It's interesting to know that they think it could run on the Switch. But the DLC alone will probably fill your 32GB of storage.

physical games don't install
and have you ever heard of external storage. Micro SD Card support for Switch

"have you ever heard of external storage. Micro SD Card support for Switch"
Do you not read?

conanlifts2709d ago

By the time it releases switch should support external hdd. For portable mode you just transfer from hdd to micro sd.

light692709d ago

You're saying that like you haven't seen articles/news/advertising/conf irmation by Nintendo that the switch supports sdxc cards.... good job dude you're the ignorant part of the Internet.

WPX2709d ago

That's what my $40 128GB Samsung Evo SD card comes in. In any case, it should be no issue considering that SD cards keep dropping in price. By the time this game comes out for Switch, IF it comes out, the SD card prices may have dropped even more.

That would be nice, though it'd be easier to have said good launch if third parties would give consumers a reason to come to Switch, I.E., their games, instead of waiting for consumers before bringing said games at all.

SlappingOysters2709d ago

Totally agree. Just Dance and Skylanders as the only real third party AAA for launch and they are ancient games. Thirds not backing in the Switch at all.

wonderfulmonkeyman2709d ago

There are some that are, but they're the Japanese devs with great RPG's mostly, and indies.
It's mostly the minority of AAA Western devs that aren't pulling much weight on the Switch.

light692709d ago

That's the problem dude, it's a paradox with this. Deba will only support the console with games if the people buy the consolé and it proves popular. People don't want to buy the console because they want 3rd party games but devs don't support with their games because people don't support the console. Lol it's a cycle, hopefully and by the looks of it, this cycle will be broken because people seem more interested, and because of the easier porting that devs have been mentioning, we will have games (even if not AAAs at the start) to play from 3rd parties which will prompt people to buy it. Plus the added feature that it's portable and it has Nintendo classic adds to that. So hopefully we will see a change, I'm optimistic.

EddieNX 2709d ago

Pretty much anything the xb1 can run so can the Switch. If the games have to be scaled down a bit to work as a portable game then that's not really surprising.

SlappingOysters2709d ago

if that is true then I with the XBO used cartridges and stopped making me load everything onto the HD

PhoenixUp2709d ago

Too bad EA already said that FIFA is the only game that they're looking to put on Switch in the near future.

conanlifts2709d ago

That wasnt actually what they said.

We’re supporting the platform,” Patrick Soderlund, executive vice president of EA, said, via IGN. “We are not announcing anything (else) yet, but you can expect us to be there once the platform launches and takes off.”

C_Ali882709d ago

WRONG!!!!! lol Revisionist history prominently on display here!!! Only on N4G!!!!!

light692709d ago

sd11 is actually correct they said so far FIFA is the only game announced and they can't confirm any other titles. They did mention they are supporting it and will further support it with AAAs if they switch does well on release and the most after. So it all comes down to people supporting the console, which seems to be decent. People still come in to gamestop asking about it, for pre orders, if we'll have extras which Gamestop has confirmed that they will.

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 4h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 4h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 3h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 3h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing8h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

just_looken17h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper16h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 7h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 7h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 3h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 5h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 5h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 4h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
