The lately launched Resident Evil Three demo has some curious references to Nintendo Switch.
Resident Evil 3 is, in fact, solely introduced for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. But when modders dug by means of the demo‘s recordsdata, they discovered a couple of strains pertaining to a Switch model.
Spotted by Rely on Horror, dataminer FluffyQuack discovered a set of notification messages referencing all three confirmed platforms, in addition to Switch. That is the “this game has an autosave feature, please do not turn off your [insert platform here]” message everyone seems to be aware of.
Furthermore, the demo has hyperlinks that will take the participant to their platform’s respective retailer. So on PS4, as an illustration, the message reads, “Go to PlayStation Store?” If you performed the demo, you’ll know that it presents the selection to pre-order the total game upon ending it, that is the place that hyperlink comes up.
All of that is to say that it doesn’t make sense why Switch could be on that listing. There are, nevertheless, a couple of methods we may interpret this. First, assuming a Switch model will not be in lively growth, Capcom could have experimented with porting the game to Nintendo’s platform in some unspecified time in the future throughout growth, and that is merely leftover code from that.
The different, extra possible cause for these Switch references could also be Capcom’s means of setting the game up for a future launch through streaming, just like the writer beforehand experimented with Resident Evil 7.
Resident Evil 2 Remake didn’t get the identical therapy, however Capcom could also be have determined to make Resident Evil Three out there for streaming. For reference, that model was solely ever made out there in Japan.
It’s a curious addition, in any case. Resident Evil Three launches April Three on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
