Well, the thing with the Switch is the "switch", it's not a PS3 "docked", it's a handheld console that can be played on the TV. No one buys a handheld gaming console and expects it to deliver current gen console graphics...the Steam Deck doesn't deliver that neither and it's from 2022...
A system like Steam Deck, not even available in the general stores and sold in the thousands numbers rather than console-standard millions even at release window...yes, the Deck is very much a niche product until the day its generally available at stores.
Nah, Switch still holds up pretty well...might be that way because most games made to this date have a very low tech base-line as they are still made to work on PS4 and Xbox One.
For all of us who haven't really upgraded to PS5/Xbox Series X, the Switch have hardly aged at all.
I think it's a rather natural fluctuating within a permanent high yearly sales number. It wont hurt Nintendo much going down from something like 23M to 20M one year to the next, it's still a baseline high sales number. If they went down one year to something like 11M, then they would be in more of a hurry to change things up.
One of the plague of Smart TV:s I miss the old days when stuff just worked and you didn't add stuff like firmware in your TV:s as another source of faults.
I thought this would be a topic about clicky vs. mushy buttons. Anyway, I prefer clicky ones as they are more reliable; you feel the 'click', then the game will register the click every time. Mushy buttons like the Pro Controller are no good, it happen relatively often that I don't press down the button right so the membran hits the conductive area, but you can't feel the difference if you hit the button right or wrong.
Nintendo are in a good place as it is already, I don't want anything from Gamepass or Xbox. The only thing Nintendo really needs to Switch online services is Voice Chat by system level instead of the phone app, text messages to friends and mb consider something in the style of street pass and Miiverse.
Not to sure about that. Steam Deck seems to have so many compatibility errors as they do not try out the green lighted games proper. And if the Deck won't be sold to the general public in retails, I doubt Valve will ever take action to really ensure compatibility.
Wii U CPU is basically a tri-core Gamecube CPU with some new instructions. Two cores available. Switch CPU performance available to developers is roughly 30% more powerful than the Wii U one.
Well, I think the 64GB model is pretty much pointless with high end-PC games in mind. 64GB+SDcards works fine for Switch as Nintendo and 3rd parties shrinks the size when they optimize their games for the platform+a huge part of the audience buy's physical games.
I think 256GB is pretty much minimum for a PC gaming console with no physical medium, render the Deck kinda expansive.
Well, with keeping in mind all the stuff Youtube takes down for the most flimsy of reasons, Id say it's not a major "problem" they take down pirated stuff.
Deck is aimed at the PC game library. Yeah, it's getting harder to distinguish between PC:s and consoles, but the Deck will hardly compete that much more with Switch than a laptop PC does, the same way desktop PC:s already have their more or less set market share, so does consoles. I don't think there will be any major contest between Switch and a PC-device, there are some but fairly few consumers who will fluctuate between consoles and PC. Nintendo has far more competition from PS5 and Xbox.
lol, Deck is roughly 70% bigger by square cm and 60% heavier. Yeah, not any significant difference at all... xD
It literally looks twice the Switch size in pics, it's almost like comparing a large smartphone to a tablet computer. The Deck is portable only compared to a large laptop, and me plus many more think it's just too bulky. The ones who doesn't think so, fine. But you don't have to deny the reality to try to deny us who think's it's to bulky our fair point.
Wonder how many PC-gamers would complain about that huge old-Switch style screen frame if the Deck were a Nintendo console and not something from Valve...
Yeah, I imagine. Wonder how close to the Switch-version of Witcher 3 Deck owners will have to downscale their PC-version to get an acceptable battery life out of the device. Id say it probably won't be something like a 100USD worth of an upgrade...
I don't think the transition to PS5 and X-Series will be that big of a problem. Sony and Microsoft are holding that evolution back themselves, PS4 and Xbox One will still be the base-line for most games for years to come, which makes the transition to Switch not that hard.
So far, most -if not all- Xbox Series and PS5 games only sports higher resolutions and framerates, the basic game designs remains compatible to lower-end devices like Xbox One and Switch. Hell, even the Xbox Series S is performance-wise more in line with Xbox One than Xbox Series X...
Microsoft wants Game Pass to work on everything. That means Xbox One will remain the base line for most of their games, maybe this entire generation. So far, this new generations of consoles has been all quality of life and resolutions, the sheer tech itself haven't done any major leap at all, all the games are made to scale down to last gen-level.
Well, 'PC Master race'-folk are fanboys too you know. Just as Nintendo/Sony/Xbox fanboys gets mad when you write you're not interested in their brand, PC-master race boys gets mad if you write that you prefer to play on console over PC.
That's OK by me, I hardly ever buy ports to play on my Switch. I wouldn't buy a handheld console with the intent of getting the best graphics anyway, I buy Nintendo consoles to play mostly Nintendo games. You won't get the best graphics on Deck neither.
No, it's nothing wrong with specifically my computer, it's compatibility issues within Windows and versions of Windows, and software issues related to Steam, and thats the point with me saying Im not interested in a Steam-computer device, Im a console player. It's in other words universal problems within playing on PC and Steam. You're denying what everyone knows about Steam and playing on PC. It won't get you any points to deny the reality for what it is.
Nope, I couldn't have. Switch is very straight forward and well-optimized software & UI-wise. Everything is easy to find, and the games starts every time.
Nope, sorry, it doesn't just work. Many games, you just install them on Steam and want to play, then they wont start by the steam luncher. You troubleshoot it and you get the info that you manually have to download community made patches that might or might not work etc.
Seem to be the same thing with Deck as it is with Steam on Windows, just worse. As I said, I'm not interested in wasting my time on such things, I prefer to play on console where everything just works by default. I don't care if the game costs 29.99 on Steam while 59.99 on console, I'm just happy that it always just works on consoles like Switch. But I do think Deck might be a just fine product for PC-players who are very used to coping with the mess anyway.
Yeah, Switch with some kind of silicon grips on the joy-cons and it's OK for playing handheld for an hour or two. But I always turn it tabletop if I plan to play undocked for prolonged periods, like 2-3hrs. I hate the feeling of making the Switch super-long like with Hori Split Pad, it feels like a snowboard. As you say, Switch already reaches the upper limit for what size I can accept for a handheld. Deck is almost twice the mass and over 600 grams...
For me, the Deck is just jack of all trades that just doesn't get any of it right. While the Switch is just small enough to be somewhat convenient to take on the go, Deck is about as portable as a 15-inch laptopwith no battery life. As Switch is comfortable even for long portable play thanks to table top-mode with the kickstand, Deck is handheld-only and can therefor in my opinion only be used with comfort for like 30 minutes or so. Renders it kinda bad for portable play...which is a real problem as it's clearly designed for that in mind. Further more, it doesn't neither get the docked play right. No dock included, and also inconvenient to "switch" between docked an portable, as it doesn't work with a slide-in dock as the Nintendo Switch.
And for some reason they cheaped put on the display even on the 649USD premium version....why???
Im gonna skip the Deck. I don't like Steam, it's messy and inconvenient, and the Deck seem to be more of that, were you have to consult guides and stuff just to get the games running. Not for me as a console gamer.
Further more, doesn't interest me in the slightest if Switch "only" has 10.000 games while Steam has 100.000 games. Switch has more great games than I have time to play anyway, so I'm not buying another console just to get even more games to my backlog.
"greed" to take criminals to court xD Whats wrong with the philosophy of Adults taking responsibility for their own actions? Bowser Spending a year or two in jail won't ruin or end his life. He has the choice to turn things around when he gets out.
Everyone makes up history as they want it to be. Im not religious, I don't believe I will be up on judgement day because I didn't take side with criminals... xD
I do however believe that the rule of law is the only way to live if we want a somewhat peaceful society. It will probably do this Bowser-guy good to spend a couple of years inside. At least if he got a working brain in his head and are prepared to make a living in an honest way in the future.
Nope, as far as I know, Nintendo haven't done anything major immoral since the 90's cartel price control in EU. Nintendo creates jobs and values in peoples lives, taking criminals to court is something good that every honest citizen should appreciate. Criminals are like parasites who weakens and poisons our society.
lol, so it's still Evil to want Law & Order? Some of the teen-communists on the internet makes it sound like Nintendo tortures this guy and other pirates. He will never pay anything of what he owes Nintendo, he will do a couple of years in jail, go on parole and do a dept restrucruring. After that, he will probably fall back into life of crime again and do a couple of more years in jail. BUHU, big corporate Nintendo so bad for taking criminals to court! Defund the police, let everyone have everything for free, corporations are insured etc etc etc. xD
Yeah, I can see that. That Phil Spencer-guy is one of the best personalities that's happened the gaming industry in recent years. Funny how it might bring Activision support to Switch with the company owned by Microsoft/Xbox, while as an independent third-party, they gave Switch minimal support.
Nope, it's equal bad of a crime stealing from a wealthy corporation as from a struggling one. There is no robin hood-excuses for any type of crime. We can't start giving criminals excuses because they rob a wealthy old lady in the streets instead of a poor one.
We agree on that violent crimes should be punished harsher. But the solution is not to be softer on theft and that sort of crimes, There is big, big problems with that type of crime in the US. The correct way to go about it is tougher on crime across the board, especially violent crimes. We need to start locking up lifestyle criminals for life. 3 times and you're out, that's a very good policy.
Crime is on the rise, have you completely missed that? This is no time to speak for softening up. We have people setting in system of mass-looting. It's on the brink of mutiny. It's really the time now to set the foot down and lock 'em up.
What the company is worth hasn't anything to do with it, you don't get a free pass to commit crimes against big companies because they make money. And one wrong doesn't make another wrong right. If the penalties for sexual assault is too light, then the way of correcting it is not to make penalties for theft lighter. The correct way is to be tougher on crime across the board.
I don't get it. Why would anyone take a criminal in defense because he "went against a big company"? It's like taking the rioters in California in defense because they steal from companies. I rather take those companies in defense rather than crims that think the world owes them a living.
I actually have no problems at all with Goldeneye controls even today when I play it on my good ol' 64. I find them actually to be easier than modern console FPS, as by the shooting gallery-like game design, you don't really do much aiming.
I really hope Nintendo and Microsoft makes the real deal here, and brings it to both Switch and Gamepass with onlineplay and united player pool. I really miss classic non-Call of Duty FPS multiplayer like Goldeneye...
I think OG Switch pretty much is at the limit in what I can accept for a portable system when comes to bulkiness/size, wight and batterylife. Deck is a good idea, but as it's just too big, plus only digital, with 2 hrs battery life. I think it should probably be sent back to the writing table. 64GB is really Nothing when it can't take any physical games. Nintendo Switch only works for me as the majority of the bigger games I own are on cartridge.
