The Witcher 3: Complete Edition announced for Nintendo Switch, coming 2019

I'm 100% buying it to show support for:
When will Nintendo finally release the 64gb card?
- AAA ports to Switch.
- Devs putting all content on a single card.
- Devs using the 32gb card.
When will Nintendo finally release the 64gb card?
I am sure any game that launches after Pro will benefit, OG BOTW will likely benefit too as will any Nintendo game using dynamic resolution and performance scalers.
So basically, those resolutions are approximately what we got for Doom? That's absolutely perfect for me, even docked. I play about 1.8 meters away from a 32 inches 1080p monitor when at home (which is quite rare) and Doom looks great.
I'm not continuing to answer strawmen. Stop trying to "gotcha" me. My initial comment was that graphics affect the gameplay experience. That's it. Nothing to do with Mario 64.
Yeah but on 6" screen, thats actually far bigger PPI than for instance 1080p on 40" screen.
Actually Doom goes down to around 380p in handheld mode.
This is actually decent. 540p in handheld mode is fine enough. If the framerate doesn't tank awfully I'm in.
For comparison, Doom is 720p docked and 576p undocked, all dynamic according to my 5 seconds google investigation. I think it looks fine, and it is absolutely the same game which I previously played on PC.
Witcher 3 on Switch will be perfectly playable, and an excellent compromise for people like me who cannot sit 60 hours in front of a TV.

Yep, i was thinking about that. 540p = 960 × 540 pixels, right?
So, here's a website to calculate PPI: https://www.designcompaniesranked.com/resources/is-this-retina/
960x540 in 6.2" = 177.65 PPI
Here's another website to calculate PPI: https://www.sven.de/dpi/
960x540 in 6.2" = Display size: 5.4" × 3.04" = 16.43in² (13.73cm × 7.72cm = 105.97cm²) at 177.65 PPI, 0.143mm dot pitch, 31561 PPI²
:O
Here's a list about games on switch and their resolution + fps (docked and handheld mode):
most of them, 720p
Obviously The Witcher 3 is an open world...

Yeah, and 1080p on 40" screen has 55 PPI.
DF reported that Doom resolution goes down to around 380p.
Yep.
Doom: Handheld: 576p / 30 FPS. Objects in the distance render at 360p. FPS drops all the way down to 20 FPS when combat gets intense.
I provided you an example (or entire previous gen examples) of why graphics doesn't inherently make gameplay bad (unless the graphic needed was part of the gameplay, which in Witcher's case I don't think it is, it's spectacle, someone can correct me if there is). You know what affects gameplay; FPS, that is a crutch you can hang on to. You didn't answer my question sincerely so I'm done with the conversation.
You asked me about Mario 64, which is irrelevant. We disagree, that's fine. No need to act silly.
Haha yep, that sounds a lot like my experience with The Witcher 2. I'm happy I played the "less than optimal" experience at the time when I did (weak laptop), rather than skipping the game.
Ouch. 720p docked? It's great that more people will get to experience this game, but part of what makes it amazing is how beautiful it is.
The cycle continues of people calling the Switch hardware garbage that is incapable of playing games like Witcher 3, then it getting the game and people pivoting to it just being an inferior version as if a portable console would have the power to run at the same level as consoles.
The cycle:
1. The Switch can't get current gen games.
2. The Switch can't get current gen games without cutting the framerate in half.
3. The Switch can't get current gen open world games. Starlink and DQXIS don't count because reasons.
4. The Switch can't get The Witcher 3, one of the most ambitious and technically advanced open world games ever.
5. Wow, the Switch is getting The Witcher 3? Potato mode incoming, 240p max. They focused so much on whether they could that nobody asked if they should. Etc.
6. Oh wow 540p handheld, 720p docked? Well it wasn't that demanding of a game to begin with.
EDIT: 6': 720p? Absolutely disgusting.
Repeat for the next big port it gets.

7. I can't believe people are playing The Witcher 3 in 2019, the game is too old. Everybody has played it.
Hopefully we will get an additional frame next week, when their dev Switch finishes rendering it. (Jk I hope we get a gameplay demo soon)
So many games were less than 720p last gen and that didn't seem to be a problem. 720p should be fine.
Yeah, but there were a lot of people that had to use a mellon baller to scoop out their eyes. It's an under reported issue, there should be a charity for all the poor gamers that couldn't handle resolutions under 2160.
at launch. game looks way better in portable mode after the patches.
There was brief wolfenstein youngblood footage in the direct. How was it compared to the old one ?
Yes, because CDPR tweeted that the game is "roughly 32GB".
32GB cards have been used before though for the Asian release of FF X / X-2.
Yes, also DQH1&2. This would be the first western release though. I bet DQXI will use one too.
Hopefully it reopens the door to GTAV finally.
You could add
7: Well if you have no other way to play the game then I suppose it's fine but you won't be able to enjoy the developers full vision of the game.
But you don't understand. i never enjoyed games before cuz they were sub HD trash./s
Sure, I can buy it on my ps4 or laptop. But that get up and go and quick turn on and restart where I last stopped at? Pfft, the switch is amazing, away from the TV.
Unless it's completely unplayable, I'm playing it portable mode for 15 minutes here and there and will love it.
After CDPR announcing TW3 I would be very surprised if Rockstar didn't have something serious in the works.

constant 540 is insane, that's better than Doom or Xenoblade o.o
I'm really curious how this will pan out when visiting denser areas.
