Thread 718632320

I'm kinda excited, do you think it will be on the cartridge like Skyrim was?

>>718632320 (OP)
Goddamn, this is going to run like absolute horseshit. Are you really excited for the worst version of the game imaginable?

>>718632320 (OP)
it would be neat to get something like the zelda stuff in skyrim
maybe metroid shit

>>718632401
Yes

Don't tell me you're seriously going to buy this shit? I played it on gamepass and still felt ripped off

Bethesda doesn't get enough shit for how much of a disaster this was

>>718632401
it's the only way I would play it. if it was all on a cart for my new handheld.

>Starfield
>fitting on a 64GB Nintendo Switch 2 card
The sad part is people actually might believe this is possible. You'll be getting Starfield just like PS5 is getting it. It'll be digital version only like Indiana Jones will be.

>>718633159
>remove 4k textures
>remove all but English language
It's definitely doable

>>718632320 (OP)
Wait is also on switch 1 or is exclusive to 2? i have seen them using the first switch cover all day.

>>718634081
It's going to be a digital only release on PS5 and Switch 2.

>>718634282
wow they went for the most gay option possible, good for them.

>>718634081
It's a rumor based off of code from the creation engine updates. No guarantee it will come even if bethesda wants to port it. The game hogs cpu and memory

>>718634364
It makes sense though. That's what they did for literally every one of their other games they put on the other consoles too.

>>718634282
You got proof? No.

>>718634081
It runs like garbo on my gaming pc.
I can't imagine it running on a Switch. Even with an experienced team like Panic Button doing it.

>>718634450
>No guarantee it will come even if bethesda wants to port it.
I hope it happens just so I can see how bad it runs. It's guaranteed to be the worst version of the game running on the Switch 2, so seeing it running on it would be great for memes.

Hoping they'll put in the DLC in the cart as well, maybe we'll see more starfield threads again once the PS5/Switch 2 release comes out. What a great game.

>>718632742
All but the most onion guzzling mind broken goy cattle of their fanbase have abandoned them, they will pay for it

>>718634697
>wasting time and resources on a port that will run bad aniways
A proper port is posible, as long as they take their job seriously and avoid to rush out a stinker that they can fix the bethesda way (patching it up for months until its in an acceptable state), it can happen, hell we got the fucking witcher 3 as a launch switch tittle.

>>718632657
>>718632742
people never should have gotten attached to bethesda games, they were all clouded by post mod performance. their games are shit without them and these webms prove it

>>718635019
Witcher 3 has a lot less going on under the hood than any bethesda game and it still looked and ran like shit on the switch

To be honest you could port starfield to the gameboy color and it wouldn't make it any worse of a game, because that is fundamentally impossible.

>>718635248
I never had those problems, probably patched it out by now.

>>718635019
Switch 2 has the worst version of Cyberpunk and is a disaster for Elden Ring. In no world with Starfield be anything more than "well...it runs" when on Switch 2. Indiana Jones might just because ID Software managed to get Doom working on Switch 1 even if that too was the worst way to play it.

>>718634504
Historical evidence and past actions. Considering that's how it worked for all the other games the made multiplat, it'll be the same for these. Microsoft isn't going to be paying Sony or Nintendo to use their discs and carts for their multiplat games in the past and they won't do it now.

>>718635317
Bethesda games got a lot going for them because bethesda can't code for shit, almost all of their games got performance and bug fix mods out there, hell if some newfag shows up and says
>hey i want to play fallout 3/oblivion/nv/skyrim
and there will be always someone who will encourage him to download a bunch of fan patches and mods first.
Fallout 76 was the canary on the coalmine for normalfags
>but it was developed by a B team
then why did starfield came out as a bugfest too?

>>718635019
Starfield is a very CPU heavy game.
You can "optimize" GPU heavy games pretty easily by reducing texture resolution, reducing LOD distance, reducing render resolution, etc.
It's a lot harder to do that for a CPU heavy games because most of the logic is tied to gameplay and isn't just a visual flair. The only easy fixes (i.e. non-game breaking) off the top of my head would be reducing the number of simulated physics objects and NPCs.
It's why a lot of people reported performance issues with Starfield. They're constantly upgrading their GPUs to the latest models but they're also using CPUs from 10+ years ago thinking it isn't important.

>>718635578
Wrong. It's because their engine prioritizes simulation and interactivity over shortcuts that cull or fake that kind of data and it does it to the game's detriment at times. There will always be an overhead for handling so much data at a time. Starfield was actually least buggy Bethesda game launch ever because they've optimized their engine even further with CE2 to prioritize what they want to do.

>play witcher 3
>wow no loading screens

>play starfield 8 years later
>wow only loading screens

>>718633159
Texture resolution and audio quality will definitely take a hit, but expect to also have to download data to your Switch 2 as well

It's nice to still see someone who understands this here.

>>718632320 (OP)
Nobody has ever been excited about Starfield.

>>718637103
I was

>>718637103
People don't want you to be excited about Starfield. They fear that this diamond in the rough will be uncovered and shine bright for everyone. They don't want you to live out your fantasy through it, but Starfield will be the brightest star there's ever been.

Say what you will about Starfield, at least you can sleep with some of the companions in that game. Heroes get no bitches in the Outer Worlds
