With all the chatter going on, it seems pretty certain Witcher 3 is coming to Switch. We'll know on Tuesday.

Conclusion :

It can , but the graphic will make the games look different and unplayable  

Did you even watch your own linked video?  Because your conclusion and their conclusion are not on the same page...probably not even the same chapter.

No, that ain‘t DF‘s conclusion!

He only says that it won‘t be an easy port and that some areas would have to be reworked.

which is the same

You're going to ask me if I watched a video wherein I just referenced a specific time in said video?

OK stop with your circle jerking blaming  me. Let's just start the discussion.  It's  Cleary  Richard said the games will be very difficult and challenging to port and will have massive downgrade , and it will be hard to enjoy . So it's the same with "It can run but it's hardly playable and it will look different " . 

So the question is , do you even try to downplay my analysis ability on giving a conclusion ???

Uh, yes.  Because at the 11 minute mark he referenced CD Projekt Red reworking Witcher II for the X360 with great success but addressing the hardware directly rather than doing a direct port.

But then he said , if it's made by The same developer and do some rework on the engine is still possible but still will look different, then he said again that the main developer is working on another games cyber punk 2077 and it's impossible to do on Switch port. 

And also The witcher 3 to Switch this gen =/= The witcher 2 PC to Xbox 360 last gen. Xbox 360 is very powerful hardware and are in equal terms of power to PC at that time. While Switch is not even a desktop PC level GPU if it's compared with today standard.

Or, it could be completely remade in a new engine? I don't know how viable that option is, but it could pay off.

A port, sure. But start from scratch for Switcher 3? I'm gonna say no. Not viable, and won't pay off.

Or it could be witcher 3 just in old gen graphics, then it would certainly be plausible.
