The Nintendo Switch is not a person. He gave an honest response as a western developer on how he views the Switch as a viable platform. The Switch doesn't have feelings to hurt.
Bringing up sales is not only stupidly and bitterly irrelevant, it borders on the stupid "how can you criticize a game for you've never made one?" argument. This guy works in AAA games, he probably has better insight on the specific question he was being asked than 90% of NeoGAF, yet I'd never hear saying all the complaining and potshots taken at the industry and games on here on a daily basis are "douchy" or out of line.

Some people just want every negative Nintendo thread closed huh? Too many negative things? How about it's Nintendo's fault.
Funny part is it'll probably be closed because of "lol embarrasing"

THE Nintendo defense force is out in droves.
It's funny and ironic their rebuttle is low sales and tanking when Nintendo has been doing that for years now.

The developer's response is indeed dickish, but the question is dumb as hell.
The Switch has a different kind of third party support that fits in well with Nintendo published titles. Titanfall 2 is not a bad game, but I'm getting tired of people asking for AAA PS4/Xbox/PC multiplat X.

Unfortunately, that came at the expense of being heavily discounted even before Black Friday rolled around. I'm not sure how much good that did it in the long run, since it doesn't seem like it's had any real staying power on the platforms it released on. Nothing but bad, bad timing all around for the game.
Loving Titanfall 2 and I wish there could be a way to make it run on the Switch, the only serious dedicated portable gaming machine, but completely understand the point of the Respawn developer.
Hopefully we'll get some stuff like CoD Black Ops II on Wii U which was godly because of IR aiming. We'll have to do with Splatoon 2 for the moment on the go.

Bluepoint could get The Order running on a toaster.
That's not as bad as make it sound. In fact, it means job security in an industry where job security comes at premium.

hopefully they learned from their mistakes and make titanfall 3 more like titanfall 1 but with more maps, modes, and a campaign at launch. thats all they needed to do. They didn't need new weapons or new titans or changes in gameplay. just new maps a campaign and more game modes while keeping old favorties.
this sounds like a comfy gig tbh
It truly is suffering being a Nintendo fan. Pushed aside by third parties, and embarrassed to be bunched together with these folk:

Switch might not be when it turns out to completely lack 3rd party support. Again.
Or did we learn nothing from the last Nintendo console?
You really have no self awareness after that first post of this thread.

As long as Nintendo gets those japanese 3rd parties and some good exclusives I really don't care. I think they'll hold their own as a machine for indies and Japanese 3RD party support (To an extent).
I don't think anyone expected things like TF2 or even the next CoD to be on Switch. And for me personally, I really couldn't care less. The only games I really enjoy from Western devs are from indies. I'm so sick and tired of western AAA games it's not even funny.

Considering the posts he makes its kinda funny trying to see him lecture.
jesus people took this way too seriously I was only taking a stab at titanfall's poor sales.

Sure, the man can have opinions about the Switch, but at least retain some respect.

I dunno, I'm new but an awful lot of obvious and shit posting trolling goes on here, at least since i've been here.
But he didn't tho? He was asked if TF2 would be playable on the Switch, he responded, albeit while jovially drunk, that you couldn't.
It's the OP who seemed most hurt that has everyone confused about what actually happened.
Bluepoint could get a working toaster running in The Order.
It's become quite evident.
And the worst part is that I'm certain that if he would've made a comment like that about other console the answers in this thread would be completely different.
Again, it's not the core of what he says that's douchey. It's the delivery.
For example, if you're carrying groceries and ask me to open the door for you and my response is, "Fuck no. You can do it yourself" while throwing my head back in laughter, I'm being honest but at the same time, acting douchey about it.
EZ Allies were disappointed by the Nintendo direct and brought up a lot of valid criticisms but they didn't get backlash because they didn't do it in a douchey way, even when grading the presentation in the C- range.

He does, but many people feigning outrage and going to personal attacks didn't actually watch the video so

Well, he's not wrong, he's just an asshole.
Meh, whatever.

I really like Titanfall 2, might be my 2016 GOTY (didn't vote this year as I did a lot of backlog games) but there's nothing about it I wouldn't still like if they had cut down the graphics and kept 60fps on WiiU/Switch. There was a passable port of the first game on 360 after all.
There's a lot of cool physical things going on in a game of Titanfall. Titanfall 3 could have been a game to make great use of the HD rumble.

To be fair the thread is about 50/50 in terms of shitposting from both sides.

Is that the reversible cover of Titanfall 2?

How wrong are you, Titanfall 1 had a reasonable bluepoint point, I own the game on PC and have played it on a range of devices. Have you even looked at it's benchmarks? What on Earth are you on about.

Well considering your initial post in here you're not in much of a position to talk.
I think that depends entirely on how much Respawn had to customize Source, which, going by interviews from the first game, sounds like a hell of a lot.

people should watch the video he didn't even come off like an asshole and he explained why

Pretty much, he was on that truth serum. But I wish more devs would just say what they mean instead of blowing smoke up folks ass.

I really think it's wrong to think of it as a console, despite Nintendos best efforts to keep the 3DS alive.

Geez this thread is just straight up embarrassing.
I'm not sure how you could even be anywhere near insulted with his statement.

He's not wrong, but that won't stop Nintendo fans from thanking the gods that Titanfall failed or something similar, just because he said something about a piece of plastic.
