Todd Howard surprised by Fallout Shelter Switch success + Mods not in the works for Skyrim
- Thread starter Jonneh
- Start date
Pretty low. Runs DOOM worse than the Switch port if you were looking for a more direct comparison.
Dimensions 15.5 cm x 9.7 cm x 2.2 cm
CPU 64-bit x86 Intel Atom x7 Z8750 (1.60 GHz/2.56 GHz max)
Graphics Intel HD 405 Graphics (200 MHz/600 MHz max)
Memory 4GB LPDDR3 RAM
We'd love to see it happen but we're not going to put any effort into making it happen.
Right...
"We would love to see it happen but it's not something we're actively doing." Almost sounds as if he's explicitly leaving it up to the modding community to implement it.
I didn't read it as it being an impossibility of happening later, but right now all their people are tied up with other things (that they deem more important overall than bringing mods to Skyrim Switch) and they aren't gonna shift them to do this instead, so it's not happening at this moment.
Just because you'd love to do something doesn't mean you'll do it if there's a bunch of other things you want to do even more.

the file size is huge problem and yes they can make it smaller for switch but with every DLC it get bigger
I really hope Skywind and Skyblivion will get a full release some day.
Oh man you a right, what's the total file size of ESO now? You would Need an SD Card dedicated to it I guess.
They'd love to see it but not it's worth the resources. At least he's being honest.
I admit I bought Skyrim at launch on Switch for $60. I don't regret it as I love having it portable. Plus, it is still $50 on Amazon, so not a huge price drop since launch .
I want Doom as well but keep holding off hoping for a sale at $35 or so. It's also still $50.

"we'd rather you just buy the next game. Now what that game is, we're not currently talking about."
Shelter was probably ported by a tiny team though, relatively speaking.
I know. Just funny to hear it. They are the only ones that can do it.
More than likely but to have a switch focused iternal team is certainly a good sign
I've been playing it on my Xbox One X for two weeks now and haven't seen it crash once.
Yes definitely, and if the returns have been surprising I'm sure they are looking into expanding that team.
I appreciate the honesty but it's really funny hearing him in one breath be like "yeah we haven't done right by our Switch community. we need to support these things" and then when asked if they're doing those things he's like "nah, we're not"
Sure, but they can make it digital only, and just like with Wolfenstein 2 the file size would probably be much much smaller than in the other systems.
Don't worry todd, the modding community will take care of mods, like the always do.
People have already brought mods to breathe of the wild on cfw, don't see how skyrim would be too far off.

I'm ok with his response because
1 Bethesda came out with support with a solid selection of games.
2 Since the e3 2017 the company outright stated mods weren't coming to Skyrim
3 People are either ignoring that announcement or genuinely don't know and his follow-up answer was straightforward unlike Capcom.
This is how all the publishers should be acting.
Oblivion is a bad compromise between Skyrim and Morrowind.
Surprised to see anyone stanning for it.
Oblivion is second to Morrowind and a lot more enjoyable than Skyrim to me. Well the story and quests are pretty much undeniably better than Skyrim actually.
Games like Fallout: Shelter and Elder Scrolls Blades are the Switch's shining beacons of hope when it comes to third party support.
that's a good solution. well Wolfenstein 2 file size is around half of TESO and if they port this to switch it will probably be largest switch game ever and people will need a bigger SD card for game and DLC
The statement makes sense. Developers can't keep teams of people on hold just in case they are needed for unexpected reasons. Everything is planned well in advance, and they aren't going to suddenly drop a new project just to add new comment or features to a released one.
How big is ESO? Isn't it entirely segregated by platform?
Nintendo doesn't care these days. They have the most lenient standards here outside of Win10 Universal apps. They were actually the first to allow mobile crossplay too (on Wii U back when Sony still blocked it).
Isn't that because the it's just emulating the Xbox 360 version? This is nothing like what a remaster would be like.
Dunno how TEW2 would go on Switch, but if Wolfenstein 2 was possible I suppose it's no biggie (it runs on another engine based in Id Tech) but the first one was also on PS3 so it should be entirely possible.
Having just played Revelations 2 on Switch and The Evil Within on PS4 having both TEW games would be a treat on that machine. Handheld mode horror is a godsend - I love it!
Them allowing crossplay doesn't mean they'd allow mods, those are two seperate things. To my knowledge they've never had a single game on their platform with mod support.
I think it's just being transparent tbh. He know's they're asking for it, but simply at this point they've put their resources into other areas/projects and can't work on mods for the Switch. But since he acknowledged it, maybe in a future Nintendo port/game they'll work harder at bringing those features.
Only goes to show Switch is an afterthought in their minds. The only real support they'll give to the console is what they can farm out.
That'd be nice but only if I can play on XB1 and Switch with the same character. Don't want to start from scratch.
Mmhhh, strange. My XB1X installation of ESO is 90.3GB (Version 1.12.1.0 with all DLC installed, which are nothing more than ~10MB unlock files)
I'd be shocked by this. It's super rough on PS4 (even on a Pro). I'd love it though (even though it'd be my 3rd time buying it now!)
Cross play and/or saves would be amazing. I love my PC character and really don't want to ever have to restart if they do pull off a Switch port.
I think the specs you posted is for the old model. New model has 8gb ram
That is correct. The video I linked was the game running on the Win 1.
