FIFA 18 For Nintendo Switch Doesn't Run On Frostbite Or Have The Journey Mode

@Terrorantula: I agree. If idiots would stop buying the switch, the gaming industry would be better. We're lucky we have functioning brains unlike others here.

@Terrorantula: meh I kind of like my Switch

@Terrorantula: really bro...

If they go 3rd party there games would look the same or a tad better... Nintendo is least likely to do realistic graphics, because according to them "realistic graphics doesn't age well"...

Always remember Nintendo design there hardware to suit THERE needs first... MS and Sony design there HW around 3rd party, because mostly likely what 3rd party needs is what Sony/MS will need themselves..

@Terrorantula: Yep. I stopped buying their hardware after N64. I want them to go Sega, as there's a good chance I'd buy some Mario games and stuff on my Xbox, but I don't want to have to buy their hardware to play JUST those. Imagine with proper modern CPUs and GPUs how much better Nintendo games would look, and play.

@perfect_chao: No, it really isn't. Lacking memory and drive space for one. Also, undocked Switch is severely weakened. Can't run X1 specs then, can it? And it has to run the game in both modes. It's not laziness, the Switch is that weak. Developers want their games to look and run as best they can on all platforms, not look shittier than they have to.

@ltjohnnyrico: and that last comment Is what I'm hoping most people do. Keep the sales for the switch also.

I am not into FIFA but would like it to do well so more third parties come on over.

Although for people saying it's not laziness as far as we know now nba 2k18 is the same on every system. If I get that it would be on switch so I can take anywhere.

Just saying FIFA I don't think is THAT crazy powerful that it couldn't run will all modes on switch. It's just ea half assin it. People buy it then they can add more support-- people don't and they can say "see no one buys on Nintendo"

@joe_b1_kenobi: Why? PS3/360 versions don't get discounted, neither should Switch. Shadow Of Mordor 360 should've been cheaper cause it was gimped and couldn't do everything current gen consoles can? Of course not. Those systems are 10+ years old...people gotta upgrade sometime, or you get what you get.

@lebanese_boy: there is no competitor on the Switch so they could've taken their time and release a Switch optimized game later. They wouldn't even have needed to do a lot of marketing for it either. Instead they choose the simplest, most cost effective route which is understandable from a short term perspective. When has the gaming industry really do us a favor as of late?

@lebanese_boy: Technical limitations. Game modes need memory and space. Switch is lacking in both. Time to port Frostbite? Switch can't run the engine. I see nothing in article indicating time as a factor.

@lebanese_boy: In terms of hardware power yes, they each excel in different areas but overall about the same in power. But he means a lot of Genesis games which had the same title as an SNES game such as Earthworm Jim or Beavis and Butthead, were different games. And some people prefer those Genesis versions.

@lebanese_boy: BLAST PROCESSING.

Genesis won the 16 bit era. Sega was for cool kids, SNES was for babies still clinging to NES nostlagia and silly Mario games.

@7tizz: Both the SNES and Genesis had aspects of their hardware that edge out the other. In the end they were very similar in capabilities and in the games they produced.

Also yes the games were the same whether you want to accept it or not. The base version for multiplats were mostly based on the PS2 hardware which was the weakest of the three and in the end looked roughly the same across all platforms.
