Please don't teach your kid to be a graphics snob lmao
Don't worry. He doesn't even understand what's going on. I told him that hopefully we can play the game soon.

But I'm the one buying the game and want to buy the console version that runs at 60fps. It's for me to play and him to watch, so I don't think it's unreasonable to want to wait until this PSN listing issue gets resolved. It seems like maybe it was an error, and I just wanted to draw some attention to it since it had gone largely unnoticed for over a month.

And if that means piping 60 hot frames at 1080p resolution directly into my son's eyeballs then that's a nice bonus too.

He'll either end up working for Digital Foundry, or he'll spend his life in therapy and put his father in a nursing home at the first opportunity.

"Remember that time when I was 4 and instead of letting me playing Snake Pass you were kind of a dick and a graphics queen, dad? Well, they don't get 60fps at the old folks home, either POP. Have fun."

Are you buying this because you want to play the game?

Because it sounds like you're doing it entirely for your son, and that graphics are a lower priority - a "bonus"

People in here telling OP how to parent based on a couple obviously joking posts.

Never change, Era. Lmao


I am actually rather interested myself to what happened though. Hoping we get a tweet or something to sate my curiosity.

Pretty strange. When I go to OP's link in the en-sk page in a private browser window, I see the game's page with price, background, and "Add to Cart" button. If I go to a US link however, it just shows a broken page.

Yeah, looks like it's back now. An hour ago when I searched for the game on the Canada store, I couldn't find it. Now I see it in search results. Oddly enough, there's no screenshots or videos. Just the description, and a purchase button.

By the way, if your son is 4, don't expect him to be able to do much more than have a wiggle and crawl around the first level or so. Not that that won't be fun for him, mind. Just that Snake Pass is definitely a tricky game to master and unless he's a gaming prodigy, I'd expect the skill ceiling to be a fair bit too high for his age to actually beat the game.

I mean OP I doubt your son is going to care if it doesn't play 60 FPS. Just get it on switch?

Please don't support your sons snake obsession.

Try to get him interested in more cuddly creatures like puppies. Be a benefit to society.

Nice game but freaking brutal at times. Echo the sentiment that your son will likely not care what system it's on.

I do have both a Switch and PC, but I'd rather not get the Switch version because of its rougher visuals and performance. As for the PC version, that would be okay but still not as good as playing with my son on my big TV with a soundbar.
Seems like your poor son will have to deal with subpar image quality if he wants to get a slither in…

What is this world coming to?

Not even the PS5 version is worthy. Your son will only be happy if you build him a gaming PC with a 3090 so that he can play Snake Pass at 8K 120 FPS

It needs to also be in VR or preferably beamed directly into his retinas with light pipes.

In all seriousness, the rougher performance is really not a big deal. Snake Pass is not really a twitch platformer. You will see your failure approaching you from far away as you struggle to cling to a tree and try as you might you will still fall off the branch. Having half the frame time would not convey a substantially material advantage.

But also

Snake Pass is back on PSN for some time, and nobody seems to give a FLYING FUCK

Seems like a good opportunity to teach your son that this world is not in the business of giving people what they want. Better to learn that lesson early.

Never heard of this game, and thanks to this thread, I now desperately want to play it and plan to purchase it soon so thanks for that!

It's back on the Euro PSN store. It wasn't there yesterday which is strange.

I hope you and your son have a great time playing this. I thought it was a wonderful and memorable game. Never understood why Sumo scrapped the DLC/sequel plans.

We went from tears in the son's eyes, and having to explain to him that he wasn't going to be able to play the game, to oh yeah, we have a PC and Switch to - I just wanted the sound bar.

Lol.

Era saves Snake Pass from itself again

The Snake Pass icon has been updated

BEHOLD It's so beautiful Just wanted to mark this moment when everything in the Switch icon movement came full-circle. Sumo Digital has updated Snake Pass to feature a new icon... and apparently a new Arcade Mode, or something. But the important thing is the icon! As you may recall, when...

Not wanting to play a game in 30fps, when a 60fps version is also available is a completely valid reason.
Don't understand why everyone is being so hostile here? If the OP isn't interested in playing it on the go, there's no reason to bother with an underpowered console plugged in to the TV.
