| Wyrdness said: They've always been straight talking even when the Wii was setting the world alight they said they had no plans for it where you're getting this revisionist view from is beyond me, Wii U could run Skyrim but Bethesda had no plans for the platform to begin with not hard to fathom. They have done something to try and prove themselves they've taken 3 recent AAA title release which weren't originally conceived for the Switch and have made an effort to bring them over with a solid conversion mean while Capcom are only just deciding to get their act together. You know what PR stands for? Public Relations if your PR is bad you're going to get negative reactions not hard to understand and if you have bad PR along with mediocre efforts you're going to get lit up by consumers. No dude Namco when the Switch was unveiled confirmed a main line Tales game and have released Xenoverse 2 on the platform just last month and have announced 3 more titles are on the way they were far more committed to the platform than you're trying to twist and far more involved in a serious effort than Capcom. Fact is Capcom made their bed and if you have a problem with people highlighting that too bad because it doesn't change the situation even if it makes you lose sleep at night. |
Dude, revisionist history? I've done nothing but post sources all this way through. It's not my fault if you willingly choose to ignore them.
So let's go back to that straight talk you claim from Bethesda. There was a point where they actually said Skyrim on WiiU was a possibility (click on the link, otherwise it might seem like I'm doing revisionist history out of nowhere). Surprise, apparently there were a remote idea of it being there on WiiU, from the mouth of Pete Hines itself. But then, none of that possibility ever came true, with Pete Hines himself, again, disproving the claims and blaming it on WiiU's hardware.
Here's an actual quote from Bethesda VP:
None of the game's we've announced are being developed for the Wii U, so it's guaranteed that none of those games are coming to Wii U," Bethesda VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines told us at QuakeCon, with regards to The Elder Scrolls Online, Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Evil Within. "Will any future ones come out? I can't say for sure, in our near-term focus it's not on our radar."
"It's largely a hardware thing," Hines said, explaining that Bethesda's mantra is to "make the games that we want to make, on whatever platforms will support them as developed." Giving an example, he said that The Elder Scrolls Online "likely would have" been released on Xbox 360, but that it "just wasn't possible" due to hardware limitations. Specifically referencing future announcements for the Wii U, Hines said that "it remains to be seen what the future holds."
But of course, Bethesda has chosen now to support the Switch because they see the potential. Even if they had to downgrade Doom to accomodate for Switch, they did it. None of this effort was ever seen on WiiU though, makes you wonder why.
Namco confirmed a bunch of things, sure. I'm not disclaiming that, but I've also provided you an example of Namco being a dick that you totally glossed over (I guess it's because it's not convenient to talk about it). Three more titles are coming for 2018, but also Capcom has announced that they'll bring titles in 2018, with Ace Attorney being one of them. I'm not sure what the problem remains here.
I don't lose sleep at night, thank you very much for worrying about it. I don't care much about big companies that make more money than I'll ever see in my life. I just find intriguing how easy it is to gloss over Namco's messes up even though I provided sources of them being not so good to the Switch fanbase (neglecting a game that was stipulated to come to Nintendo consoles and forcing their fanbase to make echoes for it to happen, and not porting the huge amount of games they've released this year). Priorities, I suppose.
