Support NeoGAF

No wonder AAA games quality is going down the shitter, devs care too much about game visuals and not enough about gameplay.

True. That is also a statement that does not apply to Titanfall 2 in any way.

 

[FN-2187]

You guys could watch the video.

1) It was a casual conversation and he was drunk

2) He was personally disappointed because he was hyped for the Switch but then it turned out it was once again another underpowered Nintendo console that's gonna have no third party support after the first year of ports

It does have need for third party support though.

Titanfall 2 is possibly the best shooter in the last 5-10 years (campaign wise).

I think it's better than Doom and many people put it at or above that level too.


A MOD needs to add "drunk interview" to the title, lol.

 

[Zombie James]

Seems like some devs still see Nintendo as a company that produces underpowered hardware not good enough to handle their games. This mentality by many third party devs has plagued Nintendo since they released the Wii. If you don't want to watch the video, I provided a transcript:

Nintendo releasing underpowered hardware isn't a viewpoint or a mentality. It's reality.

 

[Fat4all]

And that's all he had to say. I guess he was trying to score points with a certain group of gamers, though.

Or he was drunk and had no motive in online fan-wars.

 

[Psychoward]

So I guess I'm never playing tighten fall or any game they ever make

lmao

you guys are acting like he stuck his dick inside the switch and spit on it

 

[Beartruck]

A guy with that hairstyle being a douche? Color me unsurprised.

Also, in the context of it being a portable system, Switch is powerful as hell.

 

[Parham]

I'm convinced most of the people upset by his comment haven't actually watched the video.

 

[Rob2K19]

At least he didn't say "You're going to have to buy a PS4 or Xbox One."

 

[SolidSnakex]

And that's all he had to say. I guess he was trying to score points with a certain group of gamers, though.

HE'S DRUNK!

 

[PAULINK]

Well, he's not wrong. And lol at the salt in this thread.

right, he's just telling it like it is, and people are upset because he didn't sugar coat it.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

This sounds familiar..

Dark Souls producer explodes with laughter when asked about a WiiU version

Mark Rein laughs at UE4 coming to Wii U.

 

[Jafku]

Too many salty Nintendo fans in this topic. What he said isn't wrong. If Nintendo seriously wanted more third parties onboard for switch they would've listened to their feedback. Until that happens Nintendo systems going forward will mostly be supported by themselves and a few smatterings from the studios they have a decent relationship with. No need to trash the series over one dev's comments

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

Perhaps his game would sell on Switch, there is obviously no audience on PS4/XOne for this...

 

[KingSnake]

It does have need for third party support though.

Yeah, it's much more innocent than the OP makes it.

 

[Ray Down]

No wonder AAA games quality is going down the shitter, devs care too much about game visuals and not enough about gameplay.

Looks like someone hasn't played TF2.

 

[Noobcraft]

Didn't play it, but didn't digital foundry praise the 360 version of titanfall?

The 360 port was done by Bluepoint iirc and was fantastic. There's just no money in porting Titanfall 2 to something like the switch because it bombed hard.

 

[SOR5]

Its easy for the average Nintendo aficionado to dismiss this guy as a dick, and understandable even.

But when you recklessly dismiss the wants and needs of third party devs like Nintendo does, there's a point where they're going to laugh right back at them.

 

[Betty]

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

It's simply not worth the sacrifices, it just isn't.

And yeah I do all those things, but 99.99 times out of 100 I am going to want to play Breath of the Wild, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 etc all on my big fancy tv, just like I prefer to do with the Wii U and just like most other people prefer to do too.

But hey let's wait and see what happens, I predict another Wii U situation with the Switch but at least we'll get great games at Nintendo's expense.

 

[jeenaudx]

Luckily Titanfall 2 has both!

True, but this guy isn't the only dev to think like that.

 

[Psychoward]

Perhaps his game would sell on Switch, there is obviously no audience on PS4/XOne for this...

I mean they were forced to release it within a week of Battlefield and Cod, playerbase is still relatively healthy considering.

 

[zewone]

People are upset because he laughed at an absurd question?

Okay.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Jeez
People taking his comments personally

 

[OnionPowder]

This guy said my android tablet is not as strong as a ps4

HOPE HE DIES

 

[Trace]

ITT: Drunk developer gives straight answer without PR bullshit and GAF crucifies him for it.

 

[AR15mex]

It'll be that way until Nintendo goes out of business, too much damage has been done with 3rd party relationships, they will never recover from that.
Even if Nintendo made a powerful console, that wouldn't change mentalities.

I also feel this way, so lets enjoy Ninty games until they last

 

[gate stormer]

IDGAF if people like the switch or not, however that gif alone is quite telling of douchebaggery attitude.

 

[HeelPower]

No wonder AAA games quality is going down the shitter, devs care too much about game visuals and not enough about gameplay.

And Nintendo is so wildly ambitious and daring.

Oh look! Mario can jump!

 

[DNAbro]

This sounds familiar..

Dark Souls producer explodes with laughter when asked about a WiiU version

There it is. I thought history was repeating itself.

 

[Ray Down]

lmao

you guys are acting like he stuck his dick inside the switch and spit on it

Look through his post history he has some gold with Nintendo and other companies.

 

[DSix]

Western 3rd parties are not known to support handleds. I don't get why people deny the obvious: the Switch is a tablet and will get tablet support.

 

[Into the Light]

Can I ask those of you that pre ordered one already:

14 months from now, while Sony and MS are battling for high powered 4k HDR supremacy,

are 3 rd party publishers going to still support the under powered Switch? Are they going to spend resources to fund a game on the Switch?

 

[Mechanized]

So many people personally offended up in here. Jeez. Good thing he wasn't talking about your moms.

 

[Ninja Dom]

Switch is a juiced up 360 and the closer people accept that the better.

Titanfall came out on 360, no?

 

[Bronetta]

Some of the replies in this thread are hilarious. It's like he personally insulted your mothers or something lmao

These next few months/years are gonna be real rough for Nintendo fans, as if the Wii U wasn't already.

 

[Oersted]

This sounds familiar..

Dark Souls producer explodes with laughter when asked about a WiiU version

Mark Rein laughs at UE4 coming to Wii U.

UE4 is on Switch.

From Software is Switch developer.

So Titanfall 3, if the IP survives, on Switch 2?

 

[jeenaudx]

True. That is also a statement that does not apply to Titanfall 2 in any way.

I never said it did, I love Titanfall.

 

[GitarooMan]

Jeez
People taking his comments personally

It's a sensitive time now that people realize the Switch will get next to 0 relevant third-party ports like the WiiU

 

[BigEmil]

He's just joking about and drunk

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Switch is a juiced up 360 and the closer people accept that the better.

Titanfall was on the 360.

 

[YuriLowell]

Should of asked him if he thought Titanfall 3 was going to get made.

 

[nynt9]

You guys could watch the video.

2) He was personally disappointed because he was hyped for the Switch but then it turned out it was once again another underpowered Nintendo console that's gonna have no third party support after the first year of ports

It does have need for third party support though.

I mean, looking at the salty tone of the replies in the thread, it's clear that discussion wasn't going to be happening anyway. People are going to react emotionally.

 

[hanspampel]

Why so dickish?

because it's a casual round and alcohol involved?!

 

[IlSignorCornetto]

Well, i don't see the problem since the franchise is probably dead after the Sales of the second title of the series.
There will ever be a new titanfall?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

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!"

 

[KingV]

The game is amazing...but it's most likely it couldn't run on Switch unfortunately (without big changes/cuts).

I'd LOVE to have a mobile version of it though.

Also pretty sure the game isn't "bombing" even if it hasn't set the world on fire.

Titanfall 1 ran on 360 with a lot less RAM than the switch, and was more complicsted in many ways than TF2.

Switch could run TF2 fine, albeit with worse graphical fidelity.

 

[oti]

As Aonuma pointed out both the Wii U and Switch version of Zelda being so similar was the point of the project, plus it was obviously build from the ground up for Wii U anway. Other than that I don't see much wrong in what he says.

I do wonder though if this underpowered rhetoric coming from devs is really helpful for them. With budgets exploding and even sequels underperforming in today's market. An "underpowered" platform with a great concept and Nintendo's IP strength could do a lot of good for this industry.

 

[Kimawolf]

That's too bad. TF2 has an amazing single player. you'd think the guy would be trying to get his game a second life considering how many people just passed on it when it launched. But I suppose getting lols on youtube is more important.

 

[Quintin DM]

Look I get it Switch is underpowered and probably couldn't handle TF2 (well unless you made some concessions anyway, TF1 should be fine though considering that was cross gen with 360) but there's no need to be such a dick about it. The Zelda example was pretty bad too.

 

[Hoje0308]

No wonder AAA games quality is going down the shitter, devs care too much about game visuals and not enough about gameplay.

It plays like a dream and they prioritized performance. But yeah, it's the devs fault Nintendo prefers weak hardware.
