Launch dishonored in Switch?

[benjamin20104]

I really like Dishonored, but since that I haven't got much time playing my pc, i've not walkthroughed the game yet (though i've played more than 10hours). I'm just quite interested that that if there's a tiny possibility that Bethesda and Arkane can launch this game in switch. The game doesn't have a long gameplay, and the game itself's only about 10 gigaB, and i know there're millions of fans of the game. It won't cost much to put the game into switch.

Thx Bethesda

It costs a lot to port anything over to any platform

It would absolutely cost much.

The developers working at Arkane are not console programmers. They don't have a team specific to the Switch which is what would be needed.

The User Interface for the switch would have to be completely different, the control schema is not the same as even a different console.

That's not even mentioning that the computing and processing in a Switch is likely extremely different from a PC's, which is what Arkane develops for. The program and code itself would be radically different even though the end result would look the same.

It's like trying to make a microwave dinner in the conventional oven. You might wind up with melted plastic and a house fire, even though they both make food hot.

Also, since Switch is a Nintendo system, porting the game to Switch would probably need their consent and input, too. There's no assurance that would happen, since Nintendo games tend to be much more family-friendly than Dishonored is. This doesn't hold for all Nintendo games, expecially in the current-gen games, but the majority of Nintendo games qualify.

I used to believe this, until I discovered Binding of Issac and DOOM 2016 is on Switch.
