who cares how it looks? The game itself while they have problems are fun and that's the only thing I care about. Just give me Jeff so I can swanton :D

Yeah you're right but I don't just mean graphically, usually has less features and more glitches than the other versions. But you never know. 

We do know what the developer has said which, as posted earlier in this thread, is that the game is fully featured.

They showed no gameplay? And WWE games have always looked bad on Nintendo platforms. I wouldn't get TOO excited yet.

What in the world? Where were you during the Gamecube era?

PS2

Gamecube

PS2

GC

You really should give a look back over the 4 rather great WWE games on the GC before you make such a statement.

Unless you mean last gen and comparing port for port of the Wii games Vs the PS3 titles? Yeah, CELL vs an overclocked GC processor, that was a fairly bad comparison to be fair.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

And the power difference between PS4 and PS4Pro and Xbox One X to Switch isn't a similar case to Wii and PS3? I guess you didn't really think about that one. 

Modern day WWE games look terrible on all platforms though imo.

The gap between PS4/Xbone and Switch is considerably smaller than the gap between PS3 and Wii.

Not at all, the Wii was basically a GC CPU packed in with another coprocessor who mostly handled the I/O of the Wiiremotes if I recall correctly.

The Wii is a might fine machine capable of a massive 12 GFLOPs of power with 88MB of ram

In comparison to the Xbox 360s - 240 GFLOPs with 512MB

That's a 20x difference in CPU power and almost 6times the amount of memory, not to mention in every other way that it beats it around the place.

If you look at the Wii-U GFLOPs which comes in at 350 and consider that to be under what the Switch is packing given the ability to run games from the Wii-U at 1080p rather than 720p such as MK8D even comparing that to the insane 6teraflop X1X is a 17x difference in processoring power, but really those WWE games are unlikely to have 4k assets and much focus on 4k so you're looking at a comparison to the base systems which would be in the 1.5teraflop range giving a 4x difference in power from Switch / PS4, as well as the Switch having 4gb of ram in comparison to the ps4/X1's 8gb. they're a whole lot closer now than the Wii was to the HD twins.

Sorry there above using the WiiU numbers, had a look about but couldn't find the Switch figures, like I said, just going from the WiiU's power from the way it handles WiiU software.

There is still a considerable power difference, which is even greater now thanks to XBX and PS4P, also the WWE 2K games already look terrible. Given the power difference I really don't think the switch version will look good in comparison given the talent of the devs. Or at least the focus in that department.

Makes a lot of sense. Nintendo's systems tend to be popular with kids which is probably the biggest market for these games. And since most matches in these games can be completed in 5 minutes or less, portability is a good feature.

It's launching the same day which is a good start. If the game isn't missing tons of features, it'll probably do pretty well, especially with less competition atm. Wouldn't be surprised if it outsells the XBone version.

WWE 2K17's Stephanie McMahon:

XBX and Pro won't be the baseline for WWE though, the standard models will, and while they are indeed more powerful than Switch, it's nowhere near the massive power divide we saw in the 7th gen.

That's not to say the Switch version will necessarily look good, (crickey that chick is ugly) but it's far from another Wii/PS3 situation.

Unforuntately it's one of many examples. They really don't care the games are filled with models like that and the game is buggy as ever. Which was my main point, I can't see this running and looking decent on the switch due to the devs.

Jesus christ that model of Stef could run on the Gamecube :D
