From what I can gather, they do the absolute bare minimum in which they view would be acceptable for them to make their games on their platform. After they do that, they ask a few token Japanese developers about it. After that, they make it, and then show it to some Western developers well after it's too late. Maybe.

   MrMegaPhoenix 1 week ago#60 Storm Chamber posted... Yeah, I'm lost at how this is an issue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/007_Legends the single player campaign includes one mission from each of the six actors' eras, being Goldfinger (Sean Connery), On Her Majesty's Secret Service (George Lazenby), Moonraker (Roger Moore), Licence to Kill (Timothy Dalton) and Die Another Day (Pierce Brosnan), with Skyfall (Daniel Craig) released as downloadable content for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC and included on disc for the Wii U version 1/6th of the game is DLC in the PC/PS3/360 versions. and look at what happened if this is true: https://community.playstation.com/content/pdc/us/en_US/pdc-communities/playstation-general.topic.html/how_do_i_get_skyfal-fQXS.html the used copy of the WiiU game = 6/6 content (ie: full game) the used copy of the PS3/360/PC game = 5/6 game (ie: not full game) that's what people are concerned about if this happens. Its not "download the patch to fix the bugs they missed", its instead "download the patch that unlocks the full game on the disc". And you run the risk of not having full access to the game that was available at launch simply because the dev didn't allow day 1 owners to access the full game on disc unless they downloaded it. its an issue and will be an issue if it actually happens. Not with patches to fix bugs, but if devs start cutting features/maps/levels but require you to download it. That's what has some people bothered, because its already happened and they are concerned it might keep happening. If you don't see it as an issue, then you just don't see having part of your game that you bought potentially cut as an issue.....which I guess is okay for you, but it makes sense why its a concern to others. http://www.backloggery.com/MrMegaPhoenix http://www.gamefaqs.com/community/MrMegaPhoenix/games/played?platform=0&filter=4 reportquote

   Waluigi1 1 week ago#63 Having multiple choices of storage doesn't really change anything... You're still going to have to spend extra money on some kind of storage because you will run out of room. My 500gb hard drive on my PS4 is always full and I'm always having to delete stuff to install new stuff. It's all relative. Yes, 32gb is pathetic but you also have to consider that switch games are much smaller than the average PS4 game. And unless you're super casual or only play tiny indie games, everyone is going to need more storage eventually on any system. 3DS FC: 4983 4925 5121 NNID, PSN, and GT: Waluigi1 reportquote

You make a good point here. I do have to wonder though; at what point do things become too much?  Take your Doom example. What exactly was in the game that made that file size so huge? It wasn't the most graphically intense game on the market, surely. You already mentioned the smaller campaign. So where did it go that made an impact on the overall quality of the game? That's my question. The thing people praise most about Doom is its smooth as butter 60fps and fast paced gameplay, but usually that is achieved by using less/smaller assets and not more/bigger assets. reportquote

Theres no excuse for games to be 68 gbs.  They need to reassess where they're devoting their energies There's lots of excuses. None of them viable for a Switch game, but there's lots of excuses. What if you have 4K FMV? It's superfluous, and should be an optional download, but if a disc could hold it, why not put it on there? Same with higher quality audio and higher quality 1080p FMV as well. You could say s*** about not needing FMV, but I think that's a bit unfair, too. Also, 4K textures are just real f***ing huge. So that's another thing. Not anything that effects a Switch title, but this can effect other systems. Are you trying to say these sort of assets should just never be used at all? I'll again agree that they should be optional for a non-disc release, but for a disc release, why not have them on there if they can? Like, man, Doom is freaking huge (I think it's 60-70GB now), and it's neither a long game, nor does it have any real FMV aside from the opening ID Logo, and that's a very well made, very well optimized game. You make a good point here. I do have to wonder though; at what point do things become too much?  Take your Doom example. What exactly was in the game that made that file size so huge? It wasn't the most graphically intense game on the market, surely. You already mentioned the smaller campaign. So where did it go that made an impact on the overall quality of the game? That's my question. The thing people praise most about Doom is its smooth as butter 60fps and fast paced gameplay, but usually that is achieved by using less/smaller assets and not more/bigger assets. Engines can be huge http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/Dominican-Glory.png http://i.imgur.com/fnQnq5o.jpg reportquote

Wow, Nintendo wants people to pay more for less storage for their game cards. I'll leave this video here. Goldeneye FC 5365-5518-3504 alt FC 3899-7748-6731; MKWii FC 4253-8089-9160 reportquote

      MrMegaPhoenix 3 days ago#113 swagtile posted... Hmm. Very disconcerting. Nintendo is going to have to make some kind of compromise if they hope to have third party support outside of indies going forward. Waiving their platform fee on games that make use of 32+GB carts sounds like the logical thing to do. But then, Nintendo isn't exactly known to be logical. yeah they'll have to do something, but no platform fee might be too much. But then again, we don't know much about this stuff >_> the concern would be if they did waive costs, wouldn't devs just use 32GB cards "cos its free"? it'd end up costing Nintendo money there ;(  GameboyTroy posted... Wow, Nintendo wants people to pay more for less storage for their game cards. I'll leave this video here. I cant watch the video ;( but yeah its a concern that the PS4/X1 don't have to deal with, so it has to be addressed at some point (even if its the Switch 2) cos its not a problem that will magically go away. http://www.backloggery.com/MrMegaPhoenix http://www.gamefaqs.com/community/MrMegaPhoenix/games/played?platform=0&filter=4 reportquote
