It'll be really awkward for Nintendo if this port isn't the current gen version

Liqu1d2682d ago

If it can't even run the current gen version of Skyrim then the Switch isn't going to get much 3rd party support.

nitus102682d ago

Skyrim for the PS4 and XB1 includes the three DLC's as well as some modding capability. Not including the DLC in the Switches version of Skyrim would be a real slap in the face for people wanting to play this game on the Switch.

This game is $5 at Gamestop on PS3/360. How much is it going to be on Switch? I wish they would make a Fallout for it. I would rebuy FO3 to play on the go if was under $20. I have the Platinum Trophy on PS3. I didn't rebuy on PS4, and I won't on Switch.

"Realized like never before" Is this simply that you can play in the go? It hurts a lot that the game that introduces mods to console won't have that option. I've been railing against Sony to get off their high horses b/c mods will be the future of console gaming. The Switch won't survive on old 3rd party games. Sony and MS were very careful this gen not to make Sony's last gen mistake. They created systems that are much easier to build for. Now devs have to consider Nintendo's Switch, and without the numbers, it will never be worth the port. And it will never be the definitive way to play!

Lol "mods will be the future of console gaming" -- no

joab7772681d ago

Ya don't think that the future will see more and more mods come to console? Why not? I realize that consoles will have to continue to evolve as PCs and Screens grow exponentially, and streaming becomes more of a thing, but why wouldn't mods also play a big part? They are extremely popular and add lasting gameplay and creativity.

Sony doesn't like that content is being given away, just as Valve didn't, but we saw what happened with that!

SublimeStylee22680d ago (Edited 2680d ago )

Sony has mods what are you taking about?

zivtheawesome2682d ago (Edited 2681d ago )

i thought it was already confirmed to NOT being the SE
EDIT: never mind comparison images between them making it seem like the SE.

stuna12682d ago

I think you'e referring to NBA 2K 2018. Supposedly they're using a last gen port on that as well.

SublimeStylee22680d ago

Because in video they used smoke n mirror version. they teased a snippet that was clearly the remaster to mislead consumers into hope. But this thing is a joke common Mario and Zelda are hardly worth a second look anymore same stale graphics. Same gameplay. Same rewashed levels and areas over and over. With so many new ips and killer games who actually would care for this??

Wallstreet372682d ago

Its already rumored by insiders FIFA WILL also be a ps3/360 port. What did some of you expect? This system is a weak console that is obvious and everyone has been saying it except fanatics. Enjoy it for what it is but don't expect Battle Field games and many of the more realistic quality AAA games.

StormLegend2682d ago

WiiU 2.0 in disguise do not buy this crap.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast43d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22943d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko43d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave44d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
