Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Call of Duty WW2 and Switch?

It is possible. From a technical standpoint the Switch can technically do every effect the Playstation 4 and Xbox One can.

And I hope for those who have bought into the Switch, you get some Call of Duty loving. In-fact, I hope you get most multiplatforms.

I think docked mode would be fine, but again I think undocked mode is where it gets dicey for some devs.

Oh it's definitely possible. If they can port Modern Warfare 3 from PS3/360 to the freaking Wii, they can port a PS4/Xbone COD to Switch.

The question is, do they consider the effort it would take worth the returns?

Well even Wii and Wii U had some CoD games, so I expecting that Switch will have also some CoD game.

Even if they put it on Switch, it's going to be a port with no high effort in it. I really doubt that it would look as good as the other versions (if the game is even possible on Switch).

Any game PS4/XB1 game is possible on Switch, you forget that even Wii got ports of PS3/Xbox360 CoD games and difference in power was much bigger between PS3/360 and Wii than it is between PS4/XB1 and Switch.

The game probably wouldn't even fit on Switch cartridge. They released Ghosts on the Wii U, so it's possible, but very unlikely. I'd rather see Overwatch on Switch than new COD.

Edit:

Apparently thers's rumour circulating that COD WW2 is being ported by Activision's 3rd party dev (that's where the leak's from) and it will be revealed later on, around E3 time. 

You do realise that Switch has different size cartridges? Higher capacity cartridge for bigger game (in GB), smaller for smaller game.

Even if theres alot of effort put into it, it ll still be a weaker version, simply because the Switch is 4-5 times less powerfull than the PS4.

And nintendo users arnt the typical CoD players (imo).

I doubt the Switch gets CoD WW2.

I'm just curious, but would you like to provide your "proof" that the Switch is 4-5 times less powerful than the PS4?  Less powerful, yes...it's doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out, but 5 times, I don't think so.

I know its probably closer to ~4 times less.

But sure....  I did 1840 Gflops (ps4) divided by 397 Gflops (docked Switch) = 1840/397 = 4,63 times.

Its probably not that bad off, but yeah, PS4 probably has 4 times the power of the switch when docked.

It wouldn't really surprise me if there is no Switch version. They would basically have to custom build lower quality assets for it because I'm fairly sure that the PC minimum spec for the last few CoD games was well ahead of Switch's specs, especially Switch's handheld mode specs. Activision most likely doesn't consider it to be worth the time/money they'd spend building a custom version just for Switch, especially after Black Ops 2 had a lackluster performance on Wii U.

 

They managed to get COD games on the Wii, and there was an even bigger gap in power between Wii and PS360 than there is between Switch and current gen consoles. Surely if Switch continues its momentum it would be silly not to tap into that, and before people say why buy an inferior version, COD games on Wii sold in access of 1 million copies.

A nice refreshing post to read, I am also in the boat where I want all consoles to do well and expand the industry.

I think some comparisons between the HD twin versions and Wii version are quite off.
Sure these titles had the same name but in reality they were closer to being completely different games.

Lower resolution, 30 FPS instead of 60, missing MP game modes, lower MP player limit, no DLC, no splitscreen, no zombie mode in WaW, no Spec Ops missions in MW3, no MP at all in CoD3 etc.

So sure a crippled Switch version is always possible, for every single game out there. But I think people don't want that for their new console/handheld. They want something at least close to X1/PS4 levels or else you get the "lazy 3rd party port" comments.

Now you only have to factor in the developers:

if AmountOfWork <= 0
WRITE PortToSwitch

else
DROP 3rdPartySupport
