Re: Hold On Tight As Digital Foundry Tries To Nail Down Zelda: Link's Awakening's Performance Hiccups

OK Digital Foundry, I know why the performance is so bad.

This game was made with Unreal Engine. Not in-house engine like previous 3DS Zelda. They don't know how to optimize performance on a 3rd party engine.

Let that be a lesson Nintendo, Unity/Unreal may be easier to kickstart a project but at the end performance issues will come back to bite you and it won't be easy to fix because your programmer didn't built the engine. It's not a cost effective solution, build your own engine.

This game is free with Apple Arcade.

I think Apple Arcade is going to be competing with Switch more than anything else (it's basically a console in software form). Will Nintendo still sell their games on iOS now that Apple becomes their competition?

This game is selling at $12.99 on Switch, Apple Arcade is $4.99 per month with hundreds of games to play for free. Do the math, even a fool can see the crisis coming for Switch. The indies that made Switch a success are no longer relevant soon.

Re: Astral Chain Director Talks Sequel Potential, Says Game Wasn't Intended To Be Beginner-Friendly

Bayonetta is better for this type of game. I'd rather mash buttons than remembering which Pokemon to use and which button to press.

If you put this game down for 2 days and played other games, it will be hard to continue. There's too much to learn and remember. FE:3H is the same but at least you can stop to think, Astral Chain is a fast pace action game with no breathing space.
