FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

[OMGAFLYINGPENGUIN]

I did play the 3ds, which is why i don't like them, i do not like handhelds, sorry if that offended you. i like to play on actual, real consoles. and yes, they are usually only good for wasting time

Yet right now in the current gaming market, mobile games yield the highest sales. Go look at summoner's war, brave frontier. Why do you think companies like SE,Nintendo,Sega are venture into the mobile market now? Almost all the mobile games are there have average story, Poor multiplayer(you're always against a AI) and gacha intensive. But still people still play them.

The 3DS actually have good games, but the idea that it could play ffxiv isn't a far fetched idea, this game is more than 3 years old and within the past years the capabilities of gaming devices are rapidly advancing. While nintendo isn't known for having specs on par with Sony consoles the nintendo switch has Nvidia's technology, I wouldn't say it is entirely impossible, Skyrim was in the trailer if you hadn't notice. I mean if it can be portable.. why not? I could always just login on the go if something requires my attention.

I think most people are afraid that if the Switch was supported, the limitations of the hardware would hold the rest of the game back, I hope I'm proved wrong and it ends up being as powerful as the Xbox One though. I have nothing against the Switch itself, its a cool nifty console, which will hopefully be better supported than the Wii U.

Which is a valid fear, and we still don't know enough about the Switch to answer that.

Oh shit.. FFXIV on the go. Yes please!

Switch is 1 Nvidia teraflops, PS4 is 1.8 teraflops. It's weaker, it's a handheld. It also has less RAM, and it's MUCH slower.

Your points about the RAM and the speed are alright but lol at judging the power of a machine with teraflops except marketing.

If anything I'm just hoping this isn't a Nvidia shield 2.0.

Unlikely it might come out for Nintendo Switch, though I do love the idea of a Final Fantasy game coming out for it.

If the Switch is powerful enough I don't there would be an issue tbh. Let's wait and see

It's basically a portable ps3 so, hope the don't support it.

Mobile gaming has come a long way to be more powerful then the ps3 already. Of course we don't know anything other then, switch is using a more modern Tegra chip yet.

No. It is the size of a tablet, so there is likely no active cooling solution. That fact alone gives strong hints to the type of power you're looking at. It will have to be a very low voltage processing core, in order to give it a decent battery life but more importantly to keep heat down.

I would assume, they have two modes for games with the Switch. One is the handheld mode, which provides games with lower graphics and - much - lower resolution and the tv mode runs games in 720p and 1080. To ensure the necessary power is available the clock speed will be increased when in the docking station, in my opinion, since the console doesn't have to deal with battery life in this mode.

Hate to break it to you but handhelds are real consoles and have games with much much much much MUCH better writing and stories than your typical hollywood blockbuster crap that comes out every 6 months. Limitation breeds creativity, remember that.

We all love opinions, and you're entitled to yours, and here is mine: They are no where near Better in story, Not even close, that is assuming you can actually find many good games on those peices of crap. i hate to break it to YOU but they are not real consoles, they are as much a real console as a zircon is a real diamond.

Not to mention that fact you are comparing handheld stories to only this game kind of tells me that you don't actually play any console games much to know why your statment is pretty laughable.

Yet right now in the current gaming market, mobile games yield the highest sales. Go look at summoner's war, brave frontier. Why do you think companies like SE,Nintendo,Sega are venture into the mobile market now? Almost all the mobile games are there have average story, Poor multiplayer(you're always against a AI) and gacha intensive. But still people still play them.

That is mainly because people are on the go, which i already stated is why you play handhelds many people even consider koonami dead because they mistakely think mobile gaming is the future.

Yes, people play them, they are portable games. but compared to what will actually work in the end, they will fail. what i mean by that is, as this topic is aimed towards, you will never see a game like this, or cod or dark souls, etc, popular games like those, ever on handhelds, most games require multiplayer to stay alive long, and since handhelds lack those, they won't get very far in the long run, you'll just deal with C rate games and other things to keep people on their way to work, school and traveling busy.
