On the other hand, given the weird console fanboyism fueled tribalism that some people on here often exhibit, I am not surprised at the reactions in the slightest.
Wow what? That can't be right. The entire w3 complete edition on 1 single game card???
It's so weird to me.
Why not just appreciate it for what it is.
Or go appreciate your favorite version for what it is and just shut it.
He said 60+. A mere 60fps is not enough for the vision. And dropping settings? No way, Jose.
Basically, you have to play the game at settings that weren't possible on hardware that didn't exist when the game actually released in order to achieve the developers' vision.
I'm pretty sure he was joking
From rpgsite which they say from the cd project red's press release about the game :
Lol, so many people acting like they've never seen a console game before. Yes console games run and look worse than PC games, what else is new? It's still game of the generation, even with 30 fps. 30 fps isn't great, but something most of us have learned to live with right?
I was making fun of mostly console players coming in here with "MUH EXPERIENCE" posts.
So is there any chance that a playable version will be shown off in private or is it too early?
It's like people have forgotten the long history of downports to portables. I think it's great that these kind of games are finding a home on the Switch, if no one else is going to make any handheld machines then what's the problem? If Nintendo go ahead and make Switch games compatible with the next generation of their line, these will look miles better in a few years.
It's out in September. It should be pretty close to being complete.
Hasn't been officially announced for Sep. But I assume you're going off of the listing leak for September, because it probably will release then.
Oh right, the official announcement is just 2019.
Yeah, I was going off of the leak.
Nah, because Alien Isolation was on last gen, it was never an "Impossible port"
You underestimate how much people underestimate Switch. A few folks in a thread recently legitimately tried to argue the Switch can't run the PS3 version of GTA5 without compromises.
People have tried to imply that the Switch can't run GTA V and that's also on last gen systems. At any rate, I certainly expect people would be surprised to see it running better
I don't think it will be much better than Xenoblade 2 portable, to be honest. Xenoblade 2 ran as badly as it did because of poor optimization, and while I am sure that won't be the case with The Witcher 3, it's also just a far more demanding game than Xenoblade 2 was.
Just wait it will be considered trash when it releases sadly because it doesn't run the same frame rate and resolution as more powerful consoles.
Wow I was not expecting 720p even dynamic. This port is getting more and more impressive.
Good to hear that dynamic resolution is implemented. Should help smooth out framerates.
Wtf, amazing!! Might be expected but that's pretty damn good.
I'm sure the dynamic res is going to be heavily used, though. Man A hypothetical SP version would be awesome.
my laptop isn't the most powerful hardware, even by 2016 standards...
...it still managed to, somehow, be able to run TW3. With less-than-720p resolution, and not-even-30fps framerate.
I still managed to beat the base game, plus Hearts of Stone and get to Blood and Wine having an absolute blast. Amazing fucking game. Would I have preferred to have experienced it in ultra-crisp HD with max graphical settings? Of course! Did I have the chance? Not at all. I took what little I could and still had HOURS AND HOURS OF FUN. I'm pretty sure the Switch version will run better.
Wow that looks rough as hell. I mean, obviously cool that people will get the choice to play it on their Switch.
But it really does look like some YouTuber took the .ini file and tried to make it as low poly and minimalistic as possible.

Man some of y'all never would've made it during the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, lol, remember playing "arcade ports" of Ninja Turtles Arcade Game on the NES and Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat 1/2/3 on SNES and Genesis, and DOOM on the SNES or DKC (er, DK Land) on the Game Boy.
The Witcher 3 Switch |OT| Tired of Nintendo Stealing and Damaging Our Games
Oh, I'm aware of how much people underestimate the system, still most people would agree Alien: Isolation is not a problem, I think.
Most of the media shots are native 720p, I think, the one from the Blood and Wine expansion was lower, but not 540p I think.
This really looks like a version that has a lot of care put into it. I'm very glad.
Not even a little bit close:
Eh I'd say budget and expectation of sales success are two very real excuses. But yeah technically speaking I don't think there's much if anything that can't make it over.
If there isn't someone insisting the Switch can't handle the game properly, I'll eat my hat
