Linux good. Fedora 34 is a very good Linux Desktop with some brand new tech inside. Since SteamOS 3 is switching from Debian to Arch, I thought I'd give that a shot on my gaming PC.

I will definitely play this on Steam Deck. When you think about this vs a remake of Advanced Wars, it just makes you proud not to be a Sheep.

It's funny during the whole PSP and Vita period of competition Sheep insisted that handheld games and console games are different. Now they're thrilled to be able to play terrible versions of Witcher 3 and Doom. Jerry's still trying to figure out how online gaming works. 🤡

I agree with you there is no guarantee devs would support it, but they can't support it if Valve doesn't provide for it. I disagree that the Deck wont be successful. I think these handheld PCs will be a new norm. Alienware already announced one and other less known OEMs have them as well. Valve's hardware might not even be the best, but the form factor running SteamOS will be viable.

When software is built, there is a "pipeline" of steps that go from error checking, compiling, testing, etc through to the final image. Packing up all the assets is part of that pipeline. Adding a step to compress and downscale media files is a lot less work than any kind of platform-specific code changes.

One major thing Valve needs to add is a low-storage download option for Steam. There's no reason why a 720p device needs the full 80GB+ install of Death Stranding with 4k-ready assets. Devs can build a version with downscaled assets pretty easily for a smaller install.

I think it could easily have a 10 year life cycle. If you think how long it will take for indie developers to make games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Deck should be a viable platform at least that long. Vita would still be a viable platform today if it still got indie ports within its hardware spec. But Deck wont rely on specifically targeted ports.

It'll run BOTW2 better than the Switch Amateur.

This is bullshit clickbait from pcgamer. They're looking at games that are failing on Linux due to anticheat/drm issues, which Valve already said are being resolved for Deck. Elden Ring will run on this while the Sheep have to cloud stream Control lol.

same shame on the slobs with commitment issues.

Just preordered, tshbo

There aren't a bunch of PC games that look better than Returnal. It's in the ballpark of like Jedi Fallen Order with a lot more particle effects and dynamic lighting.

I was interested to see if Stadia could become a 3rd major AAA platform. Their whole system works really well but it looks like yet another generation of dominance for Playstation.

Common for Sheep.

I don't think 5G was ever pitched to be faster an a wifi connection. It's a generation advance on 4g which at its best is like 25Mb/s for me. 250Mb/s would be a huge upgrade, and that's still way lower than last generation wifi.

The Switch version of this game is a stream code and still doesn't have ray tracing.

death stranding was amazing before it actually happened. now it's a documentary.

more like Red State, I guess?

I think they would for MGS1 and 2. Maybe not as much for 3 and 4.

I already played half this game on PC, but my gpu can't do RTX (vega 56). So I'm down to replay it, and also I could see the dualsense being incredible in this game.

No different from Ninja Theory or Bethesda.

We do need remakes because the series is kind of trapped on PS3. But if Bluepoint is gonna do 1-4 it could take >10 years.

I could see them buying FROM software. I think MS has a marketing deal for Elden Ring

Just started it on Gamepass on PC. The opening is good
