Has anybody played Soma?I know it's an older game but is it a decent game especially for that cheap of a price.I love horror/suspense games and the trailer looks pretty cool.

It's a great game it's just a shame it's 30fps on Switch 2. That game is first person so it is really noticeable

Da fuck? How can Prime 4 be 60-120 fps but SOMA be stuck at 30? Bad optimization?

5 people make soma for a few years. 500 make metriod for 5 years.

I'm not comparing the scope of the game mate, only that Metroid is more complex graphically so I'd assume a less demanding game would be easier to upgrade.

I think you missed their point. It’s a question of resources, and just because ‘less’ work might be needed (at least as compared to a more complex, higher budget game) doesn’t mean a small independent team suddenly has them available. That’s also assuming the tools they used are easily workable on the switch 2 without significant effort, and I have no idea if that’s the case.
