You can get Doom running natively on a pregnancy test

It doesn't mean you'd ever want to play it that way

 

[oldergamer]

That is a really dumb take. Is a pregnancy test a game console?

I tell you what is a dumb take, thinking MW2 is going to run at a playable framerate and resolution on the switch

 

[PJX]

They can't even get their own games to run properly on the Xbox and they want us to think they can do it on the Switch?

 

[AngelMuffin]

They are saying warzone released in 2015, not Xbox one.

Yeah, you’d think they would know when they released they’re own console.

 

[GenericUser]

160p, 15fps, no details? Maybe

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Reflex edition

 

[M1chl]

Yeah well they have people from ID soft, I guess that would help

 

[LordOfChaos]

What if Nintendo never released anything more powerful for the next 5 years either because they're Nintendo and people keep buying this underclocked 8 year old TX1? This is just a silly hypothetical, but the 10 year contract could be strange. Or what if the Switch 2 isn't vastly more powerful and they're hamstrung to make games that can run on it near the end of the cycle.

Does cloud work for their contract?

If a game is 100 GB, drop half the frames : 50 GB
Then drop resolution by x4 : 12.5 GB

This will easily fit on a Switch cartridge.

This actually reminded me of being 4-5 or something and thinking every possible frame in a game had to be stored in the game

 

[PSYGN]

Apex Legends barely runs on it and it’s a more visually complex game than CoD so I believe it. At 60 fps probably not though.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Nintendo should be along for the ride with shooters, COD belongs on Switch.

On a technical level, it is not.

 

[lughnasadh123]

MS doing a hail mary for the regulators while Switch owners shrug and go right back to playing Pokemon.

 

[scarlet0pimp]

im sure they can get it working, Fortnite on the switch is playable and feels like a choppy 30 but it works. Graphics are PS1 like but it works.

 

[Skifi28]

Wii U port and I'm game.

 

[mckmas8808]

It will be so, so ugly, and probably dip to 320p at times, but yeah, it's probably doable with a lot of work.

Exactly! No story here.

 

[FBeeEye]

It can run on a phone, of course they can.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Not the same game.

You're going to be proven wrong. Full stop.

 

[Mephisto40]

Lol

 

[PSYGN]

On a technical level, it is not.

I meant as far as all the things that can happen like abilities and traversal - visually is a poor word on my part. There is just a lot more to calculate and keep up with in Apex than CoD which is more static. It’s easier to tone down the graphics to work. Apex Legends running on Switch even if it’s not perfect is pretty crazy. CoD should be able to run on it.

Anybody who thinks people do (looking at you oldergamer) hasn't turned off crossplay on the Switch version of Apex Legends and tried to get into a game.

 

[IndianaJack]

Will Brussels see through this ruse?

The system requirements on PC for MW2 are almost double that of apex legends, so this doesn't really add up tbh

 

[SJRB]

It's going to be a text adventure though.


"Enemy approaches from behind the right corner, what do you do?"
> fire
> duck
> throw grenade
> melee attack

 

[MikeM]

Can’t wait to see the result lol

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Is there anyone asking for call of duty on the switch???

 

[DenchDeckard]

They can't even get their own games to run properly on the Xbox and they want us to think they can do it on the Switch?

 

[PJX]

Have you been living under a rock?

 

[Tams]

This just showed that they don't understand at all what the problem is.

It's not and has never been a question whether they could, but rather if they would. And they have done nothing to allay concerns there.

Don't you mean should?

 

[StereoVsn]

240p, 20fps average even, it will be amazeballs.

 

[Tams]

Don't you mean should?

No.

As 'should' would be calling into question the regulators' authority on the matter. Of course they are doing that, as they want to deal to be approved. But what the regulators want are guarantees of what they would do according to what the regulators say they should do to get approval.

The regulators are not asking Microsoft if they are right to be examine this deal.

 

[Skifi28]

At this point they are going to promise to sell Activision before they even buy it.
