Eh. Drunkenness makes you more reckless than you'd normally be, but I doubt it planted those ideas in his head out of nowhere.

This really is like the Wii U in so many ways, reminds me of Mark Rein's comments when that system launched that led to the same kind of bitter backlash from Nintendo fans. "We don't want your stupid games anyway loser!"

I'd love for Switch to get a Titanfall game, but I also recognize that they've got a long road to climb to get back to a point where they can sue for support like that.

It's not a formal interview or anything. The guy's just drinking and nonchalantly talking with other guys about the Switch.

So I think his attitude is fine but he's definitely not giving out some bullshit PR excuse you'd typically hear.

This is a good point. People always complain about how PR always feels fabricated and insincere, but people's sincere opinions can sometimes be blunt and hard to hear.

At least they can produce enough units to meet demands. ;)

But seriously, I don't know why you guys are so upset appart from the fact that it was done with a dickish attitude. I mean, a Switch can't run Titanfall 2, that's a fact. Hell, it took a PS4 Pro to reach a minimum of 1080p/60fps.

This reminds me of the UE4 presentation at GDC where someone mentioned the Wii U and the whole room burst into laughter.

No never did, but if switch surprises and becomes the next Wii are EA going to continue to ignore it?

Also, I don't expect anymore Tifanfall anywhere. It was sent to die by EA.

Reading this gave me a mild panic attack.
I refuse to believe it.

it's true isn't it.

Dang, I've seen nothing but good things from Respawn in how they react to the community until this.

Titanfall is great. It also runs surprisingly great on lower-end PCs. Stop being a dick and make an effort to get your underperforming game into more markets.



Because people only play mobile consoles while walking outside... ? You ever pooped? Slept at family members home? Car trip? Plane ride? Friends house?

I'm just gonna go ahead and say this... But if you have the time to play a videogame while you're on the toilet, you need to reevaluate something with your diet or posture barring some legitimate medical disorder.

He started it by shitting on something I like it was unprovoked Seems fair to say I don't like his company or his games

It was provoked actually. He was asked a question if Titanfall 2 would be on the Switch and he laughed and said no because it was clearly too much for the Switch to handle technically.

He also said he was excited and hyped for the Switch reveal.

And how can you like the Switch so much to get this defensive before you even own it? Christ.

I can't believe some people act so unhinged under the influence of a few alcoholic beverages. I just can't fathom it. And now because of what he said, he's made a lot of enemies for life. I hope it was worth the slanderous talk for a few free drinks, you jackass. This video will haunt you for years.

How can normal posters defend hardware that they do not have!? You would think developers would know more about what is capable of the Switch. And it was not an attack. It was a legit response to a question. I would argue that the developer opinion and response holds more weight than posters defending or attacking a hardware that is not even out.

What you said isn't a transcript tho...?

Mohammad Alavi: ...I was excited about it. Nintendo's been in such a niche market recently, catering to the handheld and the kids, they've been so underpowered that they don't have the support of the third parties because they're all making for the PC, Xbox One and PS4, and it's no different.
Micha: I am going to drink to it mainly because, I understand. It will be underpowered. I'm not going to be play Titanfall on it. Like, can you tell me?
Mohammad: Fuck no! No, you're not going to be able to fit Titanfall 2 on the Nintendo Switch. That's the same Zelda from the Wii U?

After plenty of drinking, mind you. The designer is joking about the idea that you can fit the Titanfall 2 in a Nintendo Switch game card, one that can fit up to 25 GB of data. Titanfall 2 is 42 GB on the Xbox One, at least.

Can't wait to see how many people didn't watch the clip and just believe the OP because he twisted the words around to make him look even worse!

His answer makes more sense now.

OP what are you doing?..

Edit: after watching the video.. this isn't even thread worthy. Absolutely nothing to get so mad about.

TF2 was like 27 bucks 3 weeks after launch.

There is less than 5k people playing on pc right now.

What's that supposed to prove? There are 32k playing BF1 on the PC right now, by comparison there are 132k playing it on the PS4 and another 100k on the Xbox One. Most shooters are predominantly console-oriented in terms of where their popularity is now.

He does come across at being legitimately upset that the Switch is so under-powered and will not have major 3rd party support.
