Yeah, that's what gets me each time I see this sort of threat. Like I get that it's ported and all, but it's not as big of a technical marvel, to completely downgrade a game, to fit on a semi mobile device, which in turn has to rely on it's docked mode to output a slightly better image. Like, why are these same people not showing more marvel towards games pushing limits to higher end fidelity and hw?.

Like, I get that DOOM has been ported to an insane amount of devices over the past few decades, but I'm way, way more interested in future tech, better performance, better power, more graphical fidelity, than what we can downgrade to hell and slap on a watch or phone. I'll marvel at those devices, when the day comes that they can do exactly the same thing a higher end device can do, without having to massively cut back on practically everything. 

At no point ever will you have a portable low spec machine capable of the same graphical fidelity as a high end device, by definition those things are on the wrong side of a scale to have what you're asking here, it would be like looking at the Special Olympics and saying... well.. that's all well and good, but I want to see them doing as well as Usain Bolt, then I'll be impressed.

As I mentioned in another thread as well, without even getting into the category of PC's, but Switch is currently the cheapest machine which you can play Witcher 3 on, while it is newer than the ps4 and X1 you can get a Switch now for less than either of those systems RRP, and bring it for a 5 hour shit and still be enjoying Witcher 3. So the reduction in power is even reflected in the price point regardless of the addition of Screen/batteries/portability

Sorry but X1 is almost always cheaper then 299, and even the 199 for Lite.

Next are we going to say smartphone games should receive a pat back because if you buy the cell on a plan you don't pay anything for the cell and you may even have the game for free?

Performance isn't only frame rate. 

So you should be pissed with 20-25fps of Witcher 3.

OK, nice. So I should be pissed with 20-25fps on base ps4/xbox 1 as well?  

If you care about games being 60fps certainly. Have replied this already.

Witcher 3 on switch is amazing isnt it? Ooh werent you one of those who said Witcher 3 would be impossible on switch? 

Again, like the previous time, since when i said impossible? Find that word in my old posts, please. Of course if you can :))

He said witcher 3 would be impossible on switch without major downgrade but now he thinks its identical to ps4 and xbox one just with lower resolution 

Don't put those words on my mouth, or rather, you took it from your delusion dream i see. I said if it have the same graphic settings as ps4/xbox 1, the fps would take a big hit. And clearly here that the graphic and resolution settings were downgrades quite a lot to keep the fps high enough to be the same as ps4/xbox 1 ver (personally, i don't give a crap about high resolution or very beautiful graphic). But yeah, nice try again, just like the last time you tried to use this to mock me but failed hard, heh :))

Having the same graphic would be impossible anyway.
