ID be happy if they at least could add a search category for horror genre.

@Mr-Fuggles777

lol, the same console that goes from an old power PC/Amd architecture to arm and nvidia. Id say you cant take a much further step than that. But sure, I guess one could reason that PS5 is only a PS3 Pro too, it did release with a PS3 game at higher resolution after all...

@Dragwhite

Its not strange, Its a better game than anything released on PS5/Xbox Sersies...

Makes no difference to me.

Oh no! Not even the sun lasts forever!

lol, its not "blindly defending" corporations to come down on piracy/theft. The argument that Nintendo's pace in developing games or hardware fault with joy-con drift, somehow makes it OK to pirate their content, makes literally no sense at all. It would be a weak defence in court to argue that you did the right thing to steal in a store bcause you don't like their candy.

"Crime is OK cause I dont like the company anyways."

Grow up, teenage socialists

@CarlosM87

Well, you just told me I have the right to my opinions, but now you can't tolerate that my opinions cause you think it offends you? Make up your mind. I don't think Im more clever then the rest, I just pointed out that your reasoning is immature. That you find that offensive pretty much proves my point.

I don't love Nintendo, I care for their products as I enjoy them and grew up with them, I care what happens to my favorite brands in the foodmart too...And I do think it's a difference between doing honest and dishonest business. You don't have to play tough don't caring about anything, just further proves my point about your way of reasoning. You just need to grow up a bit

@CarlosM87 Me, and many others, obviously cares what happens to Nintendo as we enjoy their products. You having the right to your opinion, I never claimed that you didn't, doesn't give your particular opinion any sense anyway. I don't see any logic in why it wouldn't be OK for a company to defend their legal rights against individuals. Yes, I have noticed you have some kind of kindergarten reasoning that a company shouldn't use its legal department (or something like that) against individuals. You think it should be a limit only one lawyer gets to work a case against one individual? lol, so ridiculous

Switch is a fairly sturdy piece of hardware at a low price point. I don't think Nintendo builds their consoles with built-in lifespan as certain phone manufacturers do. It survives a drop better than many phones and the components aren't made to lose performance over time.

lol, so you claim you are a gamer, but you don't care about games. Fair point.

@CarlosM87

Is it a competition in having the most teen-socialist opinions? The civilized society works thanks to most people respects and upholds legal rights and the law in general. The good guys is the guys trying to uphold an honest business, no matter what you think their "piece of plastic" is worth, and us customers who will have to pay in the end cause some people take on themself the illegal "right" not to pay for products they choose to use anyways.

@BloodNinja

No, its nothing wrong with a company protecting its legal rights against an individual exploiting their security and therefore hurting the company to make his own profit. The only unethical in all this is to make profit by facilitating piracy or cheating.

@Mr-Fuggles777

I don't have a problem with people making money in fair and honest way. It's a difference between selling an unlicensed controller, that business model is not about making money of people illegally downloading games. In the same time, it is wrong selling accessories made for cheating in online competitive games. In the same logic, it's not wrong making money on collecting, but I do think ocher is wrong.

@Mr-Fuggles777

"The little guy" is just making profits using a corporate form of theft. I rather defend hard working game designers whos work gets pirated/stolen by the business model of these little guys whos "work" is to parasitize on others. You guys defend scalpers as well?

@BloodNinja

These individuals are pretty much just criminals.

I do wonder what Nintendo is up to, messing around with the bluetooth and wi-fi in two updates. I still hope they are preparing for bt-audio.

@Coxula

8bitdo, can't use it as it got Playstation-style symmetric sticks

@IsabelleIsHot

Got so many hardcore gamers on Switch toward the Smash-community. Just not that many towards FPS-games. Id say the difference is that hardcore Nintendo gamers plays other types of games than say Xbox gamers thats just plays PC-games as Xbox got no exclusives.

@Snatcher

Switch Pro Controller doesn't have more drift than Dual Shock or XBox controller. It's not possible to "fix", all potentiometers can get drift.

1. Eternal Darkness
2. Wave Race
3. Star Fox

lol, they should really stop calling windows tablets "gaming consoles". Thats just a low-spec laptop at a very high price.

I actually stopped playing it in early november, just today I started again. Happy to see all my villagers are still there

@-Juice-

No, I can't agree it's hard to play because of jaggies. I hardly ever think about it, its a great and beautiful game.
I play and enjoy botw for what it is, Im not so much into spending my time comparing the jaggies to PS4 games, I prefer to enjoy the game instead...

@COVIDberry
That "emptiness" of "activities" are what I consider some of the best parts of the game. When you just walk the landscape, scanning the horizon for clues of where to go next. Such a great design.

@COVIDberry

I was writing about the resolution, I don't think it's a good idea to take the sharpness to an excessive level when the assets are not made with that clarity in mind, it just spoils parts of the design made to be blurred or diffuse. Its a bit like when you play an old game made to be shown on a CRT on a flat TV instead. And I consider botw to have great reflections and lighting model, I don't see ray-tracing doing much for this game in particular.

I would like to see better draw distance in Botw, for sure.And higher framerate too. But I don't see any reason to go higher resolution-wise than 1080p.

Depends on what you're after. Sharper image are somewhat easier on the eyes and more realistic looking, but I prefer botw in the more diffuse 720-900p resolution, it fits the art design better. Super resolutions does nothing to benefit the undetailed simplified textures in botw, it actually makes them look worse.

@Ganner

Well, some "Switch-owners" seems to have bought the system only to complain about it. We have now been informed for 4 years that the portable Switch is not as powerful as PS4. But lets complain about it for another 4 years with every third party game release...

@JSG87

Thats games today.
It feels stupid today to even get games at release. Most times, I wait at least a couple of weeks so major glitches are fixed.

@ARhollow

Well, thats confusing cause your first reply in this thread was to my comment about frame drops

@ARhollow

lol, you haven't noticed that developers these days fixes up their games after release by patching them? And I don't think anyone mentioned it going to 60fps, it was mentioned fixing the frame drops.

@ARhollow

I think they can. Its not like theyre going from 30 to 60 fps, then it would be halted by the hardware. They can always gain a 5 fps or so here and there were it regular drops by optimizations.

I like the Switch port overall, image quality, draw distance and controls are all pretty good. The only real downer is that it doesn't stick too well to 30fps, that should be the major point to fix

@mikegamer

amoled is oled...

@Bonsai_Banana

No, phones are by design pretty bad at managing heat due to they are closed designs. Phones gets far warmer than Switch consoles if you watch movies or play games on them. The fact that Switch has a beafy cooling solution is due to the fact that Nintendo can't make a gaming console that drops the CPU clocks after 20 minutes like phones does to manage heat.

Heat generated isn't the problem when the heat travels by heatpipes and airflow to the outside air, the heat becomes a problem when it gets stuck in the device for a long time as with a phone. Thats when the device gets hot to the touch and might inflict with the display and other components

@Bonsai_Banana

Phones actually gets far hotter than a Switch or Switch Lite. Not that strange, Switch got a huge heatpipe and actually real ventilation with a fan, pushing the heat straight out from the console. Thats why Switch wont feel hot to the touch even if played for like 6 hours, while a phone can get hot to the touch after 20 minutes using a browser.

@pennylessz

I read it as you had problems with a Samsung phone back in the PS Vita days, 2011-2012. I didn't know you meant 2017. I have a 2017 Samsung phone too with amoled, zero problems 4 years later... Their amoled-panels had problems around Galaxy S3-days back in 2012, with burn-ins and unsharpness due to 720p-panels combined with the amoled-problem "space in between pixels". None of these are problems with their 2017-phones. And nowadays, the sub-pixels that degenerate and causes burn-in problems are so much durable in both Samsung and LG Oleds, plus all modern equipment with oled panels has tech that dims bright colors in the least durable sub-pixels.

@pennylessz

lol, PS VIta, that was 10 years ago!
Back then it was "normal" to have 3 or 4 dead pixels without you got it fixed on warrenty and Samsung OLED-screens back then was terrible cause they would be blurry no matter what resolution due to space in between the pixels. Major problems back in 2011 simple isnt major problems to day, they are minor problems.

@Sebazy

As I said, I don't even consider it a problem these days. If you buy an OLED-TV to have it as a menu-sign for your pizza-place, sure you can get burn-ins and´you can probably get it if you leave your TV with a PC or console dashboard on it for hours. But then its the customers fault, not a real weakness in the technology.

@sanderev

If you sit on the main OS-menu for a month, sure. Otherwise, no way.
Guy in the video has probably used his TV as a pizza hut menu or something.
Ive got both Samsung 2017 phone with AMOLED and a philips 2017 TV with LG OLED Panel, not even a hint of burn-ins on either one. Its a non-issue these days.

@Sebazy

No, not at all. You can go 5-6 years or more withour burn-ins these days on OLED-screens, esp. if the firmware got functions againt burn-ins.

@sanderev

That was back in 2011...OLED-tech has come a long way since then. Burn-ins is not a big issue these days

@Thoughts

No, Samsung is actually bigger than LG in this segment, OLED-screens for embedded devices. LG:s P-OLED for cellphones never really took off

I have to say, this port is great and the graphics has not taken that a "huge hit", its no bigger hit than other current-gen ports like DOOM or Witcher 3.

@Mr-Fuggles777
First time folk can play these sort of games portable for real, it's quite exciting. I was also excited when I could play 3D GTA portable on PSP, even if it was somewhat inferior to the console GTA-games.

lol, did EA really just pushed the release 'til tomorrow? Damnit, I was looking forward testing it out tonight, now I wont have time for 2 more days :/

Not my kind of game and it sure does look very muddy on the screenshots shared so far. But its free, so Im gonna give it a try.

I think a game like Vigor is better cross-plattform competition on Switch. It looks closer to the other versions PS4/Xbox and all three versions sticks to 30fps.

Oh no, not another Minecraft - Fortnite, Apex - Thing...

lol, I tought Switch was on the left

@ModdedInkling

I think the "rumors just keeps popping up" simple because Nintendo is always researching a big diversity of different tech. Doesn't mean they will settle for either micro-led or oled just because they are making inquiries around different technologies.

Seems a bit stupid to keep the 720p resolution if the screen is going to be almost an inch bigger, so the picture quality in undocked mode will actually be potential worse, even if the new model is more powerful? :/

Nice, Im waiting with replaying this one until the second DLC, so I can play it all at once.

@jump

Still looks super muddy. Frame rate is mostly OK, and at least they added ambient occlusion, so the worlds doesn't look as flat anymore as it did at launch.

Im gonna stick to Vigor, its more my kind of MP shooter. But I must say, the graphics in this port looks very decent. You can really tell this is not a stressed port.
