Here's where I'm at when it comes to same-day indie multiplats on Switch: I buy the games I want when they release on Switch in order to have a portable version of the game and support indie Switch releases, then wait til the same game is either free on PS plus or significantly discounted on PS4 which it inevitably will be long before it's discounted on Switch.
if a ps4 can't maintain 60 fps on this.. it isn't surprising that the switch version runs better @ 720p than it does at 1080.
Honestly more disappointed about the missing gameplay mode than I am the framerate.
What's so special about time trial they couldn't put it in?Also, the framerate was already known but I like these posts that try to always to put Nintendo stuff on a negative side. "It's the worst version by far" really?
Yeah it's very confusing that the Switch can't keep up with the PS4 performance wise/s
Are Switch eShop games released at midnight like PSN games? I know Wii U games aren't, but I don't know if they switched things up with the Switch eShop. I won't be home tomorrow but I'd have time to play it tonight and tomorrow morning.
When do the reviews drop?
NateDrake said:Quick update: review embargo lifts on Tuesday March 28th at 9am PT / 5pm GMT / 6pm CEST. This embargo also applies to livestreams and video coverage.
I just checked the eShop and it's showing up as March 29th for me in Europe :/.I checked the Snake Pass twitter account and they say it's Midnight (probably PDT).
We get it a day later.I just checked the eShop and it's showing up as March 29th for me in Europe :/.
Actually is there even a 60fps video out there? I can't find any :X

Agreed, or at least give the option to run more smoothly at 720p. If there are two graphical modes to choose from let us choose them.Fine but no one's forcing them to make docked mode run at 1080p. Same shit with Zelda.
I'd MUCH rather have frame rate parity across the Switch's modes than a bump in resolution. I hope this doesn't become a big trend.
That depends entirely on whether those 30 fps are locked and how it runs on the other consoles. 60 fps locked > 60 fps with few dips > 30 fps locked > 60 fps with a lot of dips. At least for me.As someone who's going to buy a Switch later this year, I mean... "It's the worst version by far" isn't wrong by any means. It's impressive that Sumo got the game working on the Switch so fast but running at 30fps with no time trial mode is pretty bad when compared to all other options. The ability to play it on the go is the only thing it has going for it.
I would hazard to guess it would have something to do with leaderboards and getting those working because local time trials themselves should be trivial to implement. It's only when you integrate them with online leaderboard that time trials are liable to present any unique difficulties.
Fast Racing Neo also skipped it's time trial mode on the Switch. Are there any Switch games out right now with a time trial like feature?

It'll be interesting to see if devs continue to run games at higher resolution when docked on the Switch than in handheld mode if they can't get performance to match up. I know I'd gladly take this game running at 60fps in 720p over the 30 fps 1080p breakdown that we're currently getting. Hell, I'd love the option to choose for myself, but that sounds way outside the realm of what to expect...
Going for the Switch version. Cant wait!

AMD Radeon 6870 HD 3GB or equivalent (Integrated graphics not supported)
Sure, but when a game is released on one console the same time as every other console, it's pretty normal to expect parity. If they patch it in eventually, then that's fine.I mean people do understand this game was just started months back on Switch. Might be why missing time trial. It made the launch day though.
Yeah, I'm expecting a patch with the stuff the Switch version is missing. Time trial more seems like a no brainer
So this is like a non-jumping platformer, right? Like a platformer where you traverse the level not by jumping but by moving and coiling the snake's body?
That seems really cool, I don't think I've seen a game do that before.
Was excited for this untill i saw the LBP3 logo in past games.. Left a sour taste in my mouth to be honest. Will wait for reviews..
For those that are interested in file size.
I wasn't even aware there was a time trial mode let alone that it was missing from Switch.
Regardless, I'm mainly curious to see the first Unreal Engine 4 game on Switch, and the price is low enough for me to take that leap of faith. It seems like the perfect title for pick up and play on the go.
Someone may want to verify it, just what I noticed as it's not in the store description on the Switch version, but is on the others.
Weird, it's like half that on a PS4.

Just checked psn and you're right. Listed as 1.7gb. very strange.
