Can the switch even handle the graphics? I guess somehow It can.

The undocked Switch is in the same ballpark for raw power as the 360 and PS3, so as long as they've managed to sufficiently unfuck the game's nightmare spaghetti code, should be just fine.

This is Rockstar to be fair

The Switch has pretty underwhelming specs but this is a PS2 game isn't it?

[–] hoodatninja@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

360/PS3. Switch will struggle for sure. It’ll probably be 30fps @720p with either slightly lower res or unstable framerate.

I hate playing games on the switch. Tbh I dislike the switch. Whenever games only come out for the switch it bums me out. Could be playing the game on PC with modern tech but nah. Locked to an underwhelming tablet with controllers

Just buy a Steam Deck?

Just emulate it if you want to play switch games "on PC with modern tech." For legal reasons I'd advocate getting a modded switch and ripping your own games if you go that route but I was playing Tears of the Kingdom in 1440p ultra wide 60fps day 1.

The Switch is faster than a PS3/360, which the original game ran on.

To summarize, unoptimized PS3 < 360 < optimized PS3 < WiiU (slightly slower cpu then previous, faster GPU) < Switch in terms of devices with a roughly similar performamce level.

It's coming to Switch, but not PC? God, fuck rockstar.

[–] gravitasium@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Silver lining is we can play it with cemu!

[–] dudewitbow@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

RDR1 has already been playable on Xenia for quite some time. (And the emulator your thinking of is Yuzu/Ryujinx, Cemu is a wiiu emulator)

Oh man... Choosing games is really becoming tough lately! Busy with TOTK after I am done I plan on buying Hogwarts Legacy assuming it still launches on time. Also want to play Witcher 3 - been toying with this in my mind for some time now. Oh well maybe I'll just buy all three...

[–] Schaedelbach@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never played this one, only the second. I especially liked the slow and deliberate style and pacing of RDR 2, something a lot of people found off putting. Is this game similar? I guess my question is: If I liked the gameplay of the second game will I enjoy the first?

[–] Synthaxx@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The funny thing is that chronologically RDR 1 is set after RDR 2.

That being said, you'll probably enjoy this one too.

[–] utnapishtim@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Can't wait for the launch price be 60 euro and after two years it will be 49,99.

[–] _finger_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Instant buy, been waiting to revisit this game. Surprised it even runs in Switch

[–] Narann@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

While I'm excited, I will definitely wait for reviews. Rockstar is not the most trusted company.
