A bet has to be based off some kind of basis in something, you don't work at Square, all we can do is look at their current game engines, look at what they are now telling their shareholders, and look at the "OK well what engines do they have right now". FF7 Rebirth is their most recent big release. Could that engine be scaled to a Switch 2 ... probably, yes. So if they want to have their games on Switch 2, which is what they are expressly saying they do, then they have an engine sitting right there that can do it. You may have to cut a few things but it should be workable. Sorry if that upsets you maybe you and the niche audience of people like you should actually buy these games like FF7 Rebirth, FF16, Forspoken, Alan Wake 2, Avatar that are relying on graphics heavily to sell, but you're not that's maybe where you should put your money. Because those games sure as heck are not lighting up the sales charts, turns out you can't make a lot of money trying to sell strictly to 30-40 old farts who are obsessed with graphics and business suits are increasingly running all the big game companies and wanting to maximize profit. Which is actually good for Nintendo, some common sense is starting to filter into the industry. Some people may bemoan it but I welcome it. |
Thought so. That is a clear "no" to the bet, which means you don't really believe it. Cool. :)

and I think games will be scaled down for the S2, much like the Witcher. I fully expect it, support it and think it is a great idea. People should have a choice on how they play games. The entire point of this Square discussion is exactly that, give consumers a choice of platform. I just know scaling down will be more than just resolution, there will be other compromises as well. And that is fine. I expect it, support it and think it is a great idea.
