Cory Barlog (God Of War) is pretty impressed with the Witcher 3 on the Switch

I always love when developers are able to recognise other developers or companies successes.

I personally don´t plan to buy this port because I spent good hours on the PC version.

But, if you are playing it, what are your thoughts on it? Is it really that impressive?

Cory Barlog seems to be such a passionate guy. His enthousiasm is an example to follow rather than the console war bullshit that is still present too much.

Insane technical achievement, even after 250 hours on the PC. To have such a massive game on the go is so amazing. I think portable mode is definitely where it shines, I don't really dock my Switch to a set. So on smaller screen with some of the technical limitations, it legit feels like magic.

" I'm available for all your naming and marketing needs"

I wonder if he can do something with that generic title of God of War. Hmm..

Also, yes, TW3 on Switch is unbelievable. It's unexpected and I thought this can never be done.

Always cool to see developers appreciate the work of others.

"I mean, I know that it's no 4K UHD game like my PS4 counterpart"

Ehm... yeah...

my feelings exactly. I have completed the game before, so I am leaving it for later...but from what I have played on Switch, it is a great achievement.

Cory seems to be a cool dude. Seeing him make these statements cements that for me. Nice.

With his skill at naming, I now understand why the new GoW was called "God of War"

Delighted to see such passionate and sincere comments on the port. I think a large part of the Era community needs to learn from him.

well yeah a developer will have some real world perspective instead of being an angry console warrior and will be able to appreciate the technical achievement.

The point is not Balrog, the point is here Sony not treating its handheld like it should have been treated. He could have been playing his own God of War game on a next gen handheld similar to The Witcher 3 on Switch if Sony cared enough. Vita has to be worst wasting of a potential ever in the gaming history.

They are so far from the worst on Vita.

You're right, there are some really bad ports for Vita but GoW collection is certainly not excusable. Way below native resolution, framerate dips that didn't existed on any versions of the game, stupid bugs exclusive to Vita (like flying minotaurs), broken trophies...

God of War 4 would be perfect for the Switch.
#Kratosforsmash

Am I doing this right?

Jokes aside, it is a pretty impressive port.

If you follow him on Twitter you'd know he absolutely adores his Switch, so this doesn't surprise me. This thread already having a few devoted fans already making weird posts doesn't surprise me either, y'all could learn a bit from Cory.

Agreed.
That's pretty cool he feels that way. Sad that we were flooded with "it should not exist" "nobody should play it like this" takes around here and the net in general.

It would have been interesting to see if Sony would have attempted to port some of their prestige titles down to a handheld. VIta/PS3 shared a few games(like PSABR) but would have been cool to see some of the bigger games, and especially when it came to PS4/a hypothetical PSP3.
