News [Digital Foundry] Bloodstained Is Brilliant - But What's Up With The Switch Port?

[Aelphaeis Mangarae]

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is perhaps the greatest crowd-funded game to make it to release - on PS4 and Xbox One (particularly on the enhanced consoles), it's simply brilliant. However, all versions have their issues, culminating in some big problems for the Switch version. A patch is promised, so let's hope the major issues can be resolved.

But what's up with PC port?

But what's up with PC port?

Weird that it's not even mentioned in the video, at all.
Also confirmed my suspicions that the PS4 Pro version is nowhere near 4K.

"Does", did you mean doesn't?
That's a shame since the PC Port is the version I'm most interested in, how well it runs on different kind of specs.

Dictator usually does the PC videos (but i don't think he'll be doing one for Bloodstained)

Digital Foundry do good work, but I think PC is lower priority in part because console vs console stuff attracts viewers, and they do need viewers. A video covering PS4/XBO/Switch will get more views than a video covering PC/XBO/Switch or PC/PS4/Switch or some combination thereof. The nuances of PC versions also involve a lot of technical discussion that isn't of immediate interest to a lot of their viewer, sadly.

Whoops, does not indeed!

I was looking to grab this on Switch, but this is probably the worst port I've seen (that I'm interested in, at least). After playing Dark Souls a bit--a port that's fine and actually quite enjoyable in portable mode--this is...beyond disappointing.

So, now that Switch is likely out, I'll wait for it on PC. Too much to play to justify an impulse purchase now.
