I assume a Skyrim situation where it's a sort of low fidelity version of the remasterI wonder how the Switch version is going to look and run. Lately I've been doing all my console gaming there, but 4K and new effects pique my interest in booting up the PS4 again.

We don't know for sure yet, but come on... if tech illiterate Bethesda is doing their remaster on Switch than it seems doubtless Rockstar will not just port the unaltered old game.Better than the original still? Because if that's the case, a slightly improved game that's portable is very compelling for me.
Of all the games to remaster... what a waste of resources. Baffling.

Actually the studio was headed to die before the game even released. Rockstar had to step into a bigger role to make sure it was up to quality before launch because the main studio behind the game was a mess and crunching like crazy. Rockstar owns the brand though thankfully, and speculation is that this remaster may be a sign Rockstar wants to at least not forget about the brand just yet.I loved the original game on PC but that trailer didn't blow me away, the textures looked 10 years old (no surprise).
It also made me sad thinking about how sales of the game basically shut down the studio behind the game, Team Bondi, and I wonder what their follow up game, Whore of the Orient (yeah, you can kinda guess why no publisher wanted to touch that) would have been like.
Which clue setting did you play on? It was possible to make it so the game would give zero indications of when you were looking at a clue, rather than having it play piano key sounds or visually highlighting it if you didn't want those hintsThis game really deserves a sequel; it had such a great premise.The sequel would need to fix the first's biggest problems, of course:
- provide more ways to interact with the open world
- make investigations less linear and clues harder to find
Interesting. I remember the musical cues. So I guess I missed or skipped that feature.Which clue setting did you play on?

the Switch version is a port of the PC version, so it wont have the graphical upgrades of the XBO and PS4 version (Switch is outsourced to Virtuous, while the other 2 are in-house)I wonder how the Switch version is going to look and run.

RIP that's unfortunate. Surprising that Skyrim is getting the upgrades on Switch but LA Noire from a much better publisher/studio isn't.the Switch version is a port of the PC version, so it wont have the graphical upgrades of the XBO and PS4 version (Switch is outsourced to Virtuous, while the other 2 are in-house)
T2 doesnt have that much confidence in Switch yetRIP that's unfortunate. Surprising that Skyrim is getting the upgrades on Switch but LA Noire from a much better publisher/studio isn't.
That's not exactly true.
I hope it's not. there's not much else they could port (since they dont have that many new games) that could do reasonably well
There are other projects in the works from them that have not yet been announced.I hope it's not. there's not much else they could port (since they dont have that many new games) that could do reasonably well
Of all the games under the rockstar label, this one is the least likely to ever get s sequel. So I'm happy with it.
