Do you guys ever wonder why Hellblade never goes on sale? I haven't seen it on any sale in like 2 years.

I will pass it on to my niece. She will be 9 next year and she loves to play Animal Crossing whenever she visits us.

Even though I often play games on the Series S, these words make me feel uneasy.

I hope Nintendo never gets bought. One giant company to rule the whole industry would be bad for consumers.

It is okay. They should release it on Switch's successor.

It is more on par with Red Dead Revolver.

It has been my dream since the days of PSP to have Hitman on the go. It is like a dream come true. Though I wish, they had also given us Absolution. Yes, it is not much loved. But just because...

With AC Mirage and Alan Wake 2 coming this month, their decision to release trilogy in December serves my wallet well.

May not be important for Gavin Lane. But for those who have build up a digital library of 100 games, who are selective with what they buy, who save up to be able to buy, backwards compatibility would be crucial.

@JustMonika So would I. But Shadow of the Tomb Raider will prove way too demanding to convert.

I was under the impression that Microsoft has almost clenched it.

It was a good game. Enjoyed my time with it. Glad Rocket League is still here. Lots of fun, that game!

Would have been surprised if it wasn't Leon.

The modern APUs like those of AMD and iGPUs like intel's UHD along with 8 GB of ram barely run Warzone above 30 fps. If current Switch ever receives MWII or Warzone, it will be running on 360p render resolution at 30 fps.

A third-person ARPG like The Division! Definitely buying this.

I hope it's better than the Arcadia Bay collection.

Edit: in terms of graphics on the Switch, I mean.

But will they be able to overtake PS2 which has a record of 158 million sales? Metroid Prime 4 and Tears of the Kingdom may help boost sales. Though we are talking about 38 million more.

I am just gonna rant about how the Walking Dead series almost never goes on sale on the US eshop.

I'd have liked these:

1. Sleeping Dogs (compared to GTA V it should be doable. Though commercial prospects of the game might be low.)
2. TR 2013 and Rise of the Tomb Raider should be possible. (Shadow would be a huge challenge, so won't count on that.)
3. Hitman Blood Money and Absolution (not sure whether devs would want to port but...)
4. Fallout 3 and New Vegas (since Microsoft has been quite generous to Nintendo and want their support with their take on Sony)
5. Mass Effect Legendary Edition (fat chance, EA was never very hot on Switch.
6. Dark Souls 2 & 3. (But remember DS3 is GPU-heavy when we compare it to Witcher 3)

Just wishing out loud. May not see any of these.

So we won't see a new Nintendo console even in 2023! Well, we will see a few good games then. And not only the first party, I hope.

That's awesome considering how difficult it is to optimize Unreal Engine 4 games on the Switch hardware.

Unreal Engine 4 games have a habit of not running very well but really happy to see this one arriving on the Switch.
I wish DS2 and DS3 arrive on Switch before Nintendo announces Switch's successor.

Do Sniper Elite 4, Hellblade, and Firewatch ever go on sale in any region? I am on a fixed budget and can't afford the full price.

AC games are good. But Far Cry 3 & 4 on Switch would be awesome.

Looks awesome! Clearly buying this one.

That was a pleasant surprise. Epic people at Panic Button!

@NinChocolate In no way I am justifying Russians or denigrating Ukrainians.

But you need to see Bandera Readings, where C14 (Neo-nazi) leader Evegeniy Karas proudly speaks about how effective they had been in Euromaidan demonstrations.
I'd quote his words: "If not for us the whole event would have turned into Gay Parade". Also, C14 had been carrying out pogroms against Romani until these very recent years.

To Op: This comment is supposed to add/rectify to the facts around which the current tragic war revolves. No offense intended.

Subpar release of overly entitled developers...

And here I am, still waiting for another patch.

Glad we are are getting this. Would be even more happier if there were Far Cry 3 and 4.

Lots of respect for Saber and Crytek! They actually value Switch community.

@vio You may want to wait a little more. They'd probably release another patch before Xmas. It's definitely not unplayable of now but it is clearly not enjoyable... especially San Andreas. You get 4 stars of heat and frame rate begins to take frequent dips, draw distance goes bad. It feels like you are playing a beta version of the game.

Please note that there is nothing specifically for Switch yet. They are still General, only fix prominent bugs. Frame rate, in SA at least, is still fluctuating between extremes.

GTA trilogy update is also live if somebody's interested.

Traffic density in SA is so low. Sometimes you feel like you have the whole town to yourself.
Still, a tiny bit of increase in Resolution and stable fps will be much appreciated.

@Ristar24 Thanks for confirming. So nothing for Switch yet. What a joke!

@TheSwitcher Precisely. And if you check at other sites, they don't mention Nintendo Switch except that one note related to Vice City language thing. They don't mention Switch even in general updates across all versions.

Wait a minute. As I recall when I downloaded the game day 1, it was already on 1.02. GTAIII at least!

Okay. There are few bugs whose whereabouts I know. Let's see if they are still there.

Let's hope that Nintendo Switch version gets proper updates and doesn't get treated like an afterthought.

This is a fun game. Considering the Switch's wifi capability it is a good decision IMO. Otherwise you would get shot through the head before even lifting the gun.

@WhiteTrashGuy Same. I have been waiting and waiting to buy Hellblade and Firewatch. Haven't seen any of these on sale in a year.

@icomma Wrong. I have Gta 3, VC and SA on Vita. 3 and VC were actually reverse engineered by a team, can't recall the exact name, whose work was removed by 2k's crackdown on modders. Playing on Vita requires to purchase steam version. SA is the Android Gta which required to write some kind of loader for Vita written by scene veteran theflow.

Everyone is trying to outdo Cyberpunk 2077 these days.

In answer to the question, how we have found, I'd say it's alright. Nothing too fancy, nor too drastic.

Bought the trilogy day one. Played only a few missions on all.

1. Pop-ins are clearly an issue.
2. Sometimes stationary objects are rendered a bit late.
3. Speeding is difficult because vehicles in traffic go from 0 opacity to 100 in a second, affecting both gameplay and immersion.
4. Road textures could be completely bland just giving off a color rather than asphalt look.
5. Muddy looks on NPCS, trees, some not very far buildings affect the aesthetics.
6. NPCS and Vehicles' shadows which should form underneath disappear in the evening and stay so until 8:30 in the morning. Yes, you can actually clock it.
7. Even standing against light source in the night doesn't produce any shadow.
8. Noted very few bugs owing to the time I could spend. Car doors opening through your character, getting sunk knees down in the sidewalk are frequent ones.
9. Foliage is clearly updated. But grass blades sticking out in other versions, aesthetically important for me at least, have been completely cropped.
10. Framerate is very unstable.
11. Resolution is trashy in docked but bearable in handheld.

The game has been scaled down just to run on the Switch as opposed to being optimized for the best possible experience on Switch. Saints Row 3 looks crispier on the this console. I'd still say 6.5/10 not 4. But then I have hardly given an hour to each game.

Regardless, no one has uploaded the Switch gameplay footage yet.

It will be unprecedented to take the same Switch hardware five further years; Oled or LCD. They will launch another model in/by 2023 for sure.

@tka060681 Precisely why I thought it might be possible. Let's hope!

I have a dream that one day Switch will see a port of MGS V.

Just the dynamic shadows, ambient occlusion, texture quality, and reflections have been reduced, the rest is just fine.

GTA trilogy! Switch badly needed a GTA game I think. It's finally here. So, Yahoo!
