Siriocaz 4 days ago#10 I don't think it should depend on that, but who knows, maybe the company isn't willing to support the console altogether and they're releasing this game...for some weird reason. People need to comprehend that this will cost more expensive than on PS4/ONE, that it's a 6-year old game and not precisely one of Rockstar's flagpship titles.  It's not as bad as what Capcom is doing, though, since they have explicitly said that they will determine the support they're going to give to the machine based on the performance of their over-priced ports of 1+ year old games. But I don't believe such a thing, it's dumb. Thinking a signature. reportquote

SplatterHouse55 4 days ago#13 L.A. Noir is definitely a strange choice to determine future consideration. Not that it's a bad game, but it's interesting that they didn't choose to port over GTA IV or V, or Red Dead Redemption - Popular Rockstar games that sold very well.  Perhaps the size of the games is what determined what would get ported over? If that's the case, I'm not sure if L.A. Noir's success would make any difference in attracting bigger games. Maybe if those bigger games were digital-only? I'm trying to imagine how they would work that if it happened.

I mistakenly looked at how many GB it would take to upload the PS4 version (over 60 GB). The 360 digital version is 18 GB (without patches). It took two discs to run GTAV on the 360 - one of which had to be completely uploaded to the 360 - but the 2 discs together put the game at about 18 GB. However, the online portion of the game might have since inflated the size of the initial 18 GB game (and its 2 GB patch). I actually don't know if the online portion has been a growing mound of GB patches and updates, but I do remember that the online portion of the game wasn't available on the 360 when it launched, and for quite a while afterwards. The online portion is a lot of game that I'm pretty certain had to be added to the initial 18 GB game, although I don't know how many GB it would have increased the total. That being said, the Switch should be able to at least run the base game. Maybe the online portion of it is the sticking point, because it would make too much sense for GTAV to get released on the Switch. It's still a big seller, and I'm sure that GTAV on the go would be an attractive proposition for many. I guess it would make sense to release the base game on cartridge, and make the online portion a digital install. Perhaps Nintendo's online service is a factor for a possible release in the future. Anyhow, I'd agree that L.A. Noire is a strange choice for a port.

Mr_Big_Boss 22 hours ago#46 ssjmole posted... SplatterHouse55 posted... donkeypunch1116 posted... Let's be honest, most people aren't going to buy this game anyway. It's ages old and wasn't a heavy hitter when it released then. If It was GTA5, that may be a different story. Sure GTA5 is old as well, but it has legs and still sells to this day. LA does not.  Hopefully Rockstar doesn't base it's support on a game that they know full and damn well wouldn't sell in the first place. In fact, the decision to bring this game to Switch in the first place baffles me, as they know everyone would rather just have GTA5 on the console. Guess we'll wait and see. I think that L.A. Noire was chosen for the port, because it can actually fit on a Switch cartridge whereas GTA V could not. I think that the only way GTA V could work on the Switch is if it was digital-only.  What is interesting is that Rockstar went with L.A. Noire instead of Red Dead Redemption, which could fit on a cart. Perhaps that could be the next game if L.A. Noire sells well. But GTA V fit on 360 disc. It can fit on switch That would require an overpriced 32gb card that sucks away all profit. the end of one nightmare, prelude to the another... Shenmue III reportquote

AG--05 19 hours ago#47 Hopefully they base it success on current install base. They can't be asking for unrealistic numbers. I'd say if it sells ~500k in its first few months I'd say that's a success considering that's about 10% of the current install base. Bill:TANK! Francis:TANK! Zoey:Tank! Louis:Pillz Here reportquote

   metroidman18 1 day ago#52 GTA V single player would have worked on the Switch. GTA online would be way too gimped on the Switch. But Rockstar clearly proved that they stopped caring about GTA V single player years ago, let alone going back to strip things for the Switch version and deal with extra licencing issues. LA Noire is the easier port for them. Nintendo Switch Friend Code: 0209837474242048207. Add me plz reportquote

Again with possible missing features. the games are being made to see if switch has fifa fans that arent on one of the other systems. that would mostly be people who enjoy the main game or ultimate team which are usually the main draws of the game. If missing that one mode means a no buy its not very likely that person was going to get the game anyway. finally a new .Hack game! its been too long old friend. reportquote

With all the people saying how bad the game is, if it doesn't sell well on either PS4/XB1, does that mean that those platforms will lose Rockstar support too? It's pretty dumb to compare support for those consoles and Nintendo consoles. Well, it's pretty dumb to assume that Switch would lose support and PS4/XB1 would not if this game sold poorly on all. Not at all. Xbox/PS gamers have proven time and time again that they'll buy most games. Devs are satisfied with the response from Xbox/PS gamers. They know there is a market for their games on those platforms.  Nintendo gamers on the other hand, have shown time and time again that they don't buy games outside of Nintendo and a select few third party devs. Devs can't trust Nintendo gamers like they can Xbox/PS gamers. The third party devs who have had immense success so far with third party releases on Switch may disagree with you...just sayin. Nice trolling attempt though. reportquote

It just means that there's no audience for this type of game anywhere, and that a different game may be more fitting. Your point is stupid. The Switch WILL lose support if L.A . Noire does not sell well. This is Rockstar's test of the system. They already sold millions and millions of GTAV on PS4 and XB1. I can guarantee you that if that didn't sell well, they would have stopped making PS4 and XB1 games, because that's how business works. If you were a grown up, you'd understand it. reportquote
