adjl 07/21/21 5:46:50 PM #20:	PK_Spam posted... No, but itll definitely be a hit to Nintendos indie sales. Potentially, but the higher price point is going to be a bit of a hard sell if somebody's just looking for a portable indie machine. For anyone with a decent existing indie library on Steam that only cares about that, it'll be the better option, but for anyone that cares at all about Nintendo's exclusive lineup, it's a much harder sell. That's especially true given that so many people (especially ones that care about portable indies) already have a Switch, in which case buying a Deck becomes even less reasonable. Of Valve's attempted forays into pseduo-console gaming, I think this is one of their better ideas. The Link was held back by most home networks struggling to keep up with its bandwidth needs, resulting in input and display lag that made higher-end games pretty miserable to play. Steam Machines were held back by a general disdain for prebuilts among existing PC gamers and a price point higher than console gamers were comfortable with if they wanted to have something that could reliably run everything. This is priced reasonably and offers both portability and easy TV connectivity, which I can see being appealing, but the fact that it won't be able to handle every Steam game (and will likely struggle with higher-end games moving forward, making it mostly a BC/Indie machine) is going to hurt it a lot.

streamofthesky 07/21/21 6:05:00 PM #21:	Nah, at worst it'll kill all hype for the OLED Switch, but that thing seemed to have a pretty muted/negative reaction even before Steam stole Nintendo's thunder. adjl posted... That's twice what the Switch has, natively, and it's doing just fine. Expanding memory as needed isn't particularly difficult. 1) Switch has physical games, so some or all of your library doesn't even need storage beyond save files and patches/updates. 2) Switch games are a lot smaller than PC games. Outside of Nintendo, games the last two gens have grown massive in size, it's just insane. Apparently it's due to texture maps for super-realistic looking stuff? But I also think developers just got lazy and stopped trying to compress the file size since storage on PC and consoles grew. <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:956327204] in Will the S...

AAA games require a lot more RAM than is available on phones. Unless computer technology plateaus, what is considered "AAA" will keep getting more advanced as the less compact consoles and PCs also improve with time along with phones (phones however, get upgrades more often, but with smaller improvements). It's not easy to port the most modern AAA home console game to a weaker device unless it was planned to be done from the beginning, which usually means limiting the game to ensure it would work on weaker devices. And the range of phones is huge, not everyone is carrying around the newest, most expensive model. Although I don't think hardware limitations is the main reason most AAA publishers don't port most of their games to smartphones anyway, I think they just don't have faith most people would be willing to pay AAA prices up front to play AAA games on their smartphones. The proven money making method for smartphone games is microtransactions and loot boxes/gatcha, and they work extraordinarily well. --- Mwahahahaha. <cite>ForteEXE3850 posted [p:956339987] in Will the S...

Unbridled9 07/22/21 3:53:01 AM #39:	Let's be honest. Even if this thing was amazing the Switch is likely gonna get phased out in 2-3 years anyways with a new console. I don't think you can really 'kill' it when that's the case. --- I am the gentle hand who heals, the happy smile who shields, and the foot that will kick your ***! - White Mage <cite>Unbridled9 posted [p:956341244] in Will the S...

The proven money making method for smartphone games is microtransactions and loot boxes/gatcha, and they work extraordinarily well. While that is an issue (I think it was the devs behind The Banner Saga that talked about having huge problems trying to sell their game on mobile for even $5, despite selling it just fine on other platforms for much more than that), I'm not actually sure how relevant that is to the modern AAA market. Most AAA games are no less monetized than the average mobile game, such that the sale price is actually a fairly small minority of their total revenue. Really, the only reason they continue to have a sale price at all is because people are still willing to pay that and still pay for post-purchase monetization afterwards. The second that changes, AAA games will be going F2P. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. <cite>adjl posted [p:956368849] in Will the S...
