johnnycarvajal1 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Or maybe the touch version. Imagine that. After playing Mario Odissey you just go to the park, relax and play your career. Technically I think is posible to play the normal version, but if it isnt works they can port just the touch version. It surelly works. I bet that Switch's FIFA will suck and PES wont do any game, so FM can sold well if it will be the onliest great football game. Of course the main version will be the PC version, but it is an interesting alternative choice. What do you think?

mack4ever Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I don't think you understand how complicated game development is. Porting FM to the Switch isn't just a case of unticking a box labelled "PC" and ticking a box labelled "Switch". Porting FM to the switch is something that would take thousands of hours of work and cost an enormous amount. Why would they do that for a console whose target demographic is vastly different to the typical FM buyer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or FM touch which is already developed for tablets? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or FM touch which is already developed for tablets? A game developed for mobiles or for tablets is no closer to a game for the Switch than a PC game is. It would still be an enormous amount of work for very little potential reward. Let's also not forget that SI is a very small team in game development terms and they are producing a game that is ludicrously complicated. To produce a Switch version (or any console version) would require them to either hire new staff, which presumably they would not want to do, or take staff away from the PC version. Now given that every year people complain that not enough has been changed between versions, and that the game isn't perfect upon release, how do you think things would go if they had fewer people working on the PC version? Do you think that they'd get more work done, or less? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
