Is the Switch indie friendly? One developer’s take

CocoaBrother3303d ago

"It’s light years ahead of what we were doing with Wii U.”
Definitely a step in the right direction in regards to development time/restraints

Not really. I think it's a financial suicide for most indie developers to put their game exclusively for the Switch, where the installed base for the switch is basically non-existent. Unless, they are being backup financially by Nintendo to basically developed and create their games for the switch.

"I expect that the new CEO, Asha Sharma, her job is going to be as a palliative care doctor who slides Xbox gently into the night."

LOL

Anyway, let's wait and see maybe Mia Khalifa will surprise us.

I’m on the fence about her. I’ll give her chance, but if she is there to finish things off. Well what can you do.

After seeing the article of the possible sunsetting of Xbox as said by Seamus Blackley I believe, I went onto X because of a post I saw. It was a gif of Vegeta powering up, the poster commented as Vegeta yelling “Don’t take my fiercest competitor away from me.” Standing there in his blue Sayian/Freiza corps outfit. So it got me to thinking, so let me ask a question to N4G.

If Vegeta is PlayStation, who would Xbox and Nintendo be in the Dragon Ball universe?

Who would be Master Roshi?

I have my own opinion of course, I just want to see what others think.

And nothing of value will be gained, because Ubisoft will only Ubisoft themselves in the end.

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

welcome to your average n4g daily user lol

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac2d ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.
