I’m using an Ultra Gear 27” LCD paired with an NVIDIA 4080. So I’m using G-Sync and NVIDIA’s low latency mojo. The switch won’t be as powerful obviously but I expect switch 2 basically to be emulating the type of experience I am getting, in handheld. It’s absolutely brilliant. I expect the switch in handheld will be a great experience. One thing is how awesome my pixel art games look. Playing the Steam version of Chrono Trigger and Dave the Diver on it these days and they look so good.
But motion blur or response time isn’t gonna be an issue in handheld. It’s gonna be a fantastic experience, I’m confident.
I put in 185 hours into CP 2077 when it launched on a PS4 Pro. Another few hundred when I got a series X. Now a few hundred more on the PC I built. Even without the high end PC visuals CP2077 has become the GOAT. To get that entire game on a cart is legendary and I want a switch 2 and a cart of that even if I don’t play it much. I am a little worried to see what it’s like but again, I played the much maligned launch and it was still a good game that became exceptional so I have not doubt it will be good, but I hope they can capture the feel of the PC version in terms of density and detail. It won’t have the full scope of course but they just need to keep the vibe and I think they’ll do it. On a high PC I just walk around dazed by what’s happening on screen.
Grew up with an NES but if Nintendo was the only game in town I wouldn’t be a gamer. I got a switch because of all the third party games in hand held and I do love the xenoblade games. I just don’t have a reason to buy this time. Playing CP with full path tracing and I’m not going back; I love xenoblade but not enough to own a switch 2 just for oerformance; I think switch 2 will do well but it’s never gonna be as omnipotent as the switch.
But it was Bioshock and Witcher 3 and Doom in handheld that got me to buy a switch and not only did I discover handheld gaming sucks for me, I now have many other options to switch. There are a lot of gamers like me. Switch 2 needs to hit 100 million and I think it’ll do that but no place near as many as switch 1.
Such a bunch of BS. Nintendo has for my entire life (born in 76) delivered a simplified gaming experience; not to be conflated with better. This will sell early but a year or two from now I think switch 2 is already left behind.
@BradlyOverrated
The swap is definitive you’re right.
Those original visuals are still some of the most unsettling I’ve come across in gaming. They aren’t scary but can be deeply unsettling and the bright, detailed visuals of the remaster absolutely remove that entire atmosphere.
After that? Well I think the original stands alone as a masterpiece and maybe the sequels aren’t even close. The “ghosts of halo” is always a fun look at gaming history. sniffle
There’s only one way the Switch 2 actually flops and if things go that sideways - and I’d be among those that say there’s a fair chance they could - nobody here will be worried about the switch 2 for a while. It’s not panic time yet but grab your Rosary.
The original Halo is a liminal space master piece that is ruined by the remastered visuals. Always play with the original visuals. For those who don’t know you can just press a button to easily swap between the two.
Oh please, Expedition 33 please be good and give square a wake up call. We need new blood. Like a Dragon is awesome but satire doesn’t rewrite the book, it just pokes fun at it. Expedition 33 this month and my fingers are crossed.
Really love the Xenoblade games and I’m enjoying Chronicles, but this is a mediocre game at best. A technical marvel it is not. If anyone other than Nintendo released a game that not only isn’t modern, but still has obvious pop in and frame problems, they’d get bashed. You guys need a new system desperately if you think this is modern. Not to mention awful menus; they’re clunky. I enjoy it, it’s good, it’s 8/10. But the xenoblade games would be so much better if not for Nintendo. They’re being held back.
NVIDIA DLSS is a powerful tool. On the PC it’s done truly remarkable things even though that gets lost in peoples lust for a delusion of perfection. I don’t know what they’ve got cooked up with Switch 2 but I don’t expect it to be a mere PS4. I have lots of questions, like refresh rates. On PC, I already want to be pushing at least 50 frames before I use frame generation preferably 60. Really I expect games in the 90’s and frame gen is intended to fill out the refresh rate of your screen. Then If a game runs at 30 doubling frames to 60 feels like crap and has artifacts. What’s the goal? How did they solve this? What’s the refresh rate on the screen? But I believe they’ve got a good plan.
That said, the only reason I need a switch is for xenoblade. I don’t pirate games and that’s the only place I can play them but I think I’m done. I’m curious still but as of now I don’t plan on getting a switch 2.
Wow, a crossover I care about! Like a Dragon and Infinite Wealth are two of my all time favorites. My heart is with the first game though. I am playing it multiple times, this time on my Portal. I’ve finished on PC and series X and PS4. I enjoy Dave the Diver but sat it down after finishing it. I will be dusting it off for this though.
This feels sleazy by Nintendo and it’s always sad to see Ninty fanboys zealously defend them. One day, Nintendo’s inner working will be exposed and we will see just how sleazy they are. Until then, you guys can continue to fawn over mediocre games.
My digital collection of the last 15 years, on PC and all my consoles, has been more immutable and permanent than any of my physical media.
Consoles die, retailers stop carrying things, that’s life. You guys acting like this is a case for physical media are delusional. My digital library on PS3 still works. My PS3 won’t live much longer but until the physical console dies, I expect the games are still there.
Nothing lasts forever. Including your precious physical media.
It’s definitely a game made for kids. As in young kids, under 10. I tried it a while back, maybe there’s a good game in there but it’s not really made for you. Unless you’re under 10….
I think a lot of peoples views on business and the “industry”, which your favorite YT’ers know all of crap about, amounts to superstition. Those big bad CEO’s….
Everyone is being cynical and I think that’s more a result of social media than anything the industry has actually done. It’s getting dull and very predictable.
@mlt

The ultimate fact is, I don’t think anyone under age 30 will get into these and I wouldn’t recommend them. Unless they’re just a HC gamer. Really really into gamings origins.
@zool What’s your interest? Nostalgia? Curiosity? That’s very subjective.
Personally TR 2 alone would be worth it to me. If you’re Nostalgia hunting for just one I’d say it’s worth it. If you take the time to learn to play these old games again, you might like me find yourself loving all 3.
Overall I think it’s good value at 30$ US. Your mileage may vary.
@JohnnyMind Fair enough that you could say an option would be preferable, but I still disagree on that point and:
I don’t think saving is clunky at all. Yeah, I’ve made the mistake of either loading when I meant to save or saving in a bad spot (I leave a trail of save files though) but I find its menus very elegant. And I hand t even thought about soft locking yourself but checkpoints could make that a real concern.
That’s why I ask. Did NL really play these games? You don’t need to be very far into TR2 to recognize it as a different animal from modern games.
Okay, also fair to decry that as subjective. But I think all the “quality of life” stuff has taken away so much from the gaming experience. I find TR Remasters faithfulness to the originals both functional and elegant.
I’m just old now though because I now realize: I’d take these over any modern game. Ever since the release of TR 2 I had wondered where the magic had gone. And they can’t recreate this. These are a product of their time and the limits of the time. And that time is gone.
Uncharted; Ghost of Tsushima; Assassin's Creed; the list goes on and on. I thought it was me. It wasn’t, it’s the games. That’s why Nintendo I think resonates with me. They’ve remained the most true to some core values and their modern games reflect that.
Still it’s for less handholding; less exposition; radio chatter; checkpoints; I’d love to go back to a more primitive era. I’m old.
Manual saving is such a relief in these games. That’s insane to think reliance on any checkpoint system is helpful. One wrong move can kill you for extended segments. Do yourself a favor if you want to beat these and keep all your hair: save often. Very often. Especially those of you who never use guides or walkthrough.
TR 2 on checkpoints would be so painful. And ditch modern controls. Get used to tank. Once you understand the move set and get good, tank is far faster and more accurate. Get those side jumps down for fast positioning. Encounters are a puzzle not twitch. Save your game and use your head.
Checkpoints …. ffs. PS1 TR 2 had save any place. It’s so easy to die and they can do that because it’s not a checkpoint system. Having it on 1&3 is a bonus. Especially on handheld. You can chip away at these very difficult and time consuming games, piece by piece. Even if you’re using a guide it’s helpful. Every jump you make is progress. Please don’t ask for checkpoints….. these are not f’n modern games. Did you even play these games? Some of those trap segments without the ability to save as you make it through would be so much worse on checkpoints. They’re extended and you just die if you are slightly off or miss times and even when you make it, it was mostly luck.
I wish Insomiac’s Sunset Overdrive would come to other platforms. It won’t. It’s doomed to limbo. Best Insomniac game and one of my all time favorites.
@GrailUK F2P is not anything like a beggar asking for money on the streets. That’s a ridiculous analogy. You need to get out of the house and stop playing video games and get some perspective back.
These people aren’t helpless, living off their meager MS wages. They’re adults with skills and they work in an entertainment industry. I don’t want to anger everyone, but the malice we show one human being, while pretending to be defending another, is awful.
News for you people: All living beings suffer and we as individuals have no idea what personal battles someone fights. Be they a CEO or a janitor. With the little information we have, the rhetoric here is just pitch forks.
Gamers simultaneously trash the games being made, then act as if every one of those 2,000 jobs is a precious and innocent family loving individual being treated unjustly? Those big evil corporations… that fill your entire life with toys.
It’s an entertainment industry. It’s especially volatile. These people aren’t dependent on their companies to survive. They are not going to starve and their children won’t be wearing rags. An employee is not a dependent. It’s your job to protect yourself and your family.
To simultaneously be so vile and reprehensible towards people you think deserve it, and get on high horses and after bashing the games being, act like your heart goes out to those poor unjustly treated developers is hypocrisy. This is genuinely becoming disturbing levels of ignorance; bias; and vitriol.
@Vexx234
I’m done with the games. Nostalgia is the death of hope. I just don’t care. I only hesitate if my experience will be affected at the time.
And that’s what matters to me, as time is more valuable than money. But once I am done I am not a collector and I do not like owning a bunch of stuff.
So I think that it is delusional; the idea that stuff actually matters to you. It’s getting old seeing influencers sit in front of a bunch of media that defines them.
@popey1980 I had zero problems with Control, the only one I’ve played; no problems with the RE Village demo, either. Control was nearly flawless for the 25 or so hours I spent with the game but I didn’t finish all the DLC.
I think people have a delusional concept of owning things forever. Funny thing happens when you buy stuff “to own forever”: it ends up owning you. All things are transient.
Played the first on PS4 Pro, I’ll be getting this for Switch Cloud. I played Control on Switch Cloud and for maybe 30 seconds of the 30 hours I spent with that game I had issues that let me know I was using the Cloud.
The Village demo ran great. I have no problem with the cloud. It’s better than buying hardware I don’t want. I’m holding out for the next from Nintendo. I just don’t want to be on Sony or MS machines.
I have never had problems streaming. So for me having the option to play some games I really wanted without getting new hardware is more than worth it. I really enjoyed the first Plague Tale so I was looking forward to this. When I do get new hardware one day, I’ll probably play it again if I like it.
I’ve had a remarkable experience on my connection today. It’s been a really great way to play one of my all time favorites. I’m down for more cloud games and I’m paying for the experience I want now.
You people and your talk about control over media is delusional. I think your stuff owns you, and not you owning your stuff.
@sleepinglion It’s nice that they’re different but these comments border on obnoxious.
They’re two machines that play video games and these two are in direct competition.
The kicker here is Nintendo, especially if you’re buying Ninty games, is far more expensive. You’ll double the cost of a Switch with games in no time, while with Steam you will be fighting off good 5$ games with a stick.
Atlus doesn’t have fantastic stories, what they have are characters and stories with a certain charm.
That’s just a terrible idea. But I expect to have to dig out old hardware when I want to play it.
If they change a hair on its head, it might be a good game, but it wouldn’t be Persona 3.
But I’m not sure how well Persona 3’s guns used in the animations will sit with an audience today. I think Persona fell off after 3. 4 was okay, 5 was …. I didn’t like it. So I just want to be able to play 3 on recent hardware instead of having old stuff hooked up.
This notion that “they both do different things” is simply false. They both play video games. Different vibe and nuances aside, they’re game machines.
And as far as money, you’ll save a ton more money with a Steamdeck. Nintendos eShop and game prices in general are much higher, often for the same game.
I love my Switch but it’ll never have some of my favorite games, the Steamdeck automatically has access to a vast library. Nintendo and it’s bizarre anniversary games that see a limited release really annoy me. Unless that changes, I don’t plan on another Nintendo system.
@dkxcalibur
And your take is too anecdotal. Of course, as a paid coach, you’ll be interacting with kids highly motivated to participate in athletics.
While not perfect, the perspective of someone recruiting (hoovering up anyone willing) from the general population as a whole, will be more insightful.

That’s just a terrible idea. But I expect to have to dig out old hardware when I want to play it.
If they change a hair on its head, it might be a good game, but it wouldn’t be Persona 3.
But I’m not sure how well Persona 3’s guns used in the animations will sit with an audience today. I think Persona fell off after 3. 4 was okay, 5 was …. I didn’t like it. So I just want to be able to play 3 on recent hardware instead of having old stuff hooked up.

I disagree. How large is just the Steam Library? Containing games going back over the history of PC gaming in particular.
Add windows and more functionality and the Steamdeck is not what I want for AAA games. All much, much cheaper to buy than anything on Switch.
It’s for the largest library of classic games. That’s why I want it.
Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You Would Like More Nintendo Switch Games
Persona 3 FES, as I’m playing it now on a PS3, doesn’t need a remake. Just a good port.
Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You Would Like More Nintendo Switch Games
Persona 3 FES on Switch would be an instant buy for me. I’d then have most my favorite RPG on the system.
I’d only be missing games that have no hope, like Sunset OD. Getting a Steamdeck just to have that in handheld.
Re: Feature: Handheld Face-Off - Nintendo Switch OLED Model Vs Steam Deck
This notion that “they both do different things” is simply false. They both play video games. Different vibe and nuances aside, they’re game machines.
And as far as money, you’ll save a ton more money with a Steamdeck. Nintendos eShop and game prices in general are much higher, often for the same game.
I love my Switch but it’ll never have some of my favorite games, the Steamdeck automatically has access to a vast library. Nintendo and it’s bizarre anniversary games that see a limited release really annoy me. Unless that changes, I don’t plan on another Nintendo system.

Worth taking a look at, but just filler until TMNT finally arrives.

You’re going to have to install OS though. I mean yeah, it’s just a PC. But what a silly pain In the ass and what a waste to put windows on it.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Of Valve's Steam Deck Are In - What's It Like Compared To Switch?
For me this is absolutely competition for the Switch but:
When I think Valve and Steam, customer service does not roll off the tongue. That will probably keep me from ever being interested.
Anyone here ever had a dispute with Steam or Valve? They literally don’t have customer service.

@Astral-Grain
Fair enough but I know I will just miss Persona 3.
I got bogged down in SMT 5. Meh….
Re: Out Now: Monark Gets A Dramatic New Trailer To Celebrate Its Launch
Far too derivative of Persona. Doesn’t look original or interesting.

Get you to buy twice?
I played this on the Dreamcast way back when. I don’t think I could get into this remastered version. Cool to see it wasn’t forgotten though.

It’s a little amusing that the title of the article doesn’t include the title of the award, but an analogy. That’s how important this award is.

You can get angry about it, or you could take a good hard look.
But the day will come to pass when you’re looking back. May you, on that day, be satisfied.

You missed the entire point of the word “anecdotal”.

Youth is wasted on the young.
I feel really bad for some of you. As you age, it’s not going to be fun. Sitting on your ass all day and playing games is a life wasted.

And your take is too anecdotal. Of course, as a paid coach, you’ll be interacting with kids highly motivated to participate in athletics.
While not perfect, the perspective of someone recruiting (hoovering up anyone willing) from the general population as a whole, will be more insightful.

Yes, bone density will diminish. Your skeleton is not supposed to be Gumby.
It seems from a lot of the comments, some people are not even on speaking terms with actual fitness.
