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. Edited August 17, 2023 by sugarhigh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stream Deck power - at best 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

MalaXmaS 648 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Everytime a new Nintendo platform is coming, Sheep love to hype the fuck out of it. When Switch was a reality, sheep said it would do 4k gaming, PS4, at least Xbox One quality, and look what they got, 720p quality at best. Tshbfr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,925 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I don’t think people should underestimate Nintendo. Switch pre-dated a lot of these windows gaming handhelds we see today so for its time it did a lot in terms of processing power, battery life, noise, weight, ergonomics, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,726 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 PS5 Pro will probably have issues with RT and suck at it. Expecting RT from Switch 2 is insane. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To the contrary, I welcome a new Zelda, Metroid or any of the franchises they do. But when you have nearly 80% of the developers downscaling their games or not even bothering to do anything with it, while they keep getting the same last gen or two gens ago ports, they you know its pointless to talk specs with any Nintendo platform.

Red Dead Redemption is literally the same game engine used in GTAV The power was tapped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
