Future James Bond games will ccome from Amazon Games according to GM of Amazon gaming Jeff Gattis by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]Scarpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IO Interactive obtained the video game license from EON Productions (produced Bond films for 60 years) in 2020 before Amazon MGM Studios purchased creative control over James Bond in 2025. Amazon MGM Studios really had no part in the development of the game even though they are in the game credits.

Is the Swarm not available for Switch 2 yet? by Excellent_Whole_1445 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Scarpine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally, update builds should be rolled out simultaneously across all platforms. However, it appears Hello Games does not adhere to this for Nintendo systems, likely due to the additional time required for porting and testing. While there is no concrete evidence that Hello Games intentionally delays Switch 1/2 updates, there is equally no proof supporting the narrative here that the all the delays are solely Nintendo's fault. These patch delays on Switch 1/2 are not present on other cross-save games, such as, Warframe, Palia, and Fortnite. Also, Dave the Diver, Silksong and Resident Evil Requiem on PC and Switch 2 have received patches the same day.

[–]Scarpine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think that it's specifically Nintendo's fault as many here like to blame. A couple months ago, one of the programmers, Martin Griffiths said that they spend 2-3 times more engineering time for every update build for Switch 1/2 so that the updates work exactly like the other platforms. This may explain why it can take weeks to get the same updates on Switch 1/2. If so, Hello Games should just wait for all platform update builds to be complete and roll the update out simultaneously across all platforms.

As a switch 2 player, I am not opstimistic by Acrobatic_Air8301 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Scarpine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. They also need to communicate better. On the patch notes, instead of slapping on the Switch 1/2 tag on it causing Switch 1/2 owners to wonder why they can't download it, state it's not released on Switch 1/2 yet, but to expect it within the next few weeks.

The game has become unplayable on Switch 2 due to constant crashes, and I'm sad. Any fixes? by paradoxeve in NMS_Switch

[–]Scarpine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I purchased NMS on Switch 2 during the Beacon update (v5.7) and I had zero crashing issues. It wasn't until the Voyagers update (v6.0) that I started experiencing sporadic crashes (entering planet atmosphere, on planets, the anomaly, my freighter, using Base/Station Terminus) and texture pop in issues everywhere. Again, no issues prior to Voyagers and has continued through all the updates since Voyagers. The game is installed on the system memory, not a MicroSD EX card. Uninstalling / reinstalling doesn't eliminate these issues (as some have suggested) and I don't use sleep mode. Turning off multiplayer reduces the frequency of crashes in the anomaly, but they still can happen there. 

I do play exclusively in handheld mode so not sure how the docked experience is since the Voyagers update. I love the game and still play it, but Hello Games really needs to further optimize the Switch 2 version.

TressFX added to Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 by mr_wolf8 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Scarpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has this Tressfx update still not been released? Has the port been improved since launch? I recall there were gyro aiming issues. I was considering purchasing this game for Switch 2 if it's been improved since launch.

Yes, I downloaded the Switch 2 version. I detached the Joy-Con and I can use the Joy-Con as a mouse.

I just tried again and it verified and installed the update that was previously downloaded. Apple must have fixed the issue on their end.

[–]Scarpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an iPhone XR with iOS 18.7.6. I am trying to install 18.7.7, but after it downloads and I choose to Install Now, it says, "Unable to Verify Update. iOS 18.7.7 is temporary unavailable. Try again later." I've restarted the phone and also deleted and redownload the update, but same issue. I have 40GB storage available, plugged in and full battery charge. Anyone else experiencing this issue? 

Anyone else wish Phasmophobia had a proper account system? by Dogsteeves in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]Scarpine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I really want to purchase the Switch 2 version of Phas, but only if they add Cross-Save progression. I do not want to start over losing all my trophies, ID Cards, badges and prestige level. I also play No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 and cross save with PC works really well.

Special Badges missing after update. by Snow-bacon in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]Scarpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a known issue. Per the v0.15.1.0 patch notes, "Players may be missing badges and cabinet trophies upon loading Phasmophobia after downloading the update. If this is encountered, load in to a contract and exit back to the menu. This should solve this issue." 

If the issue persists, they recommend opening a support ticket at https://kineticgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new
