i would be down for sony to make a true handheld. no gimmicks. no proprietary storage. i'm not asking for a lot lol.

That is the worst fucking idea. Even Nintendo can't support a dedicated handheld anymore.

Very smart. Take 200 dollars from idiot cows that already own a device that does the exact same thing this does

Unfuckable lemmings can't understand needing to share a TV with someone who loves them.

$150 would be a totally fine price. Its smart they're making a device like this

You're playing compromised ports right now. So you're one to talk.

 

But looks like you've moved onto another topic, so your question was indeed answered. There were developers maxing out the Switch, and unlike the PS3, they were not just first party or second party.

Nobody knows what you're talking about anymore.

They're doing just fine without giving a shit about PC. 

They probably lost 5M sales not releasing RDR on PC originally.

Kinda correct, but that's their stupidity.

Here are two solutions... Either do an actual remaster or do a full remake....release on Switch, PS4/5 and Xbox. 

 

Lemmings can't cry because this version would be better than BC. 

If they just did the shitty remaster, but put it on PC, there would be a ton of ways to make it better.

Yes, very much similar.

 

You, Jon, Sugarhigh, and I should start a MP game of BG3  

 

Yooo I'd be down. Is it possible to do a 4p all dark urges party?

Save scumming is not ideal in this game. The load times are way longer than in a game like JA3 for example where I save scummed like a bitch.

I doubt anyone is truly playing a righteous unedited path. I try to go with the flow a lot, but I still have like 10 deep backup plan saves. Otherwise you could force yourself into a slog, maybe unwinnable battle.

I'm playing as Karlach main and don't regret it at all. As far as early tips, get comfortable with the Split/Group options on the L2 menu (and play with a controller btw).

Lots of times you'll want to send 1 character to scout ahead, because the dumb group AI will wonder into traps and shit. Also if a character is drawn into combat, you can usually switch to the others and position them to surprise the enemy. Positioning at the start of combat is really important in general.

Yyyyyes they did. Witcher 3, Doom/Doom Eternal., Wolfenstein New Collosus, Dying Light.

 

Red Dead Redemption is literally the same game engine used in GTAV

 

The power was tapped.

All compromised ports. If you played any of those games on switch you missed out.

Slightly more powerful than a steam deck due to efficency gains, but yes in that ball park. 

 

Anyone expecting Xbox series S level is delusional.

 

Anyone expecting PS3/360 level for Switch 2 is even more delusional because that would make it much  weaker than Switch 1.... Lol Sugarhigh lol

 

I'm expecting better than PS3, worse than PS4. I've said exactly what I expect before: Switch got compromised "impossible ports" like Witcher 3 at 540p with custom settings below PC's lowest. Switch 2 will get comparable games running 720p at actual PC medium.

It's wild to think Nintendo would release a system with the form factor and battery life of a Steam Deck. Any "efficiency gains" (actually irrelevant because Switch uses mobile architecture) would go to shrinking the device and extending the battery, not boosting performance. We'll probably get that from Valve in a Deck revision.

Switch 2 will be starting from much lower base. More likely a 10-12W device.

I really believe they could surpass a console from 2013 and still take advantage of light RT. 

Are you familiar with Nintendo's work?

The backlog is infinite. It's why Gamepass is just a joke to me. I'm playing BG3 right now, and it currently feels like I'll be playing it forever. Since finishing Ragnarok, I struggled to put any game over Rocket League. I wanted to play Divinity or Weird West or Death Loop or 100 other games, but Rocket League was always there. Baldurs Gate is so good I don't even think about anything else.

On-topic: It’s the best first party output Nintendo has ever had. And it is because they don’t have a separate console and handheld market to support. I’ve been very pleased since I purchased mine with Mario Odyssey. 

I agree this is true (indisputably true post-n64), and it's still not close that PS2 had the better library. 3 GTAs in one generation is almost enough on its own and those aren't even my favorite PS2 games.

Why I think it's possible: 

And PS4 pro will be 8 years old next year, using  9 year old tech.

 

The Switch for example was about 3-4x the power of PS3 from what I recall (5x the GPU power). This alone would lead me to guess at least a PS4 pro equivalent with ray tracing.

Switch was "3-4 times more powerful" than PS3 but never got a game that looks in the same generation as Uncharted 2, God of War 3, GTAV, MGS4, Killzone 2, The Last of Us, etc. Ok. Nobody could figure out how to tap that power.

Nah it'll be like a PS4 pro with ray tracing and dlss/ai. I'm guessing it'll launch in the fall of next year.

 

I'd agree if it were released this year but this won't happen.*

I would bet anything this is not the case.

for real lol. it will probably similar to the SD, which is about as powerful as the ps4.

There's no way Nintendo will match steam deck performance. Steam Deck is the best proof Switch 2 won't be a powerhouse. The sacrifices are unacceptable for a kid console.

In portable mode. It's going to beat the PS4 in docked.

Docked gets 20% up clock at best. It doesn't fundamentally change what kinds of games can run on the system.
