The DS4, Switch everything, and Xbox (unless you pay 150) can't use 2/3rds of the controller buttons without sacrificing control of the sticks. It's retarded.

The real answer is they don't think Lawbreakers is going to do well, and investing in a Nintendo version will only put the company further into the red. The game isn't looking to good and there's no pre-release hype behind it.

Isn't it funny how that is always the answer? It's always people on the verge of bankruptcy laughing at the idea of publishing on Nintendo consoles, same thing happened with Titanfall 2. Successful companies are always polite.

The touch pad is effectively the select button, or in the case of the joy cons, minus button. I doubt they require you to swipe on the damn thing for the game, there are hardly any first party games that do that.
>>
>>384009635
The touchpad also functions as a clickable button

The only way this could be true is if it uses multiple inputs with the touchpad, which means Xbox wouldn't work. Otherwise, he's a fucking liar and a dumbass on top of that.

It's probably the lack of analogue triggers and the touchpad that's making up the difference. The touchpad can act as 4 buttons as well as having slides and flicks and shit.

And the xbox controller then? But seriously, if a shooter ever needs all those buttons, you've gone and fucked up.
>>
>>384009589
But why?
>>
>>384007914
I think it's less to do with buttons and more the controller being novel. Dualshock is an old design, people are used to making games around it. There's probably this perception that the joycon set up has less precise control which may be true. I can imagine playing Hitman with them.

>>384007914
A lot of developers are coming up with overly polite reasons why they can't port to Switch, without just outright slagging Nintendo.

Like every reason a dev has given has always sounded like a bullshit excuse not to have to say "their console can't run shit with those specs", the worst is companies who don't just immediately say 'no' to a Switch port

like Square is pussyfooting around the idea of porting FFXIV to Switch (like they need that shitty idea on their plate with so many major multi-million dollar projects already going on), when any idiot can look at that game and see, it's not going to happen unless it gets significant visual downgrades, like for fuck's sake they can't even get a rocksteady 30fps on Zelda.

Every single new game on Twitter now gets these chirps from retards for a Switch port, whether it would make any sense whatsoever or not.

From the voices of third party devs:

>Nintendo Switch's ARM CPU isn't powerful enough to handle our games vision. We would have to downgrade how many enemies visible on screen, reduce draw distance for usable objects, and tone down how much spell effects that are displayed at once.

>Nintendos publishing policy for the Switch is more restrictive than Steam or PS4. The licensing fees are higher if you want to make a physical or digital release, there are certain quality assurance meddling that Nintendo does which delays our games, and they don't give us as much developer support or marketing support as other competitors.

>We would love to make games for the Switch, however we fear that they will not sell as well like on other platforms. Nintendo consumers tend to prefer first party games over third party games, this is especially true if any third party game launches near the same date as a Nintendo title. So we must delay our games to avoid that competition or hope that Nintendo has enough consumers that are interested in third party on their console than PS4 or Xbox One.

Why do people care so much about ports at this point anyway. It's a fucking handheld. It should be getting handheld games.
Nobody complained about Skyrim not being on the fucking 3DS, did they?
But that's gonna be slow going because the switch is too expensive to develop for handheld devs.
>>
>>384009065
Except they can't. It's business talk, by saying the hardware is too shit to run a game it would negatively affect switch sales. You don't want to ruin your potential business partners by first negatively affecting them through a dumb statement.
>>
>>384009851
But the Xbone doesn't have a touchpad, and they said they're considering releasing for it down the line. So why the Xbone and not the Switch, of both controllers effectively have the same number of buttons?
>>
>>384012491
Yeah the art style is the same, show me where these graphical changes make the gameplay more engaging

The DS4 touchpad actually has 2 "buttons" inside of it, basically L4/R4. So technically the Switch is missing 1 insignificant button.

>like for fuck's sake they can't even get a rocksteady 30fps on Zelda.

that's not an hardware problem, zelda has been in development for 5 years and made to work 100% for the Wii U architecture that used a widely different language than switch, we are taling PowerPC vs Arm which is like saying japanese and arabic, it's incredible enough that they ported zelda in under a year considering it wasn't even built for the switch to begin with and even then it STILL runs it better whan Wii U.

The gimmick of the Switch, the initial reason it was supposed to appeal more to 3rd parties, was because it supposedly runs any code you put in it very easily without choking, like Wii U did when you tried to port to it.

There's also evidence to support that they deliberately gimped the wii u version to make sure it didn't end up being a better choice than the switch version (due to gamepad focus and two screen function)

This is confirmed. RE7 and Dark Souls 3 were ported just as test projects and worked out well. UE4 even just has a button on it that says "Cook for Switch" that basically does most of the porting for you.

The only people who ever had a DS with them are people who didn't have phones, car keys, or had a jacket with extra inner pockets.

Besides that, anyone I've ever seen play a DS in public kept it in a bag

The switch is pocketable by the same means if you have a jacket with two inner pockets, you just have to separate the controllers and the console

Besides that, I have no idea what your idea of a solution to this might be.

No, it's that your company likely has hella technical debt or doesn't give a fuck enough to do optimization. You just use a third party engine that runs like shit on Switch, use Unreal and 80% of your budget goes to animators and artists, or you have a shitty as fuck custom engine.

Holy fuck. Nintendo doesn't want you to release glitchy, shitty ass code on their console. You are literally saying you don't give a fuck about releasing a well polished product.

>licensing fees are higher if you want to make a physical or digital release,

ie. you're a greedy fuck and you'd rather not release your game and make no money at all rather than share a little more profit with Nintendo and make your game as available as possible.

This is a legit concern, but is ultimately a marketing and ecosystem issue -- on both Nintendo's and the dev's end, nothing inherently wrong with the Switch.

Finally somebody who knows how to interpret bullshit.

Anybody notice how almost zero Japanese devs have made stupid excuses about Switch ports? Because Jap devs are competent programmers and developers who can into optimization and other things.

There's probably more moneyhatting. Capcom's a lot of things, but their engines are straight magical.

Being honest by admitting Switch ports will be inferior is no way to sell a subpar product (or in this case, generate interest). They're being coy just in case they do decide to release a shitty port.

So Sony, Microsoft and Gaben can pay the price but not Nintendo? Did they finish their money paying for the 3DS games?
>>
>>384017380
More like Sony wants to keep MH off a Nintendo platform.

Microsoft and Steam are irrelevant. Do you really think this western push is going to go anywhere significant, or do you think it's just going to be another Monster Hunter game that people that already play Monster Hunter will enjoy?

Keeping a Switch version from cannibalizing PS4 sales is the name of the game, and just putting out some multiplat versions nobody will care about is an acceptable compromise.

The team that does MH is not magical. They stay on outdated hardware (or force it to look like shit on good hardware) so they have less work to do.

Maybe their MTf engine or similar can be called "magical". But definitely not anything MH related.
>>
>>384017698
So Sony can only afford to keep the game off Nintendo but not enough to keep the game off of Xbox and PC? Why can't Nintendo afford it?

Any source?
Or which devs said this?
>>
>>384015617
PS3 is 228.8 GFLOPS @ 32fp. Switch is 393 GFLOPS @ 32fp, 786 GFLOPS @ 16fp undocked.

I'd say MH:W is pretty similar in graphics to Uncharted 3 on PS3.

The Switch is capable of it. Not that I expect people to do Naughty Dog-level optimization, but I think MH:W could probably be on the Switch with only modest downgrades if Capcom really wanted to.

The PS4-only choice was probably to keep dev costs down, as they're pandering heavy to the US audience in this game, where PS4 is the king console. Switch would've been a bad business decision.
>>
>>384018437
80% of Monster Hunter sales are in Japan, the XBone and PC versions aren't going to matter in the grand scheme of things. What does matter is that the Switch is poised to kick the legs out from under the already dying console market in Japan.
>>
>>384018437
>So Sony can only afford to keep the game off Nintendo but not enough to keep the game off of Xbox and PC?
Xbox and PC aren't a competition for MH. A portable MH is a no brainer for the majority audience for Monster Hunter.
>>
>>384018627
So why can't Nintendo afford it again? They were able to afford the 3DS games and keeping them off Vita. After all, Vita-3DS multiplats always sell at least twice better on Vita.

>>384018765
Nintendo has nothing to worry about. If World doesn't become a cultural phenomenon in the west (it won't) Capcom will come crawling back. There is no reason to compete in this.
>>
>>384018959
Ah so another 4 years to wait then. Good investment there Nintendo.
>>
>>384018765
>So why can't Nintendo afford it again?
That's not how contracts work. If Sony paid money to keep it off the Switch then that's the end of it.

At least until XX outsells World.
>>
>>384019065
I don't know. 3DS contract lasted 6 years. And their first 3DS game bombed as fuck, not to mention the last one.
>>
>>384019213
>And their first 3DS game bombed as fuck
There hasn't been a mainline Monster Hunter game that has bombed.

>not to mention the last one.
Cross was just under 4 in sales.

The biggest problem with the Switch is that it was rushed out the fucking door, and launch owners like me get in deep shit that the fucking Nintendo hivemind REEEEEEEEEs until everyone ignores us.

>Had to send in my joycons because of connection issues (if I didn't also get a pro controller I would have been fucking pissed)
>Had WiFi connection issues that I had to buy the little hori dongle to solve
>Now my USB port shit itself and I have to send the console in for repair the week Splatoon 2 comes out, and if I remember anything from when I got my 3DS repaired this shit is going to take fucking forever

Not to mention the damn always freezes 3/10 times whenever I pull it out of the dock and needed forcibly reset, but nope, I'm just lying about my problems because I'm a damn dirty troll and not because I've been severely losing faith in Nintendo for the last couple years and this fucking thing clinched it.

At least you supposedly get a free copy of 1 2 Switch if you have to get your console repaired, so now I have a drinking game I don't need to pay for.

The Switch has problems nobody is denying that, but they're such a minority that they aren't even a problem .The joycon problem was the most widespread one and even then it was that big of a problem and was fixed within weeks. Should there be no problems? Yes. But is it Xbox 360 tier? Hell no, not even close

3G isn't even mainline. It was just a port. The game basically doesn't even exist to people.

And XX got around 2 mill. It's disappointing but far from a bomb.

Every MonHun not on a handheld flopped. The best selling is Portable 3rd, 4 Ultimate and Cross

Switch could handle Titanfall 2. Titanfall 2 only problem is the audio and the devs refuse to optimize or a option to reduce the sound channels even PS4 and Xbox One has those anonying sound crackling.

Because the games it can run warrant it.
