1) Congratulations, that's called moving the goalposts. I'm talking about the changes to the game that make it not just MH HD, and instead of admitting you hadn't noticed that, you try and flip it into an argument as to why it couldn't be done on PS3 (and by extension, Switch). 2) And back to your clearly desired subject of why the Switch can't run World: there's too much going on at once with too much on screen. While I'm certain you could dial that back enough to run on the Switch, Capcom has clearly decided that the amount they would have to scale it back to would compromise too much of the gameplay experience. 3) Perhaps instead of complaining, Nintendo Hunters should be grateful the Switch is even getting the promise for its own series. It's more than PlayStation Hunters got when Capcom abandoned them. |
1) I'm moving goalposts? Why? And when? From the start, all I'm saying is that MHW is, although a great game, and a surprise, just a MH reskin in HD, with some quality of life improvements, a la Pokemon X and Y to previous generations, NOT the second revelation that you guys make it out to be. I was just playing the game, and I saw the same Rathian stiff 4 angle movement, upwards spin, etc. And it stupidly went up and down, flying, then got tired, got to eat, got really hurt and went to sleep, and I killed it.
Are we really making such a big fuss over the map not being split via loading areas? Or being able to pick up items on the fly? Nice additions, sure, but the same could be done on the Switch, hell even the WiiU, Zelda is a testament to that. Have you seen footage of the new Wolfenstein on Switch? It's an amazing achievement for a tablet, for mobile tech.
2) Now who's moving goalposts? Now all of a sudden the Switch COULD run the game, but compromised? How exactly do you know that? Seriously, just by dialling down the resolution to 720p, lowering textures, shadows and grass, the game could run almost unhampered.
3) I never said anything contrary about your last point. I was astonished to see Capcom ditch the PSP in favour of the Wii / 3DS / Nintendo in general. And it was a stab in Sony's back, just as it is now on Nintendo's. That's why I call Capcom stupid. They're all over the place with their decisions, alienating and infuriating their fans back and forth. And it's not about Capcom doing any favours to the Switch, they simply are aware than an exclusive MH for the Switch, even if it only sells in Japan, is a 3m locked. At bare minimum.
