Thoughts about Nintendo Switch?

[Judge Rekt]

Well. Since we have Warframe on other consoles and the Switch is now the favorite go-to platform for many people, what you think about a port? Since it is Unreal Engine 3, I see no problems gettin' this game to run good on it. I kinda like the idea, to play on PC and then later on the couch or on the go, for some quick alert missions (if it is possible to link accounts). Have some spare time at work? Go make a w-lan hotspot with your phone and get those blueprint fast, instead of missing it, because you are not at home in time. Switch can make it possible.

Who told you WF used UE3? It uses a custom-designed in-house engine dubbed "The Evolution Engine".

I personally think that not every single game in existance needs to be ported to Switch. It's like the only thing you here everywhere in the gaming scene nowadays - "but does it also get a Switch release?". Kinda tired of that by now.

It's not Unreal Engine, it's The Evolution Engine

-Evolution engine
-No Cross Platform

No, just no. The problem is that youre forgetting Warframe requires a network connection. Imagine trying to play on the bus and you lose connection? It's not possible. Offline games can be fine on handhelds, but if you need to be online to play on Switch then you literally defeat the whole handheld advantage.

And please, when will people stop asking for everything on the Switch? It's getting pretty old to hear the same people say the same things regarding every single game lately. Let devs focus on whats important, and that isn't porting everything to Switch. To make a game work on Switch, it results in the overall quality and scale being tuned down quite a bit to be able to run on the Switch. Why do you expect devs to limit the potential of a title just to fit it on a stupid handheld?

"Go make a w-lan hotspot with your phone and get those blueprint fast, instead of missing it, because you are not at home in time" you alredy can do that with a phone, there is an official WF app where you can do all sort of stuff

Then, I mixed some things up here. Thx for setting this right.

Well, Fortnite just hit the platform and it is Online-Only, too. That you can not play on the bus, is something very true and most users know that. But there are many places people need to stay through the day, which have a w-lan connection. For myself, I always played online in my break at work. Since those alerts are on a timer, this is a very appealing thought for me and many others, to play them anywhere, anytime. As a fan of this game and the console, I just think there is nothing negative about having those options.

My phone tells me, if there is a new alert. But I can't play the mission with the app, or did I miss something?

The main problem here is the controls. The controller layout for a lot of the more techinical moves is BAD. Sprint is tied to clicking in the control stick by default, which is horrible conisdering this game damn near requires you to sprint CONSTANTLY. The melee buttons aren't very good either. And like the othere said, Connections are a problem. It would have to be docked mode ONLY to properly work.

[Mr W]

You can set it up to toggle the sprint so that you sprint constantly with one poress of the controller stick. Docking has nothing to do with whether you are online. I play online all the time undocked, you just need a wifi connection.

worse than "Port to Linux" topics
