@progx Yeah it runs Village but it isn't great on there plus all those games mentioned are cross gen as the OG PS4 has them. The games i mentioned are current gen only very demanding games with two of them running on U5, ARK would melt the phone haha. I can't imagine Avatar running on a phone at all as well and i highly doubt Cyberpunk would either.
@eltomo They know enough to have an idea on how powerful a Switch 2 will be. The Switch 2 will be weaker then the Series S why? Because a portable Series S would murder the battery life and cost a fortune and once you factor in SSD's the price shoots up even more. Look at Steam Deck and others like it they're only really around PS4 and One X levels and that's because they have to be for good battery life and so they can be sold at a reasonable price.
Well yeah, the Switch 2 will mostly likely be what Steam Deck levels? Nah GTA 6 will be pushing the PS5 and especially the Series S hard so a Switch 2 stands no chance.
That was a great wholesome trailer. Nice to see Legendaries making a return though at this point i already have them all in multiples, hopefully we see more Mythicals included that didn't make the Gen 8 line up. What i'm hoping though is they done what they did with the S&S DLC and add a stack of new Legendaries.
@Sculptor and Hogwarts is a shell of its true self on Switch, to get it running on Switch they had to completely gimp the open world and add a ton of loading screens. AK may run worse but let's not pretend Hogwarts is a good port either.
@kalosn Arkham Knight is is one of the most graphically dense games out there and even now it holds up very well. The issue with the TW3 is its on the Red Engine an engine designed for PC and a engine that was fairly buggy but by the time TW3 was ported to Switch a lot of the issues with the engine were sorted. Unreal though doesn't like open words and Unreal doesn't like Switch hence why AK is more demanding, AK stood no chance on Switch.
@Bratwurst35 Because all WB care about is money, its easier to take a chance on Batman then Green Lantern and unlike Marvel they can't fallback on a popular film character to generate hype, Batman sells and its actually quite shocking its been nearly 9 years since his last proper outing in gaming. Anyway Suicide Squad is out next year, we had Gotham Knights last year and Wonder Woman is coming at some point and none of these games have Bats as a playable character or a main character.
@kalosn Arkham Knight is more demanding then TW3 and more graphically advanced hence why TW3 is starting to show its age while Arkham Knight outclasses both Suicide Squad and Gotham Knight and can hold its own against many current gem games.
Switch owners really to understand just because TW3 was ported doesn't mean every game can be, TW3 is not the "can it Crysis" game Switch owners think it is. Its biggest hurdle was the open world and if you can solve the open world problem (a world mind you mostly contained of towns, trees and seas) then the rest of the game won't be too much of an hassle.
@LikelySatan Superman is far from boring and Batman has hardly been done to death, i mean come on Spider-Man has had more games then Batman. End of the day Batman sells hence why he's never going away, DC/WB don't care what a small minority think.
@Fangleman32 Batman hasn't had a game in 8 years and Superman hasn't had a game since Superman Returns a game so old its on PS2 plus Supes has never had a good game and is crying out for one. That said i want a open world Flash game more then any other.
@Link-Hero I know its improved i was just saying the console versions were really well done and were better then the PC version at launch. Here's hoping a 60fps update drops for them this month so we can play at 60fps on PS5 and SX.
@AmplifyMJ Yeah they're quite happy to review games from Publishers who straight up abuse and rape their staff then sack them but draw the line with a game JK was never even involved with.
@LadyCharlie Honestly there is no best version. The PS4 version has exclusive DLC and is the best console version, Switch has timed a timed Pattinson skin plus portable play while PC has the best visuals (now that its fixed).
Too bad Knight is looking pretty damn rough on Switch. Might buy Arkham City for some portable open world Batman but i think shell stick with my PS4 version of Knight if i want to play that.
@theoryofeverywhere "barely even scratched the surface of Ultrahand. It is just so big and has so many possibilities" Ultrahand comment aside this could be used to describe BG3. To be clear i think both TotK and BG3 are pretty much equal but there's something about BG3 that just puts ahead of everything else for me, its a game where you think you done everything only to find out you missed huge chunks of the map or a companion or god knows how many quests. Its a game where the ways of doing many of the questlines feel endless and its a game where a simple sounding quest turns into something far bigger. It also contains some of the best written and best acted characters in gaming who you can't help but fall in love with and miss when you're not playing. Its also pretty damn funny as well with a wicked sense of humour at times. TotK is incredible though and its very much worthy of winning, i'm just happy 2023 contains games of this level.
@Yoshif3 "back to form" You TotK haters really are funny. TotK is the 2nd best selling Zelda game, has universal acclaim and just won best Nintendo game of the year so sorry dude Nintendo don't give two sh#ts what a very small minority think.
Yeah its a well deserved win for Baldur's Gate 3 as its incredible and my GOTY as well. TotK is a close 2nd though and if it had won GOTY i would have been still happy.
@GooseLoose1 Skyward Sword was loved by critics but its only in recent time fans have started to warm to it more. End of the day Breath of the Wild came after and i do think the reception to SS all around plus sales led to the massive shift in formula
@Arawn93 "(which is peak irony when the original Zelda game was never like OoT either)"
Yeah they forgot the original Zelda game is pretty much the prototype for BotW and hell even OoT toys with the full open world idea at times. BotW/TotK was inevitable since the very first Zelda game.
@-wc- If a "traditional" Zelda released on Switch i can bet it wouldn't be anywhere near the numbers of the open world games.
People forget that Skyward Sword had a fairly bad rep, its a great game taking on its own but its formula had grown stale and it was a fairly disliked entry. BOTW breathed new life into an aged series and TOTK despite what some on here want to think perfected what BOTW started. Fans can moan all they want but the sales talk and Nintendo will listen to that instead of some grumpy old school fans longing for a stale formula they previous moaned Skyward Sword for having.
@Vyacheslav333 Why would i play on easy? I want some kind of challenge.
I play the MK1 story mode once, dabble in the lackluster Invansion mode and then put 100's of hours into Kombat League why? Because i want the challenge, i want the thrill of interacting with a real person and not a predictable AI, i want that rush of a good game where both of us are so close to beating each other where every blow and combo matters.
Yes fighters having loads of single player content is fantastic but the playerbase will always side with things that are MP focused first because its where the majority of their time is spent with the games. Finally your idea of single player "content" doesn't sound exciting, a 30 hour visual novel with a small handful of boring fights is not really content and i wouldn't even class that as a real fighting game. Don't get me wrong if you like that sort of thing then more power to you but there's a reason NRS prefer a 6-7 cinematic story over 30 hours of text and pretty artwork and its because most players would hardly touch it.
@Vyacheslav333 Why? The idea of MP is rooted in the design, fighting a broken AI that reads your inputs just isn't what the majority want in a fighting game and we should be thankful NRS even bother to offer a single player side.
@blindsquarel Well the reason for that is games run way way faster off a SSD/HDD then a very slow Blu Ray disc. Wouldn't be shocked if the Switch 2 also requires installs as well.
@Edu23XWiiU Interesting you say that when pretty much everyone agrees whose read The Boys that the show improves on it in every way including Homelander. Also no they aren't bad versions of evil Supes but i can see you want to think the opposite to everyone else 🙄🤷♂️

@HotGoomba Barely run on PS4? It pretty much sticks to the 30fps and looks gorgeous at it, the PC version was the one that had issues not PS4 or X1.
