a great time for an Okami game or a special Resident Evil game. Since I'm on the topic of Okami, I think it's also a missed opportunity for them not to add Okami as a skin for your mount in Rise as pre-order bonus, but whatever.

Let's hope the amount of sales they gain from Monster Hunter Rise and potentially even Stories (which I don't doubt will be gargantuan) shows Capcom that people really do appreciate effort put into games on the Switch. Perhaps it will show other companies this notion too. Square Enix has a very tiny team developing games for the Switch, in contrast Capcom seems to be handling this with a lot of manpower. Good on them, honestly. I can finally praise Capcom and feel good about it.

MH does look lovely on Switch. I wonder if this is one of the games that has been made with 4K in mind. Which could allude to the rumours of a new Switch.

@Ratking I don't think RE2 or RE7 were garbage per se. I enjoyed them both quite a bit, I did find them to be a little more on the bland side and at times it feels they played it very safe in some areas. After hearing continuous praise for Resident Evil 2 I had my expectations set up unnaturally high and did find myself a bit disappointed, but calling the games downright bad is a stretch in my opinion.

I think it would be cool for them to make original games for the Switch though, rather than seeing ports of PS1 and PS2 games. They've done plenty of those, maybe we should ask for a little more this time. Their ports were severely overpriced for ancient games and if they want my buck I think I want to see something completely new.

@MrBlacky I mean, a couple weeks back Microsoft came out and said there were no plans to have any other collaboration releases with Nintendo followed by the Ori director coming out and saying there are no current plans to port Ori and the Will of the Wisps to the Switch. I guess we're in an age where rumors are so far out there and common that big-name studios just come out and lie not to spoil the element of surprise. I actually like the fact that developers are contradicting rumors for this reason, I watched this Nintendo direct with 0 expectations and came out with a full smile.

@GrailUK Wouldn't surprise me.... the improved 3DS released around the same time MH4U released, and MH4U plus Xeno were the first games to take advantage of the increased power.

@Ratking the Resident Evil 2 remake is one of the best games I've played on PS4

This is exactly what I've been saying all along, instead of developers trying to squeeze their existing games onto the Switch, why not make new games from the ground up specifically for it? Capcom have been one of the best developers over the last few years for me and this just continues that trend. I've never played any of the Monster Hunter games but I'll be trying this one

Well massively heartbreaking regarding resident evil 7.

@Dm9982
RE2 is the perfect progression of the style originated in RE4. I was blown away. Probably the best remake I have ever played.

This game doesn't seem to run on current switch... These graphics are above than what my switch can do.

That's why this game looks so good. I'd say it could become one of the best looking games on Switch.

As others have said, if they can't bring over all the new ones, just give us the originals RE 2, 3 and Code Veronica with an HD filter. It would be nice to have all REs until 7 on Switch (even though I'll never buy 6 again).
And also give us more unique games like MH Stories! Another Zack & Wiki, perhaps? A new Okami or Viewtiful Joe?

@Dm9982 Holy (lot's of words that ban folk from websites)!! Never thought about Monolith's next game releasing around a system refresh! Erm, that thought made me giddy! Thanks.

@WhiteTrashGuy I'm with you there. I'll never understand why they don't follow that style with RE 8...

@Dm9982 Don't forget they also released Majora's Mask along with MH4 when the New 3DS came out. If they want to repeat that strategy, BotW 2 could be coming out on 26th March as well.

@PLATINUM7 Back in the day, if a game couldn't run on a platform, they would remake it from the ground up on an engine that is compatible. For example, the Saturn versions of Quake and Duke Nukem 3D. Or they would make slightly different games, like Mega Turrican on the Mega Drive/Genesis and Super Turrican on the SNES.

It would be amazing to have an exclusive Resident Evil game on the Switch. Or a port of RE7. It's a shame when it comes to developers bringing various games to other platforms like the Switch it feels like they're not as creative as they used to be.

That's great now give us our Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 please and I mean Switch version of these games, listen carefully Capcom, Switch versions, not ports of the PC games. Remember how there's a Game Boy Color, Sega Saturn, PS1, Nintendo DS, and GameCube versions of the first Resident Evil, yeah do it like that. Don't be lazy, you know how to make it with Switch in mind, if you don't then just hit the Panic Button.

@Reprise The time and cost involved in making HD games from the ground up is completely different to games development back in the Mega Drive/SNES days. For a 3D, HD game to break even financially you’d need to sell perhaps 1Million+ units, maybe more like 2 Million. These projects take big teams and lots of time, so it’s understandable that companies cannot create dozens of such games at once. It also explains why multi-platform engines and remakes are so much more attractive for games companies.

@kostasfil
I don't see anything graphically amazing enough in the trailer that it couldn't run 720p-900p in the average open world Switch game.

This isn't going to be a Switch Pro exclusive as anyone who can open the Eshop can see and Capcom isn't going to be risked being sued over the trailer graphics looking better than the version that the majority of players will see.

Not everything is a confirmation for the Switch Pro, despite what the conspiracy theorists have been saying when a new Switch game that looks slightly graphically impressive has been revealed since 2018.

@PLATINUM7
Probably because MH Rise will sell in milions on Switch on its own and RE games won’t

This game looks great. Make games with the Switch in mind, build it FOR the Switch, and we’ll get great looking, great games.

Resident evil revelations 3 confirmed! Haha 😁 On a serious note maybe this is nintendo giving us a sneak peak at a slightly boosted switch... Or I could be kidding again

@thiswaynow Oh I know that, but I still miss those days. It's always interesting to reminisce and look back at old ports and games, and the creative ways developers would get around console limitations. Digital Foundry do some great videos on that too.

Still, a Resident Evil game, made from the ground up for Switch, would sell like hot cakes. I don't see how it would be a financial risk, but what do I know? I don't work in the video games industry.

Did I watch a different trailer? I thought graphics looked quite bad. Hmmm I’ll have to watch it again.

@Reprise I agree, although I think the creative stuff often lives in the indie/eshop world these days... Small teams, small budgets, but lots of creativity.

@DonSerrot I feel it was the plan all along they just needed to time it’s release....
Grow the install base with MHW
Grow the install base with MHGU
Wait for iceborne to finish its cycle. So players have an urge to play
Announce a movie
Announce a new portable game

By the time new games are designed and built on the new engine the Switch is going to be really old.

Nice to finally see a MH game that doesn't look like a Wii game

What is also interesting is this could work like MHW in terms of G rank and monster selection. Meaning we might see a DLC type expansion similar to iceborne added later in the MHR life cycle to add more monsters, regions, rank.

I'm most looking forward to Monster Hunter Stories 2, because I personally couldn't take watching the "monsters" limp back to their nest, and rest, only to have their home invaded and be attacked there for the sake of having parts of their dead (or captured) bodies used to build gear to repeat that loop over and over with more and more majestic creatures. I have played the series for over a thousand hours combined in the past though, and I know "it's just a game", but they feel quite real, and a living creature is never just "game", not to me. The games eventually made me feel bad every time.
As for a RE game with the Switch in mind... It being such a successful system now, that would make a lot of sense, much like the 3ds's excellent Revelations that I still prefer on 3ds, but has since been ported to basically everything with buttons and a screen output.

Hopefully this means we eventually get RE Revelations 3/some RE game built for the Switch. Just glad Capcom is finally making two new games with the Switch in mind after Nintendo complied with their request to improve the Switch's RAM.

@Northwind hahahaha, couldn't have said better myself =XD

I'm more than happy with them just making MHR the best it can possibly be. If they get it running smoothly and looking decent,anything else is a bonus. I know it will consume my gaming time for most of next year. Unless BOTW2 happens as well of course 😏.

As someone who plays MHWI obviously this is a downgrade but for a Switch game it’s perfectly fine now the real question is are we farming for Decos or charms like the old times and does it has all the quality of life improvements from World because going back to the old gameplay it’s gonna be hard

Looks quite good for a Switch game. If a simplified version of the engine can run on Switch then surely simplified ports of the games mentioned are possible. Not RE8 though, but I'm getting a PS5 for that.

@Ratking bet you wouldn't be saying that if they were on Switch lol.

Definitely interested in a revelations 3 and multiple non asymmetrical outbreak games.

USFIV:AE please

fingers crossed it will be a good port. monster hunter ultimate was okay but already played it on 3ds

Ah, Monster Hunter is going to dominate 2021.

On the RE Engine, I'm betting Revelations 3 is eventually coming to Switch. RE 7 was not really Resident Evil.

I didn't think the graphics from the trailer were impressive at all. Hopefully some new content will change my mind but the environment looks barren and lo res

@Punisher67

I mean; it's a Switch game. I haven't been 'impressed' by graphics in a LONG time.

Until I'm playing something indistinguishable from a movie/show I won't be 'impressed'.

All people asked for was motion controls for resident evil 4 lol

Anything can be played on Switch as long as it's made for the Switch from the ground up. If done that way it would be a hell of a lot better than a port. But as usual the Switch is the red headed step child in developers minds no matter how much the Switch sells. Go figure.

What exactly is the RE engine? Is it similar to the Unreal Engines?

Crazy few years ago i was delusional for saying Capcom will release a original game on the Switch since they asked Nintendo to boost up the ram.
I remember people saying Capcom has moved on from the Switch already. I might not care about Monster Hunter. ( Stories looks good though.) But i know rise coming especially as a exclusive is a big deal.

I just want to know if the ammibos are really GameStop exclusive and if the collector's edition is GameStop exclusive too

@PLATINUM7 this. I’m not sure with the switch user base why third parties aren’t looking at switch only titles... like n64 and gamecube had tons of - game industry in many respects has gone backwards.

I’d love a new resident evil game. Recently finished revelations 1&2 on switch and now half way through 6 and I’m going to play. 5,4,1 and 0 next in some strange order of whatever takes my fancy.

Capcom did a GREAT job with this game, by the looks of it.

Hopefully we get a RE Revelations 3 or something that's designed from the ground up to run well on the Switch.

Having trouble porting your game to the switch? Give saber interactive a call

Resident Evil Revelations type of spin-off incoming 🤞

I'm no graphics nut by any stretch, but I think it is a stretch to call MH Rise's visuals "next gen". They're a step up over the 3DS games going by that trailer. I'm still hyped for it and it's going to be a day one purchase, but graphics (alone) never compelled me to buy any game and this is no different.

They sacrificed a lot in the graphics department and it still looks like the game will struggle with having many particles on fights. Hope we get a Switch 2 or Pro or whatever else cause game is struggling.

@Stocksy simple. Just look at Capcom Monster Hunter World, RE 2R, RE 7, SFV is now amongs their top 10 best selling games ever. Capcom just cannot not move more units with nintendo alone and 3rd party situation on switch is weird.

Best selling 3rd party games on switch is what? Mario+rabbits? Astral chains? Octopath traveler? All sold around 1~3 million. Meanwhile PC has steam, GoG and PS4 has sold over 1.5billion software commulatively.

This is truly great imo. I've loooong said it's a shame they don't reuse these game engines more often. This is a wonderful example of how to do it right. Another good one was when Capcom pulled off the impossible with " resident evil: revelations" on the 3ds by using a stripped down RE:5 engine. By doing so early on in the 3ds lifespan it raised the bar immensely at what was thought of as possible. Up to that point it was deemed impossible for something like RE: revelations to exist on 3ds hardware. Nice going on this Capcom! Show others how to do this stuff right.

If the media released so far aren't bullshots, then this could easily be the best looking game on the Switch.

Monster Hunter Rise looks sooooo good. It’s amazing how similar it looks to World given the portable hardware. And Monster Hunter Stories 2... wow! Not sure if it’s also running on RE Engine but, it looks phenomenal.

They were making Resident Evil Revelations 3 for Switch, but scrapped it and repurposed its material for RE Village. I’m confident they’re still making Resident Evil Revelations 3 though. Switch will get an exclusive Resident Evil at some point.

We also know DMC4 is coming, maybe even this year. Hopefully DMC reboot will follow.

For now, I’m just happy we’re getting a modern portable Monster Hunter. That’s literally all I’ve wanted for the last 3 years.

I never doubted that there would be a brand new MH on switch. This is going to sell like crazy in Japan and with the series gaining popularity in the west I think it will do well there too. I can't wait to play this. I've had a long enough break from MH. With Hyrule Warriors and now this, it's so nice to finally have some NEW games to look forward to!

I honestly think that the Breath-of-the-Wild-style graphics of Monster Hunter Stories would be also a perfect fit for a regular Monster Hunter entry. Such styles age really well.

I’ve got a long storied history of Monster Hunter games. I spent a lot of time in hospital circa 2007ish. I was into Pokemon and wanted that same feeling on something adjacent to what Nintendo stuff I owned. I picked up an early MH game. I never really got into it… too confusing and not fun. The same way that playing original Pokémon Red Blue is horribly unplayable by today’s standards.

Nay. Time passed and I amassed a collection of PSP MH titles. Never playing more than 30 mins in. Most my partner and I have played was the 3DS one that starts off in a desert.

I hope Rise is different and fun. It looks a lot more Breath of the Wild/YS 8-ish. I’m a sucker for Ys games too. surprised we haven’t seen Ys 7 on switch yet. It’s one of the PSPs finest. Remember picking that and Peace Walker up before a literal desert island holiday off the coast of Africa. At the time I had beaten Heart Gold and I so I picked up a copy of Soul Silver to beat also. I recall not playing a single game except on the flight over. The boat to the island resort I was too amazed to be playing games and the island itself was divine. Obvs that was years ago. Good times! Shame you can’t attach photos here. Then again kids would just post “me-mays”. Yuck. Annoying ducking things.

Yes Capcom, just give us Resident Evil Revelations 3 on Switch.
Then it can sell a couple of million there. And then you can remaster it for PS4/5, Xbox One/S series, PC etc. and sell a few millions there too.
It doesn't need state of the art graphics, just another good iteration of Raid mode to draw a lot of people in.

Never played a MH game, might just give this one a shot!

The RE Engine is becoming the most impressive engine I've ever seen! It seems to be super scalable, stable and produces some of the most photorealistic games in the industry! Rresident Evil VII and it's remakes and DMCV! Would adore seeing DMCV on Switch though!

• Okami 2 with RE Engine
• Megaman Legends 3 with RE Engine

Please Capcom ;_;

They can make 'Switch versions' of RE7, RE2ReM and RE3ReM with the modified RE engine and maybe even put more emphasis on gameplay innovation vs the graphical fidelity of the PS4/XB1 versions. I personally don't have to see literally every piece of rotten flesh of zombies to experience the horror.

@Punisher67 yeah it looks like really close to MH Ultimate Graphics in my opinion. Thought this was an upgraded version of the 3DS version tbh. The gameplay looks amazing and I'll definitely be purchasing anyway. Wish they added some upgraded graphics packs like for the Witcher 3

@Arkay bit of a learning curve but really addicting!

@Ratking I disagree completely. I still have my original Playstation releases of RE1, 2, and 3, and I went back and tried playing 2 & 3, then played the remakes. The remakes are not just good games, they are FAR superior to the original releases in every way, graphically, story, gameplay mechanics, ESPECIALLY controls. Nothing wrong with having your own opinion, I just feel differently.

Monster Game made from the ground up for switch >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> diet world port

@Varkster In what ways did they play it safe? I grew up playing the original Playstation releases and I absolutely love the remakes, just curious what disappointed you about them. I say sincerely though that there's nothing wrong with your opinion, I'm just genuinely curious what you didn't like about them.

@Phantasm333 Resident Evil 7 in particular had a strong start and a lot of areas to explore but later in the game you end up going through a really crappy ship segment with refurbished environments and enemies. There was little variety in the game and overall after I finished it I felt there wasn't much to do in the end-game. I did enjoy the DLC though as bonkers as some of it was and I ended up getting all of the achievements on steam.

Resident Evil 2 Remake looked great, had solid voice acting and game feel but after a while I ran into the same issue (near end of the game) where it didn't feel fresh anymore and everything felt, again, like assets were being reused with no variety and enemies were becoming more of a chore than a threat. I ended up not even finishing the Claire campaign for this game because I simply got bored.

I'll give you a comparison with one of my favourite games of all time - Half-Life. Half-Life reuses assets even moreso than the recent RE games throughout the entire runtime of the game (and Half-Life is quite long especially for a shooter) but they build these assets up in strong level design and situations which feel more like a puzzle rather than you just shredding through the same bullet sponges. Think Assassin's Creed or Skyrim vs Breath of the Wild, same concept.

Overall both games weren't bad but I didn't think they were amazing or games of the year as some have pointed out. It was also disheartening hearing from my friend that they cut out a ***** load of content from RE2 in the Remake which would have probably enhanced my overall enjoyment.

I'll be honest I enjoyed RE4 and 5 more than I enjoyed Remake 2. This may be an unpopular opinion but it's my opinion. A lot of reviewers out there gave RE2 praise simply because of how great it looks and plays especially in the first couple hours but nobody really talks about the generic backside of the game where you're going through the sewer and garden part of the lab.

As for RE3, I haven't even bought it because I heard it's a disaster and barely adds any content worth playing. If I had issues with asset re-use in the Remake for the 2nd game then I most definitely don't want to play Remake 3. Maybe when it goes on a really big sale (around $15)...

This gives me hope for a Dragon's Dogma 2 on switch. My dream of it being made was pretty much dead until it was rereleased for switch and the new Netflix series that just dropped. I'm hoping Capcom sees that IP has legs and decides to continue it.

Okay, if not RE2, 3 or 7, how about making a new (timely) exclusive Switch RE like with Revelations on 3DS? That would be nice.

Alright capcom hear me out... I know most of the team has gone on to make bayonetta 2 and the like, but seriously I'd love a viewtiful joe 3 to find its way out into the wild and maybe even touch base on the switch first.

@Varkster Thank you for being willing to have a discussion about your likes & dislikes about the game. It is very pleasant to have a normal, civil, mature, non-political discussion for a change. I thoroughly enjoyed not yelling at each other about issues that have little to do with me for once. I, too, LOVE the Half-Life games. Once you used that example I totally understood what you meant regarding asset redundancy in good puzzles. Even with repeating assets in-game it can still be very fun with proper usage.

The cloud version of RE7 worked very well and ran smoothly. Other cloud versions should be considered.

@Minish-Cap it's the resident evil engine used for the newest resi games. It's capcoms in house engine

@Kilamanjaro my only problem with the graphics in mhgenu was the fact that some of the armor looked like it was ripped straight from the 3ds. Just absolutely pixelated and bad. Gameplay was amazing, just I hated some of the armor looking like 3ds graphics stretched out on my switch screen.

@Burning_Bacon
Is the RE engine good graphics wise? The last Monster Hunter didn't look that different than the 3DS version. I am planning to get the game regardless. I already pre-ordered the deluxe edition of the Eshop. I am not familiar with the RE engine. Is on par with most Switch games or better?

@Minish-Cap it's what the resi 2 remake runs on, it just really depends on how flexible the engine is with the switch hardware. I'm sure this game will look better than gen u because it's not based on a 3ds version.

@Burning_Bacon yeah I feel you on that. Downloaded the MH Generations demo on Switch today & did a session on my 3DS on the full game. It really looks like it's using the same type of assets unfortunately

@Ratking lol okay dude.

@PLATINUM7 because mean ol' Sony scared them back in 2005. When RE4 was a Gcube exclusive Sony execs literally got on the phone screaming and yelling bloody murder at Capcom for not making it a PS2 exclusive. Ever since then Capcom has been really nervous about even doing spinoffs for a Nintendo system let alone mainstream entries. Remember 3DS got Revelations, and it was a phenomenal success. Then it was ported to the Sony and MS platforms. Revelations 2 came out straight to everything BUT Nintendo platforms and Capcom's excuse was poor sales. Lol So anytime an RE game hits a Nintendo platform and proves to be a success it puts more hurt on Sony. Sony won't allow that. Fact is they know that they don't stand a chance against Nintendo and that games like RE are one of the only reasons they have an advantage. Sony can only do one thing: make Nintendo look like it's for kids while appealing its own brand to mature audiences. Technology wise, Sony hasn't had any good ideas since the 50s! 🤣 So even if Capcom wanted to do a new RE for switch, it would be RE4/Gamecube Re: Revelations/3DS all over again.

@Tsuchinoko not before Sony drops hardware that can take full advantage of it before Nintendo can. Sony wants to maintain a death grip on every one of the mainstream Playstation series that made the PS classic a success, ie. Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid, GTA, etc. Because the PlayStation brand was literally built on these such titles (and a few others of course) Sony will do whatever it takes to prevent Nintendo from having any competitive opportunity, ESPECIALLY seeing as the Switch has already decimated their PS4 sales in Japan! 🤣

@Sanangelo89 too much time and effort, not enough ROI. They could easily 'source it out to Panic Button or Shiver Entertainment and have Nintendo foot the bill but Sony will do whatever it takes to make sure that's not even a topic for discussion.

I wonder if Monster Hunter Rise will stay a exclusive to Switch, or Sony/Microsoft is gonna demand for Capcom to cancel the release of Monster Hunter Rise on Switch and release istead on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One e PC, a lot of people din't react well that Switch is gonna have two exclusive Monster Hunter games.

@Jojarett87 yeah good points you make. But I do wonder what will happen with coming PS5, because it doesn't seem te be all that. Technologically it looks great but when it comes to pure gaming then I don't see why Its better then Switch or even PS4, besides loading times and frame rates.

@carlos82,

Total agreement with this, and there is a huge potential user base for the right games built from the ground up for the Switch hardware, but instead we get cutdown versions of triple AAA games that look like poor versions, that people who wanted the game will already own on the Xbox or Playstation.

@PLATINUM7 Honestly they could just redo all the assets with cell shading, make them look anime and it would still be just as amazing having the RE2/3 remakes. You can do some pretty cool things with cell shading and would not require all the dynamic lighting and shadows a realistic game uses.

@Toy_Link https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/09/talking_point_could_monster_hunter_rise_hint_at_new_switch_hardware_on_the_horizon

I'm cool with Switch getting its own RE game built specifically for the system, say Revelations 3, over dumbed down ports of PlayStation and Xbox games. A new Street Fighter game built ground up for Switch would be cool, too.

@Sanangelo89 agree. It really isn't. Back before the N64 was announced Ninty specifically said that they had plans to do things differently in the near future explaining that the current at that time trend was always upgrade the graphics and sound quality each generation and that eventually that would reach it's limit. Now we're seeing how correct they were as this next gen of consoles is pretty much the exact same thing just a different exterior look and name. Right now choosing between the PS5 vs XBX is just a matter of brand preference or exclusive content. A lot of ppl think that's the way it should be and I did too once but it's a horrible idea for at least 4 reasons I can think of! Lol but it's much easier (and cost effective/profitable) to win western audiences with "visuals" than it is to come up with creative ideas.

Yeah but I believe the west also starts to care less about 'better visuals'.

Nintendo only needs to tweak a few things for the next Switch and fix the online, maybe a bit more power, but that's it. They kinda won with the 'hybrid concept', i believe that will save console gaming (in the future) and will be cloud gaming's main competition (the physical/digital VS cloud/connection)
