sugarhigh 519 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Good price! Would consider it if it runs SteamOS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watch twinkie buy this and then still bitch its not to his liking As if ASUS making a powerful semi-affordable gaming handheld isn't great for Valve. They don't want to be the hardware leaders, they want to push the industry in line with their goals. The Ally is a great example of it working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,986 Posted April 27, 2023 Author Share Posted April 27, 2023 Honestly if the Windows experience is the same here as it is on the Ayaneo then this is going to be a mess for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,746 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 This thing is an absolute monster Sure, Asus can build a faster Steam Deck-like handheld gaming PC, but there's no way it could compete with Valve on price, right? Guess again. The higher-end Asus ROG Ally will apparently cost just $699.99. That's for the model with an AMD Z1 Extreme chip, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD — meaning that Asus' 512GB handheld costs just $51 more than a 512GB Steam Deck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayaneo sells consoles, thats why there are so many Ayaneo models. Valve sells software, which is why they want Steamdeck to be more generational like a console i.e. next one is years away. Asus selling hardware I guess this will see more hardware refreshes than not. Shame its Windows that shit needs to die already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope Valve gets SteamOS ready for general installs soon enough and then works out a cut for OEMs shipping SteamOS. I look at the Deck more as Valve setting the standard for others to copy. Valve is getting better at hardware, but they don't have the refinement of Samsung or Sony products. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL you paid full price to play TLOU downgraded to the 2014 PS4 version You won't finish the game on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,299 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Oh shit, I may have given it too much credit. Forget PS4 version, its running as rough or worse than the original 2013 PS3 version. And thats at 720p that isn't really 720p since its using FSR2 to upscale. The entire point of playing this remake of the game is lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Notice how all of the people who bought that thing...........they type and type and type words about them playing it. And, this entire time, never actually want to SHOW us what it looks like running. ooof, look at this. this is with the newest patch from a few days ago. He turned everything down to low. There's almost no shadows, there's no form of global illumination. It looks desaturated because that piece of shit Chinese LCD screen makes it look that way. It looks like the PS3 version but with more foilage textures. What's the point? Edited April 29, 2023 by jehurey 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
