I'm hoping they announce a new one.

Do you mean fallout 1 and 2? Or 3/new Vegas?

I doubt they'd announce a new fallout, more likely to be a new elder scrolls

FO3 and New Vegas would be pretty great on the Switch.

I'd by happy with just fallout 3, only played it a bit and never picked it up, but still if they were releasing one it's weird to not release the other

If they did it wouldn't be on the Switch as it's lacking in power I reckon.

Well wolfenstein 2 came out on the switch and that's a new game

I very much doubt they'd pass over the Switch. It's one of the fastest selling consoles ever and Bethesda have arguably been one of the biggest third party supporters of the Switch.

A very easy game to scale back as it's not heavy on the CPU.

I doubt that they'd cripple the game just to make a Switch version possible. All of the games they've released have been either straight forward FPS games that scale well, or old games such as Skyrim. I'm not even sure if Fallout 4 could make the transition to the Switch without heavy edits such as the dynamic lighting.

Fallout 4 had performance issues on both PS4 and XB1 I can't see 5 happening (on the Switch). A new Elder Scrolls announcement is more likely for PC/PS4/XB1 at E3.

GamingDaddy · 12 Apr 2018 at 16:14

Anything is possible so you never know really, I'd still find it unlikely that Bethesda wouldn't attempt a port though

Noxia · 12 Apr 2018 at 16:18

Would anyone have believed Doom would work on the Switch though? I know it's Apples and Oranges but still.

Phate · 12 Apr 2018 at 16:20

Bethesda have mentioned that they have a lot coming up at E3. Heres hoping for some good Switch stuff. They seem to like the console anyway

Probably more to do with how crap the engine is tbh

Plainsong · 12 Apr 2018 at 16:22

Yeah anyway who knows? It'll be interesting to hear what they announce.

They halved the frame rate and ran it at a low resolution to get it to work, and it is also a corridor based FPS which is comparatively easy to downscale to the hardware.

An already 30 fps open world game with CPU bottlenecks rather than GPU bottlenecks is a lot harder to make work on the Switch. Lowering resolution helps GPU issues, but you need to lower NPC counts and AI routines for CPU issues for example.

Of course I would be extremely happy to be proven wrong as I loved playing Skyrim on the Switch.

Agreed it's getting on a bit now.

I still love those games though.

GamingDaddy · 12 Apr 2018 at 16:49

Bethesda games are always buggy as hell, which makes me want to play it on the switch more.

Playing Skyrim on the switch kind of felt like the first time I played it many years ago

I really want an Oblivion remaster on Switch, probably never happen but was my first Elder Scrolls game and I'd love to replay it on here.

I know it probably hasn't aged that well either hence why they keep just re-releasing Skyrim but one can hope.

Definitely agree, I completely forgot about it just because I couldn't ever imagine Bethesda rereleasing it

Football Manager 2018 coming to Switch apparently, not my cup of tea personally but can see some people putting some serious hours in and it's another great sign for Switch getting more support

So this is Football Manager Touch 2018 not the full fat version. On the eShop now.
