Unbelieavable. KH3 is seeming more likely now.
I remember when getting a portable version of a current gen game meant getting a completely different version/experience.I think the game looks pretty damn amazing. It was never going to look like the PS4 versions, but I think it still looks great. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

The fact that I can play the full-fat version of current gen games portably is still crazy to me.
or for people who would rather play this game on a handheld platform
I purchased FFXII Zodiac Age on PS4, and then PC, and then Switch, but I never played more than halfway through the game until I picked up the Switch version because for me, the game is a lot more approachable when I don't have to dedicate couch time to it and play at my TV. That's something I had been aware of long before the Switch version was even announced - and went the extra mile to play with a portable form factor even then, via mobile Remote Play (which was an okay experience) and Steam streaming to my phone mounted on a Steam controller (which was cool but cumbersome). Those solutions were nifty, but bore issues and constraints of their own, and I've found the Switch version to be the one that most conforms to my desires and lifestyle. The fact that I can't run it at 60fps like the PC version, or that the visuals aren't as improved as the PS4 versions, were heavy considerations before I made my purchase, but immediately fell to the wayside after I started the game on Switch and the value of convenient portability made itself apparent to me.
When a portable form factor makes a game more approachable or accessible to you then it's easy to overlook the visual concessions. It's been that way for a long time, if you can recall ports of games and experiences to legacy handheld platforms. I think it's pretty weird how people have come to reject the notion that a handheld version of a game isn't worth playing unless it's your only means of playing the game. That sentiment never really took hold until the Switch came into the picture.
This:
...is not such an unflattering comparison for Switch that it diminishes the novelty and importance of a full-fat current generation open-world RPG being ported to a handheld platform with so few concessions beyond the expected visual cutbacks.
Yep, I said this before the reveal but i'm buying the game just to support the audacity of this port. Quite frankly, it looks better than I expected.So many salty people and concern trolling.
My favorites comments are "but why?" even its clear like day that not every person has PS4/XB1/PC, or even some of have some of those platforms, full handheld play for one of best games of generation is game changer for plenty of people.
So the bodies are there here but not on the trailer it seems?
There is blood also for those worried about censoring a couple pages back.
I might go crazy and get this...its portable witcher 3 goddamnit!
I put together a quick comparison video of moving footage shown in the initial trailers for both Switch and PC. The Switch version looks pretty good, IMO.

I imagine $49.99 at least.I did not expect that honestly... Hope it's not 59,99 tho... I've bought the complete edition for like 15 bucks on PS4.
Yeah, I'm surprised The Witcher 3 is the hill a lot of these folks are willing to die on. The game came out years ago elsewhere. Not sure why this game in particular is the one that is driving folks mad.Digital Foundry could sing praises about this port and people here would still have a problem with its existence

Maybe they don't understand the mentality of playing on a TV.I really wish I understood this mentality of handheld somehow being more comfortable or convenient.
How is dedicating 120 hrs fo a game like FF12 more comfortable on a small screen vs on a big screen on the couch ?
In reality most handheld gamers simply play their handhelds at home on their couch anyway and I struggle to understand how that is somehow superior to playing on a TV.
This is not directed to you..My friends say the same shit and I just don't get it..
Are these screenshots from the Portable mode or from the Docked mode?
This ... doesn't look good.
Curious about it's sales performance tho.
It's being done by Saber Interactive, I believe.This is wildly impressive.
Is there a possibility Nintendo put some internal studio work into this ?
PC version did get downgraded. CDPR talked about it waaaay back when.If the game can look like this on Switch, PC version really got a gigantic downgrade from what could have been....
Cause I can play it on the toilet, in my backyard, garage, any bed or couch, and if I wanted to, outside as well.I really wish I understood this mentality of handheld somehow being more comfortable or convenient.

They did last week or so released the news that the PC version sold around 45%, PS4 39% and the rest was XboxOne

The crow in that intro literally has the same number of polygons on Switch as on PC.

You play anywhere, at anytime, with just a battery around to double/triple the battery if needed. Charges pretty fast.I really wish I understood this mentality of handheld somehow being more comfortable or convenient.
