THQ Nordic's Development Director Reinhard Pollice discussed a myriad of topics in an interview with Game Industry, most notably their experience with the latest console from Nintendo. During the interview he had this to say about their experiences:

"We've been in touch with [Nintendo] about Switch for more than a year, so we've been looking at it for our current line-up and... we look wherever it's possible. It's a bit sad that they haven't gone out with a more beefy hardware but it is what it is, so we just have to work our way around it."


According to Reinhard Pollice, THQ Nordic has tried to port some of its older games to the system, but the process hasn't been as smooth as they would have liked.

One of the games they ported, Battle Chasers, a 2D turn-based RPG, was a 'challenge'. The game is expected to launch on the Switch in the summer of 2017. The open-world RPG Elex is currently 'too demanding for the system' according to Pollice.

The Nintendo Switch, which is powered by an Nvidia processor is weaker than both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It remains to be seen how future titles will perform on the system with such limited capability. Even with that said, the system has been well received by consumers, with sales of over 2.7 million units since March, and some analysts expecting it to outsell its competitors.

>>382998163
To be fair, Nintendo is pretty notorious for bad documentation and support on their systems and being more open about the system with 1st party developers under them.

That was part of the reason why a lot of 1st party games on the N64 looked pretty damn great, and 3rd party stuff looked a lot more ass.
>>
>>382998089
Maybe when every other devs had no problem (outside of porting huge console games, Switch is still a portable console), then that might not be Nintendo's fault.

So what? Even Disgaea, another 2D rpg that features far more enemies on screen at once runs okay on the switch. I really see why they can't port it besides unity and laziness.

Then again another unity RPG is on the switch
>>
>Nippon Ichi Software president Sohei Niikawa participated in interviews with both 4Gamer and Famitsu. In talking with both sites, he discussed Disgaea 5 Complete and Switch development.
>First, on 4Gamer, Niikawa touched on porting from PS4 to Switch. Regarding that, he said the difficulty varies depending on how each studio approaches development. It was relatively smooth for Disgaea. There was nothing NIS had to downgrade, and he noted that even in portable mode, the experience still remain same as PS4 version.
>On Famitsu, Niikawa explained why Disgaea 5 was chosen as NIS’ first title. Since it’s the company’s debut game on Switch and at launch, they felt it would be a big hurdle to bring out something completely new. A project was therefore chosen which would be smooth to port, and NIS thought it would be better to release its key product.
>Aside from that, Disgaea 5 was originally exclusive to PlayStation 4 and you can play it with Vita using Remote Play, but it wasn’t really a game for a portable device. However, NIS received many requests to port it to Vita. But if there was a Vita port, it would be necessary to downgrade the game. Since there has been high demand for Disgaea 5 to be on portable device, porting it to Switch would be a way of satisfying Nippon Ichi’s customers and fulfilling their demands.
>Famitsu further questioned whether porting to Switch went smoothly. He reconfirmed that this was the case. There weren’t any issues with the hardware, and no downgrades were made.
>When asked if NIS will make more games for Switch, Niikawa responded with a solid yes. The company won’t just make a game for launch and call it quits. Niikawa asks gamers to look forward to an announcement in the future.

So where did all those third parties go, Nintenbros? I thought you said you guys were gonna get Dark Souls and all those other third party games? So where are they?

Or maybe they're all jumping ship after seeing what a flop the hardware is and realizing they can't put any of their games on it without severe downgrades and stupid hardware gimmicks, just like the WiiU.

Boy, I bet you all feel real stupid falling for the same, exact 'omg lookit all the third parties who're gonna be putting games on it!' trick a second time, huh Nintenbros?

Considering ports to the PS3 either didn't happen (rarely) or were blatantly inferior to their 360 versions (very common) for a good chunk of that generation, I'd say they did have some problems.

Literally a unity issue.

The unity switch build is brand new and has tons of bugs. Mr.Shifty Devs had trouble even making a patch because unity has bugged file sizes when exporting to switch formats so a 300mb patch turned into 4gbs

I'm not saying that problems didn't happen, anyone who played Bayonetta was fully aware that they did. It's more of an admission people didn't want to make that the console was super shitty for devs.
>>
It was quite obvious that the Switch simply lacks the power for non-indie multiplat titles. I guess everyone here remembers how Metro was supposed to be ported to the Wii U back then but the developers gave up because Nintendos hardware simply wasn't strong enough. Nothing about that changed.

In the first one or two years after that the system started to receive ports of games they missed as well as the regular multiplats with barely any complaints from developers despite the low quality of the games compared to the Pc/360 versions.
Hell there are developers that lost a lot of money making games for it and still nothing like this.

No it was a flop once it released on other consoles. EA thinks the porting cost is not worth the money, since it will most likely be a flop on the switch too. Simple, or are you too stupid to look beyond your own interests?

The switch probably will get a bunch of third party support given how well it is selling, if compared to things like the Xbone.
But it will only do so when gets advantageous to port games for it instead of using the programmers for something else, which probably will be around the 6-8 million consoles.

But it became clear that everyone was expecting the Switch to bomb horribly.

Nah, i'm saying that steep is a game that most people don,t care about, or else they'd have bought it when it released half a year ago.

>>
>>382998817
Western devs spends too much time coding engines whenever they make a new game, then when a new system comes along and they can't make it perform sufficiently, they blame the hardware for being too weak. It's like when Microsoft blamed ARM for being too weak to run Windows with its layers and layers of abstractions, that they have to change a lot of things. Meanwhile Linux ran on it just fine for decades.

Meanwhile, Jap programmers just start from an empty project, importing existing codes as needed, coding as close as they can to bare metal. Less layers of abstraction means less things to debug when something goes wrong.

>>382999292
Super wrong. Super, super wrong.

It was all about the Cell, AKA Sony's biggest mistake of the seventh gen. The cell is why games developed for the 360 or PS3 were much less likely to cross over, it was just way more work than usual to develop for the other once you'd developed for one.

This is also why PS3 emulation is in shambles and why the PS4 has no backwards compatibility- no cell is a no-go.

Protip: "underpowered" is the politically correct for "unprofitable".
Wii got a bunch of really retarded way out of its league ports because well, it was profitable, even with the power gap between the Wii and PS3 being a lot wider than the one between the switch and PS4 (i'm not implying that the switch is "almost the PS4 power" here, it's not, but the gap between the Wii and PS3 is abysmally large, with shit like having 10 times less memory to work with, not supporting pixel shaders, CPU being 10x slower etc..)

I'm starting to think that this is less a problem with the hardware and more about how developers program their games. I mean it didn't seem to be as big a problem with the Wii because even with the shit hardware in that countless western devs were putting good games on it like Red Steel 2 and No More Heroes, did something happen to the collective knowledge of the industry since the beginning of the current generation?

>>382999709
Actually, the picture is weirder than that.
A 7th gen team would completely get their asses handed by the switch, because for all intents and purposes, it is an 8th gen hardware, but a really, really slow one.
What you want is an 8th gen programming team, 8th gen texture artists but 7th gen 3D modelers to use the switch well.
This is why the fifa for example is using the ignite engine, instead of a PS3 engine or the frostbite.
It is an 8th gen engine, developed for the PS4/Xbone but lightweight as fuck.

Also if you want to know the final result of trying to use a 7th gen engine on the switch, ask DQ.

There's no excuse for a 2D RPG not to run well on Switch when Has Been Heroes, a first month game, runs perfectly even in handheld mode. I wish Has Been Heroes was selling better because it's a genuinely good and challenging game with responsive and equal support from the devs on all platforms.

Ah yes, "i-it's hard to develop for... you see..." the classic cop-out. Any developer who bothered porting 360 games to the PS3 before the PS3's popularity surged who says this about Nintendo systems gets a big fat "F-, you didn't even try" from me.

I bet a K6-2 300 Mhz with an Riva TNT 8MB can run this game at full speed in 1600x1200 as long you code the game in C.

That's what I thought when I read the reviews. But it's not. The whole game has a lower resolution look to it. It's not that noticeable when you don't have them side-by-side to compare. But when you do it's a clear difference in clarity.

PS4 will easily surpass the Wii. It only sold 101 million.

PS surpassed it.
As did the PS2 at 150+ million
PS3 almost did at 89+ million with its very rocky start (stopped counting 3 years ago, but it only JUST ended production. It didn't surpass the Wii as we would have heard, but it certainly came within 10 million of it).

PS4 is doing much better than the PS3, and expected to do PS2-like numbers. It's already at 60+ million halfway into its cycle, and sales are still ramping up. It'll certainly overtake the Wii. I guess around 110-120 million for the PS4.

They won't release the PS5 next year, that'd be stupid. They're dominating the market atm, all they need to do is get a stranglehold on it by getting even MORE hot exclusives.

PS5 will likely be announced in 2019, and drop in 2020. And even then, PS consoles always retain years of support and sales well into new gens. Just look at the PS3, it outlived the WiiU, and got a ton of games well into this year.

sales are going to plummet next year when the fanboys are exhausted and the non-converted realise that there are only 3 games.
>>
>>383003338
Uh sure man, whatever makes you sleep at night
>>
>>383003338
Opposed to the 1 game on the PS4. L O L
>>
>>383003242
All Sony Generations are 6 years apart. Run the numbers. PS4 came out late 2013/early 2014. It's still got 3 years left in it. And that's fair to me. 6 years of solid support is good bank for $300 console.

Not like Nintendo where you get 4 years of support, and many dry spells within it.
>>
>>383003239
>look mom I posted it again...
>>
>>383003338
It's not going to be another Wii U, they've nailed marketing a lot better this time, but anyone who expects it to surpass even the 3DS's overall sales forgets about the modern-day domination of mobile gaming among casual players. I believe it will surpass the Wii U, however.

>>383001726
>>383002956
is it fun game for casual fag who enjoys fire emblem games?
>>
>>383003426
Wii U was an anomaly in terms of support time due to its absolute failure. Usually Nintendo gens last 5 years

Also wasn't the PS4 399 at launch?

jesus you fuck they didnt.Just learn what you read they ran a level of snake pass in week not entire game you stupid cuck fag.


>>383002942
Developers arent gonna make entire new versions because switch is underpowered as fuck.

how do you even know what tech behind Battle chasers you cucked fag

3DS picked up when mobile was booming, I think it matured well enough with the mobile space dominating. I don't think much changed compared to 3 years earlier in terms of mobile demographics

>>383003375
you probably need help sleeping at night if yo're trying to convince yourself that nintendos stock isn't going to dive next year when sales dry up next year.

Never accept "WAHHH THE CONSOLE IS TOO UNDERPOWERED" as an excuse to not be able to make games for it.
That's a sign of a shitty developer.

Switch on handheld mode is literally retard Wii U with battery problems.

nigga nobody is going to care for nintendo switch alone.

if you make game in 2017 you make to be multi platform and port without hassles and shit.

console enviroments and shits SHOULDNT be hassle for developers in this age.
This is what PS4/XBOX/PC/STEAM/mobile whatever fuck its doing these days.

Developers shouldnt focus on making games work on consoles or other platforms.

Platforms should be powerful enough to play their games instantly.

All other platforms can do it easily. Its switch fault being retarded handheld.

As far as I know, that's only true in Japan, and do keep in mind the first few months of the 3DS's lifetime had a vastly inflated price point.

Many console ports for PC/Steam are rushed and have major framerate dips on hardware faster than the console itself.

I hope the person who made this image were paid by Sony. Who would put in effort like that for free?
Anyone who makes shill images for any company and are not getting paid should reevaluate what's important.

>>383003747
Handheld mode is not 2x stronger.

>>383003759
Fine for what graphical fidelity it is giving currently.

If they pushed more then battery would be shit.

they simply cant push their games more because of handheld restrictions.
>>
>>383003538
>If it cant even handle basic unity game without downgrading then it is shit.
You do realise that's because
1) Unity is a shit engine in general
2) The engine itself has only recently been given Switch functions. Meaning its buggy as sin.
Basically it's developer incompetence for going with such a terrible engine and not waiting for a better version.

If you're going to call people out like that make sure you know what you're talking about first.

>>383003906

Unity is not shit engine you cuck blast.

Because it doesnt work on nintendo switch doesnt make it "a SHIT ENGINE "

it is easily best engine for most developers because gives best and easiest tools to create games.

many fukin great games use engine and its pretty cool.

it is not developers fault this shit even worse CPU then what is in ps4 which is netbook cpu.

>waiting for better version
nintendo should have done that and wait for tegra x2.

devs are simply not gonna care for shit console ignore it.
since fanboys are happy to pay 300$ to play only remastered ports from Wii u.

as a developer our game wont coming to switch either, it is simply impossible to remain/look good on handheld.

either we are gonna lower graphical fidelity and objects on screen, which looks absolute shit.

or drop frame rate which makes it non playable shit

or lower resolution which even is not itself enough you also have to do othershits to work.

>>383003975

yes, coding your games in a language which uses JIT and garbage collection is going to have fantastic performance. come on, at least use reference counting for a more stable execution time like apple does in their userland

The switch power difference to the WiiU depends on what you do with it.
Basically the GPU is not faster but smarter and able to deal with more complex loads.
Zelda Botw gets almost no boost because it is basically a DirectX9 tier game, but FastRMX gets a 2x speed boost (640x720 vs 1280x720) because it uses DirectX11 tier effects, that while possible on the WiiU with a lot of kludging, is really, really slow.

Also there is a 150Mhz GPU clock mode that is arguably slower than the WiiU (unless you're fast RMXing a lot then it's a tie), but allows you to have 5 hours of battery.

You wanna talk overhyped trash though, let's talk about ARMS.

so you're trying to infer that everyone developing on the Switch both feels this struggle, and feels this way...hence 'the Switch is dead' again?

whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.

Devs dont want to spend more time and resources on making their games run on a underpowered piece of hardware when they could make one version that works for Xbone, ps4 and PC.

I think what people need to recognize is that the switch isnt a home console, its a portable which you can hook up to your tv. This isnt neccesarily a bad thing (and the system is certainly doing well right now) but you will never get the big 3rd party games on the system, even if it does as well as the Wii.


The wii Did amazingly well for nintendo but had no 3rd party support because it was underpowered, the wiiu repeated that and so has the switch. The switch is a portable however so while it wont get the same games as the consoles it doesnt neccisarily need to to be sucessfull on its own merits, it fills the spot the Vita and 3ds occupied where its not compeating directly with the consoles and has no competition from the protable side.


I think the best we can hope for is a 3ds situation where we get high quality first party games in addition to lower budget third party games and the occational port from the consoles.

I bet it's shit optimization for Switch gpu architecture. Switch of course isn't powerful, but it's strong enough to play Battle Chasers well. They probably expected easy shit port without having to optimize things, but they found out that their code is so shitty that they had to optimize many things for Switch. They mad.

It doesnt run shit on PC or mobile.

If you dont have minimum requirements for engine then go make ps2 games for that system ffs its not even high requirements.

PS4 CPU is so shit it even fuckin sluggish on basic metal slug clone made in unity.

Pro and Scorpio has better cpu even if its slightly.

switch is even slower then ps4.

unreal engine 4 is not best engine. it wasnt a sht thing for most years when indie revelation began.

It is bullshit. Modern game devs are lazy as fuck. You ever actually look through the assets and code for a current PC game? Nothing's optimized, no compression or re-use of data, nada, just slapped together trash. Makes Quake 1's C spaghetti look like a work of art by comparison.

Getting a 2D rpg that probably could have been made for the PS1 with no issue to work on a current gen system should be no problem at all (again, unless you were super lazy during the original development and it's a big bloated mess).

Jesus christ you guys are retards and reason why gaming is shit in these days.

Muh graphic muh looks good.

These doesnt mean a SHIT . All games run on different engines different physics etc etc.

Uncharted games have higher fidelity animations and textures cool but do you even know what they sacrificed for that?
it may not even have half physics this 2d rpg game has. Uncharted games are basically cinematic bullshits. a lot getting sacrified to deter you cucks like muh graphics muh everything.

and not to mention they have entire studio for tech working with Sony to optimize their games.

do you even think most small studios can afford that ?

a lot of shit dying in video games because of you retard graphic fanboys. like even basic shits like reflections etc.

Uncharted is not technical master piece.

Arma is . If I See arma 3 running on PS4 even fucking just exclusive to PRO i would be impressed.

because that shit runs tons of physics simulations and calculations behind .
not uncharted

What you, sir faggot, don't understand is that the only reason the PS4 and Xbone can play PC games without (laughs) "much" downgrading is because they hold the PC back. Games that are realeased on both the consoles and PC are created with consoles as the main target. They has been stated by developers several times in the past -- especially Ubisoft. Now go find a game that is still designed with the PC as its primary target (such as Witcher 3) and then kill yourself.

Because that doesn't matter. It isn't all about raw system power. There is a lot to do with code, compatibility issues, and the way hardware handles tasks between systems.

Porting a game isn't as easy as just changing a line of code to say "switch" instead of "xbox" and loading the game.

No they don't, because they actually get released in the end. For reference, Skyrim is getting a Switch release because it was made with 12 year old hardware in mind. Fallout 4? Probably not because that would take a lot of work to get running properly on the Switch's shitty hardware because it's a outdated home console/good tablet.
>>
>Can't get a 2D RPG running
Without looking I can already tell people are shitting on both the console and the dev for this without understanding why there might be issues.

For one, the Switch only has 4 gigs of memory and a good portion of that must be taken up by OS and state snapshots. A game made up solely of high-res 2D assets could very easily fill up that remaining memory and start chugging.

Yes?
If they couldn't exploit the consumers then they wouldn't release the games in such a terrible state.

What aren't you getting here?
>>
>>383007550
Umm, the PS4 is VERY outdated. Even the best-looking PC games can run at 4k60 for FAR less than $10k. At 1080p60 for well under $1000. Makes PS4 look like PS2 in comparison.

You know what. Fine, let's say they are outdated, that doesn't even matter since they are still powerful enough to get most games is what I'm saying. My point is the Switch is even more fucking outdated. If the PS4/Xbone are 5 years oudated the Switch is like 15 years outdated.

I'm sure there is a lot of poor optimization, but being 2D doesn't magically make a game use drastically less resources. Especially when the sprites are as detailed as the ones Battle Chaser uses.

As a programmer for a medium sized game company this total horseshit. Either those devs are totally incompetent or this is a fake report. The switch is no harder than the PS4 or XBONE to port games to or to develop for. Nintendo's API's have always been robust and there's no weird business when you're dealing with x86 to ARM. All straightforward.
>>
>>383010073
>because of the weak hardware.
Oh it wasn't because of the weak hardware it's because they wanted to make incredibly lazy and gimmicky software to exploit the popularity of the Wii.
And then no one bought them. That's where the whole "no one buys third party on Nintendo systems" meme comes from.

Getting back to the point, they give no shits as long as they have an audience they can exploit.
