Support NeoGAF

[Easy_D]

How on Earth is this gonna run on the Switch? Is there secret sauce involved? Does this dev *not* have a devkit and thus, are not privy to the specs and as such produced a trailer well beyond the system's capabilities?

Edit: Oh, literally answered in the tweet. Lol.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I think it'll be a scam the moment they ask for money, not before. Which could easily be coming soon.

Maybe scam is not the word, but a Sadness 2.0 situation. Some things never change with each Nintendo hardware, starting to the dissapointing specs and the vaporware software by wannabe indie studios.

 

[kanuuna]

I don't often get ticked off by music, but holy crap that is the most generic royalty free music to accompany a trailer.

 

[LordKano]

Ouch, this is a dark day for Nintendo fans.

Well, we had a bunch of good days these past weeks, sometimes reality has to call back

 

[Sendou]

This was completely obvious. Wasn't it a bit strange this one title could be revealed as a Switch exclusive right now when nobody else can talk about their games? Not even the games that were shown in the teaser trailer lol.

*Switch exclusive
*Running on PC

[Piers]

I wonder if the devs will secretly shift this onto PC/XB1/PS4.

 

[KooopaKid]

I do not believe this game will be good.
I do not believe this game will look like that.
I do not believe this game will see the light of day.

 

[Werd]

The dog animation reminds me of my dog with numerous hip/knee problems.

 

[Carlius]

Kind of pointless to release that video, the game might end up looking totally different on the switch hardware

parity.

 

[Snefer]

well, pretty much everything that looked good there looked like stuff from the unreal marketplace or from the Kite demo

 

[GAMETA]

Wait what, they still don`t have a devkit? 0__0


KIMISHIMA, DROP THE BOMB!

 

[cireza]

Sadness.

Can't follow you on #1 and #3, but agree 100% with #2.
I personally despise seeing footage of a game on a platform other than the one youre selling to me.

 

[ghibli99]

Weak. So, was this some kind of ploy to try to get Nintendo to bump them up in the devkit queue?

 

[udivision]

Sadness.

Every Nintendo console launch is the same thing isn't it, lol.

But I guess we still remember the "game" that was Sadness, all these years later, so good job I guess.

 

[Sendou]

Wait what, they still don`t have a devkit? 0__0

I don't think you're going to have dev kits if you're a studio with 0 shipped games. If that's not the case then hook me up Nintendo ��

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

They're probably targeting the specs listed in that other thread going on here lol

 

[Oddduck]

The animations and framerate look rough, and that's the PC version.

Can't imagine how much worse it would look on Switch.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Damn those people interested in games for a new console.

I think the "issue" here is that this team is very blatantly trying to get extra coverage by saying their game will be Switch exclusive. The fact that they're showing off footage running on a PC and they don't even have a dev kit yet suggests they're not doing it for any other reason. It would be one thing if they were officially supported by Nintendo but that doesn't seem to be the case. All power to them to try to get the word out at whatever means possible, but it still comes off as a little opportunistic and an attempt to take advantage of people desperately wanting to know what games will ultimately be on Switch and what it's capabilities really are.

 

[Mokujin]

Not interested in concept trailers not in final hardware...

 

[BY2K]

Is that why there's quotation marks around "Trailer"?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Screenshot of the actual Switch version

Fuck me lol

 

[Shaanyboi]

Feel like they gave away the big twist in the trailer....

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Help me out, GAF, why is this trailer reveal big deal? Should I have heard of this game before today?

 

[10k]

Lol.

 

[maquiladora]

Framerate needs...work.

 

[Wandering Robot]

All righty, then. More Switch drama less than a month out. The next few weeks are gonna be great. :')

Wait what, they still don`t have a devkit? 0__0


KIMISHIMA, DROP THE BOMB!

Perfect.

I hope nobody gives this project a cent until there's something honest and concrete in place. It's a pretty "trailer," but there's no substance so far.

 

[7roject28]

If that was running on a PC then they must have a crappy computer if the frames are that bad.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Help me out, GAF, why is this trailer reveal big deal? Should I have heard of this game before today?

A switch exclusive was just announced that looks way better than what the console is actually capable of, turns out that's because it was on PC and the devs don't even have a devkit yet so it seems disingenuous at best and false advertising at worst.

If that was running on a PC then they must have a crappy computer if the frames are that bad.

On a technical level they absolutely loaded the level up with a ton of performance intensive features. If you're talking about the animation, that's what unfinished game animation looks like when a game is really early in development.

 

[Jackpot]

I think it'll be a scam the moment they ask for money, not before. Which could easily be coming soon.

I wouldn't say scam but definitely a bedroom artist. And any requests for money won't be properly costed or secure enough to be worth donating to.

 

[fernoca]

*Switch exclusive
*Without a Switch dev-kit

-How to get one minute of fame.

Fix'd.

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

Definitely a case of seeking fifteen minutes of fame by bending the rules at best and outright lying at worst. Investigative articles have revealed that this game was rejected by Nintendo. That's why they don't have a Switch dev kit i.e. this game is categorically not a Switch exclusive. Nintendo were shown the game and didn't want it. They're just using the Switch name to gain attention. Everyone saying this game would be overlooked if it was in development for PS4 or Xbox One are on-point. No one would care if it wasn't for the Switch name. It's marketing genius really - but something tells me Nintendo might be coming down hard on them in the near future.

This is not a Switch exclusive. Nintendo rejected the game. From what we know there is no exclusivity agreement with Nintendo whatsoever.

 

[Kouriozan]

I wonder if the devs will secretly shift this onto PC/XB1/PS4.

It'll go back to being a vaporware and suddenly reappear with whatever new console that'll be revealed in the next few years, without much progress made.

 

[DoubleYou]

Looks cool. Definitely interested.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Wow this new Switch exclusive is looking like Uncharted 4 levels of graphical fidelity. I guess the specs are more powerful than we thought, huh. What now, naysayers and trolls

 

[bethore]

Anybody else feel that they HAD to show this because it was leaked by Laura Dale? This game is clearly not ready to be shown, but since pictures were leaked they were sort of forced to show it.

 

[benbeaux]

Its environments look interesting enough, and quite pretty at that. Character models and animation look incredibly early/rough however.

I'm interested to see where this goes, but It's not the kind of game that I feel the need to get day one.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Lol stop.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Yeah looks like they were forced. Will probably be pretty similar to the Switch release if they are running it on dev kits.

 

[Guymelef]

Controlled leak more likely.

No. It seems Like LKD and these guys cooperated on this "leak". Pretty gross if true imo.

 

[Wikzo]

Sadness.

Wow, I completely forgot about that game until now ...

 

[True Fire]

These devs have no shame. I hope they get the Hello Games treatment when the actual game has 0 foliage and a 600p resolution.

 

[maquiladora]

Wow this new Switch exclusive is looking like Uncharted 4 levels of graphical fidelity. I guess the specs are more powerful than we thought, huh. What now, naysayers and trolls

Uh huh...

 

[Piichan]

This looks like shit. A developer trying to make use of Switch hype to promote their bad game.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

I was like, "this looks pretty good for a Switch game"

Then I realized it was PC footage.

Lol

 

[Blam]

Lmao if this is the PC version then it's laughably bad.

 

[Plum]

I almost feel sorry for the devs that their trailer comes out just after it's been practically confirmed that the Switch is nowhere near powerful enough to run the game, but only because the premise sounds decent.

 

[Super_Cobra]

That looks bad but they still have time to polish.
