Blazing Zero posted:we're getting the opportunity to give nintendo money just like sony and microsoft. be thankful for it I don't think you get just how expensive and complex proper network infrastructure is. And that's without whatever SLA's the ISP's are bleeding them over. Nintendo's been able to cheap out on it because they had all of two dedicated online games. Pushing through a proper setup with several million active users across different games is a big step up from the halfassed job they did for Splatoon and Mario Kart 8.

Act two https://twitter.com/lawbreakers/status/885305442364256257 I suspect some devs are passing the Switch because they're ignorant as hell.

I mean even without the Pro controller it still has the same number of buttons if you're playing in TV, Handheld or Table Top mode.

They must not have realized that two joycon mode was a thing (a glorious, comfortable thing).

I think my favorite thing about that article is if you use motion aiming you have to look away from the screen for some reason?

It's hard to care about a game being ported if its devs don't know anything about the platform. Guess they're not aware of shooter that has ~terrible~ motion controls, Splatoon.

They must be thinking about turning left or right entirely when aiming instead of just using it for accurate shots.

Lawbreakers is just another Battleborn in the making. Legit had to look up Gearbox Softwares wiki because I had forgotten the name for Battleborn until I wanted to make that snide remarks.

Infinitum posted:Lawbreakers is just another Battleborn in the making. Lawbreakers could theoretically steal some Overwatch players as they've been getting testy recently over Ranked Mode changes, from what I understand, but generally speaking it's going to have to be obscenely loving good to last longer than a month against it.

The issue with trying to compete with Overwatch is that you can only introduce so many features and complexities to a team-based Hero Shooter before it's actually just a MOBA. And then you're competing with League and DOTA, instead.

Lawbreakers thing reminds me of the Abe's Odyssey guy from a few weeks ago what is it with all these devs who think it's some kind of dunk to not bring their loving awful games to the Switch? last I checked Lawbreakers beta did horrifically bad, it's not going to be a thing.

That's Cliff Bleszinski's new hero/class-shooter right? I know Gears of War had a multiplayer following but good luck trying to tear a chunk out of the Overwatch fanbase.

One day we'll have Abe as a fighter in a platform mascot fighting game. Whether that's in a far off Smash or PSASBR2, whatever way I wanna see the guy make it into one.

Concerning Lawbreakers: You'd think someone that both grew up playing and lived through as a developer various eras of paradigm changing games coming out and seeing how every similar game that came out shortly after was labeled a "Clone" even though they might not have been; be more careful releasing a game that seems so similar to one that's recently come out and been such a hit. It doesn't matter that the mechanics and gameplay are super different from Overwatch, the masses take one look at the game and go, "Oh, you're after a slice of that Overwatch pie huh?" Lawbreakers doesn't remind me of Battleborn so much as it does Drawn to Death that came out a few months ago. A project lead by a guy who's already "Made It" in the industry, sank into relative obscurity for the past few years only to come out with a new independent project in the style of the big trend of the moment that also interests him as a player. Like none of these guys saw survival horror get big and make a game in that genre cuz they ain't that interested in playing that I guess. It's all about the competitive multiplayer.

Viewtiful Jew posted:Concerning Lawbreakers: There's only so much room for this sort of game in pop-culture so I think it's a pretty safe bet that this thing is F2P within 18 months of release. Cliff really strikes me as the sort of guy who thinks he's got the industry pedigree to go out there and eat some of Overwatch's lunch and god knows it could even mechanically be a more interesting game and not come close to displacing the number of players necessary to overtake, let alone co-exist with the current reigning titan.

Someone should really make a team based shooter with a simpler, cartoony art style that makes it easy to port to whatever, even if your laptop is from 2007. Hmm...

Are the Splatoon joycons not coming to NA? I feel like a dork caring about the color of my controllers, but with the way the Switch recognizes the color of the things, it'd actually be kind of neat to have 4 different colors instead of 2 and 2 or 1-1-2.
