I have made some adjustments there and although it is somewhat better,it does not remedy the actual problem. Maybe I am spoiled,Idk,but for this game in particular it just doesn't feel right.
@Jaredfrogman
What you say can only be true if playing on a TV with high latency (which is the majority of them). There is no excuse for the same to occur when in handheld mode. In this case, there is something not right with the game itself.
P. S If you want to put this to the test, try connecting your PS4 to a decent PC monitor, if you have one available and see if you can spot the difference.
Input lag has nothing to do with framerate. The game can be a flawless 60fps( I am not sure if it is though) but with input lag being present a movement or button press doesn't translate to an instant action as it should.
Performance is not flawless at all. There is noticeable input lag compared to what I'm used to playing on PC for so long. Any improvements on image quality would be welcome, but how the game feels is most important.
@audiobrainiac It does look awesome. That is why people were exited for it and the fact that it is the spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie from some of the people involved in the original games.
I know that value is subjective. I don't expect any game developers to adapt their prices to my taste. I am expressing a personal opinion here. Why are you so touchy to a man's personal opinion?
@roadrunner343 You are probably right.It would require internet for use outside of a home network.It would be interesting to see how well would it work via wifi,even at home.Steam Link ( a device connected to a TV used for PC games streaming) recommends an ethernet connection for optimal results.
Didn't finish it on WiiU either, but loved it and I am a bit tempted to double dip. At the same time though, double dipping is a habit that I am trying to break (with maybe a few exceptions)!
Many would think that an app like this would cannibalize Nintendo 's own game sales, but it just might work in its advantage. It's not practical for use outside of a fast, steady connection, which is mainly at home. Thus, it can give the Switch buyers yet another reason to get one.
@TwoTribes Maybe we can tempt you to stick around a while longer? Anyway, thank you for what you have given us and good luck to any of your future endeavors!
Didn't initially intended to buy at launch, too many expensive purchases close to each other on the Switch, but the price plus what I've played on the WiiU demo was hard to pass!
@Gravedigga13 I know the game, played it for a while on PS3, got the complete edition on Steam and sits on my backlog. I want to know the specifics of the Switch version. I already decided not to get Skyrim, have played it for hundreds of hours on Steam as well. All of you that get this in the Switch, enjoy!
Doom physical,L.A Noire physical and Rocket League. Have all of those in other platforms but can't resist the portability. Rocket League is a dream came true and I have high hopes of L.A Noire.
I played it on a monster PC and had a great time. But I will definitely double dip, because I want to support such moves from big publishers. Also, Doom on a handheld, how cool is that?!?
@SLIGEACH_EIRE One of the few times that I absolutely agree you. We are talking about a product that reviewers should inform readers about its quality. This is an aged game, albeit a good one, not a remaster - it could be justified as one, where they didn't even make the minimum effort to make it on par with modern standards. The price for this is ridiculous.
Nintendo assumes that everyone has a smartphone, so they made that mandatory to voice chat. I would rather use my smartphone to play Hearthstone and my Switch to voice chat and not the other way around.
This was a debate from the beginning of the 3DS's life. I have always liked the stereoscopic function of the console, I was an early adopter of it and I was blown away by it playing Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars when it launched.
Battlefield 1 and Overwatch on my PC, Fifa 18,Golf Story, Tumblestone on Switch. I am waiting for the review of The Flame in the Flood to decide if I should get it.
Some people never bothered with the WiiU and they may not even know if a certain game is a port or a new game. That game may also be superior or inferior to the original, so it makes sense to review it again.
@Si2k78 If the money is there, they will follow. I get the impression that there is a more mature - with disposable income - audience this time around. Time will tell.
Some PS4 Fifa owners saw me playing Fifa on Switch in handheld. Their comments were that it looks and plays really good, not something like "it looks inferior than PS4". It is obviously inferior graphically, but not immensely and it is still impressive for such a small device.
The Switch is popular right now, for reasons outside its power. People who are interested in it know what they are getting. I bought Fifa and I am really happy with it. Nintendo has done a very good job communicating the system's strengths and made the right choises to address ease of development and multiple game engines support. As stated, the most obvious and unfortunate weakness is its online adaptation.
A shame, cause it is a really good game. Seems portability is not a selling point for UK gamers. Lets see how it fairs in other countries, France mainly cause of the popularity of both Switch and football. Too bad "soccer" is not so popular in the US, it could have saved the day.
I would happily pay 20€ to buy this again. If only there was a WiiU buyers reward program or something, they could make some money that they are not going to make from people like me who already own the game.

Probably, but we got Doom out of nowhere, so why not? There are news of Wasteland 2 coming as well.

Maybe get ambitious and ask for a Divinity Original Sin 2 port?
Re: Video: Here Are The 21 Best Switch Games Money Can Buy Right Now

Re: SteamWorld Heist: Ultimate Edition Storms onto Nintendo Switch This Year
As much as I loved it, I won't be double dipping at that price. Instead, I'll double dip with Enter the Gungeon!

No, no, this is a genuine question. I want to know what you think of it.
Re: Video: Yooka Laylee Runs Surprisingly Well on Switch Compared to the Xbox One Version
@ThanosReXXX
Have you played the game in any platform? Did you like it? Do you think it is worth the asking price?
Re: Video: Yooka Laylee Runs Surprisingly Well on Switch Compared to the Xbox One Version
@Switch_will_fail
What makes you think that the Switch will fail, so much so that you have it as a nickname?
Re: Video: Yooka Laylee Runs Surprisingly Well on Switch Compared to the Xbox One Version
@ThanosReXXX
So we are at a junction where we are supposed to pay more for optimization? Also, the game is boring and that can't change.
Re: Rainway Team Says Talks With Nintendo Over Switch Version Are "Working Out Well"

One can only hope! Nintendo did streaming right, that was the whole concept of the Wii U gamepad.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Has Embraced DLC, But Must Resist The Worst Industry Norms
DLC is welcome if it is not content cut from the main game. So far Nintendo delivered really good DLC, with reasonable prices.
