None. I never put in doubt what your thoughts about the technical aspects of the port were. Look, this is getting very old by now, so let's wrap this up: - You said the switch was the worst way to play the game without getting into specifics.. |
I got into specifics and elaborated on where it falls short on the technical aspects.
| Vodacixi said: - You reasserted your point by repeting the sentence "the Switch is the worst way to play the game" and then proceeded to show me some portable PCs and telling me that gyro controls are in other platforms as well. By doing this, you made pretty clear that your initial affirmation wasn't just about the technical aspects of the port. |
From a technical aspect it is the worst way to play the game.
It has the worst graphics and performance.
| Vodacixi said: - I said (again) that I was refering specially to other videogame consoles (consoles in the platform sense, like Playstation or Xbox) when I talked about gyro controls and portability. Since PS4/PS5 and Xbox One/Series X are platforms were you can play the game and these dont have said features, saying that the Switch is the worst way to play it is, in my opinion, an inaccurate statement. |
If you feel that Gyro controls justifies your purchase of the game on Switch, then that justifys your purchase. Really no skin off my nose and it's not a bad purchase.
Not sure how many times I can say it's a good port.
Keyboard and Mouse is definitely a more accurate and faster control scheme for twitch first person shooters.
| Vodacixi said: - And then, in the end, after all the discussion, you said "lol, I was talking about the technical aspects". When you clearly weren't. |
That is your false interpretation.
If we go back to my opening post I quote myself:
"If you don't care about framerates and visuals and wish to play it in portable mode, you really can't go wrong unless you get a handheld PC or use xcloud."
Clearly I was talking about it's technical merits.
You are just trying to create an argument where there isn't one.
| Vodacixi said: My only problem with you was that you were clearly talking about a certain thing, but then decided to say that you didn't. And I don't like that. That's all. And I don't want to keep talking about this. It has turned into a very stupid conversation by now and I have better things to do. Bye. |
Whatever issue you have with me as a person is irrelevant to the discussion and whatever issue you have with my postys? Well, apologies, but I ultimately don't care.
I don't take issue with users, I debate the points presented.
| curl-6 said: That's encouraging to hear; I guess it's usually in the last years of a system that it produces its most impressive games and Switch seem to still have a few more years left in it. As far as Switch graphics to date I was quite impressed by Luigi's Mansion 3 and Crysis Remastered. Hard for me to pick any specific future ones to watch atm with Nintendo holding their cards so close to their chest. The next games from Next Level and Shinen should be lookers. |
I don't think Crysis is actually that impressive.
We need to remember... As a game it released on PC and was optimized for a Core 2 Duo+4GB of Ram+Geforce 8800GT @720P.
Consequently, that is roughly inline with the Switch's capabilities.
But what they did go and do is port the game to an engine which takes advantage of the newer graphics features in newer GPU cores and took advantage of newer CPU's larger abundance of threads... So we were able to get a visual and performance uptick.
I used to be a moderator for the Crysis forums and I always believed Crysis (On the original engine) would have been a great fit for the Switch, getting a remastered version on a newer engine was just icing on the cake.
Luigi's Mansion in general has always been a tech showcase on Nintendo platforms, it's the lighting and mapping that really makes the scenes pop... I remember playing the original on Gamecube and was in awe at the visual makeup when I was younger.
I really need to pickup the game and add it to my collection actually.
