this is just embarrassing. Simple cash grab. I can't imagine it will be better than running on Xenia or RPCS3

Okay, but those don't run on ps4/5 or switch and they aren't selling it on PC so what's the problem?

It's okay for developers to re release old games on modern consoles. It's okay.

without even a FPS boost to 60fps? For £50

nah, thats not ok. by any stretch.

Especially when the PS3 version was (as far as I recall) available streamed on PS+ Premium tier/PS Now

Not for full price, usually this would be a 20 dollar straight up purchase, and for games like Skyrim if you already owned a copy you'd get the upgrade for free. This is a cash grab.

A release on a modern console worth 50 dollars would have been a remaster. See Halo MCC and Mass Effect Legendary edition there for examples of good rerelease price vs payoff

Skyrim is a terrible example TBH. That game has been released and rereleased for full price over and over and over again on every platform under the sun. It barely ever even goes on sale.

Big +1 for Xenia, most people here are technical enough to get it working. RDR on Xenia (canary specifically) worked extremely well for me, had exactly 2 crashes through my whole 50ish hour playthrough.

Lazy port, premium price. Typical Rockstar.

This port is like two to three years too late. Playing AAA games from over a decade ago on the go is not as interesting as it used to be on switch.

Curious to see what consessions need to be made for Switch. Just get the coders from the Doom port and we’re good👌

Great...

When can we play Zelda on PC?

Fuck Nintendo getting ports handed to them and giving zero back.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Switch emulation is coming along nicely. Playing zelda on PC is totally doable and has been since the release.

I know about dolphin and BotW, you can now also play TotK on emulator?
