@dushness: I think, from what I've seen visually it's pretty much identical to the PS5 version, just with a bit duller color saturation, which is common with multiplatform games for some reason (which some like and some don't). However as usual the Series X version has a slight performance advantage, framerate-wise.
I wonder if Fortnite players ever stop and wonder how much time they could be playing and enjoying GOOD games instead of wasting hours of their lives on this garbage...
As a lifelong Nintendo fan from the NES to the Switch, seeing this makes me super happy. The GameCube era was a bit bleak, being that Nintendo finished 3rd and more surprisingly behind the new kid on the block (Xbox). But the GameCube was still awesome and had very good 3rd party support. Then the biggest comeback imaginable (at least at that time) with the Wii. I know a lot of hardcore gamers hate it, but it, along with the DS brought Nintendo back from the brink. Then the disastrous Wii U era. That was an overall depressing time as a Nintendo fan, even though there were some gems on the system as well as the incredible 3DS. But then comes the Switch and the biggest turnaround / comeback of ALL-TIME and BOOM! Nintendo are on top again and thriving!
Is the Switch my main gaming console? No. And for some of us older Nintendo fans, that's a tough thing to accept or grapple with. With the NES, there was NO competition. With the Super NES, yes the Sega Genesis was great competition but at the end of the day the SNES was the better system. Point is back then you could ONLY have a Nintendo console and it ticked all the boxes. But the reality ever since then is if you're a true gamer, you HAD to also buy a PlayStation or Xbox to play all the great stuff that was missing on Nintendo machines. I think for the vast majority the Switch has almost become like the Game Boy as a secondary portable machine to their main console or PC. I think Nintendo should stick to the same game plan with their next system as I just don't see them ever going back to compete head-to-head-to-head with Sony & Microsoft in the dedicated home console space.
Well if they follow the script of the second game, then DUH! OF COURSE there will be "Furor". As there should be as it was a terrible plot direction to go in the first place.
As a gamer who owns a PS5, XBSX, Switch and gaming laptop, I don't really have a horse in this race as no matter what, I'll personally be able to play any of the games in question due to this acquisition.
However from a neutral honest perspective, I don't agree with it. There's a difference between your own exclusive IP, developed from the ground up by your own studios and simply purchasing ENTIRE publishers, potentially locking their previously/traditionally multiplatform titles to just ONE platform. Now before you say "But Final Fantasy 16" or "But Street Fighter 5"...The difference is Sony didn't BUY Square-Enix or Capcom, thus why Street Fighter 6 is not ONLY on PS5 but also on Xbox.
I hope IF the newly-acquired franchises go Xbox-exclusive that they fair better than Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker etc. And hopefully Bethesda, Activision, Blizzard and King fair better than Zune, Beam/Mixer, Windows Mobile, etc.
