Far more interested in Overwatch than Lawbreakers anyways.

I sincerely doubt that's ever coming to Switch either.

Neither will be on switch, so who cares.

You're likely correct but if portable Overwatch ever happens, I'm there day 1.



so in order to play that game on the Switch, you'll NEED to buy some peripherals. --- why port the game if the console itself doesn't have a proper controller in the box to play it? That is his reasoning I guess.

See, this is a perfect opportunity for Nintendo to reach out and make a bundle for it. console+game+pro controller. Nintendo needs to reach out and help 3rd party devs if they want games to sell on their system, if they keep what they're currently doing it'll just spell doom. Oh well, another game not going to the Switch.

"u could motion it, but you’re not looking at your screen anymore while you’re playing."


???? That's not how motion controls work either....

What peripherals does one need?

The joycons have the exact same number of buttons as the Pro Controller, the Xbox controller. The only button the Dualshock has that this doesn't is the big ass touch pad in the middle of the controller.

LOL!

Nope.
The Joycon have more buttons if you use two separated.
They have the SR and SL buttons.



This confused me. The switch has the exact same amount of buttons as a XB1, and only lacks the touch pad from the PS4 (which it has an entire touch screen in hh mode). Now if he had specified the lack of analog shoulder buttons he would at least be correct. But there are very few games that something like that really matters (like a racing sim) shooters gain nothing from analog shoulder button (Guns don't fire faster if you pull the trigger further, they either are firing or not firing).

Also the switch pro controller is great. IMO it is better than the XB1 controller, and only slightly inferior to the DS4.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

-_-

The Joy Cons together have the exact same number of inputs as the Xbox One.  The. exact. same.

4 face buttons, 2 clickable analogue sticks, a d-pad, 2 triggers, 2 bumpers.  That's 14 clickable inputs (8 buttons+analogue sticks+4 directions of the d-pad) and 2 analogue sticks.  The exact same count as the Xbone controller.  The only thing they lack are analogue triggers which is clearly irrelevant in this case since Lawbreakers is designed as a PC game first which has no analogue input options.  The Joy Cons also have good quality motion controls, meaning the only thing they lack compared to the PS4 is the track pad (the Xbone controller has neither of these features.

So no, he wasn't thinking what you said.  He was just plain ignorant.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
