Has anyone else been playing this game on pc specifically with the Xbox game pass app? I'm getting really bad freezes every few seconds and not sure how to fix it.
Seeing as how it gets its physical release tomorrow, I would really like to know if the SWI version is now on par with PS4 graphics- and effects-wise. Regarding slowdowns and particularly those empty bullet casings. The physical version will be 1.02, I think. Or 1.20? The current one, hopefully.
Definitely wasn't on par when I played it at launch, and there is some pretty bad slowdown throughout (among other issue). I believe this goes into the differences:
Can't speak to any changes post-patch(es).
Despite everything, I will be picking up that LRG LE because the game rocks.

Just beat this game last night. That final boss is legit insanity, so fucking good.
The devs should pat themselves on the back for this, they made a better Contra game than some of the original devs at Konami did in the same year. Loved the end credits music too.

I didn't realize this was the same developer as Odallus so I just passed it by in the endless list of switch garbage.. My friend started the game up, once I heard that developer screen I knew I was in for a good time. Amazing game. Absolutely incredible. Love it.

Would like to know this too, really want to buy this but want my playthrough to be with the performance patch if it's ready
The artist of the game mentioned on a brazilian podcast that you have to pay nintendo to patch a game on switch (not sure if it is different on other places) so they are doing everything on steam and when the steam version is 150% they will do it on switch as one big patch since they are brazilians and one dollar is now equal lots of brazilian moneys
That is not true at all, though. Nintendo has never charged for patches unless they have now randomly introduced a fee. That was a thing with Microsoft during the 360 generation (the reason Fez never got patched until they stopped charging loooong after). Not sure what kind of myth they're peddling there.
Any news on a possible patch? I was hoping the switch physical release would include the improvements.
Apparently, according to one of the devs, Switch version got a patch, but not sure if it made it to the physical versions though. Hopefully...
Thanks for the info. Sounds like the switch version might have the patch then since the physical copies are still in the pipeline.

Four more games set to leave Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for PC soon
Our scanners have picked up more titles which may soon leave the Xbox Game Pass services: two leaving both Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for PC, and two more just leaving the PC Game Pass service.

Boo. Did the Switch one get patched to work better? I remember some performance issues. I'll just pick it up there.

The Switch version did get a patch but I haven't seen any technical analysis on its impact.
I finally got to the end credits of this game a few weeks ago. what a perfect song choice to play over the credits. as a fan of that artist it was a wonderful feeling to recognize that music as soon as it started. such a quintessential synthwave vocal jam.
This is one of the game's I've been playing while in quarantine with covid...
So I mostly like it, and as a fan of Contra, it kinda scratches the same itch... kinda.
My biggest issue is with the jump. In Contra, when you would jump, your character tucks in his legs, making himself a ball, making a smaller hit-box, in order to avoid bullets and enemies while jumping. It added a cool, fun action mechanic.
This game, you're still upright while jumping, and you can't avoid shit - in fact, jumping opens you up to more damage than not. 75% of my deaths was jumping, because I'm so used to Contra, and assuming I'd turn into a ball, but then taking a hit instead.
It was one of my favorite little action mechanics in Contra that is totally gone from this game, which also makes it harder than it needs to be.
