Pretty much.

Downgraded.

This. But still beautiful I'd say. Unreal Engine should scale pretty well on Switch since the 4.16... But I guess you would still need a lot of tweaking to keep the graphics and arts at great standard.
Can't wait for them announcing a PC version.

 

[faint.]

How does one clarify a previously stated comment with the exact same comment?

 

[LewieP]

I don't really understand why publishers aren't capable of communicating platform plans for games in a clear and concise manner.

 

[Lifeline]

Clarification sounds like he confirmed a PC port and unconfirmed the Switch port.

 

[zelas]

This just says the exact same thing as the original interview...?

Yes, pretty much. It just removes the speck of hope people ran wild with.

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

How does one clarify a previously stated comment with the exact same comment?

His original comment still stands but he is clarifying mistranslations, it's a pretty simple idea to grasp.

 

[gtj1092]

On gaf sure, but the wiiu was a bomba so it just seemed like die hards begging for content. Switch is a bigger hit then anyone really expected at this point and I imagine stock holders are probably gonna start asking developers behind close doors "...why aren't we putting more games on switch?". This will be especially true of publishes/developers who made significant money off of the ds/3ds/psp/vita.

How many major 3rd party games did 3DS get? The switch is a successful Nintendo handheld like all the rest before it.

 

[BasilZero]

PC is more of a possibility but even that is very low chance considering there hasnt been a KH game released (mainly due to Disney being against digital copies of the game right I think?).



Hopefully that changed since KH 1.5+2.5 and KH 2.8 are available digitally on PS4.

It's less about mistranslations and more about people reading too much into words.

And a home console.

I'd say the chances are fairly high.
First, this hasnt prevented from KH3 coming to Xbox One.
Second, their stance on digital has changed.
More importantly, Nier Automata has sold over 500k on Steam. Considering KH3 is on UE4, a port is trivial and the sales would likely be there.

 

[brawly]

PC is more of a possibility than Switch.

How's that FFXV port coming along? Semi-serious

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

How's that FFXV port coming along? Semi-serious

Give them a couple more years. Maybe it will be out when FF7R comes out.

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

PC port seems possible.

Switch port seems less so considering how much things would be pared back. I'm not sure they'd want to undermine the visual integrity of the game to such a degree. Surely it could happen -- Borderlands 2 ran on the Vita, but it wasn't a particularly elegant solution.

 

[GhostTrick]

Yeah, I mean, the game isnt even close to completion yet. They're still releasing missing content and restoring gameplay stuff.

 

[NSESN]

It will all depend of how easy the port will be. I doubt they care about visual downgrades when they can just sell it on portable factor.

 

[Kyzer]

Would that game even run on switch?

yes, just not nearly as beautifully

 

[Rncewind]

Would that game even run on switch?

every game can run on switch

just make downgrade the resulution, based gaf

 

[prudislav]

How's that FFXV port coming along? Semi-serious

casually hinted at every now and then .... but this is SE ... they do stealth releases for PC ports

 

[QuackkAttack]

His clarification comes from translation issues.

He was translated to English for IGN's interview, then that was retranslated to Japanese.

This was originally in Japanese and translated back to English so we can understand, so yes it's probably going to read the same to us.

 

[DalikSkywing]

FFXV PC will be announced on gamescom 100%.

 

[NoName999]

So Nintendo puts Cloud in one of their games, but get nothing in return?

Gee thanks :/

Only the Switch is more capable compared to the current gen twins than the Vita was compared to the last gen twins...
Borderlands 2 didn't even run at the max frequencies the Vita supports, and homebrew overclock tools (That only make it run at the higher Sony-approved frequencies, much like the New 3DS overclocks) improve the game significantly.

 

[AlexFlame116]

???? Is Kingdom Hearts 3 even that demanding compared to other games on Switch?...?

Heck, the KH collection can definitely work on Switch.

Have you seen dat grass?

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

So Nintendo puts Cloud in one of their games, but get nothing in return?

Gee thanks :/

They got Cloud in one of their games, why does it have to be more than that?

 

[QuantumBro]

It would've just been easier and more accurate for him to laugh at the question.

So Nintendo puts Cloud in one of their games, but get nothing in return?

Gee thanks :/

It's not Squares fault Nintendo can't release a console that'll run their games.

 

[family_guy]

So Nintendo puts Cloud in one of their games, but get nothing in return?

Gee thanks :/

They got Cloud and the money from the DLC?

 

[Mariolee]

I'll eat crow now that it's cleared up that he didn't single out the Switch in his original statement.

 

[jimmypython]

Tabata: Switch is not possible
Tabata: We need to do PC version right

 

[badcrumble]

Bring me Mushroom Kingdom Hearts, Nomura.

Yeah. If your going to do anything on the switch make it a nintendo version of kingdom hearts. Nintendo and disney characters . Not a port.

y'all know this was an april fools joke in a magazine right

 

[Azuran]

Why do Nintendo fans love to port beg so much?

 

[AlexFlame116]

y'all know this was an april fools joke in a magazine right

Yeah but I loved the idea of it! I remember poring over the picture and the details.

 

[TwistedFreeze]

Why do Nintendo fans love to port beg so much?

Should no one ever ask for games to come to the Switch or something? Honestly confused with this comment, especially since fan demand has sometimes actually lead to results. Not saying it'll happen with the Switch for KH III nor am I honestly expecting it but it does show that there's at least interest there and that people want games. Not to mention that it's a Nintendo handheld so at least Japanese third party games do have an audience here

 

[ShemhazaiX]

Why do Nintendo fans love to port beg so much?

The real question is why we bother having a rule about port begging here when it's not enforced
Maybe I just don't know the line where it becomes port begging.

 

[WaterAstro]

They would literally need to remake the game's graphics, and that would take way too much money, so the possibility is one thousandth of a percent to zero.

 

[SciencePilot]

It seems pretty silly to interpret the original statement as anything more than a generic PR non-answer. Devs always say things like that and it never means anything concrete.

 

[GhostTrick]

The real question is why we bother having a rule about port begging here when it's not enforced

The line is when you derail a thread with port begging.

Going to a game thread about new trailer and say "meh, shit platform choice, pls come to my favorite one" is port begging. Discussing port in a thread about potential port isnt port begging.

 

[jooey]

let me clarify my non-answer with a non-answer with more words in it

 

[MAtgS]

Would that game even run on switch?

Well Snake Pass runs on Switch and that has a worse resolution on PS4 thn 0.2 did and was developed by incomplete UE4 tools at the time. So 0.2 theorically could.

 

[c0de]

Why do Nintendo fans love to port beg so much?

People want games on their system. And variety.
Of course you have die hards only interested in Nintendo's offerings but I think some just grew to that attitude.
Some people know ports are hard due to technical reasons so they hope to get some games although it seems unrealistic.
In my opinion there is nothing wrong with it unless people make the difference from switch to anything else smaller than it actually is or try to argue how easy it is to port games over.

 

[FinalAres]

Well, to be frank, look at the Wii. The gap between Wii and 360 is way, way larger than Switch and Xbox One, and while the CoD ports run at a much lower resolution, with much lower quality textures and lower quality models still held up pretty nicely and some people preferred the Wii versions thanks to motion controls. I feel like the Switch is in the same situation, where people will take lower quality versions of the games for portability. (Not talking about the hardcore gamerz in this forum that only play in front of their 100" TV)

I will be perfectly honest and say I've not played those games. I'd assumed the COD ports were compromised in more ways than just graphics, but fair enough.

I don't really Think SE are the kind of company to release significantly graphically downgraded versions of their premier titles, but we're talking about what's possible, not what's likely to happen so again. Fair enough.

 

[Drilbit777]

I think kh3 could happen on switch sometime in the future. The audience is there and they'd have to scale back a bit but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

Im still waiting for FF XV to come out on Steam.

 

[Ajszenk]

I hope people aren't holding their breath for this one

 

[badcrumble]

Why do Nintendo fans love to port beg so much?

Eh, it happens with any platform people are anxious about. GAF's even got a pretty loud PS Vita community that asks for anything and everything to get a Vita port. It's pretty entertaining.

Expect it to quiet down once the Switch has been on the market for a year - it's set up to have a perfectly healthy ecosystem once the 3DS is retired. There's no special chemistry between Nintendo platforms and the KH franchise that makes them an especially good match for each other unless you're both doubling down on the harmful (imo) stereotype that nintendo platforms are for kids(tm) and also engaging in the deeply incorrect belief that Kingdom Hearts is a franchise people can just safely jump into with any entry (good lord no, even though it probably *ought* to be that way).

 

[EekumBokum]

Why do Nintendo fans love to port beg so much?

This is the only acceptable KH3 thread to port beg in since it's about ports in the first place. However, port begging in the Toy Story trailer thread for example wouldn't fly. Or at least it shouldn't.

 

[QuantumBro]

Why do Nintendo fans love to port beg so much?

Can't blame them for wanting games to play.

 

[Astral Dog]

One question pls, how much does the remastwr of Kingdom Hearts holds up? Is it comparable to the slow hours of KH2 opening?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Why do Nintendo fans love to port beg so much?

But Game X is perfect for the Switch!

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]
