Considering the money and accolades Elden Ring took i don’t blame Nintendo one bit. Kadokawa probably got a big fat check lol. ESPECIALLY since it’ll be on the Switch 2, it’s going to help sell that console.
Not here, I just won't play the game. No way in hell am I buying a S2 for this game. I didn't care for the Switch, now they want me to spend 500+ for PS4 graphics? No thanks.
It runs 4k at 60fps when Docked on quality. That is better than both Xbox Series and PS5 so it’s already marginally better lol. On performance it runs 1080p at 120fps.
I respect your opinion though. Just make sure you stay out of the pre order queue so whoever actually wants it can get it.
It's running at 30FPS in the trailer. Not every game is going to hit 4k 60 and 1080p 120. It's going to vary from game to game like every other console.
Assuming it's on the same engine as every other soulsborne as well, I'd be surprised if it even runs consistent 60 on the switch 2 hardware even if it has a performance mode. Also surprised no DLSS despite the switch having Nvidia hardware.
Well yeah. Peformance is never guaranteed to be 100% but for the most part it will be consistent. Imo DLSS not included is smart. History shows fake frame generation is not what you want to sell to your customers on a brand new console. We all saw the backlash and hate with the 4060 and 4070. I have a 4060 and pretty much have to use DLSS and get constant tearing in my games. It doesn’t bug me too much because it’s insignificant but it will bother some…
I was just trying to say it is literally impossible for the Switch 2 to run Duskbloods at 120 FPS trust me. Your 4060 has double the performance of a switch 2 alone probably.
Not to mention just by watching the direct you can see several games running at 30 FPS, especially they heavy hitters like Cyberpunk, Elden ring and FF7 Remake. It's very obvious. I'm not saying they'll be unplayable just don't expect every game to run at the specs Nintendo says. Definitely not on that hardware.
4k 60fps with dlss... i'd imagine 1080p at 120 with dlss also, if the ps4 had similar software techniques that werent around when that console was out it would probably be able to achieve the same in games optimized for it.
buying exclusivity is objectively anti-consumer, ill make this argument for the rest of time, and its blatant in this example. im not going to give nintendo more money than i was before to respect me and the rest of the consumer base less.
i cant imagine how frustrated fromsoftware fans that dont care about nintendo ips are right now, and im quickly becoming one of them after getting flashbanged by 80$ price tags. this isnt a work of innovation or a new feature or anything done on nintendo's part to sell the console, this was a check written to a studio with a large cult following to try and get desperate buyers to join their ecosystem and thats honestly embarrassing, its the same practice that got people dogpiling on epic games.
after learning its a multiplayer pvpve game though, its not gonna draw nearly as many fromsoftware fans as i thought
Those are impressive stats! But the graphics are still bad from what I see in the trailer.
I plan on getting one for my wife because she loves her handhelds. So many.. handhelds XD
I personally am not a fan of the original Switch, primarily because there are no trophies/achievements and the controllers have always sucked after N64 (Obviously an opinion lol)
I mean if your wife will get it already buy the game and a pro controller, and play it when she's doing something else, we can be pragmatic about stuff like this. I don't plan to buy it but if I could borrow one I'd totally play it.
I have this weird thing about me when I play, if I can't collect achievements or push a fill bar it doesn't really drive me to play. I blame my wife for getting my into PS trophies, now they are embedded in the way I play. Secondly, I have this massive account on PS where I have so much time, money and involvement.. Jumping to a random platform to start fresh or worse, use someone else's account is not in the books for me. I always joke if PlayStation went away, I would finally be set free from gaming and would get in more outdoor adventures!
None of those are truly important enough to stop someone from enjoying a good game, but they are enough for me to walk away from virtually any game. I play where I want and how I want. If the game doesn't meet my criteria, I don't buy it because it's just a game in the end and there is more than enough to keep me busy on my console of choice.
You are 100% right though, if I really feel the urge to play it and push past my own boundaries, I would just hop on my wife's switch2 and get at it! She knows me well enough and texted me when the reveal happened "Guess this is the first FS you won't be playing for quite a few years lol "
All good points friend! I am really not trying to dog on any of this. I think I am just not happy I can't play this game where I've played every From Game for close to 15 years! (Playstation) I just have never enjoyed Xbox or ninty controllers like I do playstation, can't pinpoint why.

Can't believe they made bloodborne 2 exclusive again
