"Dragon Quest XI for Switch delay due to outdated Unreal Engine 4"

*facepalm*
So the reason is they f***ed up by useing a old engine that couldnt support the Switch?

Jebus, and UE supported switch since forever, they shoulda been useing a updated version since then, so all 3 versions could release at the same time..... this is a huge mess up.

Cause it was 4 years too late. The game started development in 2013 and at that point the developers were searching for release candidates which is just a step behind going gold ... 

That's just the real life of game development ...

It could.  But looking at the game, I highly doubt it.  UE4 has exceptional flexibility in styles out of the box and I'm not seeing anything special here.  And again, I'm not expecting magic.  I'm just expecting *something*.  A screenshot, a trailer, an indication they have actually started work.  

And I assume because there's not much other explanation taking all the other facts without breaking out the tinfoil hats and I don't subscribe to that kind of thinking.  And Square Enix has made plenty of bad decisions, let's not pretend they can't be ridiculously foolish.  

How can you say that without actually looking at their code ? And if what you also said was true about UE4 having high flexibility out of the box then why did it take them 4 years to develop assets, mechanics and also required a lot of effort on their engine customizations ? 

You are undermining the technical merits that go into developing DQXI ...
