oh, looks like polish devs loves switch 2, even tho probably cd project gave some porting tools to them

@Dm9982 the ram leakage that occurs in the steam deck is because of vram, not general ram, steam deck has 8gb of vram maximum, thats why it has memory issues with some games like god of war. Switch 2 and overall all consoles have a completely different architecture where basically the whole RAM can be used as vram

@premko1 they also clarified than Switch 1 has the same "power" than xbox360 but there are a lot of switch games that look way better than any 360 game, modern chips specially in dedicated systems can push the bar even higher (in terms of visuals), so until we don't see any Switch 2 game, we don't know how the games are going to look like.

they said the mother board leak hasn't changed at all on what they expect, and also the 8nm suits with the rumored specs that were released since May last year. The only concern is related with power efficiency (battery life), only based in legacy chips that use 8nm, but they also point that this is a custom chip and probably nvidia engineers figure out how to solve this, they also stated that porting ampere architecture to 4nm or 5nm doesn't make any sense.

thats not micromanagment, publishers asking for small details changes is pretty common in gaming industry and overall in tech industry. Micromanagement is basically constant checks between the manager and the worker, request for art or programming changes is not micromanagement, Nintendo in this case is the client/publisher not the manager.

@Bunkerneath not really, cause of the inflation rate in the world, is useless to do savings, so money continuously needs to be invested and exchanged to combat inflation, basically to keep your money at least as the same value as past year.

@NintendoKnight I agree with the price tag they should have stayed with 40 usd, but this hd version is actually pretty well ported, I don't know where you see the stuttering but the game is 30fps capped and 1080p native, not to mention that some texture and models were recreated (like luigi and Gadd) also with 60 fps the game could actually feel weird cause the original was also 30 fps.

well, HiFi rush was planned to have 120 fps on modern console but it was cut to be 60fps to keep consistency. Framerate is a bigger issue when you don't have constant framerate and it gets noticeable when it happens and can even affect gameplay

@ndunsmo time based combat doesn't matter how much frame you put but is extremely important to be constant (aka locked), probably one of the reasons behind they choose to lock the framerate to 30 instead of 60. If you see even many modern games that run at 60 fps they struggle to keep the 60 constantly having some areas and certain part of the game with frame drops, those drops are usually not below 45 and are not perceptible for the gamer in terms of visual smoothness but for time base combat it can affect gameplay significantly

@HOUSE sadly here in Mexico where I live is hard to get an OLED steam deck and not sure if paying again for the whole product is worth the upgrade cause going from 60 to 90 in a small screen is hard to notice specially for indie games, also the OLED version was just released, so yeah of course anything 2024/2023 is better than 2017 hardware. Still for weight and battery life I still prefer to play on a switch console for indie games that has proper port work (not this case).

People asking plot is hilarious, the movie had more plot than Pacific Rim, Wreck it Ralph, Player number one, Avatar, Mad Max and even the last Spiderman movie (all the plot is from the prequel). Even Guillermo del Toro praised the Mario movie because not all animated movies needs to have the same pace as a Pixar/Disney movie, but people wants that all animated movies to have a death or a big familiar problem meanwhile live action movies are about everything.

@HOUSE I have both and I still prefer the Switch if the game is available on both systems (except on poor optimization games like this obviously) because overall the Switch has better user and handheld experience, battery life is better, less weight, better screen and also you don't need to play with the game settings and hardware setting for each game. People forget that SteamDeck is not handheld but a mobile PC which has their own niche market, I still enjoy the console but is not a Switch competitor.

@NIN10DOXD Zelda wasn't a system seller until BOTW, you can create new stuff on old franchises to get the attention of new public. Is actually easier to increase the fanbase of an old known franchise than creating a completely new franchise with huge fanbase.

this can be also bad news, 10 months of QA without any announcement is worrisome is almost the same thing that happened when development was under Namco Bandai, which is not hitting the quality standards.

@Pat_trick they were working with Sony recently which is both good and bad

@Mana_Knight well both Switch Lite and Switch Oled have good sales, and Wii U was confusing because people though it was a peripheral for the Wii

why is not switch pro in the guesses?

@GooseLoose1 no substance but a lot big directors love it and has best animated movie nominations everywhere lol

@Pat_trick the ones that actually created the MCU, Tobei Maguire spidermans and the spiderverse

@fbnaulin 50% of people didn't pass the first level

@Carlore_Preventis not really, he was right, Miyamoto was the best game designer at that time (1989), Pikmin was 12 years later and is completely a different story. Miyamoto was worried about the challenges Itoi was going to have which actually he had, but the dev team behind Mother were geniuses, one of them Iwata.

the weakest campaign and the strongest multiplayer in the series, and they decided just to keep the campaign lol

@ZeldaFan83 season 4 was good

@axelhander no way lol (specially with Multiversus), and with the other games maybe just in the "competitive" scene because those games are more like Melee clones, but still, Smash ultimate has way more content than any of those games combined.

@GooseLoose1 I didn't say that 10 years there weren't good animated movies all those movies you mention are great, amazing and nobody is arguing that they sucked, what I'm saying is that 10 years ago or even just 5 years ago most critics were giving a free pass to bad/mediocre animated movies like the boss baby or good dinosaur for example (as they did with Puss in Boots first movie).

@GooseLoose1 I didn't asked the other options, and is pretty obvious why Sony can't make Nintendo movies, Puss in boots was well received because it was released in 2011 at that time critics didn't care if animated movies have good plots or not, Puss in boots 2 ended to be one of the best animated movies of the decade despite being a sequel of a thin mediocre plot, the point here is that Nintendo/Illumination still have a chance to create something magical for the future, is not like the franchise is ruined or Nintendo will have to wait another 20 years to try again in movie industry.

@GooseLoose1 Sony... really? lol, Illumination has good renders but they are not good with scripts, ironically the Mario movie script has nothing to do with Illumination neither the direction, they hired scripts and directors from the Lego Movie and Teen Titans go movie, Nintendo wanted to focus more on children than adults on this one which is ok, remember the first Puss in Boots movie was super thin on script too.

even as expected is not good for game industry, other media industries still have massive events doing showcases and big announcements, I still remember when there was much more excitement for an E3 than a Comic-on.

@CharlieGirl still compared to other industries, videogame price cost is the most "fair" one lol, the same discussion happened 15 years ago when they increased 10 dollars more, still most of AAA games doesn't cover the high costs to develop a game with their sales, that's why is one of the worst industries to work. Meanwhile people are actually paying 300 dollars for windows or word lol. Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are doing well because of the hardware sales, and companies like Riot, Activision, EA get their revenue thanks to microtransactions.

Wii was also very successful and still his lifespan was 6 years, main reason they couldn't milk the wii more was because the hardware was getting outdated pretty fast, with the Switch is happening the same, is still having good sales but his outdated specs can rush Nintendo to release the Switch successor any time soon

@maulinks then play galaxy 2, Galaxy 2 is my favorite so far cause is less linear and more difficult than the first one and keeps also the innovation and the fun of the first one.

People saying that Perfect Dark was better when technically PD is a Goldeneye sequel and Time Splitters a PD and GE sequel. All those games are part of the goldenera.

not good, the last time they did that was in 2020 and we had a first party direct until February next year lol, I don't think this would be the case, but looks like we are not going to have a Nintendo direct for a while.

also is not a Zelda type of game, probably Zelda 1, but it feels more like a roguelike game but with story progression and outworld map.

is not that easy, the issue is that the difficulty is not progressive or consistent, some dungeons are too easy but others are a bit tricky, also some classes have their learning curve to lvl up, I guess it depends much how are you playing, because I also saw people complaining that the game is too difficult.

James Bond games in GCN era were fun and pretty decent, Nightfire, Everything and Nothing, Agent Under Fire, were between good and decent, then Wii Goldeneye was okish and the rest crap.

@CharlieGirl FzeroGX is pretty good has better race mechanics and high tier visuals that still stands in the modern era. But FZero-X tracks have much better design than FzeroGX, and even if the gameplay is simpler, single campaign and multiplayer mode are much fun.

I'll give a chance to this game in a cheap offer. I hate Dark Souls type of game, back then I hated that Dark Souls had massive good reviews when clearly this type of games is not for everyone. Dark Souls is not a hard game is a patience game, something I don't fu**ing want when playing videogames.

@ALinkttPresent even if you have, services like Stadia, Steam Cloud, Xbox cloud or Nvidia Geforce Now. All are much better options. Cloud services is for devices that are not created to play videogames, like chromebooks, mid to low end phones, cheap pcs, smart tvs, etc...

@Crono1973 only in GOG you're actually buying game, the rest of the digital shops you're actually renting the game, have DRM and
need to be online to play.

well apparently is also poor in pc, ps5 and xbox series
