World War Z announced for Switch

How on earth has the dev behind the Switcher 3 said this lol? WWZ doesn't hold a candle to TW3 technically and is pretty rough looking on PS4 already
I guess it's the sheer amount of bodies on the screen at once that causes the issues? Will be interesting to see how much of that they have to cut back.
I'm not surprised. It's a pretty scalable game on PC all things considered.
World War Z puts a very impressive amount of zombies on screen at the same time, in addition to having an online infrastructure. I'm not surprised that it's more difficult than The Witcher 3.
Is there any game that isn't perfect for the Switch? lol, I see this mentioned in every new game announcement for Switch.
If you have friends, yes. It is basically a third person Left 4 Dead with light RPG elements.
I think they got help from CDPR for TW3, which may have made it easier.
Also if it's rough on PS4 that'll mean it's harder to get onto Switch, not easier. The better something looks/runs on PS4/XB1 the easier it is to downgrade (probably).
Really solid. A good amount of content and its a great co-op game. Worth checking on GP.
Wow, Saber cost $525 million to acquire? How many employees do they have?
TWEWY and Mario Maker 2 :P
Never got round to playing this one, how similar is it to Left 4 Dead? I need a new co-op zombie game to fuck around with.
Way bigger than I thought they are
I figured they had like 200 or so
More focused around upgrading weapons and picking good loadouts but it has a similar flow of L4D. Worth a try at least!
Yeah I looked it up when I was reading about the Switcher port 'cos I didn't know anything about them
Extremely similar but it has classes where you can unlock abilities and you can level up weapons, like Vermintide.
Several of the special zombies are very similar too: one that stalks and pounces on you, another that releases poisonous gas ...
This will be interesting to see. I can't imagine zombie numbers and stage assets, not taking a big hit to get running.
There are plenty of online Switch games, and from some of the biggest developers in the industry. I don't think I've ever heard a developer say that anything about it has been difficult. They much more likely mean having to manage that many zombies at once..
Interesting to see how they do the horde mechanics. Not really seen a Switch game with loads of units on screen.
There are plenty of Musou games on Switch, not that they're comparable in complexity.
Maybe Nintendo Land and Affordable Space Adventures, or some PC games heavily reliant on mouse + keyboard. Other than that, no, every game is perfect for the Switch.
only for nintendo. if you don't rely on nintendo's shit, it works fine
The horde tech in WWZ is more impressive (and likely more demanding) than the copy-and-paste x1000 mooks of musou games
Playing the PC version currently, I'm hoping Saber is once again able to implement cross-save on Switch to PC like they did with Witcher 3. Would be amazing. Cross-play would be nice too between all versions, can't forget about Gyro controls either.

Yes.
I've been playing it on Xbox and enjoy it enough, it I don't think the Switch port is going to be for me.
This game received pretty mediocre scores on consensus sites. Has the game improved since its launch?
World War Z is a great game and I am glad more people will be able to play it. My wife and I have beaten it on three difficulties and done the DLC maps (which were free!). The game has had fantastic post-launch support that has us returning to it every so often. Most of the randoms we play with are fine too.
