I have a feeling it will be.  If they used a 16 gig card with partial download for LA Noir when it could have fit on a 32 gig, I don't see them dropping the money for a 64, even if it wasn't delayed.

Well hopefully they at least use a 32GB card. I think they could charge 60 bucks for this game and it would still sell well.

I agree.  A 32 gig card would still justify the purchase of physical, as it would cut the required storage space in half.  What they actually use though is anyones guess.

 

I am with you on the full physical releases though.  I have accepted that the partial install is likely going to be the norm when it comes to big 3rd party games.  It does not mean I am happy about it though.

As long as they stop using those small carts and make u download 80% of the game I will buy.

This turned me of WWE,

Here here! I don't give a shit if the next Zelda forces me to download 80% of the game... I won't buy. I made my idealistic stance on that awhile back and I'm sticking to it. The day I can't go to the store or go online and buy a physical game, pop it in and play is the day my NES,SNES,Genesis,N64 and every other pre-360 year console becomes my permanent playground. 

I just refuse. Absolutely refuse.

I imagine a post apocalyptic world (5 years from now) where everyone is downloading their games digitally while one lone survivor scavenges the ruins of old society (Gamestop) to find the last remaining physical game copies and part replacements for ancient consoles.

Sadly, this sounds accurate...

Real support? or is it the old "support" to help them fund their AAA titles on other platforms again?



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

No Blizzard 😔 was hoping to see a Daiblo port or a Hearthstone game and Heroes of the Storm release.

Isnt Havok owned by MS? Good to see it on Switch

Blizzard is accounted under the Activision umbrella, since they are one company now.

Unfortunately that's not exactly how Activision/Blizzard work. They are very much there own companies that are shared (Sort of) Blizzard would have announced there own brand name with the Switch not Activision if they were interested. They did with the PS4 and XB1 so why not here? 

Activision and Blizzard do there own things. Having Activisons name here only means you will get Activision Titles, really nothing to do with Blizzard games.

In saying all that, it doesn't mean Blizzard wont release games on the Switch it just means very unlikely for now. Times can change.

I hope they do release some of there gems on the Switch because its a great portable device where games like Hearthstone will do wonders on it.

Well in a post apocalyptic world, it will be the people have the physical only games that can still play. The rest of us will not have the internet to download anything. So all of those hundreds of games that we have in our "library" but had to delete to make space for another game are not gone forever. So even though we may have purchased Breath of the Wild, we have no way of playing it cause we deleted it to make room for LA Noir or something.

Meanwhile, the person who purchased physical can pop in all of his collection at anytime. Well as long as the game isn't an "online only" game. I hate online required single player shit.

Can't download games in a post apocalyptic world since the internet probably won't work. Physical games master race :)
