Really wanna play this, PC is probably still the best option though right? Doesn't really seem like the kinda game that would be as fun on the go vs a dark living room

As I've said before, I've played the game many times before. And I'm playing it right bow on the PS4 to make comparisons.
To me, it's a serious issue.
If thats not the case to John or other people, lucky them. But since its bothering me, I think that it would be cool to warn others anyway.
There was one guy that also complained about it on the DF thread, so thats that.

Yeah, this isn't really a game you want to pick on your daily commute, but sitting in a dark room with headphones? I still think the game could draw you in, even with the smaller screen.
Sounds like it's not a significant issue then. Certainly not "barely playable" for most at least. Good info to have though. Interested in more impressions.
That's true I did all of the Resident Evils on switch in bed so maybe that's the best option
So happy to see this game get another shit at success. It's probably the most atmospheric game of this generation, maybe ever. It's middling success is a total crime. But at least the years have only gotten kinder to its reputation overall. I'm still convinced that it coming out so soon after Colonial Marines kneecapped its sales potential, and that total garbage IGN review.
It's definitely there. I also agree that it's borderline unplayable for me. Something felt off the second I tried it and I did some investigating this morning compared to the PS4 version and at least one thing that's different is there is a larger dead zone on the Switch so that it doesn't start to move as quickly as it does on the PS4. I'm usually not one who complains about input lag since I usually can easily adjust, but this stood out to me. I'm really surprised it hasn't been mentioned. I mentioned it immediately in the DF thread.
It wasn't mentioned in the DF analysis or any review, which leads me to believe it won't be an issue for most. I played around with it for a bit this evening and the controls seemed solid. That being said, I never played the original game, so I'm not doubting that there have been control changes.
I'm legitimately surprised DF didn't mention it. It's bad enough that I really would have expected it to be mentioned. I was surprised it wasn't after I started playing. Again, I'm not usually picky about this and I'm stressing this to point out it stands out quite a bit compared to playing other FPS games. I'm hoping it actually gets more attention so we could potentially get it patched.
You should tweet the dev (Feral Interactive), because different control options would be nice. Or someone should, at least. I don't have any expectations with the original versions or I'd do it.
Well, thanks to the sound design, it's incredibly scary/intense for sensitive-types like myself.
I can hardly get through the prologue. lol
Here, watch this video and watch how his right thumb moves the pad and how slow the screen is to react to it:
Yeah, the dead zone thing is very annoying
But since the game is slow paced, it's very much playable. But its such a shame, because it would be the definitive edition to me otherwise.
I'm 3 hours in, and the game is still a masterpiece. It looks and sounds amazing. Performance is rock solid so far.
I can't recomend enough disabling film grain. It's a disservice to the art in display here.
Please buy this game, people
I feel like it'll feel less playable once you're dealing with the Alien more and trying to not get killed by it. That and when you have to fight the androids. I really hope this gets more attention though because this should be an easy to solve problem and it pains me a bit that it's an annoying issue with an otherwise great looking port.
The best thing you can do to make Feral aware is to send an email to [email protected] and they will have people look into it.
Sorry, my bad. I checked Monster Boy instead. 17GB is right
I'd really like to try this when it releases at a discount. It seems like it's supposed to be a great game, I'd love to play it.

It's a shame they couldn't get the game under 16 gig. I imagine it's a tough sell to justify putting this out on a 32 gig card without raising the game's price.
This is one of the greatest games ever made and I'll buy it for third time to show my support for bringing experiences like this to the switch.
I'm fearing they won't. Not a lot of people are talking about it and I'm legit surprised more reviews didn't mention it.
Started the game yesterday and played a bit. I can't get it out of my mind now. The atmosphere they created is fantastic and I haven't even come across enemies yet. It's creepy as hell. Man I love space station horror games. There are so few of them but the gameplay options and creepiness makes for a perfect setting.
I just sent them a tweet about the input lag, more people should do that.
So, game is quite the technical feat but I encountered a save bug I think? I saved before cranking the generator and now when I load the save I can't crank it and the electricity is still out...do I have to start all over?
Yeah, once you loaded the last save you can load an older one but mine somehow was at the same save station...I loaded the mission save, didn't lose too much progress but still annoying.
Anyways still a great game and the port is indeed fantastic.

It's not that bad. I would expect the base game to be like $20 but this also includes all the DLC, so maybe $30 might be more reasonable but $35 isn't that far off from that. It still lists for $40 for the base game on the PC and $50 for all the complete package.
Damn. Hah. I still have a Switch on 3.X which I never got around to hacking.
I bought it and I'm playing it now. The input lag is very bad. I hope it gets patched quickly
Oh ya the input lag is bad. I'm just saying the price point isn't terrible. Email them and tweet at them. More people need to report it.
I don't normally hack anything but that is pretty ridiculous. How hard is it to hack the switch?
