We’re continuing to collaborate closely with our friends at Nintendo. We have ‘PGA Tour 2K25’ coming out and ‘WWE 2K26’ [for Switch 2], and we’re incredibly excited about bringing more of our titles to that platform in the future.” BADASS bros...

How the fuck is the Switch 2 too weak for current games already?
>>732229367Capcom is releasing RE9 and Pragmata simultaneously on it along other platforms, and those games run at 60 fps on it somehow, so I'm leaning to Gearbox just being terrible.
>>732229367pragmata, star wars outlaws, ass creed nigger in japan, and fucking dynasty warriors origins wants to talk to you
>>732229367BL4 is too weak for everyone Anon or did you forget that was the main complaint surrounding the game on launch?
>>732228775so did they realize there’s no way they can get this pos to run on a console as weak as the switch 2?
>>732229780More like they didn't even fucking try. Dynasty warriors origins is already on the switch 2.
>>732229482>somehowIt's great that Capcom actually took time to figure out how to make their upcoming titles on the Switch 2, but it is no "somehow" secret sauce, videos are available already, they did noticeable downgrading in order to work well on the Switch 2.
>>732229780The game had demo stations so clearly it "worked" at some point.
>>732229992wow where is this? haven’t seen one of those in 20 years
>>732229482>>732229538>>732229582Why is this game so taxing when it looks almost the same as BL3?
>>732230020https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ulp2LxEs4Seems to be from a canadian event based on the video description.
>>732229367Has more to do with BL4 being horribly optimized, and chugging along on modern computers - even if it barely looks any different from BL3. What I don't understand though, is that Switch 2's hardware is designed around DLSS. It should work desu
>>732230045It makes use of Unreal Engine 5's Lumen system with zero attempt at optimizing it. That's why it runs like garbage on everything.
>>732230196I wonder what was the problem
>>732229482RE9 is going to release on phones like every other RE game. Any game built on the RE engine is probably easily scaled down in the same way and Pragmata is on the RE engine. So is MHWilds.
>>732228775Console war shitposting aside, I think the reason is because there's no audience for this on Nintendo. Most of their userbase really don't give a fuck about AAA western games, save for a few exceptions.Add the fact that Gearbox would have to optimize the game to make it run, which mind you they couldn't even do for the other consoles and fucking PC and you get why they wouldn't bother for a few sales at best.
>>732229367Anon, this goyslop runs like ass even on a 5090.
>>732231321I don't think it's the audience since the other Borderlands games are already on Switch.It's just more likely the performance, since the game already runs like shit on the more powerful consoles and even PC.
>>732231907Performance is probably the issue, yeah. The Switch 2 CPU is very weak so anything that's CPU heavy will be held back. Since BL4 performs like ass everywhere, it's probably extremely CPU heavy. Consoles, prebuilts, and even PC builders will often skimp on their CPUs which would explain it.
It's true that they actually learned that everyone hated that little bitch from BL3 and got rid of her in BL4?
I was actually looking forward to the game, and was planning to get it on Switch before it launched, I'm glad about the delay and possible cancellation.
>>732232368So it seems.
>>732232368Yes and also overcorrected from everyone calling the story shit
>>732229367No, BL4 is just that fucking horribly optimized. Piss5 Pro couldn't even keep a locked 60.
>>732228775>Our focus continues to be delivering qualityunderstandable, BL4 was a garbage game
>>732232368>>732232929thank fucking god, i have not played 3 to this day because of the story and characters
>>732228775>unreal engine 5>ran like utter dogshit even on 50 series GPUsyeah CLEARLY the switch 2 is the problem here, definitely not Epic Games and Gearbox nothing being incompetent jeet level coders.
>>732229538To be fair ac blackman is kinda of ass on it, only game i ever returned for the S2 so far
