modifiedjaymill Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 This is more of a what do you guys think kind of post. I'm a gamer on both PC and Ps4, I'm wondering how others feel about warframe being expanded to the nintendo switch. I think it would be great, more play mobility and more player base added to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasten Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 This will not happen. Digital Extremes would have to rewrite the Evolution Engine to work on ARM processors. This is like asking for Warframe to get ported to an iPad or an Android tablet. The reason why Warframe even came to PS4/Xbox One is due to both systems using "standard" x86_64 CPUs. Compared to the PowerPC based hardware in the PS3/360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeyedtreefrog Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Aside from likely requiring an entire department/team to be hired on specifically for adaptation to nintendo's software/hardware... do people even USE the switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerbone Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Aside from essentially having to develop Warframe for the NVidia Shield (the Switch is based heavily on mobile NVidia chipsets), the marketshare that a Nintendo console appeals to are either young children, or long time Nintendo fans. While I'm not saying that Nintendo's core audience couldn't appreciate Warframe or games like it, I'm saying that games like Warframe aren't why they bought a Switch. I'm a life long Nintendo fan and I really don't see the point to bringing Warframe to the Switch, especially considering the device's portability, which would make maintaining a stable connection a nightmare.

Bayo 2 was rejected by Sony and Microsoft but Nintendo picked it up when no one else would. So I hardly doubt that would be the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Br1ngiton123 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Although I think a port for this game on a mobile device of some sort would be great I agree with the previous posts that it would be too tedious to develop a version for the switch. Also I think the game really wouldn't be as good as on stationary consoles or pc as the graphics and overall quality of the game would most likely have to be lowered in some capacity to run smoothly on the switch.

SurrealEdge Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The biggest hurdle would be making it anything else that isn't online only. What part of this game would work with a system that is literally made to be "on-the-go"? No wifi? No play. Let's also discuss the memory, updating the game would be horrendous as it all relies on an micro SD card, and with how the game changes drastically over time, those updates get massive. All of the save data from all of the games on the system is saved to the micro SD as well, and updating on the system isn't the smoothest nor does it do update passively while in sleep mode, unlike its predecessor the Wii U and my PS4 when in sleep. Another point of discussion would be the lack of any communication tools with the system. There is the system keyboard, but it's impractical when you need to stay stationary for long periods of time to write out anything. There's also the complete lack of headset functionality or bluetooth compatibility for any headset designed to be used with a gaming system for communication. The best we have is a terrible Switch phone app, that requires a mess of wires from the headset, phone and the adapter when wanting to use one with in game audio. Hardware wise, it's inferior to the PS4 and Xbox One when it comes to both graphical fidelity and frame rate. Only games that have a consistent frame rate are the ones developed by Nintendo's in house development, such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and ARMS which run at a fixed and steady 60 fps, while a game like Breath of the Wild runs at 30 fps with relatively okay loading times when using fast travel. Let's not forget the amount of heat produced by the thing. Stick you hand over the vent when it's going for longer than 30 minutes and the amount of heat produced would end up warping the system. So really, terrible idea since the system isn't designed for long sessions, heavy processing and the lack of communication tools needed for a game like this. That's just me speaking as someone that owns a PS4 and Switch and making the comparison with how it's able to handle loads this game puts out over time. PC is still by far the best way to play though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jicematoro Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I mean, the Switch has like, 8 GBs of Internal Memory, and yes, you can add SDs, but you can't possibly expect Warframe to run smoothly while running on an SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babywrath Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I want it. Lets get it done. For once, I would actually pay for this game. I haven't spent a dime on warframe since I started but this will change that for me in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the WiiU *did* get Bayonetta 2. That kind of freaked people out. I mean, she's a gun witch who fights enemies by summoning monsters that temporarily consume her skintight bodysuit to exist. (A suit which is, somehow, made of her own enchanted hair. It's like, Inception levels of "W.T.F?") Aside from that and Monster Hunter though, Nintendo is pretty famous for how preschool friendly most of the games they permit look. Most of the time, anyway. As near as I can tell, "Mario + Rabbids" is XCOM, but instead of sniping Sectoids you're using cartoon hand cannons to shoot at crazed homicidal rabbity things.

(PSN)zeratul____12 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) The Switch is too weak to run the game reliably. Also the game would have to be very compressed to even fit on the Switch in the first place. Edited August 31, 2017 by (PS4)zeratul____12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrotSalad Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'd love to be able to play it on switch. The HD rumble aswell as the comfort and design are in a sweet spot. It's got the hardware in place to match the demand being flash memory means faster read and write times than Xbox One and PS4. We've seen a number of games on UE4 and unity games perform exceptionally well on it aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volinus7 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Nintendo doesn't like microtransaction(they did it sometimes though), especially the one with too intense skinner box. I hope they don't give in so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatnix. Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 @TheErebus. Madworld <3 @Volinus7 Oh, no no, not anymore. They love them now. A lot of their games are getting bombarded with DLC and microtransactions. Also, their phone games have shown them the power of them and how much money they create, so really... they'd like the potential of Warframe giving them a chance to sell... I don't know, Tennogen or Amiibo if they want. On topic, I think it would require a lot of work to put it on the Switch. Not impossible, but effort would be needed. The amount they could expect to spend on it vs what they can get (being a free game) wouldn't work too right as of now. At the same time, Switch owners must be famished for a game like this and it would be welcomed for sure. I just don't believe DE has the need or even the resources for it. Not even the patience for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dongwook23 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hmm... If it can run Doom, I think it can run it, at a power-only standpoint. However, the game will require a lot of rewriting of code. But I do not think it will take 'THAT LONG' as they can just use the assets from the base game and just use that. It will need compression, but is compression done by a human being? At a profitable standpoint, if they can just magic the port out of thin air, it will be a massive profit for digital extreme. But we have to note the expense of the porting process. How expensive this port turns out to be we don't know. Last but not least, is the F2P Market available in Nintendo's new home/portable console? If we look at it now... well there is nothing. Unless they sell the 'profit making things' as DLC it won't be possible. There is just no infrastructure for a F2P market in the nintendo eshop. Unless Nintendo makes a huge move with their eshop, it will be really hard to get a F2P title on the eshop. So those are the thoughts on my thoughts on this matter. Do you agree?
