Cloud or native?

 

[AV]

That thing is going to look pretty horrible if it's not a cloud game.

I'm sure it'll sell really well on Switch though, imagine there's a lot of overlap between Animal Crossing players and HP fans.

These developers squezee out every single drop and port everything to earn some money

Wtf man wasn’t expecting that! Was going to buy on PS5 but I think I might get it on Switch first. Class!

Throwback to the best ever Harry Potter games being on the Game Boy;

 

[Skifi28]

I can't decide what's worse in this case, native or cloud.

 

[Portugeezer]

Native probably more laggy than cloud.

 

[MMaRsu]

Considering its always online lol @ this

Great, will preorder this too. Thanks journalists .

 

[Damigos]

Thanks i ll just play it on PS5

 

[Nautilus]

Wasn't expecting this!

But the real question is: Is it native or cloud? Because if its cloud, I might as well just disregard this version entirely and would prefer it never existed in the first place.

 

[StateofMajora]

I can't decide what's worse in this case, native or cloud.

Uhh cloud! Come on people wait to even see it before trashing a switch version lol

It is cross gen so it’s not like a port of an next gen only game.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

Is it a legacy version?

 

[StateofMajora]

Considering its always online lol @ this

I tried to look this up but couldn’t find anything about the game being always online..

 

[Belthazar]

It's gonna look like this, won't it?

 

[CuteFaceJay]

That'll be cloud 100%

 

[STARSBarry]

What's your bet its some weird Mario Party knock off instead? Unique switch version

 

[anthony2690]

Maybe this is why it has been delayed so long.

I expect it to be pretty rough on Xbox one and PS4, but switch, oh boy!

 

[AetherZX]

That'll be cloud 100%

It's a native version.

 

[SeraphJan]

I'm really curious how are to going to pull this off on Switch

 

[.Pennywise]

To the people saying this is impossible to pull off in a switch. I'll just remind you that this game is cross-gen, and Switch had the likes of The Witcher 3 in it, natively.
Looking like absolute shit, yeah, but it's totally doable, and Ninty fans love their full price games looking and running like trash, so it won't be a problem.

 

[Fbh]

Unless they make a custom version with more stylized visuals this is going to look so fucking bad on Switch.

I just hope it doesn't end up being a buggy mess.....which is often the case with these big ambitious games when they try to launch simultaneously on like 8 different platforms.

 

[Dr.brain64]

I'm surprised lol!

 

[daclynk]

WAIT! is this an unreal 4 game?

 

[GymWolf]

Maybe they can simulate wand movements with the joycons...

Expellidriftus!

 

[fart town usa]

Wonder if it'll be one of these deals....

 

[Pagusas]

 

[jufonuk]

Wonder if it'll be one of these deals....

yeah but dead space on Wii was legit great

 

[fart town usa]

yeah but dead space on Wii and as legit great

Yea, I'm not implying it's gonna be shit on Switch. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Dead Space was an on rails shooter though. Chop Till You Drop was a complete rebuild of Dead Rising built through the RE4 engine. It's a fascinating game, glad I own a copy.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

So it won't be always online right ?

 

[CamHostage]

Avalanche Software has a decent reputation of tech accomplishments (Hogwarts has taken their time lately and the Cars 3 game wasn't special AFAIK, but they made that impressive Toy Story 3 back in the day which led to Disney Infinity.) I feel like they could pull this off running okay.

My concern is more just the asset density and character variety, as Switch publishers tend to cheap out on cartridge space. It's already a hard-enough port, and if WB Games tried to squeeze this onto a 16GB cart, that'd be a problem on top of a problem.

WAIT! is this an unreal 4 game?

Yes, Hogwarts Legacy is being made with Unreal Engine.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

More proof of why I need to keep my expectations low. If the switch can run this game the scope probably smaller than most are hoping for. Can only be pleasantly surprised at this point. Expecting a 70ish game.

 

[CatLady]

Personally, I'm getting it on my Series X but I'm happy that players that are Switch only will get this game too.

 

[Lognor]

Makes perfect sense. This will do gangbusters on Switch. Doubt that it's a cloud version.

 

[AlexxKidd]

Actually looks a little better than I thought it would.

 

[kraspkibble]

well it is basically just a PS3 game, right Airbus Jr ??

 

[Pagusas]

Actually looks a little better than I thought it would.

Yeah, really surprised they were able to get a normal Era poster's likeness for the portrait.

the switch is perfectly capable of running large open world games. the resolution/framerate and textures might be shit but it can do it.

 

[samoilaaa]

So it won't be always online right ?

its doesnt have any online aspects why would it be always online ?

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[Robb]

Neat, I’m kind of excited to see how bad it’ll potentially look compared to the other versions.

Hopefully it’s not a cloud-game.

 

[Astral Dog]

Very impressive they are making a Switch version, of course some gamer warriors will laugh at it, but its cool for everyone to be able to play this game on their system of choice!
if it can be done and makes money, why not?

 

[Oberstein]

If they can run The Witcher 3 on Switch, they can do anything.

 

[StateofMajora]

Why are people acting like this is crysis 4 or something

Do you all know how many unreal 4 titles are already on switch lol

 

[fart town usa]

Just wanted to add that scene to your post, for effect and all. Seemed fitting.

 

[adamsapple]

"They" ran TW3 on Switch.

But "they" couldn't run PS2/3 ports of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5 on Switch native.

It's a mixed bag what they can do.

 

[The_hunter]

It's gonna look like this, won't it?

 

[RoadHazard]

Not a super ambitious game then, unless it's a cloud version (I would personally never, ever "buy" a game I could only stream, but to each their own).

 

[MP!]

How is amazon gonna ship this boxed cloud version?
I think it's clear this is a native port

 

[Deerock71]

Ehhh...someone needs to tell EA they own the Madden license and there's about 106-ish million screens they haven't put it on.
