PS5 vs Switch (Immortals Fenyx Rising)

This is why we need one purchase to rule them all. The Switch version looks as good as it possibly can, however your purchase is locked to the Switch. Imagine if we can just purchase the game digitally and play it on either system. Play the better version at home and the Switch version on the go. 😮

I am hoping xCloud makes this somewhat possible. 😊

The problem with Xcloud is then you are using streaming......blech.

It would be great if devices like the smachZ and GPD win were more common place. thats it then. job done. buy it on one store and play it on either type of device.

Hell maybe MS may consider taking a crack at it. a surface gaming handheld PC of some sort. could be interesting. though they would be very tempted to limit it to xbox which would not be ideal.

That Switch version though...

@Pedro: There's just 1 problem and its a BIG one, each company MS/Nintendo/Sony get a cut for each game that is sold on the platform they own. This is why this will never happen.

Then MS/Nintendo/Sony would want more of a cut because game sales would drop, and then devs would add more ways in game to make money, and there is multiple reasons this simply won't work.

And to be honest its a dumb argument to begin with. What is it with you Pedro, saying all games should be on every platform, buy one version play it on any/every device. If i didn't know any better i'd say you were poor and should get a better paying job lol.

The Switch offers GC graphics in the end of 2020. How impressive.

That name change though lel.

Even I can spot the difference. Wow, the Switch version looks distractingly ugly. It’s time for something new. So Nintendo can resell all their classics yet again lol.

Switch games are in full potato mode now.

The majority of games are already on on most platforms and you obviously don't know better if you think this notion is because I am poor. Its amazing how you can put out a solid argument only to follow it up with stupidity. 🙄

Kid Icarus in Hyrule lol.

I don't remember those levels from Breath of The Wild. And why does Link look funny? 🤔

The other thing is that each console has its own unique requirements for licensing and release, and that also costs money, time, and most importantly things that are unique to that console.

For a AAA title, getting a game running on a different console costs roughly a million dollars (outside of the development costs of actually making the game; that's just the cost of taking the thing that's already been made and going through the steps to get it running and certified to release on PlayStation, for example).

Cross-platform purchases would be great, but it's not going to happen.

I want your GameCube. It is clearly a magic one.

No, just a simple GC from 2001. Its always great to go back 19y to experience "vintage" visuals.

I'll be honest, when the video started, I thought it was the Switch version and looked pretty damn good. But then it turns out it was the PS5 version.

Isn't it interesting that someone will actually buys the game on Switch.

It's fine for people who only play on Switch, or wanna game on handhelds instead of sitting in front of a tv constantly. But yeah, it's time for Nintendo to put out a more powerful hybrid.

On-the-bus gamers will

Then you stream with Stadia. 😈

Replied to this thread before. But I just can‘t get over the pink fog the world is covered in on the Switch version 😂

Wind Waker from 2002 looks better 🤣
The Switch visuals were always bad, but now its getting to pathetic levels, literally. And visuals aren't the only thing either. It is most certainly running poorly and have 30x longer loadings than its competition. But the system is selling like crazy, so why replace what's working? Lets all enjoy these visuals in 20fps and 1.30min loading screens 😁

@Pedro: Steaming games bwahahahaha...let me catch my breath...bwahahahaha!!!

Not an issue if you have a great internet, and not playing competitively.

Streaming is here to stay whether you like it or not. I love that its existence upset so many backward thinking gamers. 😂

@Pedro: I wouldn't expect a AAA and/or large developer/publisher to really want this. At all. Too much money lost. A lot of people seem to enjoy having a console/PC (stationary) and a mobile device (Switch, smart phone), and this would essentially halve any potential double-sales of the game.

Independent and "by gamer, for gamer" developers might do this, though!

Would be really nice to see. And who knows? Maybe the future is a bit more open; cross-play, and one-game-all-platforms might be the standard.

One can hope.

That poor part was me having fun, you of all people should know this by now lol.

But yeah the money issue is the issue that will stop this from happening. And as you can see from the thread on the main page here, plenty still double dip.

Sometimes I cannot tell if you are being serious or not. My wishful thinking on accessibility of games is just that, wishful thinking. 😥

Yeah hard to tell whether someone's having a joke or not.

And money wins over accessibility every time.
