Playstation Tablet 1,769 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) The hardware has become amazing, Steamdeck which is not even the most powerful handheld kit and is outperformed other handheld platforms like Ally, Switch 2 included can run EVERY high end game. With Switch 2 we'll be hitting 2+gbps storage which is extremely close to a Series console SSD. Hellblade 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield etc all run at a solid FPS like their console counterparts. They don't even to cut the framerate in half to achieve this. If we were to compare it to previous gens, it's the PSP being able to run Gears of War, Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2. Or the GBA being able to run GTA3 and MGS2 in an acceptable form. Now we have huge ass 7"+ OLED screens, full controller buttons, comfy grips and what not. I have never been this pleased with handhelds in a long time, and we are finally getting away from the position that handheld games somehow need to be gimped designwise, and that games need to be designed with " portability" in mind, Leave that shit for the phone market. Now it's legit console level epic experiences. Fucking DS was a cancer on the marlet with its ghetto touch controls, and games that would never fly on a conso.le. On top of the amazing handheld performance we get, there is always a docked mode for that extra juice which is just an amazing concept of switching on the fly. As a person that owned the green/black Gameboy I just can't believe how far we have come Edited May 25 by Playstation Tablet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,769 Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 Alan Wake 2 is the only Steamdeck game that runs kinda meh. If SD actually had DLSS, this would be a completely different story in portable mode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,225 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I really don’t see how this is any different than the original PSP and Vita outside of the industry changing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,769 Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 SD is weaker than Switch 2, has no DLSS even digital foundry says it's not THAT faraway from the Series S. Imagine what a docked Switch 2 would do for this game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vita was a turbo XBox 1 with much more RAM. PS360 games were very downgraded on it, forget about that thing running PS4 games in ANY form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,769 Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 I don't know what the power difference will be between Switch 2 and XBoy, but it won't be insanely huge and since XBoy will have the majority of third party support so will Switch 2. Plus chances are that Sony is also coming out with some sort of handheld. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,920 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I don’t like playing bigger AAA titles on SD. I mostly play older games and indie titles Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine what a docked Switch 2 would do for this game. Why would you think Switch 2 will be in the same league as Series S? Nintendo has never made a true PS4-caliber game.
