In the case of Resident Evil 7 there is no valid excuse beyond not wanting to incur that risk. RE7 is around 24GB iirc, so is Outlast 2, which was shrinked to 10GB for the Switch while still looking good. Technically they are similar, and so on.
Because then you have two different sets of similar accessories for the same system, but which are incompatible with one another. A whole mess that damages the point of the system.
I think your priorities are really weird, lol.
Nah we're the dummies for thinking Nintendo would do a Switch Pro. I'm tired of people getting on those who said a Switch Pro makes all the sense in the world.
These aren't my concerns. They are concerns I've heard from developers contacts I have. Numerous projects are not coming to Switch because cart size limitations and cost. Games that can easily run on the platform are being skipped for those reasons.
I can't really blame them. Cart sizes are what they are. Nintendo can't do anything about that and they costs a lot.
Would affordable 32GB carts make a big difference, even if the 64GB ones were expensive?
Affordable 32GB carts would be a great help. 64GB carts becoming affordable would be even better. It'll eventually happen, but right now costs remain a roadblock. Software sales would still remain a concern, however.
Game Cards are without a doubt the largest detractor to third parties, Nate works in the industry so he's hardly pretending it's an issue.
If you dont mind me asking, what sorts of games have weak or middling software sales? I always had the impression that most games were doing reasonably well for being late or paired back ports
Hmmm. So, are you definitely on board with a Switch Pro happening next year?
I think they need to do it, and I believe the Foxconn leak was this pro we think is coming. The post above is how realistic it all is, that power draw makes sense for the handheld side and the dock side, there is plenty of power so it works there too.
If mixed precision is really only taking advantage of 1.33x at most for games using unreal engine 4, it will be close to xbone specs.. but it won't be consistent of course. I wouldn't say competing level though.. not sub 1.3 after mixed precision mode. If only they went with xavier specs at 12nm and 1.3 TFLOPs docked and 500 GFLOPs handheld, with 137GB/s bandwidth using only about 20 watts docked(see link below). Maybe its viable on a handheld now.. who knows. The lower the node size the better. 7 or 10nm would be gerat, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.
Don't expect these sorts of performance levels. Compared to a XB1, it should be capable of 35% (very roughly) currently, it could be a super tiny upgrade to 42% (again rough) and as much as 84% of an XB1, if they doubled the Cuda cores.
Yes, Iwata mentioned family of systems. Back then people did think of different devices playing the same games. We'll see how it pans out.
Lol I love the contradictions here. This might be my favorite joke post.
Almost every consecutive sentence contradicts each other lol.
