As in the article Capcom have already reported they are working on getting the resident evil 7 engine working on switch. Of course this is just the game engine and doesn't mean they are porting the game.

@sd- stop.

You brought this up in another article and several users corrected you why did you purposely ignore the statements by the company? They stated they have no plans to bring Resident Evil to the switch and they even made do with that promise as Revelations is being ported to the Xbox one and PlayStation 4 and it's completely skipping the Switch.

I mean capcom tends to use one engine at all times. They used MT Framework last gen.

So they'd probably use RE engine for other in-house games like Monster Hunter.

I have to agree about MH. Nintendo has a firm grasp on that IP. I think the last MH for a console other than a Nintendo was ps2.

I wish they would share...

Fist... Monster hunter became popular because of the psp. Only reason it looks like this now is because Capcom requested Sony update adhoc party of ps3 so it would work with the newest monster hunter at the time. Sony didn't end up doing it. Which makes sense, monster hunter was selling millions, why are they cheating out forcing people to use adhoc party instead of adding online... But basically to be spiteful Capcoms MH team brought them to 3ds going forward over Vita despite the fact Vita's second stick was what it needs the most lol

@te-I very much understand where Monster Hunter became popular from but at the end of the day my assessment is based on their financial situation their financial situation is telling me that they likely cannot afford to produce this game unless Nintendo funds which to me tells me it's statistically likely we will see a Monster Hunter on the switch before we'll see one on the PlayStation 4 or even the PlayStation Vita it's not ignoring that it existed on the PSP, it's just recognizing the company's financial situation.

I don't think Capcom did this to be spiteful, I think they just don't have the money.

If you're not going to bring up the company's financial situation I'm not entirely sure how you could hold this conversation a lot of their decisions have to do with where they are currently.

I mean you're basically making a statement and completely ignoring that they actually don't have the money for the thing you're talking about I'm sure it makes lots of logical Sense on the PSVita that doesn't mean they could afford it.

15 million vs 65 million, add in their current financial situation and then add in that Nintendo is more than happy to fund the project and you have a great reason why it exists on the 3DS

I think what he means is that were it not for Capcom's persuasion, Nintendo would've low-balled developers on memory. It's great that they listened to Capcom but I believe what he's getting at is that it shouldn't have come to that in the first place. Nintendo should've already had the foresight.

Yea if you think this is good news I think there's something wrong with you. Nintendo shouldn't have even considered to do less internal memory in the first place. The fact that they did shows how out of touch they are. Thankfully a dev convinced them to even give the little bit that they already have which is still ludicrously low.

So, yea I don't find this to be good news it's more of a frightening reality check.

And to be fair, developers told Sony the exact same thing when Sony was talking to them about what they needed for current gen game development. I forgot the exact quote but Sony was considering putting 4GB of RAM into the PS4 and one certain developer told them in so many words "if you release that console with only 4GB or RAM, you're dead!" So I get it. Hardware manufacturers want to release these consoles as minimal as they can get away with to keep costs low. However that was more than FOUR years ago. I cannot believe that in 2015/16/17 Nintendo would've even considered releasing a console with 2 GB of RAM. Hell I still think 4GB isn't enough.

No 1080p in docked mode, I can promise you that. Even with 4GB we're already seeing games such as Zelda having to settle for 900p.

I'm not sure the 900p is entirely due to RAM constraints.

Yet...

It was obvious the launch was going to be strong. What's unclear is after 2017....

For a home console, it's underpowered though.

No, it is not. The Nintendo Switch shares specs with mobile devices of the past. A LG G3, Galaxy S6, iPhone 6, and others already matched specs. All of these devices are old and outdated in mobile terms.

For a tablet its on par, for a game machine a bit underpowered. And I like the Switch, just wish it had a little more power. Hopefully Sony does a Vita2 with good specs, but who knows. I feel like the Switch will do ok maybe even good, but lack of power does isolate it from a lot of 3rd party which hurts for wider acceptance.

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
