GN Version 5.0

Coming from a GamingBolt interview with Asobo Studio’s Chief Creative Officer David Dedeine, when asked if A Plague Tale: Innocence is coming to Switch...

“No. I will not lie by just saying…power. It’s really the power of the device. In this case it was the amount of rats we need to display. We already know that there’s too many rats, too many animations, too many AI at the same time. And if we want to give justice to – it’s like there is a large bridge between [it and ] Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro. And the Switch, it was too hard to make the same game in such a different context.”

You read the headline...you know I wouldn't lie! Nintendo obviously didn't think about how much power the system would need to handle a rat horde. Good job, Nintendo!
