"Lightning-Fast" Action-FPS Bright Memory: Infinite Is Coming To Nintendo Switch

THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT! Need more games like this on the switch. Good on you developers! If it runs decently I’m ALL the way in.

I like how the developer said it isn’t a cloud version out loud.

“The Nintendo Switch version, which runs natively on hardware and not through cloud”.

This looks cool though. I will wait for reviews and if it runs well on Switch.

As a person that loathes FPS games I think this is great. More games for everyone. Perhaps if smaller games build an FPS base then FPS fans will get some of the bigger titles on Switch.

Lol I might buy this just for the gimmick.

"There sure were a lot of shooty-type games at Not-E3 this year..."

I thought it was just me but that was very noticeable this year.

Anyway, this actually does look interesting.

Huh? So a game they apparently couldn't bring to previous gen consoles is now coming to Switch? This is bizarre. It's fantastic news, but very puzzling. I wonder what compromises they had to make, and if this will ultimately end up on PS4 and the Xbox One.

This reminds me of Conduit, Red Steel 2, Destiny, and CoD all in the best ways. I rarely play FPS these days, but this one looks promising!

Definitely worth a buy just for the fact that it's actually running on actual hardware.

This is going to live or die by it's gameplay. If it's as fluid as it looks, then i'll keep an eye on it.

@Thaliard You know the reason they are not bringing this to last gen consoles is because those audience move on to Xbox Series and PS5. Specs is not the issue here.

Probably the most interesting looking shooter revealed over the past week, and it wasn't even in any of the main presentations as far as I'm aware.

I will absolutely be buying this

@Serpenterror I always assumed that they made it current gen only because it's a very small team and they would have to compromise too much to make it run on last gen. Bright Memory is buttery smooth on Series X and looks fantastic given the size of the dev. I can't imagine that they're getting it on Switch without some serious compromises. It seems like it's still lucrative to develop for PS4/XO due to the scarcity of consoles/ubiquity of last gen in households and you're potentially leaving a nice chunk of money on the table if you're already willing to compromise to get it on the Switch.

I thought people didn't like this game. I never tried it because I don't have a gaming PC, but it seems like I heard that the gameplay wasn't quite like what was shown in the trailer.

Either way, I'll give it a shot.

@TheJamesHollan
I played Bright Memory on Series X and think it's pretty good. Looking forward to this update. Only criticism I'd have, if I can really even call it that since I like what's there, is the game is very short.

It seems like scaling down and optimising a game like this for Switch is a lot more work than just bumping down a few graphics settings, so I appreciate those who put in the effort. Even if it's only 720p 30 with worse textures/shadows/reflections, I'd still rather have that than be completely locked out like we are with most realistic action games.

The plot of the original Bright Memory made absolutely no sense. It was like watching a bad anime with some episodes missing and episodes from a different series mixed in. Overly earnest dialogue, skimpy outfits but also some genuinely cool ideas, but not even remotely connected to one another.

That said, the gameplay was a lot of fun. Once you maxed your abilities you had some interesting moves at your disposal. Oh, and the fire rate on that automatic shotgun is insane for all the right reasons.

This should be fun for those who want fun gameplay and don't mind if the plot is nonsensical.

@Gamer83 yeah, I just now watched IGN's review of the game - where they gave it a 6 out of 10 - and they said it could be finished in about an hour and a half lol.

Can't wait to get this! Hope it gets a physical version like Severed Steel is.. maybe LRG could make it happen 😁

@Thaliard To be fair there was a mobile version of the original game back in 2020

@RR529 One guy made it also. GmanLives did a review of it last year on Youtube.

@IronMan30 I watched it with friends, and MULTIPLE times I would start saying that a game looked interesting... before it instantly became another shooter that looked like all the others

@KateGray I mean, are you a fan of modern or retro FPS games in general?

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

This and the previous game are on PC all graphics and super little gameplay, you can casually finish both games in 4 hours if you suck at FPS games.

That is roughly 2 hour per game and this is 1 of the 2 games.

@Rayquaza2510 I'm pretty sure the first one at least was one of those one man team kind of projects, so that's not too surprising. Not sure about the second. Either way, might still be worth it depending on the price tag. Some of my favorite games on Switch can probably be beaten in under an hour.

@KateGray tbh, the one from the Rick and Morty creator looked fun. But yes, most were bland, imo.

IT'S RED STEAL what it's not owwww welll

@JustMonika No kidding? A Switch port makes a ton of sense if there's an ARM version out there already. Never mind!

This looks intriguing, even though I generally dislike shooting things. Guns are so cruel (

@Rayquaza2510 I'll buy it twice if a physical copy comes again. I think supporting one man projects is a good thing so we can get even better games in the future.

@TheJamesHollan
That's about right. It took me a few hours but...
1. I suck at games eventhough I play them a lot.
2. I explore everything even in games where there isn't much to look for.

Brothers and sisters, pray for this company. FPS games only sold 12,000 copies total last year for all systems combined. I worry for the longevity of this company in these dark times.

simple I like it just like Ultra age

Yes! Just YES!!! Gonna have to have this.

@JustMonika I fully agree with supporting one man projects, but not every one man project is the same.

This game falls under the "think twice about support" project, there are many better one man projects out there than this, because creating a good game is a difficult thing, especially if doing it alone, but creating a "meh" game and slapping some insane graphics on top (this game looks great with Ray Tracing on PC) is another, that is many times easier.

The first game was more of a tech demo, the dev promised the next game (this is that next game) to be a full game yet that too is mostly a tech demo, nothing wrong there but the game lacks in content a lot, it is purely graphics above all.

And yes that 1,5 hour was a fine time waster... but for €16,79 the game does cost (game was gifted to me) I have my doubts it is even worth that amount, and I am sure that on consoles the price will be higher too.

I give this dev another chance when the 3rd game comes out, but if that is again another "€16,79 for a 1,5 hour long tech demo" then I would advice people to not get it, unless on heavy sale.

On a huge sale for under €5 then sure get it, but the game also doesn't have any replay value some other short games DO HAVE, so after that 1,5 hour you are really done.

@Anachronism A lot of fun games I know and like are also under 1 hour, but they often have replay value the previous Bright Memory and this newer one lack.

This game mostly exist for it's graphics (on PC) and not really for the story, as of today with all the tools available anybody can create a amazing looking game or a mod, even alone.

But creating a good game, and if short one with replay value is a different story.

And the 2 Bright Memory games fail on that regard, and like I said above in this comment a good game can certainly be made by one person, but this is not that kind of game and not every game deserves to be supported just because "one person made it".

@russell-marlow not usually, but I can be won over if it's an interesting spin on the genre!

@Gamer83 I'm pretty much the same way. I don't usually mess with the sensitivity settings on my controls, so whenever I play a shooter my aim is all over the place lol

@I_Go_by_Many_Names As someone who doesn't have a lot of free time you just sold me lol. I wish more games were shorter 😁

@KateGray So I guess you're more of a fan of puzzle action FPS games like Portal, Mirror's Edge, and the Metroid Prime games?

I understand, I guess the FPS genre has been getting a bit derivative in recent years, but at least we have the classics and the unique genre mash-up games.
