@hd94 hating a game for its source country is childish? on the contrary my boy, it's an old way of thinking that will hopefully die someday, I just happen to be from that generation and not planning to change my opinions because of some rando on the internet.
As long as there's no transition to a different "battle area" it's fine by me, I grew up with these games so I'm totally fine with the classic approach
Not gonna lie, if I made a console to run my own games and then some other company releases a console that can illegally* run my games, I'd also be pissed.
@BenAV well, when the bar is that low you don't need much to improve it, but still, to me it doesn't feel like an unfinished and janky product, it feels like effort and risks to change a VERY conservative series.
Imho the world doesn't need a successor to the Switch yet, with the OLED model Nintendo extended the console's life at least 2 more years, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Will see how things turn out when the Steam Deck hits the market, but I'm confident that while Nintendo keeps playing their own game they won't feel too much of an impact.
what's up with those analog sticks? The Switch already proved you can implement decent sticks on a handheld, no need to go back to 3DS/ PSP style flat thumbpads..
Pokémon is the most valuable media franchise in the world, so this shouldn't look "Ok", this should look like the most valuable media franchise in the world. The game world looks bland, the textures look basic and uninspired, and I've seen better looking water in Ps Vita games.
Am I the only one who's going to point out the switch side was captured at a lower resolution? I don't wanna sound like a fanboy or anything but I own both the (ported)Vita and Switch versions and the latter (in portable mode) is MILES better! Can't say much about docked mode since I own a Lite, but since we are comparing with a Vita I think portable would be the sensible choice anyway.
@Spider-Kev "you'll need to be in a relatively darkened room and have the unit's brightness turned up to spot it", if they wrote that I'm assuming the trick uses the backlight from the display.
I've been having fun with the games so far and don't mind too much the problems people have been pointing out. But still, I'm grateful for this and other sites for criticizing the game so heavily and making Rockstar/ Grove Street Games take care of those final details. Ngl adding some fog and fixing the objects popping in would be very nice.

Re: Random: Fan-Made 'Next-Gen PlayStation Portable' Concept Imagines A World Where Sony Takes On Nintendo (Again)
@RadioHedgeFund it so happens I had the opposite experience, I replaced both analog sticks on my Vita (proof: https://www.reddit.com/r/vita/comments/roz735/another_successful_operation_so_far_ive_changed/) but never had any malfunction on my 3 yo switch. Where are you using yours btw? in a war zone?
Re: Random: Fan-Made 'Next-Gen PlayStation Portable' Concept Imagines A World Where Sony Takes On Nintendo (Again)
@WhiteUmbrella I absolutely did, name a handheld with better analog sticks I dare you
