Good that Switch gets Resident Evil love, but too bad these are just cloud versions. I maybe would have bought RE2. Maybe even RE3.
You would need to buy a console that can run them =
Yes now I would. But it would've been better for me if I didn't need to (but for those two in particular I have a console that can run them, I just never play on it). :-P
Sure would be better, but not sure most of the companies making the cloud version for Japan have any intention of optimizing and downgrading the best way to have it running on Switch. Is PC an option for you?
I'm tempted to find out how well a cloud game functions...
It's not gonna be a locked 30 fps experience that's for sure ehaha
Better than nothing
If you can only do cloud versions, then don't even bother with the ports.
You would prefer nothing over an option?
Yes, because fuck latency.
You know that Streaming latency can be no different to running a TV out of Game Mode? Depending on your internet
You have no idea how shitty my connection is, and not everyone has adequate internet.
Ill assume you are running with some pretty shobby net. My net isnt perfect either, unless you are playing competitive.
DF did a test on that already. The latency was bad even though they were using a wired controller + docked Switch with ethernet. So even in a best-case scenario, we're talking 3-4 extra frames of delay.
Still, better than nothing at all.
They stated that some games also have the same noticability as using a TV out of Game Mode. Its clear dependent on the game and its servers as each game grants different results.
How exciting, great times to be a switch owner.
