But that doesn't change nothing, why we have so many ports/remasters this gen!? Simply beacuse they are easy money, they are selling and investment is a low.

But evry multiplatform party Switch game is worse compared to PS4/XB1 versions of games (Minecraft, Doom, Skyrim, NBA, Fifa, La Noire, NBA 2K, Rocket League, Darks Souls, RE...are all "worse" games compared to PS4/XB1 version of games), that dont changes nothing.

Rockstar have more teams not just one and they are working always at several projects at once, and like I wrote porting game and deveolping brand new game are totally different things. So they could easily work on GTAV port and RDR2 in same time, same like they were working on LA Noire port and RDR2 in same time, and offcourse that in any case they curently dont work only on RDR2.

Are you trying to say that just because there are a lot of ports this gen (btw, last gen also had a lot of PS2 HD ports too), there has to be a GTA V port for Switch? I hope you're not, because that's a flawed logic. 

And again, just because other studios are ok with launching worse versions of their games on Switch, that doesn't mean that Rockstar is one of them. By the way, Minecraft isn't worse since the update and Dark Souls is a PS3 remake, so it can't be worse than that. It will probably be worse than the other versions, but since they are also developing that game now, so it makes sense to spend a little more to make another version. With GTA V it would be different and you know it.

Rockstar has a lot of teams, but not all them make games and, with the delays of RDR 2, it makes more sense for Rockstar to use the ones that do to help them finish that game. If there's ever a GTA V port for Switch (which I hope for Nintendo only gamers), I doubt it will be anytime soon, if at all.

Comparing number of ports/remaster that we had last gen with this gen isn't serious comparison. No I dont say just beacuse there lots ports we will have GTA5 port for Switch, just that your initial point that GTAV is 5 year old game dont make any sense beacuse La Noire is even more older game and this gen we have tons last gen ports/remasters in any case.

But fact is they are, they launched NBA 2K, La Noire and WWE 2K, those are all Take-Two/Rockstar games, and all those games are worse compared to PS4/XB1 versions of games. Minecraft is worse, it has smaller world compared to PS4/XB1 versions of games, fact that Dark Souls 1 is PS3 remaster dont change nothing game will be more worse compared to PS4/XB1 versions of games (30 FPS). It doesnt reely matter, point is that Rockstar knows that GTAV in full handheld mode would be huge deal in any case and that they would easily have good profit on that game on Nintendo platform also.

Of Course that not every single person in Rockstar make games but they have more teams that make multiply games in same time not just one, same like evre other bigger publisher, and fact is that evre bigger publisher has multiple projects in development in same time. If you really think that hole Take-Two/Rockstar is currently working only on RDR2 you are in delusion. You ignoring fact that they worked on LA Noire Remaster and RDR2 in same time.

Full handeld GTAV would be huge even for people that are not only Nintendo gamers beacuse plenty of people would buy Switch in order to play GTAV in full handheld mode. There are good chances that GTA V coming on Switch and we will probably have reveal buy E3 and maybe even in some future Directs before E3, but at end we can only wait and see.
