Fanning the flames

Sony’s game development toolset PhyreEngine appears to have added support for the Nintendo Switch, judging by documentation in the system’s recently released Dragon Quest Builders demo. It’s not a massive surprise, of course, as the software already supports the Xbox One, iOS, and Android – in addition to the family of PlayStation consoles, of course.

There have been a variety of high-profile titles that have taken advantage of the tech, including the likes of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster and even Journey. The engine first launched in 2008, and has since gone on to be used by over 200 games across multiple platforms.

@YummyHappyPills "Sony’s game development toolset PhyreEngine appears to have added support for the Nintendo Switch,"

Thats the first half sentence of the article. Its Sonys game development toolset.

BLPs come and join us in the forums and you can start a proper thread about these things (even name it BLPs rants) and we can have a proper conversation. I will join in, you make fair points but when its almost every article negging away its becoming a bit much. I wouldnt mind a proper forum discussion about the way Sony is heading and its competition with Nintendo etc.
