Its amazing that Rift Apart runs so well on Deck. I think by the time UE5 is widely adopted, we will need a new Steam Deck. It seems like Epic is running with high end PC hardware and even PS5 is struggling.

Pretty good numbers!

Lenovo also has a handheld on the way. Things are going according to plan, we just need SteamOS for all devices.

Every platform takes patches   Not many PS5 discs are solid without their day 1.

Piss5 owners too busy beta testing future PC games at 30 fps on low.

Remnant 2 running at 720p on consoles is fucking unreal.

Will pay full price on Steam if the reviews look good. I've played most other Bethesda games.

No you're not. Switch 2 will have a tons of games made specifically for it unlike deck which will not. 

 

The current Deck will be relegated to a last last last gen only system in decades to come don't be silly. 

Most of the switch games "made specifically for it" are ports worse than the lowest PC settings.

Steam Deck will continue to play brand new games for decades to come. As long as it takes for Supergiant Games or Team Cherry to make bigger games than Cyberpunk 2077.

Let's be real Switch 2 will outsell steam deck's entire 2-3 year lifetime sales in a week or less. 

The only value of sales to me is that I won't waste my money on a stunted platform. Vita was stunted. With Steam Deck, hardware sales mean nothing because I'm guaranteed to get a better library than Switch 2 for literally decades to come.

Even if you stick to what's officially Verified/Playable on Deck, the library is insane.

Digital-only on PC is decent as long as Valve remains trustworthy (no sign of concern after 20 years). And if Valve went evil there are a lot of alternatives.

Digital-only on console is fucked. You literally only have one source for games, who set all the prices. I would never want to go for this.

It's going to be the death nail to the Steam shit and other similar PC shit tablets 

I love to see Sheep expose themselves like this. Openly hoping for so much and getting so little back, and then pretending you like it.

It would be nice to have a PC version of Oblivion with gold gamepad controls. The menus are pretty old school now. It seems weird (maybe unbelievable) that Bethesda would do a UE5 remake rather than the upgraded Starfield engine.

I would hope Project Q gets a lot more people using remote play cause it's had kind of half baked UX since PS4 launched. Q seems like an easier official solution.

Still slowly building that Playstation exclusives collection.

 

Got Killzone 2, Killzone Shadow Fall, Motostorm, Infamous and Playstion All-Stars.  All very cheap. 

God Of War 3

PS4 beat Xbox but lost to Switch

Switch lost to PS3.

PS4 won the console wars, PS5 is a victory lap.

They lose money on Xbox so if profits are tight, they have to slow production 🤣

We've seen enough from Netflix, MAX, etc to be skeptical of subscriptions saving the day. I think MS big acquisitions won't drive up subs anywhere near what MS needs, and Xbox is not going to be revived as a console to the level of Xbox 360. If MS wants to be a game publisher, they have to be on Playstation. But I don't think there's anything strategic in MS being a game publisher.

Phil Spencer is just fucking up, and expanding the rot into profitable sectors at MS.

Steam Deck is where it's at right now. It's my full time Rocket League device and also plays most of my backlog.

Fucking Leftists.

I guess if you want to miss out on some of the biggest PC games then sure thats an option.

If a game isn't on Steam or PS5, I'll play something else. There's too many great games to accept a dogshit user experience.

Don't buy PC games that aren't on Steam.

This thing needs to support PlayStation Plus to be relevant, IMO. Just Remote Play isn't enough.

I'll be surprised if they don't have this.

It looks like shit, but I think it'll work well for what it is. It's a no risk add-on that makes PS5 gaming more available,.probably cheap Also the Steam Deck looked weird in pictures but great in person.

I was going to make a post saying "It will probably just open up Battle.net and run through that, just like Uplay did... but then I saw this on my twitter timeline..

 

 

So I guess it's actual Steam integration.  That's pretty good.  

 

I have a feeling that once MS gets control of them, everything but World of Warcraft and Diablo will see actual Steam releases with full integration.  I think Diablo and WoW remain on Battle.net.. but if they do release on Steam, in those cases it will just open Bnet and run the game.  Those two are the biggest drivers for bnet by far.. and it was just recently revealed that removing COD from Steam in an attempt to grow Battle.net hurt the franchise quite a bit on PC.  I just can't see Diablo and WoW coming to Steam itself... because then Battle.net would completely die and MS would be paying Valve a slice instead of getting the whole thing themselves.

It turns out nearly 60% of D4 sales are on Battle.net. That sounds like a win, but maybe they're thinking it could've been even bigger on Steam.

MS is already supporting Steam with their existing output. I think only Minecraft is not on Steam. I expected this to happen, but not so quickly.
