Development for Steep on the Nintendo Switch Halted (It's Canned, Ya'll)
- Thread starter ILikeFeet
- Start date
Not surprised. Seems like AAA games have a lot of trouble running on Switch. Hell, some indie titles are having performance problems on the platform.
How well did it perform on the other consoles ?
I still think it would have been a nice addition to the Switch library...bummer that they could realize it.
Maybe we get a new 1080 next year *believe*

Well it was no Saints Row 3DS.... xD
Yup, nothing to do with time/money and how little the game would sell if released in the future...
How the FUCK did your brain come up with that obviously well thought out and thorough analysis?
Yeah no surprise. Thought it was well known since months, weird that they waited this long to confirm it in a reply on twitter.

Post history... When you jump on the first post just to post that, it's pretty obvious why and how.
Now that this game has been officially cancelled, I can state that no one was looking forward to it anyway and the lack of Steep on the Switch is no great loss. I can say this now that it isn't coming anymore.
Never got why this of all games was chosen for a Switch port. They should've done Sout Park instead, that even runs on the same engine as Mario + Rabbids.
Snake Pass had iffy performance on PS4, what gives?

Yeah all those "Steep on Switch" hype threads on here look pretty embarrassing now
Is this your meditation mantra to help you feel better? What a nonsense takeaway.
Yup it's a shame (for us) that he retired from leaking.
Probably healthier for him though.
Shame, not that I was still expecting it but I was mildly interested in this when it was announced.
And this was probably just Ubisoft testing the waters, trying to see what genres of games would appeal to the Switch crowd. Can't blame them considering how tricky this question has been for third party publishers on Nintendo platforms in the past.
South Park is already on the Switch I think?

He's not wrong and this fanboy dogpile is embarrassing.
And nothing of value was actually lost. One of the most disappointing games I've played all gen.
Oh, the fanboy argument. Goes well with his console war bullshit.
Yeah, it is. Could've been on the platform earlier though if Ubi would've chosen this title instead of Steep as a port, imo. If they wanted to test the waters, there's other stuff where a test might be more rational.
This is now nothing but a waste of their own resources, sadly.
Yeah i know that it's on the system and Stick of Truth coming, but as i said above, it's more that they might've done a more timely release for both games if not wasting resources on Steep. ^^
Also it's cheap and easy to port to switch so this game getting canned had everything to do with Ubisoft not having enough funds to port it and nothing to do whats so ever difficulty of getting it to run on Switch hardware.
IT was a strange announcement from the start, an always online game on a hybrid console, and said game was never particularly popular or well received.
Now if it was World of the Division that would have been exciting, imagine chibified agents slaughtering chibified rioters, deranged firemen and pmcs

Can you stop being so defensive about your favorite console? Are you not aware of the power difference between the switch and the other two? Its a perfectly reasonable hypothesis to have, and it doesnt mean people are attacking the switch just to be mean.
The Switch isn't my favorite console. All these damn assumptions, hahahahahahahaha. Yes, I am aware of the power difference, no shit, but the person's initial post was utterly full of shit and he got called out for it. It's pretty obvious.
Agreed. There is a reason ubisoft yves said assassin's Creed origins would be impossible on the machine.
