Stellar Blade is in development for Switch 2!
>ShiftUp has officially begun development on the Nintendo Switch 2 version of its flagship title, Stellar Blade.
>After starting as a PlayStation 5 exclusive and expanding to PC, the company is accelerating its strategy of expanding its multiplatform-based intellectual property (IP) by entering a new hardware ecosystem.
>According to a report in the gaming industry on Monday, ShiftUp recently secured an official developer kit (Devkit) for the Switch 2 and has begun initial work on it.
>The kit includes unreleased APIs, testing software, and debugging tools, which will allow the company to verify the hardware architecture and operating environment in practice, and to optimize and ensure compatibility with platform characteristics.
>With the graphical realism, sophisticated action system, and platform-specific optimization experience accumulated during the development of the PS5 and PC versions, ShiftUp has begun designing content that reflects the Switch 2's low-power architecture, unique portable interface, and mobility-focused user experience.
>The development of the Switch 2 version is closely linked to ShiftUp's IP expansion strategy. “Stellar Blade” is evolving from a single-platform hit to a multiplatform, global IP, and will be used to cross-pollinate with other content such as "Goddess of Victory: Nikkei" and other content, DLC releases, and global marketing campaigns to continue to strengthen the connectivity and extensibility of the content.
>To celebrate the 3 millionth copy of Stellar Blade sold, ShiftUp rewarded more than 300 employees across the company with Switch 2 devices.
>This is a strategic move to secure Switch 2 units early, which are in short supply even before the official release, and to motivate both organizational rewards and development.

wow a port of an old video game!
>>712979579 (OP)Sonybros... What is this???
Will the schizo finally stop posting then
>>712980220The real schizo hours will only begin now
>>712979718It's a Sony published game heading to the Switch 2. Ironic given how pic related was spread around. Another one to add to the list of Playstation titles on the Switch.
>>712979579 (OP)The game is probably a good candidate for a Switch 2 version, given how well it runs they should be able to make something decent.
>>712980717Maybe Sony won't be the publisher, the IP belongs to the devs, right? It's possible to have different publishers for different platforms.
>>712980891Yes, SU owns Stellar Blade's copyright.
>>712980891>>712980960Playstation's the publisher for the PC version of Stellar Blade, and they already published games for the Switch. I don't think it's unrealistic if they are the publisher, but it would be for the best if SU has grown to where they can publish SB without having to appeal to Sony.
Nintendo is the only company left that has true exclusives.
>>712979579 (OP)Unreal Engine 4 games especially when well optimized shouldn't have problems with the Switch 2 when it was a problem on the original Switch. The question though is if any of the older Unreal 5 games are coming without the enhancements we saw from Unreal 5.6 and part of me says no or they would have to downgrade the crap out of those games to get it to run on the Switch 2 without having it perform like absolute shit.
Speaking of gacha developers, I wonder where Mihoyo is with it. You would think Nintendo would want Genshin and etc. even if late to arrive on their system despite the Switch 2 not available officially in China commercially.
>>712982083switch 2 cannot support the nanites. it would need a 5080 8gb to run UE5 games
>>712982278Switch 1 already runs UE5 games
>>712979579 (OP)Eh, good for them? Maybe? But do tendies even want "droid may coom"? Felt like they pretended to be above jiggleslop, or was it just being above jiggleslop that wasn't on their system? Anyway, probably useful that they can take it into the toilet *wink wink*
>>712982865what the fuck is this retarded babbling about
>>712982865Niet Automata sold well on Switch
>>712982865This is your brain on console wars. There isn't a singular hive mind called tendies that all have the exact same opinion about consuming video games retard
>>712982946he types like a complete retard so he probably doesn't even know
>>712982595I'm honestly surprised how well the switch can handle fortnite and hogwarts.
>>712982278Supposedly, they had some sort of version of the Matrix Awakens demo running but no one knows what exactly they did and only Nintendo and Epic would know since it was never shown publicly. I would assume a lot of the optimizations Epic did for Unreal 5.6 is mainly more about trying to get stuff running more performant in preparation for the Switch 2 since they would be one of the first developers to get it ahead of time. Fortnite now ships on it and it has everything Epic puts in as a way to dogfood their own engine in a shipping product.
>>712982595We don't know what kind of effort is needed to get it to be running, some really heavy hitters like Immortals of Aveum and Stalker 2 are already performing really badly on current consoles as is so it would take a bunch of retooling and upgrading to make it work
>>712982996Hogwarts is UE4.
>>712983063you should hit a few meds
>>712982865>Felt like they pretended to be above jiggleslop, or was it just being above jiggleslop that wasn't on their system?Bayonetta 2 is a flagship, exclusive action game on the Switch. Or does that not make the threshold for you?
Consolewarring is the dumbest shit
>>712983187>bayoBetter game so the fanservice isn't that important but fair enough.
>>712982865What? You're confusing shitting on retards that use the game to shitpost with shitting on the game. I'm a "tendie" and the only reaction I had to the PS5 release is that the game would make so much more money on PC. I want good games to do well, I can't stand shitposters.
>>712979579 (OP)Shiftup denied it. Keep in mind they also have another title in development that is confirmed to be multiplat and would include Switch 2.
>>712979579 (OP)Very nice. Time to create my Doro folder
>>712983125 bro he's off the meds, on the Switch and deep in the coom mines. just let him cook, maybe he'll finally render a coherent sentence after the next Family Guy cutscene
>>712984501Of course they won't just admit it exists before actual reveal
>>712979579 (OP)Who the fuck cares. Shit game, all style no substance
>>712986516Maybe it doesn't actually exist y'know
>>712986516Well preferably it does happen, more people should play it. But it also reminds me a bit of the recent "Chrono Trigger remake reportedly happening" and it turned out to be total horseshit misinterpretation of what was actually said, and every journalist ran with it anyway without fact checking anything.
nintenbros we are about to become men
Wow, it’s incredibly likely Nintendo is footing this bill because this is the best selling game in years
>>712988669Like Persona 5 that became the worst game ever made once Switch port was announced?
>tendies getting stale leftovers again
It's like when Nier Automata came out for the Switch and they treated it like some big victory despite everyone else having already played it and moved on like five years prior
>>712982996hogwash is ue4 and looks and runs like shit on sw1 you retard
>>712989246You getting upset is the best part about this
>>712979579 (OP)What's the point of having a PS5 now?
>>712990297Everyone with a brain did when shiftup admitted they took the PS exclusive deal to help fund the game months before nikke even released. Now they don't need sony anymore with all the money their gacha made.
>>712979579 (OP)>source: my anusthe game is literally published by sony
>>712990297>What's the point of having a PS5 now?>NowThe one good game the console had, Stellar Blade, was a timed exclusive and everyone knew it was coming to PC
PC + Switch 2 is the way, until the latter has a working emulator then you can sell it
>>712990689>until the latter has a working emulator then you can sell itThat possible emulator might NEED an nvidia 3000 series card just to even start up. I wouldn't count on one for a while.
>>712979579 (OP)Uuuuuuhhhhhh it flopped chuds.
>>712979718Nintendo Bayo good, PS5 Bayo bad.
>>712990823>emulator might NEED an nvidia 3000 series cardand?
The problem is with Nintendo protection this time, I don't think the Switch 2 will get hacked anytime soon and once it does, add another two years at least for the emulator to develop
smugio

>>712979579 (OP)>flopped on PS5>only chinks bought it on PCLooks like Switch 2 will have to save it.
>>712991109>>flopped on PS5Anyone who says this is a nigger.
>>712979579 (OP)finally, ps5 and pc players, rejoice: they're going to make the official worst version of this game, with shittier framerate and graphics, AND some outfits may even be even MORE censored! lmao
>>712990297>nowWas there ever a point in owning PS5?
>>712982865I'm getting old man. Action games are supposed to be cool and sexy. Just because you're a faggot or worse yet a gay console warrior doesn't mean I won't be enjoying this on the switch.
>>712991183It took a while for the first million. The second one was made with discounts. Unironically the pc version made them more money already
>>712994440Budget motherfucker, what is it? If it didn't sell well enough for the devs then all of shiftup wouldn't be rewarded with $700 PS5 pros in the first place.
>>712995126>Budget motherfucker, what is it?The thing that made them sell 10% of their company to tencent and then go looking for money from Sony.
>>712995126I never said it didn't do well, but to pretend it made them as much money as they're seeing now is ridiculous. Stellar blade had an uphill battle on ps5. I like the game so I'm glad it made it, but they're seeing more than double of what they made on pc. This is good as we'll get more games out of it
>>712995910*of what they made on ps5
I had a friend pick it up month 2 for 40$ as well. While digital is starting to rule the console space physical sales still matter. The game went on sale quite fast
>Been following this company work and games since Destiny child, and knew about them because of Magna Carta
Sometimes this miserable industry is alright. Hope we get a Destiny Child crossover soon.
>>712994440>The second one was made with discountsBullshit. Game has been near full price for the whole year.
>>712996261Dude that's a lie. It was recently at sale at best buy and walmart. I bought a nip copy at bic for the equivalent of 35 usd a while after release too.
>>712996362You have no idea how sales from/with retailers work do you.
>>712996652Good on you. Im sure adding images makes my point invalid. I told you I like the game, and just simply tried telling you they've made more money with this pc release than they did the ps5 one. You just have console warrior illness.
>>712996362Physical copies make their profit being sold to stores. Full price on psn the whole time except for black friday or whatever it was. Close to 75% of sales is digital these days too. PC version made more money already? You're ignoring an entire extra year of porting the game and the time and cost that comes with it.
I know some of you are really horny to call everything a flop as long as it involves a brand you dislike, but it performed well on PS5 and is now performing well on PC.
>>712996761The nigger couldn't even answer the question, expected.
>>712996830Sure buddy. That's not how that works. Nobody ignored the games first year. I'm telling you that it just moved slowly. You faggots are so caught up on brand you refuse to see what others are telling you. You and your gimp faggot friend here
>>712996848
>>712996941NTA, but From my time at best buy. Retailers get about 30% plus the publishing and other fees. A physical copy nets the devs like 15% overall sales if they're lucky and got a good deal
>>712997146You type and swear like a nigger or jeet. I'm not sure what's worse here. Read what people tell you instead of just trying to win with lame insults.
>>712996941Embarrassing post, you should take a break from 4chan for awhile
>>712997217You won't live to see 30 tranny. so It doesn't matter.
>>712979579 (OP)I though this was a larp, but then I saw the picture.
Giga based. Whatch all negative opinion about Stellar Blade vanish
>>712997504Nah the asia's don't really like playstation these days. The pc release did good numbers all around and a switch one would also do well.
>>712997504it won't vanish because trannies are the main instigators, but it will definitely have a very noticeable decline with tendies switching sides. the most recent threads I've seen were actually pretty nice, but fuck discussing this game is a miserable experience for the most part, but it's OK i still had a blast playing it
>>713001520All threads for games that got ported to Switch had an uptick in shitposting, though
tendies coping seething and crying because they have no games
you will NEVER EVER play stellar blade
>>713003012Neir is already on Switch thoughbeit.
>>712996830>>712996941I don't know if you guys are pretending to be retarded or something but it tends to work off distrobution. Stores pay for bulk units shipped not per unit. So lets just make up numbers like 1000 copies each for 30 a unit. They make a good 30-40% off that minus taxes etc. Its why many don't mind the 30 gaben fee. They are making a lot off this pc release. Id argue more so than the ps5 one since there is less retail depreciation and psn sales. At least so far. Doubly so since any chinese money is all theirs.
>>713003012>you will NEVER EVER play stellar bladebut it is on PC AND is coming to the Switch 2
>>712979579 (OP)>stellar blade on switch 2>where you can't even mod itWhat's the point? You're playing the worst version of it.
>>712979579 (OP)>snoys are already shitting on ShiftUP and Stellar BladeWell they tourned around pretty fast lmao. Thanks for being the betatesters while PC and Nintendo chads enjoy the finished version of the game I guess.
>>713006653>You're playing the worst version of it.That's not the PS5 version
>>713007641Hopefully it won't get blurry like on the base ps5. Some areas would drop badly in framerate even in the performance mode. That with the gross fsr mix in there just looked ugly. Balanced mode was really the best way to play it.
>>712979579 (OP)>read the article>its all just rumors bullshit>inb4 it doesn't even happenare you niggers gonna go back to shitting on the game if there won't be a Switch 2 port? Genshin Impact didn't end up getting one and that was a riot
>>713007857why would i care? i get to play it on PC
