@JaxonH I was about to ask whether DLSS had to be implemented/coded into their games or if was done by the chipset on all games regardless. But then I saw the last post of yours and it answered my question.

@FragRed
I'm not sure how much work is involved- you'd have to do some digging to get a developer's perspective, but I do know each game requires work specific to that title. Hence why only select games on Steam offer DLSS as an option.

Man, what a week!

We got a new Dragon Quest game and a new Final Fantasy and both are excellent on Switch!

I've mostly been spending time with River City Girls. Struggled to get into it at first, but the more moves you unlock, the deeper the combat gets. The combos are simple, but there's a lot of interesting ways to combine attacks. I still think enemies HP pools feel a bit too padded for my liking, and some of the bosses are aggravating, but it's a cool game overall.

My Switch's fan is really loud and it's only on the home menu, this is the second time it's done this and this time it's not stopping.

I'm going to exchange my Switch tomorrow.

The Switch is now my least favorite console because of the freaking errors

@kaisu I'm gonna exchange it and get an OLED. This has been quite the year for me and the Switch.

It's not dirty at all it's pretty much like new

OLED is on some very mid range phones, it's not a flagship feature and hasn't been for a while. Case and point my current phone is 3-4X cheaper than what most people would call flagship phones. It has more power than the Switch OLED and a similarly sized screen. It was intact cheaper than the Switch OLED. Its screen is OLED, 1080p, 90Hz.....

Ray Tracing is super old, probably older than other 3D rendering techniques I think. The problem is it takes a lot of calculations because instead of going "this pixel intersects with this part of this object with X lighting and Y texture" you go "this pixel intersects with this part of this object at X angle with Y properties and then scatters to new paths that hit.... and hits this light source"

All NVidia did was come out with a card that could do those calculations fast enough it became viable for gaming first. That's it

One of my UNI assignments more than 10 years go (oof) involved playing around with a
Ray Tracing renderer. All of the blockbuster CG animated movies are ray traced

@skywake i see i trough most Samsung phones used OLED display(or AMOLED as they said in most of they in the intermidiate premium phone like the A and M line and the top of the top with fold and S line), i always associate OLED display with Samsung(they use it in everything).

@Kermit1Pineapple Restarting the console fixes that. I've had that problem since last year (randomly occurs) but refuse to get a replacement Switch because of how sure I am that TotK launches with more powerful hardware.

Wow. Looks like we're about to have access to FF 1 - 10 and 12 on a Nintendo console.

Other than FF7R, those are pretty much all of the Final Fantasy games worth owning.

FF 1 - X, X-2, XII, XV Mobile, Crisis Core, World of Final Fantasy, Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon, Chocobo Racing (but we dont talk about that one) and likely, eventually, Tactics Remastered.

And sure, XV wasn't the best, and the mobile version is a lesser version of it, but it's still a fun enough game and the mobile version is actually pretty good if you can get past the art style.

Crisis Core, X and XII are the big ones though.

@JaxonH III - VI are shockingly good games for their time. It'll be so nice not having to dig out old handhelds to play them now. Especially with the improvements S-E has made on some of them.

I just hope SE doesn't drop these releases piecemeal like they did on mobile/PC.

Why can't we get remasters like these of the DQ games? I - III are on Switch in a form (with atrocious visuals, but still), but IV - VI have been MiA on everything but mobile for years now.

@Ralizah Don't forget 15 Pocket Edition (or whatever they called it)
